Most of the body is die-cast metal, the detailing is made from ABS engineering plastic.
Optimus Prime’s stunning paintwork is red and blue metallic, with the same high quality as modern car paints.
The all-important illuminating Matrix of Leadership is hidden behind a matrix chamber door. The Matrix will be a ball shape with a crystal-like inner appearance like the original animation design.
Accessories to accompany the kit include Optimus Prime’s blaster, Energon Axe, and an illuminated display base that will be individually numbered to give a unique, personal and collectable quality to each model.
