What's that? You don't like money? Well, Diamond will help you get rid of some of that unwanted cash and trade you a 14 inch Optimus Prime head replica for your troubles. It's limited to only 1,000 pieces and comes out in April.

Is it just me or does it seem to be a war within prime, with regards to the bit below his head? But all in all it looks quite cool. It would look a bit boring if it was moulded like the G1 prime head

It's a bit sh!tty. The chinguard grill effect is too obvious (I'd prefer if there was no such effect altogether). The head seems to be somewhat conical (nay, comical) in that it the 'brain' section is tiny compared to the substantial face plate area. Also, I really, really, really hate the japanese-influenced splaying outwards of his antennae. Once again, In summary: a bit sh!tty.
