Hasbro Reveals TRANSFORMERS: LEGACY ROBOTS IN DISGUISE 2001 OMEGA PRIME HasLab Project
Hasbro has revealed their latest Transformers HasLab crowd-funding project based on the Transformers: Legacy Robots in Disguise 2001 Omega Prime. This features an 8.5-inches tall Optimus Prime and 11.5 inches tall Ultra Magnus action figures.

The description reads: “Two Autobots, bonded like brothers, yet divided by destiny. Optimus Prime was chosen to be the bearer of the Matrix of Leadership and the next commander of the Autobots, leaving Ultra Magnus scornful and bitter. Ultra Magnus challenged Optimus Prime for possession of the Matrix of Leadership and Autobot command. In the middle of battle, the two combined into a new form: Ultimate Energy Combiner, Omega Prime.”
