Transformers Studio Series Voyager 03 War for Cybertron Gamer Edition Optimus Prime 6.5” Action Figure

Product Information

It takes place in an alternate timeline. The Kingdom blurb does hint at some kind of catastrophe taking place in the distant future where the Maximals and Predacons hail from, which led them to pre-historic Earth in search of the AllSpark to fix whatever happened, so it is possible that some kind of time vortex-type issue may have played into this.

Evil Laugh: Starscream and Megatron are the most common users of sinister, bellowing laughter, though the latter only does it when he's either killed something big in a fight or achieved some important goal. Captain Smooth and Sergeant Rough: Optimus is the most cool-headed of the Autobots (he needs to be, since so much is riding on his leadership), while his subordinates are much more rough and rowdy, especially Ironhide.

The Transformers: War for Cybertron video games launched the franchise alongside the novel Transformers: Exodus. Published by Activision and developed by High Moon Studios, Next Level Games and Vicarious Visions, the games are rooted in the Aligned continuity family. They depict the events of the Cybertronian war that led to the Dark Energon contamination of the planet and sent the Transformers into deep space. Beastify the battlefield! Worlds collide when the Maximals and Predacons join the fight, coming together with the Autobots and Decepticons in an epic battle that will alter their destiny forever.

Video Game Cruelty Potential: The first stage has a rest area where the Decepticons have taken several workers and defenders prisoner. Not only can you freely execute them if you like, the game actually gives you an achievement/trophy if you kill all but one of them. Knight in Sour Armor: A few of the Autobots are dedicated to the cause but worn-out, sardonic, and snarky from living through the war, especially Ironhide and Silverbolt. Proud Warrior Race Guy: Many, especially on the Decepticon side, which is for all intents and purposes a warrior race itself. On the Autobot side, Ironhide and Warpath are the biggest examples. Instead of giving this continuity family an official name, Hasbro has instead referred to it with brief descriptors such as "new aligned", [8] "aligned", [7] "modern", [1] [16] and "War for Cybertron/Exodus". [8] VP of Intellectual Property Development Aaron Archer said at a BotCon 2010 panel that he had considered naming it "Epochs" but then decided not to.Mechanical Lifeforms: Aside from the Transformers themselves, the depths of Cybertron have weird floating robot squids and other such things. Hot-Blooded: A decidedly Autobot trait is boisterous and willful attitude dedicated to the Autobot cause. Optimus Prime being killed by Megatron and then resurrected by Unicron as Nemesis Prime is extremely similar to Galvatron's origin story in G1. The difference being that Megatron was still alive but badly injured from his last fight against Optimus on Earth before being abandoned by Starscream and encountering Unicron who transformed him into Galvatron, the WFC version of Nemesis having only died as the Optimus' G1 counterpart but was instead resurrected as an evil version of himself by Unicron rather than the real himself by the Autobots at the end of the last season.
