A stylish new Kotobukiya figurine for Optimus Prime gives the Transformers hero his most unexpected form yet: a beautiful bishoujo anime girl.
The article discusses a unique collectible from the "Transformers" franchise where Optimus Prime, traditionally known as a male robot, has been reimagined as a "bishoujo" anime girl. This collectible is part of a collaboration between Kotobukiya and Takara Tomy, featuring a design by illustrator Shunya Yamashita. The figure showcases Optimus Prime with a feminine appearance, complete with a Matrix of Leadership necklace, a sword, and a blaster, all while maintaining elements of the iconic Autobot leader's design. This transformation into a bishoujo style not only appeals to fans of the Transformers series but also to collectors of anime-style figures, blending two distinct fan cultures. The figure is set to be released in November 2024, priced at $160, and is available for pre-order, highlighting the ongoing trend of gender-swapping characters in merchandise to expand market appeal.
