Optimus Prime (Shattered Glass): Difference between revisions

Line 53:

A new Optimus Prime character appeared as the centerpiece for the 2008 [[BotCon]] exclusive toy set. This Optimus Prime leads the Autobots in a [[mirror universe]] where the Autobots are evil and the Decepticons are good.

~~Several [[third party Transformer]]s have been created that were inspired by this character, like [[Double~~ Shattered Glass ~~Konvoy]]~~ and ~~a purple recolor~~ of ~~Knight Morpher Commander~~.

===Development===

The initial concept for Shattered Glass Optimus Prime has him colored dark red and black, but this was abandoned because it looked too much like Cybertron Galaxy Force Optimus Prime.

===Reception===

The Botcon 2008 set was chosen as the "Action Figure Digest Hot Pick." This version of Optimus Prime was featured on their magazine cover.<ref>{{cite journal |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |year=2008 |title=Botcon 2008 Transformers...

===Fictional biography===

{{Quote|During Cybertron's Golden Age of peace, an elite few served as the guardians of Cybertron's accumulated knowledge. Among these data clerks was Optronix. A low-level operator who sought to replace those above him, Optronix turned his research skills to finding methods of manipulation. Eventually, he rose to prominence; however, when his activities were uncovered, he was removed from service and left purposeless. Deep in his Ember though, Optronix believed he was best fit to lead Cybertron. He hungered for power and through his studies, he determined that military might was the only way to achieve his goals. Preaching a philosophy of destruction and conquest, he eventually began re-engineering his body as well as taking on a new name: Optimus Prime. He then began refashioning the bodies of his followers into weapons as well. Armed with weapons and a uniting philosophy, he declared his warriors autonomous from the rest of Cybertron and thus named them the Autobots!}}
