FIRST LOOK: Transformers 4 Optimus Prime From Age of Extinction Toyline

For the Transformers toy collectors out there, we have images of Optimus Prime from the toyline for the upcoming Michael Bay summer blockbuster, Transformers 4: Age of Extinction. Here's your first look:

Optimus Prime in Robot Mode from the upcoming toyline for Transformers 4: Age of Extinction.

The metallic painted parts indicate that this is probably the Takara version of Optimus that will mostly be on sale in Asia, however the basic look of the toy will likely match the version available in the U.S.

The toy appears to be poseable, but it seems to lack the complexity and detail that made previous versions of the movie version of Optimus Prime so highly sought after by kids and collectors alike.
