That\u2019s right &#8211; your two favorite Primes come packed together in one awesome boxed set.<\/p>\n<p>As the third installment in the <em>Prime Wars<\/em> series, these Leader Class figures include a smaller Transformer that combines into a larger bot. Naturally, Hot Rod transforms into Rodimus Prime, and Orion Pax (who was made famous by the classic G1 episode \u201cWar Dawn<em>\u201d<\/em>) morphs into Optimus.<\/p>\n<p>Adam\u2019s fawning over these toys, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com\/prodinfo.asp?number=HSE0601A&amp;utm_source=ee-blog&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=product\">Optimus Prime<\/a>, and it\u2019s easy to see why. With each figure sporting four different modes (two separate robot modes and two vehicle modes), these Primes offer a ton of replay value. Plus, the build quality on both is seriously on point. Not since the late, great <em>Generation 2 <\/em>line has there been an Optimus this good. And that\u2019s really saying something considering the various installments and reboots between then and now.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a little early, but this Optimus could easily be a contender for Adam\u2019s figure of the year.
