Pepsi Prime

Hasbro and Pepsi have released this figure in the past, but the most recent release was as a prize and as a Hasbro Toy Shop exclusive in 2007 to coincide with the release of Michael Bay's first Transformers film. The figure is the Autobot commander Optimus Prime, but it comes with a free bottle of Pepsi.

The mold is 100% Generation One Optimus Prime. The cab looks and transforms exactly the same. However, the figure has some different stickers and paint applications with the Pepsi logo on it. The trailer is the biggest difference as it was an entirely new mold. Rather than have the classic trailer from 1984 or 1992, this trailer was a flatbed with side clamps. The clamps could hold the bottle of Pepsi that Optimus came with or another bottle.

Overall, this is really sweet figure that is more of a collector's item. If you love Pepsi or Optimus Prime or both, this would be worth picking up if you can find it. E-bay is option number one, or option number two is seeing if it still available through the Hasbro Toy Shop.
