During Tokyo Toy Show, part of the package for DA28 DX Optimus Prime, which we now know as Striker Optimus Prime, was inadvertently photographed. The truck mode image is reminiscent of Optimus' Stealth Force mode from the recently released game and presumably seen in the movie. Up until now a mainline transforming Optimus Prime figure with stealth mode(as in one with a robot mode) has been absent. Could this have been one of the figures present at Botcon 2011 but withheld from being shown?

There's more to this case. Amiblo mentioned in one of their reports, that DA28 Striker Optimus Prime is a triple changer product. We take it this takes into account the stealth mode, possibly formed by the new gun and shield. An image of the prototype has been shown by way of CYBERGUNDAM BLOG.

This figure, as far as we know, has not been labeled as a Japanese exclusive, yet. With that said, is Striker Optimus Prime a figure you would like to see stateside? It is a retooled leader class figure. Like Jetwing Optimus Prime, it uses a retooled Revenge Of The Fallen Leader Optimus Prime as a base, however this one seems to retain the swords. This is also the 1st figure to feature the blaster that Prime is often seen wielding in the various movie posters/ads within recent months, and only one to come with a shield.
