This TRANSFORMERS collectible shows OPTIMUS PRIME in action: just tilt the coin from side to side, and you’ll see the AUTOBOT leader instantly switch from robot to a ROBOTS IN DISGUISE mode.

Design:
The reverse design features lenticular technology, which seamlessly fuses two colourful images of the iconic TRANSFORMERS character, OPTIMUS PRIME. In the first image, the leader of the AUTOBOTS is shown in robot mode against a fiery backdrop. In the second image, OPTIMUS PRIME has assumed a vehicle form. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Some wild facts…
OPTIMUS PRIME is the strongest of all AUTOBOTS and a formidable fighter… but he’s also a pacifist.
In vehicle mode, “Generation 1” OPTIMUS PRIME is a semi. When he changes into robot mode, the character splits into three different components: a drone named ROLLER; a combat deck with an ion blaster; and the familiar robot module known as the BRAIN CENTRE (seen on your coin).

Packaging:

OPTIMUS PRIME, MEGATRON, BUMBLEBEE, STARSCREAM, JAZZ and more—they’re the TRANSFORMERS, an alien race of mechanical beings that can instantly change into alternate forms. These ROBOTS IN DISGUISE crash-landed on Earth millions of years ago, after their home planet of CYBERTRON had been devastated by war. Re-animated in a modern world, the two warring factions continue to clash, with the heroic AUTOBOTS fighting for freedom and justice against the evil DECEPTICONS.

Our salute to TRANSFORMERS—and the homegrown talent behind the scenes—features the legendary hero and champion of peace, OPTIMUS PRIME. Through ultra high relief engraving, the face of the AUTOBOTS pushes out from the coin’s surface, where the character’s name is inscribed in CYBERTRONIAN lettering. We’ve also added a special feature for the fans: photo-luminescent technology to ensure the colourful eyes will glow.

The deep colours are in keeping with the original toys and animated series from the 1980s, while glow paint hints at optic weaponry.

The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Did you know…

Canadian actor Peter Cullen was the voice of both OPTIMUS PRIME and IRONHIDE in the original television series. The Canadian connection doesn’t end there: several other incarnations were produced in Canada and/or featured Canadian animators and voice actors.

Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
