I was going to ask the same thing ,but i thought i was already going insane cause there is a picture of a toy on a comic book cover .Well for the first time they are showing the main reason why the comic was made in the first place ,to sell toys.Talk about truth in advertisement ,i can go on and on

It's the Music Label Optimus Prime. It's been out for a couple years but never released in the US market. I have him and he's pretty f---in' cool. Highly recommended.

Ah, right! Knew there'd be a logical reason. In this instance I'll put it down to personal ignorance.

Nah, not even that. I know another guy who has the Music Label Convoy and he didn't even know there was an Optimus Prime version. It's like this weird blind spot: you have to know it's there to see it or something.
