I'm trying to find a good translate add on but none of them will translate their page. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Nevermind. The page has an "english" option in the right top corner. The figure is called Dino Getter 2.
I can't find that pen anywhere though.

But that looks more like a prison shiv than a pen. It must be one of the most uncomfortable writing instrument ever made. Good looking bot mode though. Funny how they'll slap Optimus' head on anything to sell stuff.

The reason why they made this "pen" transform into Optimus is because the CEOs know there is a cult/religion out there that is dedicated to buying anything that is Optimus Prime.
Easy pass.
"Cult of Optimus"? Yeah those guys are dweebs! Oh hey, they just announced a Megatron toilet paper dispenser! Gotta jump on that bro!

i recall these little crappy plastic pens that would transform into some sort of robot, they were popular and were useless but nonetheless they were popular.
the robot mo isn't bad but he makes for a very uncomfortable looking pen. I'm waiting for musical instruments next.. it's the megatron harmonica vs the OP flute!

The pen is indeed mightier that the sword especially if you've got the "Touch!"

I'm guessing Takaras designers are bored silly twiddling their thumbs as Hasbro seem to be taking the lead in the design of the movie stuff (going by the official behind the scenes with the designers vids) so this is the random stuff they are doing.
I too would much rather see all the effort it takes to be put to something more worth the time and money, instead of something like this.

Optimus Prime/Convoy: $54.99
Black Convoy: $54.99
That's a little too rich for my blood...

AHHHH there's a black one? Sigh.. I'm going to have to pre-order this.

I have a pre-order in but I'll have to see more of the pen before I decide.

I prefer "Convoy" where possible, Optimus Prime tends to be too much of a mouthful at times.

Yeah, this is a cool looking bot, but for those prices I don't think they're that cool

Now that you mention it, this sorta' reminds me of that expensive, transforming, metal Optimus Prime ring from about 10 years ago that no one could actually wear as a ring. Except, of course, that this Op looks awesome in robot mode.MegaDump wrote:And I thought ordinary pens were uncomfortable to write with after an hour or so... This thing must be torture after ten minutes. Would anyone actually use this for writing?
And now a Magnus repaint...think Fansproject will create some upgrade armor for him that turns into a stapler?
