Gold Optimus Prime

Flip-up arm panels

Prime’s arms have flip-up panels where you would normally find stickers, but this one has none. On the right-hand side you can see the hydraulic joints.

Gold Optimus Prime is also known among fans as Golden Lagoon Convoy, after an original G1 cartoon episode in which Optimus Prime is covered in gold after going into the Golden Lagoon.
