And the redecos with remolded heads continue! This time, it's Reveal the Shield Optimus Prime (G2 Laser Rod body) who's remolded head get revealed in his instructions. The image can be viewed over at The Allspark Forums, thanks to David "Walky" Willis of Shortpacked! and TFWiki.net. As to who Optimus is getting remolded into, well...

..It's really difficult to tell! All kinds of crazy guesses are popping up and about, including, but not limited to, Motormaster (it looks kinda like his G1 toy's head), Ultra Magnus, RiD Scourge, Nemesis Prime, Sentinel Zeta Prime, Toxitron, Optimus Primal, Ginrai, Longrack, Tigerhawk, Micromaster Overload... What? I said "crazy". XD

This is gonna sound weird comming from lil' ol' me, number one stunticon fan that I am; but I kinda hope it's not Motormaster.

I don't think that a headswap does the character justice, but really that might be as good as we're ever gonna get.

i wouldn't complain if it is any of those exept motermaster because quite honestly motermaster is too cool to be a remolded head on an optimus prime body.
i am kind of hoping for ginrai, rid scourge, sentinal za or toxitron. with any luck it won't be magnus as he deserves his own mold damb it!
i would however love to see a figure of wing or termoil

I'm hoping it's at least a Decepticon. I understand the marketing strategy behind repaints and remolds, but they should at least make the remold on the opposite side then the original. I'll exclude the Seekers, and clones (Nemisis Prime, Sun Storm, etc etc) from this, but I feel it gets a little old after some time. The best Optimus and Magnus figures were from R.I.D. because Magnus wasn't just a white repaint of Optimus.

I agree fellas. I hope it's at least magnus, scourge or Nemesis Prime.

No way it's Ultra Magnus. I'd bet ya $5 that the next time Hasbro comes out w/ a G1 inspired version, he'll have it's own, transformable trailer, not another Optimus Recolor... It'd be cool to be another prime, but I doubt that too... The head sculpt looks like movie Ironhide to me, though I'm sure that's not it... Yeah, I thinking RID Scourge is the most likely choice.

As much as I want a nemesis prime, He is exactly the same as Optimus, But black. That means no new head. Plus, Scourge's body looks like that in RID
