The 20th Anniversary DVD Edition Optimus Prime is a recast of the popular Optimus Prime Masterpiece action figure released in 2003. This version, however, has garnered the scorn of Transformers action figure collectors. It seems like Hasbro's "savvy" marketing team has gone too far this time. Nov 2, 2006 - 10:13:16 AM
