Extremely attractive high-grade MISB example of one of the hobby’s great icons: Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime is not only appealing to G1 collectors but has wide crossover appeal to nearly every high-end hobbyist that appreciates the beloved decade of the 1980’s. Easily one of the nicest examples we have come across. Clean and crisp, both front and back, with beautiful bold colors and a clear window with no yellowing (90 subgrade!), this piece exhibits no colorbreak whatsoever along the front edges and the factory tape is present and remains firmly intact on each end. The reverse is flawless and free of the typical G1 flap crease. Desirable mint condition Pepsi sticker adorns the front. Those issued with the Pepsi sticker are believed to have been released in a much smaller quantity than those without. Graded less than one year ago in August 2024, AFA has assigned this one an “investment grade” 85. This is an outstanding example in all respects, and one of the most recognizable pieces in the entire hobby.
