In 2008, the Transformers twisted parallel universe was revealed – the Shattered Glass universe, a dark mirror where the roles and factions have been reversed. The once heroic Autobots are now an evil army, with their leader, Optimus Prime, an ambitious conqueror who stops at nothing, and who is known to modify his comrades into killing machines. The traditionally heroic Optimus Prime now sports a ghastly and sinister purple hue on his body, reflecting the bold and terrifying mirror universe.
Standing at approximately 17.8cm tall, MDLX Shattered Glass Optimus Prime is part of the MDLX series by threezero, specially crafted for collectors of small-scale articulated mechanical action figures. Its notable features lie in the compact and intricate design, incorporating threezero’s signature weathered paint technique and the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. This figure utilizes engineering-plastics skeletal technology within its small frame, capable of high-articulation and durability, allowing for incredible poseability.
MDLX Shattered Glass Optimus Prime has been redesigned by threezero, taking inspiration from the original G1 Transformers animated series. It boasts stunning detail, with threezero’s renowned weathered paint technique. The upper body is coated in metallic purple and silver, while the lower body features a dominant metallic blue tone, and his head features sinister dark red optics. The mechanical patterns on each joint are sharply defined with expert sculpt work. The detail on his transparent chest window includes the signature shattered glass, portraying the fierce and menacing nature of MDLX Shattered Glass Optimus Prime.
The MDLX Shattered Glass Optimus Prime accessories include a total of six pairs of interchangeable hands, including two pairs of gesture hands, one pair of fists, one pair of Energon Axe holding hands, one pair of holding Ion Blaster hands, and one pair of holding “Matrix of Leadership” holding hands. The weapon designs are intricately detailed, featuring a metallic silver Ion Blaster and an Energon Axe with fluorescent green blade edges. Additionally, the set includes the “Matrix of Leadership” which can be inserted into MDLX Shattered Glass Optimus Prime’s chest.
