The Deluxe-class Earth Mode Optimus Prime has a very similar engineering design to to the Deluxe-class Cybertron Mode Optimus Prime figure. He has a battle-damaged deco and comes with a Deluxe-class Cybertron Mode Megatron figure as well as a DVD featuring the first episode of Transformers Animated. He has a distinctively more Generation 1 look than other Animated Primes, given the addition of smokestacks (a detail absent from the animation model) and a lack of black beneath the silver stripes.

Like deluxe Megatron, he features a punching/axe slashing gimmick, where twisting his spring-loaded waist will snap back for a “robot punch.” His axe (which is the most show-accurate out of all of his toys) stores in his aft section. There are actually 4 wheels on his legs, so that the tires are always on the outside. Unfortunately, he can’t skate on them like in the show.
