Optimus Prime is one of my favorite childhood heroes and toys. The folks over at Encline Design did an amazing job give Optimus a steampunk art style that is still a functional transforming figure! Don’t worry mom, I won’t get so excited that I puke on it like Christmas Day when i as little (poor [...]
