• Takara Tomy merges two legends with SYNERGENEX: Optimus Prime scanned with Evangelion Unit-01 becomes Prime Unit 01

  Takara Tomy delivers a dream crossover with SYNERGENEX Transformers x Evangelion Prime Unit 01, a collaboration that fuses the iconic presence of Optimus Prime with the distinctive design language and color scheme of Evangelion Unit-01. The concept is bold and collector-focused: Optimus Prime is “scanned” with EVA-01, resulting in a hybrid character—Evangelion Prime Unit 01—that feels instantly recognizable from both worlds while standing as a unique centerpiece for any shelf.

  This release features a full transformation from robot mode into a truck-type vehicle mode, maintaining the classic Transformers play pattern while bringing EVA styling into every angle. In robot mode, the figure is fully poseable with articulated joints across the body, allowing dynamic action stances, heroic “leader” silhouettes, or EVA-inspired aggressive poses with weapons drawn and core exposed.

  Accessories are themed directly after Evangelion Unit-01’s armaments, including an Ion Gatling Blaster, two Progressive Energy Knives, and a Cassius Axe. For clean display, the included back mount unit allows accessories to be attached to the figure’s back, helping you create a loaded “battle-ready” look without cluttering the base around the figure.

  One of the most striking display features is the chest mechanism: opening the chest panel reveals the internal core. The core can be removed and attached to the included Core Matrix, enabling a dramatic “core presentation” pose—perfect for recreating high-impact scenes and making the crossover concept feel more “Evangelion” in spirit.

  The head also offers two distinct looks. You can switch from a mask-on state to a mask-off state, and in mask-off mode the mouth can open and close, adding extra character and expression for photography and display.

  Set Features:

  • SYNERGENEX crossover: A premium collaboration combining Transformers and Evangelion design DNA.
  • EVA-01 styling: Optimus Prime adopts Unit-01’s signature motifs and color scheme as Prime Unit 01.
  • Full transformation: Converts from robot mode to truck-type vehicle mode.
  • Fully poseable robot mode: Articulated joints support a wide range of dynamic action poses.
  • EVA-inspired weapon set: Includes Ion Gatling Blaster, Progressive Energy Knives x2, and Cassius Axe.
  • Back mount display: Attach accessories to the back via the back mount unit for a clean “equipped” look.
  • Core reveal gimmick: Open chest panel to expose the internal core for dramatic display.
  • Removable core + Core Matrix: Detach the core and mount it on the included Core Matrix to recreate a “core presentation” pose.
  • Head display options: Switch between mask-on and mask-off; mouth opens/closes in mask-off mode.
  • No batteries required: All features are mechanical—no power needed.
