Bingo Sports Optimus Prime

[The Doctor]

(Not able to find the original thread).

I am not usually interested in live action movie toys but this is so bonkers that I must have it.

A tie-in with a high-end car brokerage that specialises in luxury sports cars and Supercars? (Or more precisely with their sponsored racing team by the looks of things). That is fascinatingly random.

Not the first time Takara or Tomy have partnered up with a racing team (going as far back as Binaltech), but nevertheless this does seem like a wonderfully random cross-promotion!

Looks surprisingly good in both modes too - car mode is well-executed and the livery is very bold, and the humanoid mode..well, it is basically movie Optimus Prime wearing a tail-coat, which is delightfully mad!

Is this an original mould or a repaint/remould of something?
