Optimus Prime features electronic lights and sounds, plus radio-controlled transformations.

When the truck cab is changed into a robot, the truck trailer opens up into a Mini-Con base station all by itself! When Optimus Prime is transformed into the torso part of Optimus' super robot mode, the base station raises up automatically to become the legs of the super robot. The auto-transformation also works in the other direction - when Optimus is transformed from robot to truck cab, the base station closes up to form the truck trailer all by itself.

The Mini-Con base station has ramps, firing stations, runways and storage areas for Mini-Con figures.

Optimus Prime can combine with Jetfire to create Jet Prime.
