Transformers Timelines Hearts of Steel Comic Edition
Step off the page with Transformers Timelines Hearts of Steel Comic Edition, featuring Optimus Prime and Starscream brought to life as collectible action figures. Inspired by an alternate history where Transformers first connect with humanity in the late 1800s, these figures blend steampunk flair with bold, contemporary detailing to create a striking display and play experience.
Each figure showcases a distinctive look: Optimus Prime as a steam locomotive inspired hero and Starscream as a sleek steam flying machine. The comic-accurate deco uses vivid color and intricate panel-inspired detailing that resonates with both collectors and fans of storytelling through design.
Two converting figures, built for display and pose
The set includes two converting action figures with articulated heads, arms, and legs to enable dynamic poses. Optimus Prime stands about 5.5 inches tall and converts between robot and steam train mode in 19 steps, while Starscream measures about 5 inches and switches between robot and steam flying machine mode in 18 steps. The conversion sequences invite imaginative play without compromising on a polished display brick by brick.
- Ion blaster smokestack accessory that attaches in both modes
- Train roof shield to emphasize the steam train aesthetic
In addition, each figure comes with two gatling blaster accessories that attach in both modes, expanding display setups and action possibilities while keeping articulation intact.
Why this collection stands out
Beyond the build and deco, the Hearts of Steel concept adds a rich narrative layer, imagining a 19th-century encounter between Transformers and humanity. The combination of bold metallic forms and period-accurate styling provides a distinctive option for shelves, dioramas, or imaginative storytelling.
- Ideal for fans of Transformers history and steampunk-inspired design
- Great for gifting to young builders aged 8 and up or seasoned collectors
