Transformers Unite Warriors UW-05 Grand Prime
Similar to the Defensor/ Guardian/ Protectobots Set, this set is also a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive, hence the outer shipping box.
Gotta love the cartoonist who thinks up these sketches for the manuals. Based on when the Autobots were surfing the waves in “The Ultimate Doom” arc, plus a few girls from the Kiss Players line thrown in for good fan service measure.
Optimus Prime.
Dang it… someone messed up the paint application at the factory… luck of the draw.
Still, Prime looks really good. Almost like his G1 counterpart. I just wish the head was more G1-ish.

This is something new, I never even realized this could be done with Mirage. Thanks Takara manual!

Grand Prime
If you’re having trouble making Grand Prime stand, make sure Mirage’s feet are folded up, otherwise, Mirage will be too tall for Sunstreaker to balance out Prime.
Yep the inner chest is still unpainted.
