As long as I've been collecting Transformers, I have wished for there to be a female Optimus Prime. We've seen toys of Megatron (Megaempress), and I have 3rd Party figure of female Starscream (Star Queen), Bumblebee (Little Bee), and Cliffjumper (Little Red). But amazingly the most iconic Transformer never got a gender-swapped version... until now. MBreed is a 3rd Party manufacturer that reproduces the popular Furai model kits from Flame Toys but with an R-rated twist. I personally find the add-on rubberized breasts and buttocks pretty off-putting, but thankfully the figures still come with the pieces for the traditional body construction. This figure also comes with a very Optimus-like masked face, lots of bonus accessories, and awesome light-up eyes. This review is only highlighting the basic PG-13-rated display, namely because I was too rough and snapped her shoulder peg ... and was then too hesitant to swap parts for fear of more breakage. Let's check out Aicynus Primera below!
The Aicynus model kit comes with 24 sprues, a sticker sheet, and a handful of loose accessories and pieces.
Aicynus comes with a lot of unique weapons, notably the oversized Combiner Hunter blade.
Note that in this image, the red weapons don't have their yellow stickers applied yet.
She also comes with an extra set of hands, a piece that allows her to mount weapons on her back, an alternate inner-head mechanism (more on that below), the faceplate and visor pieces that came with Furai Arcee, and a sticker sheet.
The original sprues for this kit (that were not included in the Furai kits) deal with alternate displays of her chest and butt. I did not utilize these pieces. The white pieces are rubbery and flexible and provide anatomically correct breasts and rounder buttocks. You can see them displayed on the box images at the top of this post.
I wasn't expecting the light-up functionality of this figure. She comes with an alternate inner-skull assembly that has an empty cavity inside. This cavity houses a tiny magnet-operated LED light with three tiny batteries to light up her eyes. The square piece on the left holds a disc magnet. When you wave this magnet in front of her eyes, they light up, when you wave it again, they turn off.
Here is a pic I took of her lights before I applied all the sticker decals. One impressive detail is a light-blocking black sticker that goes on the inside of her face to keep her entire head from glowing instead of just her eyes.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Aicynus with the Furai Arcee and Furai Windblade.
Cheers!
