That's really wierd, I remember OP quite vividly as a tractor/trailer truck thingy. I remember him being a lot more blue than the red fire engines in the wikipedia article too.

Very strange, perhaps beer really does destroy brain cells

kwak, the way i understand it is there a few generations of transformers toys, which coincided with different generations of the cartoon series.

The Optimus Prime most of us probably remember having as a toy (and the one I had as a kid) was the 1st generation, which was a tractor/trailer unit like this one.

Reading a bit further on Wikipedia, the one you've bought looks like the one here which was from a next-generation series of transformers imprted to the US from Japan.

EDIT: sorry sarah, i should really read an entire thread before i post!!

My son was playing with his Toy fire engine today saying "Autobots to the rescue", I said "I thought OP was a truck" to which he said "OP is a fire engine on the cartoons on Jetix at the moment"

today he turned into a Big rig + trailer, to my son's dissapointment.
