Optimus Prime Takes on Golden, Azure, and Shadow Forms in XM Studios’ Newest Variants

September 18, 2025

Legendary Autobot leader Optimus Prime gets mythic, arcane, and shadow-infused upgrades in three distinct variants from XM Studios: Gold Dragon Version, Azure Dragon Version, and Shadow Version. All three reinterpret the classic design through different aesthetic lenses, giving fans more ways to show their allegiance in style.

The Gold Dragon Version transforms Optimus into a majestic golden beast, emphasizing gilded armor, regal ornamentation, and stately details. The Azure Dragon Version leans into mythological symbolism with deep blues, dragon-scale textures, gold accents, and an aesthetic that evokes storm clouds or celestial water. The Shadow Version embraces darkness, with muted tones, shadowed edges, possibly matte and gloss contrasts, and a more stealthy, brooding look compared to the ornate Dragon variants. All are premium statues, likely in the same scale (1/10) and material class as XM Studios’ other Mythical Beasts / Premium Collectibles line.
