Powermaster Optimus prime is a heavy retooling and redeco of the 'Generations' Leader Class Ultra Magnus figure.

Since 'Titan Masters' are all heads, the 'Powermaster' name was carried over into the name of the figure to retain that G1 connection. Instead of a Headmaster whose head became a small figure, Powermasters had engines that detached and became small engines. Instead of being just part of the name, 'Powermaster' actually referred to his special ability. Powermaster Optimus Prime is based on the 1988 version of Optimus Prime. In true 'Generations' fashion, Titans Return gives us characters from the Headmasters era in new forms that pay homage to the originals. In some ways the story resembles 'Armada' which had a similar conceit for the Mini-Cons. Titan Masters focuses on the return of small robots to Cybertron that can unlock incredible power, and it is up to the Transformers to merge with them and harness those abilities and strengths. Now almost thirty years after they were originally introduced the Headmaster gimmick has returned in a new form: Titan Masters! Headmasters were Transformers whose heads detached and became smaller figures that could then pilot or ride the Transformers in beast and vehicle forms (or in a couple cases, their battle station or city forms!). In 1987 Hasbro and Takara took a bold step into a new play pattern by introducing Headmasters. Once figures like Combiners were introduced it became clear Transformers could be more than just a robot that changed from one form to another. Very early on in the life of the Transformers line the toy line began to move away from the sole gimmick of transformation.
