Commemorative Series II Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor was more of a reissue of Japan's 1988 God Ginrai with Godbomber than Powermaster Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime had a trailer with lighter grey than God Ginrai's silverish color and God Ginrai had some metal parts while PM Optimus Prime was all plastic. One notable difference between CS II Optimus and God Ginrai is that the missiles are grey for the reissue instead of chrome. God Ginrai and Godbomber could originally be purchased separately but CS II Powermaster Optimus Prime and Apex Bomber were sold together in the reissue.
