Article Summary

Takara Tomy launches Transformers x Evangelion Synergenex Series, merging two iconic franchises in one figure.
Evangelion Prime Unit-01 features Optimus Prime reimagined with Evangelion Unit-01’s colors and design elements.
This fully articulated figure converts from robot to semi-truck and comes packed with themed accessories.
Pre-orders for the Transformers Evangelion Prime Unit-01 are open now, with release set for October 2026.

In the hit anime series, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Angels are mysterious, powerful beings that attack humanity throughout the series. It appears that they have now crafted a new robot from Energon as Takara Tomy debuts their wicked Transformers x Evangelion Synergenex Series figure. Evangelion Prime Unit-01 is online, which beautifully fuses the worlds of Transformers and Neon Genesis Evangelion into one. Inspired by the iconic Evangelion Unit-01 from the anime and the leadership presence of Optimus Prime, this figure reimagines Prime in Unit-01's signature purple & green color, with some modified specifications.

Standing about 9.84″ tall, this special Transformers: Evangelion Prime Unit-01 is fully articulated and converts from robot to semi-truck mode. This is where things get more interesting, as Prime will come with some fun-themed accessories, such as a Cassius Axe, an Ion Gatling blaster, two Progressive Energy Knives, a Core Matrix, a back-mount unit, and holder parts. There is also a removable mask to show the beast from within being unleashed for Evangelion Prime, which is a super nice touch by Takara Tomy. This gorgeous Transformers collab is already up for pre-order at $84.99 and is set to release in October 2026.
