Perhaps Japan sent him to hamper China's efforts? 
Nice!
I kind of wish that the Optimus was more "moon buggy" colored than his classic red and blue, but it's still a very cool figure. If that comes to the States in some way that's not overly expensive, I may have to pick that up.

Thats the one thing I'm not fond of, he looks almost like Optimus in Cosplay in robot mode, since you can see his regular looking chest under the rover window, and his red arms. If those were all white I'd like him about 20% more.
This is a great looking figure.
That's pretty cool. I'd be more interested if it was a new character, or really just not another Optimus, but what're ya gonna do.
So the story behind this is surprisingly interesting.

Takara actually helped design a transforming robot that's going to be being sent to the moon. This Prime doesn't turn into the same thing, but it is a celebration of that involvement.

This is pretty cool! I like it!
As I said elsewhere, this'd be the perfect job for Countdown, if anyone still cared about him.
I care about him. He's always been one of my favorite Micromasters.
We just got a new Countdown with Stege Omega Supreme, so it's not like he's lost down the memory hole.
I've always liked Countdown, but I have a thing for bases in general.
Thanks to Kamen Rider Fourze, I can't think about Japanese space exploration without this song popping into my head:
And he even more recently just got a new redeco with the Titan class Guardian Robot.
I'm not sure if Takara actually designed it? It seems that they either contributed some info and/or just sponsored the project, alongside Sony and some others?So the story behind this is surprisingly interesting.

However, Takara have seemed to have made a toy replica of the landing bot.
