There have been sightings over at
TW2005 of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime DVD Edition. It should be stated though that the toy
does not come with a DVD, but has been released to tie in with the DVD re-release of the 1986 Movie.
No pictures have been posted thus far of the toy, and it should also be noted that a TFW2005 member who says he works for TRU Corporate has stated that the toy is
not out in TRU stores. So the confusion may continue for a little while before pictures surface. Stay tuned for an update to this news article later.

From
Transformers.com.
This special two-pack is available only at Costco beginning in early
September for a suggested retail price of $35.99. It includes
TRANSFORMERS CYBERTRON Leader Class OPTIMUS PRIME and Ultra Class WING
SABER along with a DVD of TRANSFORMERS CYBERTRON Episode 30: "United."
In this episode, OPTIMUS PRIME and WING SABER link to form Sonic Wing
Mode for the first time during the series.
During the desperate final battle to destroy UNICRON nearly ten
years ago, WING SABER and OPTIMUS PRIME became fast friends. It was
there, within the depths of the planet-sized UNICRON that they first
discovered their ability to combine into the powerful Sonic Wing Mode. Since then, the two warriors have grown apart. OPTIMUS PRIME
is a born leader, committed to leading the AUTOBOTS on CYBERTRON and
trying to build a new peace. He never quite got used to his friend's
cavalier attitude towards rules, but when WING SABER rejoined the
AUTOBOTS for the fight against GALVATRON, no one was more glad to see
him than OPTIMUS PRIME. Visit the Transformers Character Bios section
for more character details and technical data on OPTIMUS PRIME and WING
SABER.
Each character features lights and sounds and comes with a CYBER PLANET KEY that reveals hidden features.
