Grand Patriot is a fictional character made by Xovergen as a third party Transformer. He is an homage to the 1984 Transformer Optimus Prime and the 1988 G.I. Joe vehicle Rolling Thunder.

Transformers

Grand Patroit was inspired by an unused concept creat by artist Don Figueroa as the Transformer Optimus Prime that turned into a G.I. Joe Rolling Thunder vehicle.[1] He was announced on the internet in 2010.[2] The toy was released in early 2011 in two colors, one resembling Generation 1 Optimus Prime and the other green like the Rolling Thunder.[3]

The comic book included with Grand Patriot described him as the commander of the Protectors.

Canadian toy company Corba Stickers released two sets of G.I. Joe/Autobot themed labels that work well with Grand Patriot.

Grand Patriot is not the only G.I. Joe theme third party Transformer. There has also been Snake and Power Rat. Other third party Transformers inspired by Optimus Prime include iGear's Faith Leader and Junkion Blacksmith's Justice Leader.
