Official rulings
The 8 most recent official rulings for Optimus Prime, Hero // Optimus Prime, Autobot Leader, newest first.
- Similarly, an ability of another card that instructs you to "transform" one of these cards will cause you to convert it, even if that ability doesn't use the word "convert."
- The mana value of a converted permanent on the battlefield is equal to the mana value of the card's front face, no matter which face is up.
- While it's a creature, the Vehicle has its printed power and toughness.
- A spell cast this way enters the battlefield with its back face up.
- Any triggered ability of another card that triggers whenever a permanent transforms will also trigger whenever a permanent converts.
- "Living metal" means "As long as it's your turn, this permanent is an artifact creature in addition to its other types."
- The convert keyword action functions the same way as the transform keyword action found on some other cards; to convert a permanent on the battlefield, turn it over so that its other face is up.
- If a static ability of another permanent applies only to noncreature permanents, that ability applies to a Vehicle with living metal only during your opponents' turns. For example, if you control Arcee, Acrobatic Coupe and March of the Machines, Arcee will be a 2/2 artifact creature during your turn and a 3/3 artifact creature (because its mana value is 3) during each opponent's turn.
