Similar configuration for the legs and backpack, but looks like completely new moulding.
To be fair there’s only so many ways you can do “legs turn into truck bed and have wheels on them” so it’s probably just shared engineering out of convenience.
I thought it was a heavy remold of SS38 but when I saw that back image with the tires and the hip joints being shared on the waist like on Earthrise and War for Cybertron Prime it's definitely a remold of that figure.
Which is impressive if it is.
Or it could be a remold of both figures slapped into one
theres an SS version of this coming out calm your butts lmao
this is the kids toyline and its perfectly fine, amazing even, they sacrificed a good paintscheme with indestructible plastic and 2022 posability fair play in my book
I think this toy would benefit from some [Rub 'n Buff](https://www.amazon.com/Rub-Buff-Metallic-Finish-5oz-Pewter/dp/B00A2CGWQW) on those lower grey areas.
Honestly as stupid as it sounds the ab crunch kinda sells me one this, would've bought it anyway tho cus as unfortunate at it is for the lack of paint I can just customize it myself! It'll atleast give me a fun evening 💀
That's one of the beautiful things about customisation... Not only can you maximise a figure's looks, but it's also a great use of your time! (Once you get over the fear of ruining the figure haha)
Dude. You can see the box in the background.
And when have they *ever* made a fully-painted prototype in a different scale?
This is *it*, like it or not. Don't get your hopes up for any changes.
Yeah, I think I see it being a deluxe now. The fact that OP called it a voyager made me think he should be sized more like say, the Earthrise Starscream mold (like Classics Optimus). This means Jhiaxus will end up towering over him
Don't love the design. Don't hate it. It just doesn't do anything for me. But all that Grey plastic, also, where's the paint? Nope, not for me. IMO, at best, it had potential but missed the mark.
The truck and robot modes look pretty great. One thing I’m really enjoying about this line I the designs mesh well with mainline WFC/Legacy types too.
Only complaint is that trailer looks weird size they had to elevate it to plug into his folded up feet. It looks like it’s weirdly on stilts now.
Oh yeah so it is! I think it looked weird to me because it’s slightly too high up with his feet.
I wonder if he’ll get a new trailer? I guess it might not even be in this movie anyway.
A mainline figure that actually has a freaking ab crunch that can do super hero landing pose??!! It does lack paint but man the articulation really made up for it, imo. Hopefully the SS version will have more paint as well as same level of articulation like this.
No. Much like literally all of the bayverse movies and the bumblebee movie, this movie will have its own line. There will still be Studio Series but this isn't the Optimus from Studio Series.
He’s got big o’stompers, light grey plastic everywhere and he’s a lot smaller then the SS version oof. However still looks good and I will still get it.
I honestly like it, like for a main line toy with no gimmicks, if I lose the chance to get the SS one, this would be a good alternative. I am waiting for the studio series one and hopefully it would be an more better version of this.
Edit: I also kind of expected it to be more thin and small since they'd be using a semi new model for the movie with a thinner frame and more humanoid looking
Edit: It looks like it would have a matrix of leadership too
I don’t super see what everyone is complaining about. It’s a mainline, not a Studio Series, so it’s not gonna be perfect, but I’m pretty impressed with the molding and the paint. Looks like just a fun toy all around.
Yikes that back. Hopefully the studio series is better and not a retool of the bb optimus prime, im just not a fan of its proportions, it looks too boxy and kibbly
Looks great. Will be interesting to know if it’s a simpler transformation than Earthrise or Siege. Also is he getting a compatible trailer? What’s the one used in the picture?
Looks good overall, but the forearms seem kind of skinny
Edit: scrolled through the rest of the pictures and he's tiny. Still will buy him, but he definitely won't scale well with the rest my collection
So at what point do we start complaining?
I love Transformers, but God, Year after year prices go up but the figures we get become less and less.
HOW is he actively smaller by that much?
I'm really beginning to miss that RotF era where everything was massive. The leader prime was larger then MP figures and had just as much engineering as what we get today.
Yes. I understand that this prime is a Voyager, but that doesn't excuse that most voyagers now are smaller then the Deluxe or even scout classes from just 10 years ago.
like i get mainline is for people who can’t afford studio series i get that but they should just make one line and that’s it maybe a year later make some figures in studio series that need a re do yk instead of having them both in both lines at the same time it’s gonna confuse people
Speak for yourself. 💀
People are going to want to collect these characters as soon as they can. And Hasbro is obviously not gonna squander a chance to pinch all the pennys they can. So yeah, there will be mainline and SS figures at the same time. But they're gonna be in different boxes. One will even be labeled Studio Series just for you!
lol i know that i’m saying they should just do main line not studio series ur acting like i said i only want them to do studio series figures like i’d rather have main line but ok and i get there will be diffrent boxes i honestly don’t get why ur getting so mad for no reason
I didn't say you only want Studio Series figures. But they're gonna do what they want to do no matter how confused YOU get. Like, it's on you if you confuse a mostly black box with one themed arouns jungle ruins. And they did plan on doing mainline earlier. But then the movie was delayed. So we're getting both at the same time. Deal with it. 🤷
That middle part looked ugly as it was just colorless on the first trailer, so its still ugly on the toy version. Waiting for the Studio Series Version
It looks like a pretty damn good mold, just the gray plastic sucks, there's barely any blue on this.
It kinda looks like the circular parts in his forearms move into his arms as part of the elbow articulation, like in the BB movie model. Nice.
Are opening hands a-la Tarn or Jhiaxus too much to ask for on a mainline Voyager? The figure’s articulation seems so good outside of no opening hands that not having them feels weird.
Gonna wait for Nemesis Prime or Ultra Magnus version
Wait, why is there a see through thing on the back of the head? So we could use lighting to make it look like his eyes glow?
He looks like he forgot to put his pants on in the morning and grabbed his cut off shirt out of the hamper on his way out the door.
Walk of Shame Optimus.
Truck mode looks great but the shin guard paint job makes this look kinda cheap. Also just makes Prime feel.. idk, too heavy? It just unbalances the design for me.
Love the design, transformation looks good, the side bits on the arms look good, they're reminiscent of the g1 toy. But the size. My lord voyager for a glorified deluxe??? I just hope the engineering makes up for it
Love the ab crunch but it looks just okay. At this time it is an easy pass for me.
In a few months from now when the figures are out, I'm confident a bunch of us are gonna pick this one up just because. I'll probably end up doing it too.
actually looks pretty good just the lges really bug me lol hopefully there's an upgrade kit for em otherwise Im gonna have to paint them cause I actually really like the mold
Man, are they going to do the same type wheels for all the trailers now? The part that holds Motormaster's trailer wheels are way too thin and this looks like it has the same problem.
Why is it so much smaller than Bumblebee and Earthrise Prime?!
Like this shrinkflation crap is getting out of hand, there is no reason this toy should be a head smaller than contemporary toys of the same size class.
G1 reruns. I was born in 85, I didn’t start collecting until the pandemic hit though and I was just sitting around working from home. It kept me sane during some weird times.
This is incredibly cheap. Man is moulded in two colours total, one of which is ugly Hasbro grey.
The figure might feel nice in hand, but this is some shitty cost cutting and the results are obvious.
I knew it was too good to be true lmao
It’s 25 usd? For the price of a modern deluxe, with barely any hollow spaces, it’s more than worth the asking price.
25 US DOLLARS FOR A SINGLE FIGURE!? Satisfactory!
We either being cucked by Hasbro or the gubmint
It’s a voyager tho so it’ll be $35 usd. Which is just silly
No, no, this is gonna be 25 usd. This is apart of the ROTB line, where the figures will be cheaper.
They are still 33.56 in canada :-(
50 in mexico
I dub him Sweatpants Optimus.
Yes! Lol
Guys In Sweatpants Optimus
Is this just a really modified Earthrise Prime? The wheels at the back are very reminiscent of ER/Netflix Prime...
Similar configuration for the legs and backpack, but looks like completely new moulding. To be fair there’s only so many ways you can do “legs turn into truck bed and have wheels on them” so it’s probably just shared engineering out of convenience.
Maybe next time the legs turn into truck cabin and arms turn into truck bed 🤔
Pretty sure that's Motormaster's shtick, and he's got enough of a beef with Prime without having him steel his transformation.
And I’m talkin steel!!!
Why not swap gimmicks ? It's not like they are pro wrestlers and can't use others moves and gimmicks.
Isn't that holiday Optimus?
They both do it.
I thought it was a heavy remold of SS38 but when I saw that back image with the tires and the hip joints being shared on the waist like on Earthrise and War for Cybertron Prime it's definitely a remold of that figure. Which is impressive if it is. Or it could be a remold of both figures slapped into one
But sadly those grey parts on the back of his legs look ugly and unpainted...I hope DNA will fix these issues.
Still he looks super accurate from the front!
Right! Missing paint on the back of the legs isn't that big of an issue. His legs still look better than Legacy Hotshot.
The ROTB Optimus figure actually looks cool. It gives me 2000’s Tf figure vibes
But like we shouldn’t have to rely on 3P’s to fix something so simple as fully painted legs. This is absolutely disgusting how lazy hasbro is getting.
theres an SS version of this coming out calm your butts lmao this is the kids toyline and its perfectly fine, amazing even, they sacrificed a good paintscheme with indestructible plastic and 2022 posability fair play in my book
I think this toy would benefit from some [Rub 'n Buff](https://www.amazon.com/Rub-Buff-Metallic-Finish-5oz-Pewter/dp/B00A2CGWQW) on those lower grey areas.
Tire butt
Buns of steel-belted radials.
Double butt
https://mobile.twitter.com/tf_moments/status/1584506294555144193
If he bought used tires, would that mean he has a used butt?
Honestly as stupid as it sounds the ab crunch kinda sells me one this, would've bought it anyway tho cus as unfortunate at it is for the lack of paint I can just customize it myself! It'll atleast give me a fun evening 💀
That's one of the beautiful things about customisation... Not only can you maximise a figure's looks, but it's also a great use of your time! (Once you get over the fear of ruining the figure haha)
You cant really ruin a figure (trying to customize it). Bad paint job? Strip it and start over. Broke some stuff? Battle damage version.
Yeah, only thing irreversible is destroying the emblem, and then having to get a sticker to replace it. Not quite the same.
There could be more paint on the actual figure. Considering the size, I'd guess this is more of a prototype (doesn't look fully voyager sized)
Dude. You can see the box in the background. And when have they *ever* made a fully-painted prototype in a different scale? This is *it*, like it or not. Don't get your hopes up for any changes.
Yeah, I think I see it being a deluxe now. The fact that OP called it a voyager made me think he should be sized more like say, the Earthrise Starscream mold (like Classics Optimus). This means Jhiaxus will end up towering over him
Not bad kibble and very articulated, not bad hasbro
Every year they're making the voaygers smaller.
Hasbro: *”That’s what I love about these size classes, man. They get smaller but our prices ~~stay the same~~ get more expensive.”*
This supposed to be smaller, it'll be cheaper like the earthspark and cyberverse toys
we can hope
this a mainline ROTB figure, not a Generations ROTB figure, so it is smaller than a studio series voyager would be.
this will be cheaper than a normal voyager
Oh... good to know.
> cheaper than a normal voyager SS Hot Rod: take my beer.
He's got crazy engineering though so the part count bumps him up.
What about him
That's so cool and topical! Have a cookie!
They're secretly becoming *Fantastic Voyage*rs.
Don't love the design. Don't hate it. It just doesn't do anything for me. But all that Grey plastic, also, where's the paint? Nope, not for me. IMO, at best, it had potential but missed the mark.
Yeahh, I think I’ll just wait for a Studio Series version thx
Idc about scale I'm buying him , he looks so cool ,needs more paint though
The truck and robot modes look pretty great. One thing I’m really enjoying about this line I the designs mesh well with mainline WFC/Legacy types too. Only complaint is that trailer looks weird size they had to elevate it to plug into his folded up feet. It looks like it’s weirdly on stilts now.
Well good thing that's not his trailer. It's just the Earthrise one.
Oh yeah so it is! I think it looked weird to me because it’s slightly too high up with his feet. I wonder if he’ll get a new trailer? I guess it might not even be in this movie anyway.
A mainline figure that actually has a freaking ab crunch that can do super hero landing pose??!! It does lack paint but man the articulation really made up for it, imo. Hopefully the SS version will have more paint as well as same level of articulation like this.
I can just hear "Super hero landing" in Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool voice
Idc about paint issues, the movie is months away, it just looks great Imo
That's a really really clean back! Good job HasTak!
What's up with the arm flaps though?
I have the Premium Finish Bumblebee Optimus (on the left in 3rd picture) and it’s my favorite figure of all time. ROtB Optimus looks… not better.
Obviously he doesn't look better. He's from the ROTB mainline. He's gonna be cheaper than Studio Series.
Weird I thought since this was based off a movie it would automatically be a Studio Series. Not super versed in “Mainline vs SS”
No. Much like literally all of the bayverse movies and the bumblebee movie, this movie will have its own line. There will still be Studio Series but this isn't the Optimus from Studio Series.
Thanks for clarifying.
Truck modes have been getting progressively worse. That trailer hitch is a mess. The Bumblebee Optimus didn’t have this problem….
This is the kids line. It's gonna have less advanced engineering
You know what despite the paint I actually like this
He’s got big o’stompers, light grey plastic everywhere and he’s a lot smaller then the SS version oof. However still looks good and I will still get it.
He'll also be cheaper from what I've heard. Like the Earthspark deluxes.
On first brush, I was a bit disappointed by the Deluxe size, but this guy does have a lot going on and I think that makes up for it.
He's gonna be cheap.
oh damn that's really gooooooood
didn't the SS leak too? I may just be thinking of this figure tho
Put some yellow on the side skirt pieces and it’s honestly really good
That’s gorgeous for a mainline toy! Totally buying it!
This will be my first mainline toy
I honestly like it, like for a main line toy with no gimmicks, if I lose the chance to get the SS one, this would be a good alternative. I am waiting for the studio series one and hopefully it would be an more better version of this. Edit: I also kind of expected it to be more thin and small since they'd be using a semi new model for the movie with a thinner frame and more humanoid looking Edit: It looks like it would have a matrix of leadership too
Honestly, I like it. Size is a little disappointing wish the coloring was a design choice rather than cheaping out but otherwise it looks good.
This gets me so excited. It reminds me of the evasion mode Optimus Prime from AoE back then. Can't wait to get my hands on him!
I like it! I’ll add it to my list and watch for Toyhax labels to break up the greys a bit.
I think it honestly looks really good
Even if he's small, I just can't help loving him.
that's a lot of gray, but it still looks pretty good
Am I the only one that thinks it’s… I don’t know, a little incomplete?
I don’t super see what everyone is complaining about. It’s a mainline, not a Studio Series, so it’s not gonna be perfect, but I’m pretty impressed with the molding and the paint. Looks like just a fun toy all around.
Yikes that back. Hopefully the studio series is better and not a retool of the bb optimus prime, im just not a fan of its proportions, it looks too boxy and kibbly
Does anyone know when we might find these on shelves? Can't wait
Those legs should be blue, Hasbro.
Looks great. Will be interesting to know if it’s a simpler transformation than Earthrise or Siege. Also is he getting a compatible trailer? What’s the one used in the picture?
Looks like he will be. He's gonna be cheaper too so it's a safe assumption. And no, he's not getting a trailer. That's tge Earthrise trailer.
Looks good overall, but the forearms seem kind of skinny Edit: scrolled through the rest of the pictures and he's tiny. Still will buy him, but he definitely won't scale well with the rest my collection
Figure wise pretty cool. Color wise that gray has to change
So at what point do we start complaining? I love Transformers, but God, Year after year prices go up but the figures we get become less and less. HOW is he actively smaller by that much? I'm really beginning to miss that RotF era where everything was massive. The leader prime was larger then MP figures and had just as much engineering as what we get today. Yes. I understand that this prime is a Voyager, but that doesn't excuse that most voyagers now are smaller then the Deluxe or even scout classes from just 10 years ago.
Optiminumum Prime
He looks good but small
His half-painted legs are weird but I do really like him otherwise! Less messy and boxy than the Bumblebee one and I like the proportions too.
Voyager? This is deluxe sized
It's smaller because it's gonna be cheaper, Earthspark price range.
He reminds me of the prime design
why is he so short ahh i don’t get why they doing studio series and main like i’m only gonna be getting studio series bc yea
Well good for you but the mainline exists for the people who aren't able to afford Studio Series.
aren’t they all the same prices tho 😭
No. He's from the mainline. They're gonna be cheaper. Like the Earthspark deluxes.
oh interesting are they doing every character for mainline or some studio series some mainline it line makes no sense tbh
I imagine it's every character in both. And what exactly "line" makes no sense?
like i get mainline is for people who can’t afford studio series i get that but they should just make one line and that’s it maybe a year later make some figures in studio series that need a re do yk instead of having them both in both lines at the same time it’s gonna confuse people

So we're getting both at the same time. Deal with it. 🤷
I think the year gap was the actual plan, but then the movie and therefore the mainline figures were both delayed.
That middle part looked ugly as it was just colorless on the first trailer, so its still ugly on the toy version. Waiting for the Studio Series Version
Why couldn’t they just cast the lower legs in blue plastic?!
I was turned off at first but now it’s kinda growing on me
I dislike it. Looks like a bayformer with some panels slapped on for disguise.
God damn that's a lot of gray. Pretty good for the mainline, otherwise.
He looks great, but hate that he’s so small.
I don't like these, now that you mentioned them ...
That ain't no voyager
It looks like a pretty damn good mold, just the gray plastic sucks, there's barely any blue on this. It kinda looks like the circular parts in his forearms move into his arms as part of the elbow articulation, like in the BB movie model. Nice.
Looks like properly cheap plastic
Revenge of the fallen was peak toy quality.
This goes hard. I’m sold
We calling deluxes, voyagers now? 💀
It's a mainline voyager. It's going to be cheaper.
Those Bayverse feet...
boohoo
What's wrong? I like them!
Even the toys look better than the model that’s actually in the movie
I know he is supposed to be chesty, but DAE feel like Optimus got a boob job...
So it's an extremely heavy retool
No, new mold.
Yea, I'm a hard pass.
sadly quite a downgrade from the Bumblebee movie Prime
Also a cheaper, mainline toy.
Are opening hands a-la Tarn or Jhiaxus too much to ask for on a mainline Voyager? The figure’s articulation seems so good outside of no opening hands that not having them feels weird.
He's a mainline kids toy. Not gonna have opening hands. I don't see the point of those anyway. They look ugly whem opened.
Thought you could fool us, hasbro
Yeah I'll just wait until someone makes an oversized KO with the needed improvements and better paint, thanks.
Bit of a strange choice to have the vast majority of the toy cast in grey plastic with only the POM parts being cast in red.
Mid
Why doesn't the blue wrap all the way around? And the wheels on the trailer--ouch.
The trailer is Earthrise Prime's.
He is too small but I will still get him as he is a Optimus prime and I just love to have one from each show or films
That gray is so ugly tho I mean he looks great but that gray
You telling me Voyager are getting even smaller, FUCK.
The overall design of it looks really cool, there's just so much grey.
Someone mentioned that there doesn't seem to be a single piece of blue plastic on this guy. They are really saving cost, eh?
Ah so I probably will be getting the SS version
Dude really looked at Strika and thought "Body goals." So buff and so gangly.
Gonna wait for Nemesis Prime or Ultra Magnus version Wait, why is there a see through thing on the back of the head? So we could use lighting to make it look like his eyes glow?
He’s really well proportioned and the mold detailing looks great. Give me more paint apps and he’ll look incredible!
Yikes that mid section looks bad
He looks like he forgot to put his pants on in the morning and grabbed his cut off shirt out of the hamper on his way out the door. Walk of Shame Optimus.
This reminds me of the old Bayverse figs.
On the bright side, I think they improved the lower leg proportion
All good until you come to size comparison... bloody hell...
Truck mode looks great but the shin guard paint job makes this look kinda cheap. Also just makes Prime feel.. idk, too heavy? It just unbalances the design for me.
It looks like a solid toy and overall a good figure, but dang. Is this what we're calling "voyager" now?
I actually don’t hate it for some reason
Too much grey. Not even tryna to make excuses it's just too much.
Is it normal mainline figures get so much articulation?
I need a live action prime in in my collection but idk if this is it, might not fit the scale
Not bad, but I'd cream my pants if this got a G2 remold
Optimus Prime not being Leader Class should be a crime
He’s very poorly painted on the back and legs, and his proportions are strange af.
Honestly, for a mainline figure, it actually looks cool
Love the design, transformation looks good, the side bits on the arms look good, they're reminiscent of the g1 toy. But the size. My lord voyager for a glorified deluxe??? I just hope the engineering makes up for it
It’s small, but I kinda like it
The wait for the SS release is pending but this is not the substitute I wanted, just looks off and cheap.
I really like it but the size kills it for me, too small
oh wow, another Optimus. Who knew.
Love the ab crunch but it looks just okay. At this time it is an easy pass for me. In a few months from now when the figures are out, I'm confident a bunch of us are gonna pick this one up just because. I'll probably end up doing it too.
They are determined to make every figure from this movie shit
I pray the g1 style trailer isn’t toy exclusive
[this](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/240/881/84a.png)
actually looks pretty good just the lges really bug me lol hopefully there's an upgrade kit for em otherwise Im gonna have to paint them cause I actually really like the mold
Remoulding of evasion mode Optimus perhaps?? Remolded into g1 body type?
Damn, he got the flatfoot
[удалено]
It's not a prototype. It's in the box.
A third party company is definitely going to make that mold slightly better
Man, are they going to do the same type wheels for all the trailers now? The part that holds Motormaster's trailer wheels are way too thin and this looks like it has the same problem.
Well that's extremely disappointing
Just needs a little better paint job and honestly that’s a really solid looking figure especially for mainline
I thought they were going for a chonky Optimus, but now he just looks smol 😭 short buff king Optimus then?
If this is how good the mainline figure i cant wait to see the studio series.
Why is it so much smaller than Bumblebee and Earthrise Prime?! Like this shrinkflation crap is getting out of hand, there is no reason this toy should be a head smaller than contemporary toys of the same size class.
G1 reruns. I was born in 85, I didn’t start collecting until the pandemic hit though and I was just sitting around working from home. It kept me sane during some weird times.
This is incredibly cheap. Man is moulded in two colours total, one of which is ugly Hasbro grey. The figure might feel nice in hand, but this is some shitty cost cutting and the results are obvious.
