Hmm. I'm rethinking my preorder, here....

On the one hand, he looks awesome. On the other, I forgot we were receiving a Weaponizers size version. However...the Weaponizers have been really shoddy looking to me, I can't imagine he'd be much better. I know we saw pics of it, but I'm assuming that once he hits production, he'll be hardly better than Optimus and Bumblebee now.

I'm conflicted...I think I might just stick with the Voyager.

It was a larger scale figure, but we're not quite sure if it's a Weaponizer or the return of Supreme Class ( :PRAY:

).

Or Leader class, since Weaponizers have been simialr to but different from the typical Leader class figures we got during the Cybertron-DOTM era.

robot mode is dissapointing and the dragon mode looks worse then it did before.
HOWEVER i also just read for the first time about that "beast optimus prime" toy.
does this mean that for the first time a truck morphin' prime is going to pull a transmetal-esque evolution in the show, like how primal did in beast wars?
or is the toy only being made for the money?

He'll still be a truck, but with spikes and stuff. We saw a Cyberverse Leader figure last week. (A completely new mold)

We don't know if the Voyager will be a new mold, or modified like the Deluxe/Revealers are.

And yeah, being made for money.

I'm glad I didn't pre-order this, still going to wait for reviews.

Eh, it looks a little underwhelming, but maybe it'll get some more detailing as things go along. For now, I'm hedging on the leader being better.

I preordered him a while back and will be keeping it. I'm really digging the orange because it'll really pop on my TFP shelf. Also, I really like that the beast back appears to form the robot legs and the dragon legs are hidden (at least in the pic) in robot mode.

I'm curious to see the larger version too though, be it Supreme, Weaponizer, Leader, etc. If it's another good model that is different enough to justify (maybe even just by the size), then I might be getting both!

P.S. I believe I was the one who brought this to everyone's attention with my post earlier (http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/robot-mode-photo-of-transformers-prime-voyager-predaking-t91117.php). Could I possibly get a shout out for the news find too?! :grin:
