Posted by Mach May 3, 2011 at 10:12am CDT 60,300 views
HK-TF member LU has once again uploaded some high resolution images of upcoming figures, this time is Dark of the Moon series Deluxe Class Mech Tech Optimus Prime.

This is the first Deluxe Class mold of movie incarnation Optimus Prime (in Earth Mode) and LU has also made some size comparison with the Voyager Class Mech Tech Optimus Prime.

Hasbro, please hire this guy to take your pics. He apparently knows how to make them look cool.

I actually think this deluxe looks better than the voyager. Too bad neither of these are the base figure for Ultimate Prime.

Excellent photos, I agree. I didn't think either of these were worth a second glance, originally. I still won't buy them but now I don't think they're too bad.

Is it just me or is Prime starting to look like one of those little old grandpas that has his pants hiked up to damn near under his arm-pits? Seriously, these figures are nearly 3/4 leg. I don't know, it might just be me but it seems like the proportions are off compared to the 1st Movie figures.
Anyways, I'm liking this almost-Deluxe Class version more and more. Don't know why they couldn't have done this sooner...oh wait, that's right. They were busy raping our wallets with the 30 other variations in the larger size classes. Well, at least they finally got around to getting us one and since they have screwed up the size classifications I'm guessing that before this line is done we'll have have 3 or 4 Primes that can be considered Scout Class as well. Time for me to get a 3rd box for my Prime collection. The first 2 are nearly full and I'm definitely getting more before the year is done.

Holy ankle articulation Batman. Nice.

I agree completely. I also wish the two halves of the backpack containing the wheels folded in and the grill folded down over top of them. It would help make it a little more compact and a little less back heavy.

I wish this wasn't a WalMart exclusive. I don't really trust them.

I agree the photographer takes great shots, but thats all. But I am curious why this class, why do you think? :CON:

I think Hasbro said one of their goals is to have every major character available in every regular Size Class, meaning Deluxe, Voyager and Leader. So far we have:

Optimus Prime
Ironhide
Starscream

Megatron and Ratchet are one Class short (Deluxe and Leader respectively) to make it on the list. And Bumblebee still has Human Alliance for the Voyager size. And take note I said major, so no characters like Blackout or Bonecrusher.

Still liking it. Kinda warming up to the weapon. With a little orange paint it might look decent.

I hate the fact that whoever took these photos took the spring out of the Mechtech gun to make it appear that it can look into place. That's something hasbro does.

Only thing I don't like about this figure (aside from the obvious backpack gripes) are his arms. They're molded entirely in gray plastic, and the ONLY piece on them that's actually blue is the cab guard, which is the only piece that actually SHOULD be gray/silver. The shoulders also don't look right at all either, but they're not so bad.

I noticed the proportion change back when the video game trailer/tease was released. Longer, or at least thinner legs so they appear longer, legs appears to be part of the changes made for the new film. :S

The torso looks fantastic. Way better than both voyager and ultimate. The abs look more movie accurte than the voyager and the chest is angled unlike ultimate. All that is missing is the side door panels that overlap the chest.

They look better when the blue pieces rest on his shoulders rather than turned up like how they are in the pictures.

As for his arms, thats nothing a little paint doesn't fix.

This looks really well-engineered. Too bad it's just.. I dunno, I really don't see any point of having a smaller Movie Prime when I've already got '07 Leader, ROTF Leader.. and then DOTM Jetwing. Then again, it'll be uber cheap.

Movie Prime has always had long slender legs and long arms, the 07 movie toys just always got it wrong.

It's also uber crappy.

I've come to the decision that while I may understand the why of how product is coming out, I will not allow that to deflect criticism of crappy Transformers toys.

I actually really like this movie Prime. This may be the only TF3 figure I buy.

Mine :twisted: In my Deluxe-sized Prime and Megatron shelf he goes next to Protoform Prime. To battle him: Deluxe Starscream
