You've seen the video review, now see the high quality, perfect clarity, high definition gallery that only Seibertron.com can bring you: Voyager Class Evasion Mode Optimus Prime from Age Of Extinction!
Now, the first thing you may notice is the G1 deco and you might say "Isn't he a rusty white with flames in the movie?" Yes, he is. The deco is most likely just a nice nod to the G1 version of Optimus Prime for the 30th anniversary and the fans. You'll also notice the similarities of the truck alt mode to the G1 original's truck mode. (You can see the G1 figure's gallery here.)
Robot mode is where they really differ, however. For the longest time, HFTD Battle Blades Optimus was considered the best Voyager Class movie Optimus, until now. Evasion Mode Optimus is going to give Battle Blades a run for his money! Not only is the maskless face nicely detailed, but it's almost perfectly accurate to the CGI model.
Prime's Ion Cannon is actually Megatron's gun from Dark of the Moon. It is compatible with the DOTM Voyager Class Megatron figure thanks to the tabs on the side of the shotgun. (How cool is that?!) We've included several pictures at the end of this gallery showcasing Megatron using his own cannon.
Very poseable! Could be this generation's "Bendy" Optimus. ("Bendy" Optimus is a nickname given to Deluxe Class (Max-Con) Armada Optimus, which was the most poseable Optimus Prime figure up to that point. It was a game changer.)
We've included comparison shots with other Movie series Voyager Class figures in this gallery as well as Encore G1 Optimus Prime and Hasbro Masterpiece Optimus Prime.
Without further ado, here are the pictures! Click on any below to be taken to the full gallery:

As for who's the better representation on Movie Optimus, I like the Voyager DOTM mold best just for proportions.

The colours kill the bot mode. But I think it looks a nice mold.
Posted by Deathscythetransform on April 12th, 2014 @ 9:30am CDT
the voyager mold is a 1 000 000 000 times better thant the playskool leader class if you aske me. sure the lack of paint aps hurts it but hey, thats why they make sharpie crayons for !

Transformers Generations
Voyager Class
Series M4: #001
Would that mean we're getting a Series 4 and a Series M4 side by side?

I don't like the way he holds his gun, but if he's got 5mm hands you could give him any weapon you want. Heck, if you really wanted you could even give him the original Prime's blaster (although why you'd want to give him that piece of crap is beyond me...)

For that, I respect and like the minimal paint apps. The overall sculpt, as well as the head, are top notch. This figure definitely tugs at my G1 heartstrings, with just enough newness to balance it.
Aside from the slight misstep with handling the gun, I like this figure immensely and will buy it as soon as I see it, if indeed the distribution problems of old do not swing this way.
I swear, some fools just gotta bitch to hear themselves. But at the same time, when I hate something, I am vocal about it. Oh well. It's as good as bought for me.

Nice to hear some more positive comments on it. I think it's a fantastic figure. Needs a few more paint apps but other than that it is a fantastic representation of Movie Universe Optimus Prime.
As for the gun, I felt the same way until I realized that it was compatible with DOTM Megatron. Aside from some overly advanced system to hide the standard peg for Transformers to hold their weapons, I can't think of how else they could have done this. They more than made up for it in my opinion by making this gun backwards compatible with DOTM Megatron ... a figure that came out at retail 3 years ago. Kudos to the designers for making that happen!

Since the on-screen Dinobots seem to be plain metallic grey (going by the trailers and art) and the color choices evidently are arbitrary, I'm disappointed they didn't go for G2 colors.

I'd probably be sold on him already if he were Turquoise instead of copper.
Though blue looks pretty good...

And with Slag and Scorn really seeming to POP for me, I just think a little bright orange might make Grimmy over here "zing".
Don't.
So far, we got two AMAZING voyagers who are great looking in both modes and they also have an INTERESTING TRANSFORMATION.
As for the leaders, if AoI 1st Ed Optimus Prime gives any clues, the leaders will be 5 steps changing shellformers.
For this line, the VOYAGERS seem to be the "serious and traditional" TFs while the rest seem to be the toys for little kids.
As for the colors, I bet a couple of repaints of every molds will come out down the line. In the meantime, anone who wont buy any AoI voyagers will miss out greatly.

Hasbro has yet to reveal a toy version of the of the 2014 Concept Camaro for the Transformers: Age of Extinction toy line. For now enjoy our high quality comprehensive gallery of Deluxe High Octane Bumblebee by clicking any of the images or links below:

Well, I don't really want to collect too many of the movie toys. But I love setting up 2007 leader class Brawl with ROTF Optimus and Starscream, and sometimes I put Megatron in. I'm hoping Grimlock is at
least on par with Megs, who was decent except for not having a neck.
As for quality, I'd say AOE Optimus is damn near the level of 2007 Optimus.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on April 13th, 2014 @ 3:42pm CDT
Let's hope Leader Grimlock will be as awesome as the voyager.

I'm sold on Voyager Grimlock. After reading an in-hand review of the Leader Grimlock over at TFW2005 (I'm not a traitor, honest!), it made the Voyager look superior, but not enough for me to actually spend twenty bucks I could be using on Generatons: Thrilling 30, Collectors' Club, and/or Masterpiece figures.

If, and I say if that were to happen (which it definitely won't), I want a new head, new shoulders, and a better deco. Then I'll get this mold, but if not, I'm perfectly happy with my Classics Voyager. Then again, it could make a pretty decent custom Nemesis Prime...

Ironically, that's actually screen-accurate, since the CGI model seems to be a major case of "smoke and mirrors." In alt mode, he's still got the old Peterbilt parts on him, and yet transforms into a flatnose truck.
Then again, I can't say if the flatnose truck mode in AoE has one or two exhaust pipes.

*goes and Googles to see*
...Yes, he has one...

Might pick him up as a cheap practice subject for my airbrushing.

Like I said, at least he's screen-accurate.

This figure isn't too shabby IMHO, I'd pick him up, if not for the recycled engineering of the figure. (Arms, back, wings = DOTM Bee. Legs = ROTF Bee)
Posted by T-Macksimus on April 13th, 2014 @ 11:34pm CDT
I don't know, maybe I'll reserve the absolute final judgement for when I can see it in the store. Maybe...possibly I'll change my mind but so far I'm just not sold on this figure.

It's simple! So they can sell collectors a screen accurate version later down the road.

After taking a gander at this gallery, share your thoughts on this "rumbling, thundering war hammer on legs" in the Energon Pub!

Wow, they really shrunk the packaging. Is the toy itself any smaller?

It's a pretty standard deluxe class figure. Smaller than RTS Jazz but bigger than FOC Jazz. It's actually one of my favorites from this line so far. I would have liked if the tail detached from the arm but you can still get some pretty decent poses from it despite this flaw.

It's a knight's jousting helm. It's not supposed to have a mouthplate.
All in all, I really like the Dinobots thus far. I can't wait to own them.
