New images of upcoming Platinum Age of Extinction Voyager Grimlock and Evasion Mode Optimus Prime

Yikes chrome hands for Optimus? Thats just as bad as the clown red hands they gave Platinum Ultra Magnus...oh well.

Hey can someone remind me the reference made towards OP gun and Megatron?

Chrome is great and all but why on Optimus' knee things? They have always looked awesome to me on his, now, old design but being this bright silver just looks awkward. They shoulda taken that chrome and put it on his thighs, to complete the look with his already-chromed crotch!

Ugh...

Was hoping for Platinum Edition but then we yet again get the chrome in all the wrong places. The tolerances on Optimus are so tight with the arm transformation that you could never transform him if you wanted to keep the chrome looking good. I was just hoping for an even more accurate G1 deco with a face shield and the arms/feet a different color. This is ridiculous!!

~reluctantyouth~

I may look for an Optimus faceplate head to substitute on my regular Evasion Mode Prime. I'm wondering if my Transformers Prime FE Optimus Prime head will fit on Evasion Prime body? Anybody else contemplating a head change?

Someone on eBay is already selling a modded Optimus Prime:

Chrome gone wrong, lol... Grimlock looks decent bit I'm not buying that figure until we see it in a Hasbro-released G1 scheme.

Galvatron's alt mode is sweet. Shame that he's just a shellformer. When you look at the bot mode (from the front), there are no elements of the alt mode visible.

LOL i just realized grimlock has dog ears, grimlock good little puppy. But anyway who decides where the chrome goes on these guys? the shoulders on prime look stupid & the hands are just a very bad idea cause its going to flake off from the gun being inserted repeatedly. The chrome does make these look better but still doesnt justify the price, id still rather just wait for a clearance to pick up prime & paint him my self. Thats if these ever show in my area, stopped by a few stores today to kill time & look for a charger for my phone & no one had any AoE stuff not eve a place for them. The walmarts are the only stores that have anything but its only leaders & the quick change guys. It pisses me off that the store still dont stock things cause it means ill never see any generations but im also glad cause hasbro wont be making any money in this area. Also didnt find the charger i need either

That seems to be the 'thing' with this line. No altmode parts visible in the robot mode.

It's awful.

So I am the only one who notices his giant alt mode backpack? And I have seen shots of the figure from the front and those alt mode panels are very visible.

They mean in the robot mode's design are there no vehicle parts visible. Little-to-nothing from the truck actually integrates into his body in robot mode, resulting in the outlandish backpack of truck kibble. The backpack isn't part of his robot mode body design, hence all the talk of the truck parts not being part of his robot mode body.

I just noticed that myself for the first time and they just don't look right!

Devil horns, not ears.
