the face switching pics? dont think so. they appear to be "new" news on a number of sites. you should really let go of your anger towards the news staff guy.

I think he means the official pics.

Maybe so but we never posted it here.

every movie prime should have this gimmick or something similar

If you like movie4 leader Optimus - buy it. More power to you.

But to me, it's a clumsy, kibble-shackled mold that bears only a passing resemblance to the lithe, flexible CGI model they used for the movie. All the action sequences I saw showed Prime with a form-fitting, almost organic humanoid physique, that had extremely pliable armor plating. This toy? Nope.

Easy pass. Evasion Prime was the only no-brainer purchase of the lot, and that, only because it was so G1-friendly. So far the movie4 assortment has been a huge letdown.

Pray tell how they could make it more movie accurate? It's going to have back kibble no matter what. Or are you the type that's G1 or nothing?

Really, most of the Movie Generations are great, as is the Generations line in general.

agreed. as many others have pointed out, matching a toy to the actual movie model is damn near impossible. the silver knight prime from the movie has ZERO kibble. he cant conceivably transform into his iconic truck mode.

great? that's laughable.

these figures are awful. they're cheap feeling, they lack paint, they lack articulation, and they're tiny. so no, they're FAR from great.

you're telling me that, had hasbro put in more effort, the shoulder kibble couldn't have folded up neater? the waist panels couldn't have folded up more neatly? the fuel tanks on his back couldn't have been hidden somewhere?

see.. i believe they could've done all of that.. but no, not with a simplistic line like this, that would add too many steps.. cause, you know, that's way too many steps for a kid.. cause.. apparently there are tons of kids out there with $47 to purchase this thing.

the whole line has been a failure.. there are two main line bad guys TWO. the on screen dinobots aren't even close to being in scale and aren't even close to being colored correctly.. as for the main autobots.. if you want those figure colored correctly, you're going to have to pay extra. it's ridiculous.

Dude i couldnt agree with u more........this line has been the biggest bust in the movie lines. I wont get into my hatred for the movies cuz someone will freak out lol, but i agree with all the money hasbro charges for a damn smaller toy, u think they would have engineered it better........oh well thats why i didnt bother with any of the leaders etc, just the dinos, and those were hit and miss too

Takara's Silver Knight Optimus Prime

But those are different molds... the first is FE, and the other is based on the mainline Leader.
