Takara Tomy AD31 Silver Knight Optimus Prime face changing gimmick

Definitely worth picking up. I still have no use for those accessories, however. I'll be keeping the original's gun/shield and I'll be ordering a Dr. Wu sword because that one's UGLY. UGALEE.

The figure looks great.

Too bad it didn't come with alternate head(s) and or some power ups that would make Armada leader class Optimus Prime jealous

But I will keep quiet a little and not complain

Takara's Silver Knight Optimus Prime

I actually like both versions a lot; for different reasons. If Hasbro's version was cheaper I would have picked it up already. Any idea for price comparison's sake between these two?

Online Retailer Amiami has posted Official Images of Takara Tomy AD31 Silver Knight Optimus Prime. These images show Optimus in both robot and alt modes, his different faces and his Weapons. Check out the images we've mirrored below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

These images were already released some time ago.

$80? Thats it?? Man I hope these dont sell out before christmas. It looks great.

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.
