Transformers: Age of Extinction Optimus Prime In-Hand Image

it almost looks like a different toy maybe a different size

Not bad, not bad at all. I was a little concerned about Hasbro usage of paint and by the looks of this they might not be cheap with their paint app's for this line. That truck mode looks good, imo. But I think I see a blue side window.

If this is the leader class I can only hope that the voyager will be better.

After looking closer, I think these are pics of two different size class Optimus primes. Look at the shields, one is round like the CGI pics and one is a sheild gun. Either way, I'm looking forward mostly for the super coupes.

horrible no matter what class it is, and just like many others i too am sick of melee weapons.

These two physical copies look radically different. Just little things like the crotch armor, the weapons, the kibble. Either these are different toys, or the chrome one is a REALLY early prototype, or the stock photographers have topped their already impressive portfolio of mistransformation. We've frequently had different sized Optimuses before, so this might just be a voyager with a similar transformation. It also might be the case that we get a 'First Edition' sort of deal, with some AOE toys popping up in Thrilling 30. And then the main molds appear in a unique toyline.

what is problem with flames it takes away from him looking like blue block with wheels it gives him some character in truck mode, sowrd will of course look different from cgi version on eompire magazine cover wait for 3rd party to make sowrd screen acute or shapeways.

not excited about 4rth movie toys will keep checking them out in news section find out how much may progress in transformation show us some dinobot figures

Its a combination of two things: 1) Prime didnt have flames in G1 and 2) many people feel like flames aresomething that a younger, more reckless autobot would wear, like a tattoo or a piercing, and they feel that Optimus Prime would not wear aomething flashy like that. ( Have nothing against tats or piercings, its an example.)

Like an Autobot symbol?

haha! good point, but that's more a badge of office, or a military branch insignia. In some continuities the Rite Of Autobrand has to be completed before a Transformer is supposed to be allowed to wear the symbol.

(or y'know, it's his gang sign)

If you pain attention they are different! The first one that we have seen is a voyager. Now we are looking at the Leader class!
