We have some new images from the World Hobby Fair 2012 that features what appears to be a slightly redecoed (silver stripe and Autobot symbol on the upper left arm) and possibly remolded version of Transformers Prime Voyager class Optimus Prime. The figure is displayed with a new sword and shoulder mounted cannons that look as though they may transform themselves.
Also on display is the recently reported clear Firebolt, who was given away to children who participated in a poll. Images mirrored below.

Holy mother of F**k!
That is one badass Prime. And suddenly I'm not all that fussed any more that I missed out on Takara First Edition Prime.

Pretty cool, it really reminds me of the Rocket Launcher special Prime had in the DOTM game though, I wonder if it was inspired by that.

I'm pretty sure that's Takara FE Prime, it's just the Microns/Targetmasters are the different things.

The regular Takara First Edition definitely doesn't have that silver strip and Autobot symbol on the shoulder, so that much is for sure different. Not sure how those shoulder cannons are being held on.

The last picture says something about a secret weapon from Coro Coro (Koro Koro?) Comic. Wonder if it has anything to do with the Targetmaster in the picture.

That many weapons and it starts to push into ott territory. I only like such vast amounts of ordinance on Gundams. Maybe Frank Castle as well.

Looks like a custom job to me. That stripe and Autobot symbol just look like reprolabels, and the random weapons are added on from something else. But I could be wrong.

I think Blurrz is still kinda right, look at the close-up of the shoulder cannon in the last pic, the top single cannon has "things" sticking out of the side on the back, and they look like they have hands sculpted on.
Also that sword looks damn complicated with a couple of hinges. Could we be getting new target-masters for Prime?

Anyone noticed how takara used 2 Hasbro primes in that pic?
In the mid-transforming phase, the thighs and cab grill are light grey (Hasbro). While the transformed prime in bot/alt mode has blue thighs, and dark grey grills instead (Takara).
Just found that rather amusing that they are cheaping out on their displays.

This looks really great, but what I'm waiting to see is what Deluxe Bumblebee V2 is going to look like?
I've been holding off on ordering the Takara version of BB in hopes that will look better and get a domestic release.
