I was looking through Ebay and found this:

Let me know what you think about this.

Something doesn't look right about it. He looked like he was going to be a lot bigger? Maybe it's just the way it was put in the box...

Sat Feb 02, 2008 9:56 am

and did you see this guy's other auctions?! Daaaang. How could he have gotten all of that?

EDIT: Oh, nvm, "Item location: ??, ??, China"

Maybe the one they shown on CNN was either a prototype or the third leader-class figure

Mayyybe, but that would still have to be a freaking deep box for him to fit in like that.

why is he facing that way in box?

Sat Feb 02, 2008 10:36 am

He does look a bit small for the box but remember he is only voyager class, look at the left side of the box it is written there. But i believe Megs is leader class. he is much larger than prime in the cartoon.

they should display the utobots in bot mode. Their alt modes don't have wings making the decpticons look huge.
Why is he facing that way?
I wish they gave him light blue and red lights.
And blacker windows.
hasbro used so much plastic for Prowl, but they use so little for Prime? :-x

but he's not my favorite character in the show, so I'm okay.

Just in, an auction appeared on ebay for the Voyager Class Animated Optimus Prime (Earth Mode) in the box. Pictures include the back of the box as well.

You may want to take a look at what else the seller has for sale, some cool things like PREMIUM deluxe Bumblebee, and Barricade, as well as, PREMIUM Voyager Blackout, and Walmart Exclusive Deluxe Movie Jolt are up as well.

Check out the seller's auction here.

Rather small, there's an awful lot of empty box in there

I'm just glad we now have proof that Voyager Prime is not the one we saw earlier. Should silence a few dissenters.

News Credits: 2 · Sat Feb 02, 2008 12:39 pm

Shame there is no firetruck trailer for him, even though it's in the show. =(

News Credits: 8 · Sat Feb 02, 2008 12:53 pm

They couldn't have found a bigger box huh?

You know on this show outside of the first episode he's just been a cab. He's blocked up so I can't tell if he comes with any type of atachments, but they realy should give him some.

It's not like there's no room to fit more stuff in there!?!

Oh, and for the $20 price mark on what looks to be a $10 sized figure, PASS on pricipal alone!

Not digging it. The vehicle mode looks bad, the axe doesn't look right, and I'm not sure what that arm cannon thing is about, but I'll need better images before making up my mind. Combine that with the colours (not digging the black) and I'll have to pass.

However, the other Earth Prime we saw looked much better.

Prime is one of the odd figures from this line. I hate how he was in the show but the toy looks pretty neat, probably get this one.

Also guys, he might be much bigger in robot mode like classics Prime (who also had lots of room in his box).

Which is another one that makes you wonder why not throw a little extra in there?

A little faction symbol like the 3 inch titanium guys have, something like that would make nice filler, and you know they have tons of them boxed up somewhere.

News Credits: 387 · Sat Feb 02, 2008 1:18 pm

Or better, a display stand like one you get with the 6 inch titaniums.

Maybe I didn’t mind classics prime being small because I only paid ten for him.

Or a weapon. I don't know, I'm just saying. It'd be much more useful than a crappy faction symbol.

They could just put the axe in its open position in the box. I'm sure that would look cool.

I think he looks pretty sweet.
I'm excited to get him.

Sat Feb 02, 2008 1:47 pm

I wish hasbro made his trailer bigger.
he sorta has it. except it's all squeezed up.
I like the deluxe Cybertron mode the most now.
The deluxe Earth mode isn't that great either, so i'll still get this guy. But he's really not show accurate compared to figures like Prowl that have lots of different clear plastic(red, blue, yellow, green while prime has... blue), a good alt mode(cab over truck doesn't need to have a cab that much over).

News Credits: 7 · Sat Feb 02, 2008 2:00 pm

If they release the deluxe Earth Mode alone without battle damage, that's the way I'll go. Otherwise, this guy looks pretty good...

Sat Feb 02, 2008 2:02 pm

Ill just get it when it comes out beside its a bit to early for him in my house but i think its cheaper for in store and more of a selection

Sat Feb 02, 2008 2:48 pm

there is allot of empty space in the box window but you look at the other voyager figures like bulkhead and its a repeated trend so I bet its just the box itself and not the the figure is small...
