If anyone can get a better copy of the story on the back, please post, I can't quite read it (damn old age setting in).

evac is cool but optimus is in the package wrong, his legs are sticking out.

Nice, Evac's a slight retool aswell!
He has hands & a real weapon now, Justice is impressed!

I wonder if they've fixed the automorph and leg issues for Evac.

I saw those two auctions last night. I still like EVAC and I'm not sold on Prime. The color scheme needs more blue.

Prime looks good to me surprisingly. I kind of like that paint scheme. I might get that one. Its about time I got myself a prime figure for my collection.

First Strike Optimus Prime
"When the AllSpark was destroyed, the war against the Decepticons ended in one stroke. Optimus Prime was bathed in the power of the shattered AllSpark. The gaps in his armor gleam with ancient energy, his eyes and voice pulse with power. He has become a living receptacle of the creative power of the AllSpark. Capable of healing - or destroying - with the mearest thought. Despite this, he remains dedicated to peace. As a symbol of this dedication, he has altered his exterior decorations to match the ones he bore as a young leader, before the beginning of the war."

Evac
"When EVAC received the transmission from OPTIMUS PRIME inviting the surviving AUTOBOTS to Earth, he knew he was needed there immediately. The final battle against MEGATRON could only have resulted in massive damage to the world, which meant that his skills would be critical. As a rescue specialist, EVAC has spent his life traveling from one disaster zone to the next, protecting and saving those he could. He is totally fearless, willing to risk anything to help his fellow sentient creatures."

Evac is becoming a maybe, I like that he isn't a strait repaint.

See Hasbro, alittle more that the bare minimum might just earn you another $20

Just got sold on Evac.

Looks like a good toy.

Meh, prime is okay.. Evac is awesome!! But if they do that paint application int he Leader class then i'll be impressed as it is, I may get them, I may not.. though for some reason this series is feeling more like G-1 again..lots of choices and supporting Characters.. my only hope is a few of them pop up in the next movie.. as they showed up here and there in G-1 like Brawn, etc..

hmmm, i'm warming up to the OP colors, might just get these 2 for my TFTM Autobot collection. i never got voyager Prime because i already have the leader class, but this version, i might get as it seems to have a back story all its own, considerably different from LC OP. and Evac looks great, a good homage to the Cybertron version.

:MAX:

Essentially he's Robo-Jesus...

Oh boy...'08 is gonna chew my wallet up.

Hm... I'm growing fond of the Prime's movie color scheme. I think I (dare I say i t) like Bay's choice.

by **Mandamus** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 3:20 pm

Evac is a pass for me. I'm sticking to my on-screen-characters-only rule.

I might get Prime for the Gee-Wuness of the alt mode. If so I'd keep it MISB since I don't like the bot mode.

Proof that Prime did not need the flames to look good.

If only Evac was not the Blackout mold I would be over him like Chicken Pox. But he is, so I won't.

prime really does look cool... i hate buying another though since i have the target robovision one

Website · by **STngAR** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 7:14 pm

Hmmmmmm... Evac is a definite for me, but I'm up in the air about prime. Already have voyager prime but I like the G1 colors better than my on fire one and I guess that 20 i have in my pocket has the Hasbro logo all over it #-o
