New Colour Images of the Transformers Movie Optimus Prime from ToyFair

Postby Alex Kingdom » Fri Feb 09, 2007 12:04 pm

An interview with Hasbro Director of Marketing Greg Lombardo Regarding the New Movie toys. Featuring clear colour images of Prime. Personally I think he looks very reminisant of RID Prime, especially around the thigh area. There's something that looks really really wrong about this toy but I'm just not sure what it is.

Hmmm... I still like Ultimate Prime better. This guy's legs are just a little too short for me.

The more detailed one with the "smokestack" guns. I just call him that for lack of better name.

Yeah that one does look better, but they both look more like guys in masses of body armour rather than sentient robots don't you think? I quite like this toy, it look a lot like RID Prime who is one of my favourite Prime toys, however the crotch/waist area look a bit ****, and I'm not big fan of the head design.

Is it just me or does Prime look incredibly sad? Not "pathetic" sad but "he's gonna start crying and tell you stories about his dead robo-puppy for three hours" sad.

i think ak what your seeing that may be wrong is his legs look a little short and skinny with kibble, his arms look a little skinny, wereas his forearms are huge, and too long.

i still realy like him however.coun this as one of the movie garbage ill be getting



EDIT: also i dont think theyve finished transforming primes feet, since his toes arent flipped out, and are those minicin connenectors on top of his feet?

Pretty much agree 100%. RiD is one of my favorite Primes as a matter of fact, in both modes.

I think I'll hold out for other movie Prime versus this guy though. Waist and legs are just too "off" for me.

He looks much more 'organic' which is the look I think they were going for in this movie.
Looking for the Megatron gun (or just the stock) that came with 20th anniversary MP Optimus Prime.

I'll say this for him, excluding Alt Prime, he does have the most realistic alt-mode of any Prime ever. Its a pity his robot mode looks so......bizarre.

I like the design actually, but I can't get over the head. He just looks...I dunno...off. That's really my only gripe about these movie figs.

His upper and lower body halves don't match-up. Maybe if they'd given him some kind of loincloth-shaped decoration to conceal it it would look better, but as it is, meh.

The Voyager class Prime we saw a shot of earlier looks better in terms of proportions but they'll probably find a way to botch his alt mode. That, and the single image we've seen doesn't make it clear whether he has a left hand or whether his smokestack gun is his hand.

The Voyager Prime we saw, is better proportioned. Than this, he is too bulky and his chest looks nothing like the movie design chest. something is off. I have a feeling his transformation is not complete, Some panels need to be moved. and his fit definitely look unfinished. He has toes if I'm not mistaken, not just a big stump for a foot.

Not sure I'll pick him up. but alas, I'm already picking up so much of this line. I'm sure this guy will give my wallet a well deserved rest.

*EDIT* He's got opposable thumbs, and poseable finger sections apparently.

I think his "knee cap area" might be transformed wrong - the should stick up higher, I think. That would make the lower leg seem more proportionate. Also, his "toes" are missing, but I think they are there - just not flipped out.

edit - his toes are flipped out in another picture.

It gives me a real Powermaster Prime feel. That overly built up feel is there. The alt mode is great. I will wait until I see more pics though as I'd like him to be cleaner.

Hmmm... I still absolutely despise every single movie design I've seen so far, but I must admit... that Prime figure ain't bad at all...

Of course I'll like it less when those ridiculous toes are flapped out.
