User L-U over at HK-TF.com has posted an extensive look at Reveal The Shield Deluxe G2 Optimus Prime. This figure is an updated version of the Generation 2 Laser Optimus Prime with a little of Movie Prime's flames thrown in. The pictures show the transformation from vehicle mode to robot mode. It also seems that this figure is very posable and is capable of some great poses. Check out the full thread here.

I can't wait for this figure. He looks fantastic!

I don't really get all the hate this figured has garnered. The color scheme could be better, but the articulation makes it a winner in my book.

Okay, I never hated this figure, but I was definitely on the fence in terms of whether or not I'd like it enough to buy it. Well, consider me sold, and sign me up for at least three....

I don't hate the figure but I realy don't like it and I save the money for some other future figures

I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!

I think w/ every new set of pics I see, I'm starting to like it more. Color scheme ain't too bad; posability is definately superb. I like OP having a sword too. Haven't been any sword-barers in these new lines. Now off to fight Skelato-- I mean Megatron

I can understand how the retro design would appeal to fans of the G2 figures, but on a purely aesthetic basis, I think it's a really ugly figure. Of course, that's what G2 was all about: making the figures as ugly as possible.

Ehhh, doesn't he look like some random products in Armada? It's a pass for me.

I don't hate it, but I already have too many Primes.

Maybe when the Scourge repaint comes out, I'll grab it.

He's nice and all. I just wish they had upped him to a voyager. Not that it's a deal breaker, I just wish I could see what the added scale and complexity would have looked like.

im ok with the figure, not so much with the paint scheme. ill wait for the repaint.

I like the mold, REALLY don't like the black hood, blue doors and roof thing. Have we seen a confirmed picture of what the Takara United version is going to look like?

I can't wait! It looks fantastic. I love the light piping in the forhead and I'm not even a big fan of light piping.

My only gripe is that the shoulders aren't independent from the missle boxes. Far from a real complaint, but it would have been nice

Well, look at you being all sexy.

Now only haters are gonna hate.

I agree, but I personally don't think we're going to see many more voyagers for Classics/Generations/Reveal the Shield/Etc.. I'd prefer that he be in a larger scale, the same way that Galvatron and Thunderwing should have been.

AAAAAH!

Dang it, dang it, dang it!

I was so determined to buy RiD Scourge. But look at this mold! The color scheme is awful, but we all know it's going to be redone in black, and when that happens, it will be more awesome than anything, ever! And just like Hot Shot, any motivation to buy the original will be gone!

Dang it! :BANG_HEAD:

(I'd be a lot more comfortable if they did Toxitron instead, but really, how likely is that?)

That's just how haters do. Haters gonna hate.

In two years when the mould is outta circulation then it could be very likely.

I like it. Don't have enough Primes in my collection.

by **synthetik** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 11:01 am

Black, pink blade, no flames.

I can see it now. Maybe fansproject trailer will be made to go with it too...

Mmm

by **Shadowstream** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 11:35 am

This may be a bit of a quick judgment call, but it looks like the hitch design may possibly be able to connect to the old G2 mold's trailer? Can anyone say anything about this?
