Yizhi512 of TF08.net has kindly provided us with images of two figures that we reported on earlier. They are Jetpower Optimus Prime and Voyager Megatron. No additional information can be provided other than what is in the previous news post, however we'll remind you here too. Jetpower Optimus Prime looks to essentially be a one-piece Transformer, being the combined mode of Jetfire and Optimus Prime. Optimus can tow Jetfire in alternate mode. No class size is designated. Megatron is simply a darker, more movie-accurate repaint of the Voyager class toy, which was begging for a repaint in it's original green colours. Check out the pictures below.

That looks like Voyager Prime, judging by what I can make out.
Interesting I knew I was right waiting before I went out and bought Voyager Megatron.

You are correct sir.

I've used Windows 7's magnifier (seems to work far better than previous versions, I'd say), and took a screen shot. (See below for more better details)

And now that I know it's the Voyager, this is a definite pass.

EDIT: I thought folks might like to see a larger image of Megatron, I've included it as well.

No, Jetfire's corpse* turns into a weapons platform for Optimus to use when not combined, or towing.**

*= That's really what it is.

**= What a creepy gimmick. Hauling pieces of a corpse around like a wagon? Eww.

I like my green voyager Megs that I have already, I was really hoping for a retooled leader class. As for the voyager Primefire, I don't have a single voyager prime because it just doesn't appeal to me, the Jetfire kibble looks to be even less accurate than the current leader combination we have.

PASS.

I wouldn't question him, or he might do the same to you. That's just the way Prime rolls.

Hmm, I might go for that Prime combo. I have the Robovision Optimus from TF1, but I've been resisting the current ROTF Voyager Optimus. If this new one is indeed darker, like the Voy that's out now, I'll buy it. I'll get my darker Prime and Jetfire parts to boot.

I might get that Meg repaint, too, love the silver/gray over the green.

You're missing out on a decent TF if you pass on voyager Prime. Especially since there are 50 color variations to choose from.

While he is a bit of a shell-former with the hood/backpack, it is still a pretty cool toy. Walmart & Target occasionally have the voyagers for super discounted prices, like 10 or 12 bucks. I'd recommend it if you don't already have the mold.

Optimus Prime is one sick SOB

They both look like they're the voyager molds. Prime just has this enormous growth on his back.

News Credits: 4 · by **Megazarak** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 11:06 am

Happy about the Megatron, since the mold looks pretty good but the colours were all screwed up. Leader Class Shadow Command Megs would be pretty cool if they only gave him a nice elbow joint and a not so puny arm.

As for the Prime, it could look cool. I'm looking forward to seeing some better quality images. It's hard to tell how accurate or at least good it looks compared to his movie self. The combination in the Leader molds is alright, but doesn't look that great. I assume that a figure where the gimmick is the combination will get it right.

Edit: Here are some clearer pics. Credit goes to Tformers.

Not so sure about Prime anymore, as he looks like a voyager Prime (which is cool) with at least one sword, and a big piece of dead Jetfire. The combination doesn't look that great, but if the price is still Voyager I'll get it for sure.

I've been holding off on the Voyager Megatron, but with the new repaint, I might have to pick him up. I already have a Voyager Prime, so I wo't be getting that one.

News Credits: 198 · by **DevastaTTor** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 11:26 am

Might actually get one or both of these depending on the final look of them. At first, I thought the voyager repaint idea was lame, but since I have neither, this would be a nice way to display them given my display space limitations.

by **Cobalt Prime** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 11:35 am

I actually like the idea of this. Having only one of the Voyager Ops from the 07 movie, I would like to have a version that's retooled or accessorized to represent the combined Jet Op mode. I like to display LC Jetfire and Op seperately, and have no interest in the "Power Stomper" version, so a sleek VC of that mode is welcome.
I only hope it looks decent...hard to tell for sure with the tiny pics, but I'm sure better images are coming real soon.

News Credits: 4 · by **Megazarak** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 11:42 am

Hm, just noticed that these images don't mention the RotF name, but instead say "Unite for the Universe" under the movie Transformers logo. Maybe this in a sub line (though the name would probably change if it came here) along with Battle-Ops Bee. I don't think that this Prime would have a Voyager Price, and the Bumblebee seems a bit bigger than Voyager, so maybe they'll bring back the Ultra Price for these guys.

News Credits: 1452 · by **Blurrz** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 11:44 am

I don't think that's exactly Voyager Prime.. since that class size doesn't have... the blade! (Thanks for the rest of the bigger pics guys)

Why does hasbro keep waisting money on these damn voyager prime repaints

and no ones heard any news about leader starscream yet?
i mean we heard of shadow command megatron way later the leader ss and megatron is still out before him

Could this possibly mean Voyager Jetfire?!

...I wouldn't count on it.

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 12:07 pm

Yeah, that's definitely Voyager Prime. Darn, not too interested now, but at least that saves me some money. I'm probably going to have to import that Megatron, however.

Unite for the Universe may be the Robot Masters style line in Japan...

There is no voyager Jetfire...yet anyway.

And as was already confirmed this Jetfire is really only jet parts with no robot mode, and a really ugly looking jet mode if that's what that is.

Other than that, yes this looks to be a retooled Voyager Prime to accommodate a blade in the arm.
Looking at my "First Strike OP" from the last movie it looks like there's just enough room under the truck for a very flat blade there.

Bur yeah it is definitely Voyager Prime. The feet, and the shape of the sleeper in truck mode are dead giveaways.

Looks fairly interesting. I may want to pick it up if it makes it to this side of the world. Don't think I'd want to pay import prices for it.

Since its a voyager class figure plus a voyager sized backpack I'd say this would in fact retail as a Leader Class figure.
