Yeah, Prime's probably had enough by that point of the timeline with the trauma of having had so many close friends killed (some by his own beloved mentor figure, Sentinel) anyways and perhaps is what helped Quintessa turn him into Nemesis since his own resolve had been worn down so much. Maybe I just find him more relatable that way instead of a the optimist (heh) he was moreso in the cartoon (which he can afford to be in that Saturday Morning Cartoon land where nobody dies)
As a kid I had just assumed that part in the 1986 animated film where he turns up and starts blasting Decepticons was the same sorta actual warrior thing that so rarely appeared in the show or comics. I can't imagine he was simply trying to just wound them (even if some of them appeared later on just fine). He was certainly fighting Megatron to the bitter end.
I dunno. Maybe the "I'll kill you" line is a bit strong and strange but I'd rather that than the mopey Prime in some of the later Marvel stories. At least movie Prime gets the job done. No point him having all those cool guns and swords if not gonna use them properly to save us all from being wiped out by properly evil Decepticons.
that's just the way my weird low-intelligence mind perceives things anyway. Gimme more toys.

That would be fun to know because that trailer was grossly oversized for a deluxe.

That's the one. I used to own it but I got rid of it along many others in my great "local geek store" purge.
I also NEVER saw any Studio Series figures in store so that certainly won't help.

That's some stock photography excellence, Hasbro!
On another note, I received my Movie Advanced Revenge Optimus Prime earlier today. Wow, I forgot just how completely frustrating that figure is to transform. The sliders for the truck hood like to pop out of the arms. The windshield pieces like to pop out of their ball joints. Everything is a bitch to line up properly and snap in place. It took me almost 45 minutes to get the head tucked in all the way to get the arms to come together to form the nose of the truck cab. Then transforming back into robot mode, it takes supreme effort to get the head back out again. Don't even get me started on the Matrix of Leadership that doesn't snap at all securely onto it's peg in the chest. But damn, Optimus Prime sure looks gorgeous for a Voyager sized figure. I've not taken any pictures yet, for anyone curious, but the Battle Blades Optimus Prime mold is still just a hair shorter than Studio Series Starscream, so the scaling isn't thrown completely out of whack if you want to use a version of this Optimus Prime mold in your "premium" display instead of the new Studio Series version.

Leaked from Cybertron: check out the evolution of our Leader Class Movie 4 Grimlock.
Original wave has a less translucent orange blade (73461) while second release has a much more translucent blade (80171). Those codes are the stamped codes found on back of box.
So which one is considered the more accurate version?Va'al wrote:We have some more news for you hailing from the Transformers Studio Series toyline - specifically, the Optimus Prime figure in Voyager size class. According to site owner Seibertron, there appears to be a variant of the mold out at retail with some more accurately translucent orange 'battle blades' as seen in the fight scenes in the Transformers live action movies, especially with Revenge of the Fallen.

Take a look at your own Autobot leader, and let us know which version you have! Are you more interested in either of the two variants? Is this enough to make you double-dip? Join the conversation in the Energon Pub, and share your thoughts.images incoming

Actually, I think the less transparent version is more accurate

Luckily for those who have been unable to find him so far and fear they might not do so before TRU shuts its doors for good, Entertainment Earth has added a listing to their website for this very figure!
