Based on what we know, what is the better optimus prime?

Leader class
pros
-fixes the mixmatched chest/limbs colors
-adds more detail
-better scale
-good overall as a standalone figure
cons
-STILL follows the wrong concept art (chest, feet, weapons)
-giant a$$ backpack
-more expensive

Voyager class
pros
-More compact backpack
-Actually follows the movie design
-less expensive
-movie-accurate weapons
cons
-bit small for scale
-lack of paint detail
-silver paint on chest, dark grey plastic for limbs
-really, really tiny shield.

So, whats your preference based off this information?

I'll stick with my AOE Leader Prime and hope we get a new one to better match Megatron later on. I'll get the Voyager version if they do a more accurate repaint with a silver head later. Considering how many times the AOE Voyager Prime got repainted (at least 10 between Hasbro and Takara) it seems likely to happen.

I'm going voyager. Looks better and i think scales better with the deluxes. And cheaper. I've been wanting a Voyager version of this design in aoe but they didn't have a proper one. My patience is paying off.

Go for voyager. If you want that leader for scale and are ready to pay that amount, I recomend you pay a bit more and get the Takara retool with the accurate sculpt.
