Voyager Optimus Prime or Leader Optimus Prime?

Postby buckeye99 » Tue Aug 14, 2007 11:43 am

Okay, I've decided to do exactly what I said I would not do... buy more than 2 Movie Transformers fig's.

I've decided to go ahead and get a Movie Optimus Prime but I'm torn as to which one to get. Is there a concensus about which one is more movie accurate or has a better overall presentation? Is the Leader fig worth $20 more than the Voyager fig?

I've also seen mentions of the Target exclusive Robovision, should I be considering this one over the other two?

Lastly, I don't know about anyone else, but I have not seen Voyager or Leader Prime available in any of the stores I shop at... are there more waves of these figs coming?

I have the voyager, but every other thread like this says go Leader class.

So go big!

They're both good in their own right, from what I hear. I have a Voyager Prime, and it's easily one of my favorite TF figures, simply because there really is no kibble at all, allowing for maximum fun and poseability potential.

Getting it accidentally for free doesn't hurt either. :grin:

I enjoy my leader Primes. Sure he's got some more stuff and a little blocky look on the arms, but he's got a great transformation and nice details. And he's big. I just wish he had a nifty gun like the Voyager. I'll get the voyager someday too, if I ever see it in a store, which I haven't.

And I'll be the first to say the inevitable... Voyager Prime's backpack. :cry:

I say go for the Leader Prime esp. if you can find him at Costco. I'm extremely pleased with him and with two free legends plus $5 off.

He's Optimus Prime, he has to be big, but if $$$ is an issue go voyager.

But if you have an extra Andrew Jackson, go for the Leader--Costco is your best bet from what I heard, because no leader class figs are back on shelves yet.

after having both, i like them both for various reasons. i would recommend getting both.
and i usually don't say that about the same toy/ several versions/ one line

my god, look at the swtf's: what is it 4 darth's at this point?

what's so bad about looking bulky? He looks more armoured than your Voyager, and if you don't like bulk than I guess Voyager, but I prefer Leader. 8)

i dont have either of them..i have the leader prime coming to me though in the next week or so. but i like leader because his scale is good..and the truck mode is awesome. rubber tires and looks pretty real. BUT, voyager prime in robot mode looks more like what u see in the movie. so, i guess to make this post short..i like them both..so get them both. forget having money. what good is money if you cant buy an optimus prime? lol

Voyager Prime is better in terms of posability and accuracy(especially if you paint him up a bit).

Leader Prime is a charming toy in his own right, but a little over-rated. My Robovision Prime has really grown on me, not sure I'll bother with the Leader now.

Because the bulk doesn't really suit the design aesthetic. I would rather the movie bots have been bulky, but if they're not going to be, we could at least get some accurate toys so we have a curiosity piece.
