Who wants another Voyager Optimus Prime version???

If you answered, "I DO! I DO!" to this question, this Optimus is made for you.

Or maybe you think your deluxe Final Battle Jazz, and Battle Damaged Concept Bumblebee (Target Two Pack) need a Battle Damaged leader to guide them. Well, he's been found!

Here's the auction for the new toy.

And also the seller has a gallery that you can see here.

When we have more news about this variation, we'll up date you here in the Seibertron.com toy news!

Sheesh. I'd settle for seeing at least 1 voyager. I'm getting to the point where I'll grab one now and want of of the 100 others that come out later. lol.

I'll admit, not looking too bad for a movie Prime.

So wait, is this a custom or mass release?

Either way, I'm not to intrested and this guy should be shot for his shipping rates. Unless he packs his items in gold, mailing this and a box should only be $9 realisticy. I just sent a 7lbs box out yesterday and it wasn't even $10

Hah, no worries, mine wasn't exactly in a news-friendly format. I just saw it over at Tformers.com and figured we heard about it awhile ago. They mirrored the gallery too, so I got the same news through a different avenue. :lol:

As the photobucket account is called "heeromaker" I reckon that this is probably a custom

Says Prototype in the auction, and in his description. Even if English is not this seller's first language, don't you think he would have said, "My custom BD Prime..."?

It seems like he would to me, or it's an auction that needs to be described more accurately.

Judging from the crappy paint job, it looks like it could be official.

I doubt your 7lb box was sent oversea.

Yeah, it just looks like it's dirty with oil all over it. I said this before and i'll say it again, when they make battle damaged Transformers, they need to re-mold at least 2 or 3 parts with cracks and holes in the armor where you can see some inner workings(ie. wires, broken hydraulics, crushed skeletal structure), and maybe some bullet or laser holes. Do somthing besides just repainting some of the detail off of the figure, know what i mean.

Well, that's what they did with Jazz, he got a few remolded parts.

Yeah but thats overseas, with an all around upgrade!

This guy is domestic, it's a big difference. I hate when Ebayer's try and make a further buck off inflatted shipping :-x

I've sold on Ebay plenty of times, miscalculated shipping and never once asked for money, and on a couple of occasions sent the difference back.

And by the way, yes that is your box I shipped :grin:

And PS, your a dam good guy, but Evil people don't like being called swell :P

I misread and thought it was domestic, I stand corrected.

Honestly, it looks more like someone took Prime off-roading in mud as opposed to battle-damaged. If you look at it that way, it actually doesn't look bad...otherwise, meh.

yeah I remember seeing that this was coming out, I think I'll pass, I'm not big on the battle damaged stuff, I like my transformers to look clean as if they were just about o go into battle. not what thy look like after.. Even rocky showered and rested up before he publicly came back...

WTF!!! why is it all these darn variants have to be the Voyager Prime anyways!!! it's cheaper??

Can we just get a super metal finish, G-1 Prime repaint already!!!

Blech.

Hasbro need to go have a look in our Kitbash forum to see what Battle Damage should look like.

I thought the Target Exclusive Robovision Prime was supposed to have 'super-metallic finish'?
