Just got him from Hong Kong. I will do my best to post a gallery of this figure tonight or tomorrow. The truck mode looks phenomenal! Unfortunately, the truck mode isn't to scale with Ratchet and Ironhide, which is OK since I imagine the Leader class figure will be ... I was kind of expecting it to not be in scale. Man this thing looks cool.

If you haven't seen any pictures of this figure yet, you can view the news from last Friday here:

im digging the look of the voyager over the look of the leader class. cant wait for the new gallery~

He's not MIB is he? Because I hope the one we saw isn't the final version, he's really really under-painted, to the point that I just don't like the figure at all.

All that bland grey in bot mode, especially on the arms, makes him look horrible, and ruins the figure for me.

Not to scale.. Crap.. I like the way the voyager class looks over the leader class..

You know, I buy just about every figure released.

I don't think I'm going to buy any movie figures for a long while.

Movie toys are almost always over produced. I have a very strong suspicion that I will be able to bag nearly the entire line at clearance or discount come November or December.

I just can't imagine a shortage with these figures.

Just finished taking pics of this ... working on cropping the images right now.

Besides the buying nearly enerything, same here. Nevermind the fact that I really only want a big Prime and Megs for the movie figs. Maybe some of the real gear guys. I do love the Peter Cullen driver though. How awesome is that?!!

Speaking of size classes....

There's Basic, Deluxe, Voyager, Leader Class, Ultimate.
Any chance of an Ultra size?

I think Starscream would be fantastic (along with Brawl) in Ultra.

I prefer Megatron Leader class (from the pics I have seen), but I prefer Voyager Prime. I can't wait to see this gallery Ryan. Damn I am excited about the entire movie line!

Many thanks, Ryan!

This Prime looks awesome and a little complicated. I actually like the backpack with cannons. Looks like the best Prime since MP-01.

Awsome gallery. I can not wait for the Movie toys to start hitting shelves.

Wow, just wow. I can't wait for this to come out. Looks like it may become one of my favorite Primes.

That thing looks cool!! I noticed one thing, he has no waist! I see he is poseable, but no waist. This bad boy looks great. So why not have a waist? I hope the leader class does not have this problem.

I like that his hands are not the standard peg holes. They put alot of thought into it. Lots of detail. Why no waist? :???:

I will get this. Thanks Seibertron for another great gallery!!!

Hmm...No sir, I don't like it!

Optimus Prime - Leader Class
OP - Voyager Class
OP - Protoform
OP - Fast Action Battlers

God I hate these movie toys with a passion.

This is an acceptable long nose cab Optimus Prime:

This is NOT, this is crap:

Posted: **Sat Apr 07, 2007 7:29 am**

I think its awsome, just wish he didnt have so much junk hanging off his back, i cant believe he can actually stand.
