WARNING: Voice Changer variants
by MantaScorp » Sat Jun 02, 2007 11:19 am
Just so everyone knows, the Optimus prime voice changer has two versions: one features Peter Cullen's voice and other features a knock-off voice. The packaging is almost identical except that when looking at the packages, on the left side, the Peter Cullen one has a yellow sign that says "TRY ME! Feturing the REAL Movie Voice!" and the knock-off voice one says "TRY ME! Press buttons for Battle Phrases!"

I think all I saw today were the KO voices... I played it and asked PQP does this sound anything like Cullen to you? It didn't.

So, Blue Eyes = Real, Yellow Eyes = Not Real.
I'll have to remember that. I got the Darth Vader Voice Changer, and it was awesome. Now, I need PRIME.

Also, purely business for companies that want to make a quick buck off an existing product. In this case, some small-time company took Prime's Helmet from Hasbro, and edited it, so it was "Their" product.
MantaScorp, did you find the Hasbro Logo on the knock-off?

The inside of the Vader Helmet is HUGE. I didn't think it would ever fit, but it did.
The Prime Helmet should fit just as good.
Unless you're Godzilla.

You're made of win, Shadowman.
It's not retarded unless you bought one of the old ones and didn't keep the receipt, Noisy. Now you can get Optimus' REAL voice!

I certainly wouldn't call it a knockoff. Both are straight from Hasbro. Just one uses a different voice. What probably happened is they hadn't signed Cullen yet so they decided to just make the helmet with the Janitors voice. Then when Cullen did sign on they figured they might as well use Primes real voice and put new recordings on the chips. They certainly wouldn't recall a perfectly good product just because it's someone elses voice.

So the first helmet had a knock off VOICE, but it was not a knock off PRODUCT. Gotcha, Watchman!

Nightwatcher, you are 100% right. Most of these toys were probably produced months ago - if you listen, most of the toys which feature Optimus talking (the communicator, the cyber stomper, etc) have a fake Cullen voice which is laughably bad (like the 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Prime).
But both helments are legit and hasbro-produced.

You guys know that's Gary Chalk's voice right? It sucks, but that's who it is. Either that or it's 3 versions.
I'm looking for an MP-02 Magnus if you have one for sale, let me know.
