I'm interested to see what Voyager Prime will end up looking like.

A large axe that has to be weilded two-handed I would assume, unlike some battle-axes that are smaller & can be weilded with one...something just a tad larger than a hatchet.ThunderZap wrote:what exactly is double handed axe?or should it be double headed axe?
Anyway, I would honestly have to say aside from movie protoform Prime, this has to be the worst alt mode he has ever had....I dunno if its the large single window or the fact that it looks like the cab was squished from the front & back, but it's just asthetically bad. Surely alien robots have some sense of taste....or perhaps retaliating from being made fun of is why he got dropped from the academy....
"Hey look, here comes the short bus....oh wait, it's just Optimus."
Also about Prime....why a noob? The noob's ascention to power angle's been done with Primal, & IIRC there was about 5 seasons of that between BW & BM. So so far we've got 2 seasons of G1 as a full-fledged leader(since he dies in the movie & only had guest appearences after that), 5 of up-&-comer, 3 of the Japanese style of "hey, look what this toy can do...oh yeah, he fights bad guys while doing super-poses, too." Why not let him be the battle-hardened unstoppable juggernaught champion with a heart of gold he ws in G1 again for awhile. I mean gee, it hasn't been done in what...20 years? In video format anyways.
Eh, I just want to see the true Prime personality in action.....& not have to go back & see the same 30-50 episodes he was in in G1 over & over to see it, either. That's kinda like missing your best friend & being told to go back & watch old movies of you interacting instead of actually meeting up with him to catch up.
.......I'll get off my soapbox now.......
edit, I just noticed after looking at the pics again, his axe is like single-handed one he has in the picture....it just extends & the blade splits & half swings around to make the larger battle axe.

Deluxe sucks for Prime.
And I wonder what his Earth mode will look like.
Can someone shed some light on it?
Thanks,
Dan

Boy, I wonder what that's all about.
And you know, how come Hasbro never bothered with Cybertronian modes for the G1 line? There's clearly a lot of potential for new toys there.
then it says in his "galactic powers and abilities" that he was trained at the autobot academy

and in G1 they only had one mode

I agree. I long for the days of the 80s packaging. Or the packaging from the JPN released toys with all that lovely styrofoam. That keeps the box from creasing and you can very easily redisplay the item.
