Carded Transformers Animated Cybertron Mode Optimus Prime on eBay

Front Paged and Credited.

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

There have been too many of these shown on the Net and no sign of the voyager Earth mode figure. When are we gonna see some decent pics of THAT figure?

Prime still looks like Mr Freeze to me and not very likeable, not to mention that packaging looks like one of those 1 buck cheapo robots.

Still not interested in toon-town Optimus Prime.

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.

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.

I'm liking these toys more and more, I'm digging the Lumberjack look.

I can't be bothered to read every fact about TFs Animated, but is there actually any confirmation that there will be an Earth mode of these toys and also, Voyager Class figures or even Leader Class?

Deluxe sucks for Prime.

And I wonder what his Earth mode will look like.

Can someone shed some light on it?

Thanks,

Dan

wow can u say rip off and his motto sucks too

Ugh, a young leader? They make him sound like a boy scout, the only time a young leader was EVER good was with Beast wars neo, Big Convoy was the best Convoy/Prime ever made, this thing is horrible.

maybe voyager prime has a removable face plate to keep everybody happy?? laugh it up, I said maybe, i like evidence as much as the next guy.

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

No leader Class for animated.
But we are gettting a voyeger prime.

I can't stop laughing when I look at that Primes box... Brave Woodcutter Prime...

I also suffer from "the more I see the worse it gets" syndrome. I mean, the movie Cyber Slammers look more serious than these...if they had shorter chins, I might have been sold.

you know the whole bubble wrapped packaging thing sucks.. and the twistie ties.. geez!! these days you have to have the jaws of life to pry a simple toy from the packaging..

Not worth that kind of money!

I dig this very much!

I loved Teen Titans, I reckon I'll enjoy these new TFs.

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.

time to make me some room because
me thinks im gonna need it
Transformers Animated hurry up and
get on my tv me missing new transformers
cartoons

My problem with the toys is that they wont be on the shelves in 6 months but yet they poppin on ebay like crazy like their already ready 2 shipped 2 the stores but hasbro got a lock and chain on the warehouses until then..............

even tho some ppl that either work at the factoriesor jus have access 2 them is sellin them like its nuthin

its a good thing that these didnt come out for christmas because they probally would have been sold out everywhere i mean look at the movie toys they are going like hot cakes where i live.

. . .Ewww. . .Looks like I'm gonna have a lot of spare cash for the upcoming year.

I really don't like the new look of the backer cards

It looks as if these should be 4th of July Transformers

Have we seen any color pictures of the Voyager class toy yet? I've only seen the uncolored one here.

That seller is crazy he wants 180 bucks for a mere 10 - 20 dollar toy that is coming out next month. I don't even find the toy appealing at all. It makes me appreciate my original g1 or mp Optimus Prime even more.

Is there an Earth mode for Optimus Prime as well? Sorry for this simple question, I haven't been following this line very closely.

I.ve said my piece on Animated, so I'm just gonna ask why someone would pay $210 for a $10 figure that'll be out soon enough all over the place?

Just look a few posts above yours.
Someone posted the prototype pics that were at bot-con/comic-con

Although I don't think the voyeger prime will be in wave 1.

Am I the only one that thinks the toy looks like it's made out of the cheapest plastic possible? The quality of some of these toys, and the packaging especially, is atrocious. The G1 boxes were much better (and in some cases, the best).

FYI--These are not supposed to be in stores until June, so it's about 6 months before we can buy one for $10.

I like the Cybertron alt mode. It is very new, while it does not really suggest a function, it does have room for a trailer to be attached, so he could be a manual laborer.

I like it.

I've noticed that there arn't any tech specs for these Animated figures.

Primes seem to collect themselves around here. I didn't realize how many I had 'til I was cleaning the other day.

So... probably going to end up with this one too. I'm liking the Animated figures so far. They look friendly.

Well, IIRC these TFs are supposed to be more akin to superheores than soldiers, so while military stuff would be classified by technical specifications such as weight, measurments, & ammunition load, rate of fire, etc.... superheroes are usually classified simply by what super powers they have.

The voyager class of Prime better have a face plate.

Tech Specs are the list of numbers on a back card of the Transformers, from 1 to 10, on their Strength, Intelligence, Speed, Endurance, etc. MOST Transformers have them. He means so far all Animated toys seem to lack these.

My jury is still out on the animated figures, I might get this one, as it would make a good Orion Pax.

If these are already being produced, remind me again why we have to wait six months for their release...?

I am willing to bet we see these on the shelves before the year is over...

i have 2 questions 1.how did this ebay member get this prime and 2.isnt these toys delayed till june

Yes, I am quite aware of what Transformer tech specs are, having a collection of over 600 of them. My point was these are not meant to be soldiers, therefore they aren't catorogized in the same manner as other TFs but rather like superheroes, who are catorogized by special abilities alone, so their ability list is their tech specs.

Personally, I can't wait for this line to come out. I'm probably in the minority on this, but, I plan to be a completionist with this line.

I have a new Nephew my sister adopted, and he is a big time Transformer fan..infact most of his best english is when he says the names of the different TF's so these will be perfect for his little hands.

And that, right there folks, is why Animated's toy line is a good thing. They're going back to the core audience with it and it's designed for them. Because of that, I can't count this as loss, but as a chance to take a break from having to buy figures for a while.

It's about time TFs went back to the kids.

Oh and adopted nephew? Your sister friggin' rocks man. She's a hero.

Thanks, she is a cool sister and yeah I agree, these are great for the little kids.

I also kinda doubt this will be the last cartoon line from TF's. I bet we see other series down the road where the figures are not as child like. That just means it gives the people who don't like this line...the chance to keep building on the collectiona they still need to finish off, weather it be G1, TFTM, RID or what ever line people like to collect the most.

Since when? Ever played ay hero RPG? Marvel Super Heroes, Gurps Supers, Champions, Superbabes? Pleanty of stats in those

My take on their lack of tech spec numbers is this line of toon-town-transformers is aimed at 8 year olds, and the people at Hasbro think pretty color pictures are worth more than boring numbers to the kiddies.

I agree with deepwater, they look friendly with the bright colors and bulky cartoony appearance.

First I disliked the heads, but Prime's okay. He doesn't look like one of the strongest bots (which cybertron prime dit with it's big cannons).

I think almost any TF fan is going to like 'm half a year after the show airs and the bots hit the shelves.

Starscream, Prime and Megatron are my favorites so far

I want that figure!
