Comparison Shots for Transformers '07 Leader Optimus Prime Re-release, with MPM-4, The Last Knight

So we know it's the gun variant just from the ears, but I'm pretty sure the most frequent use of that mold was the bladed version. I wonder what this is going to be sold as. Probably platinum edition, but in a perfect world it would be in a box set with some other good Optimi.

Where do you see that?

If primus isn't real, then explain this Easter egg. Checkmate, Matrixiests.

Where's that pic from? It isn't with the other in-hand pics.

Also, that looks more like Cybertron Optimus Prime's Cyber Key than not.

I rather called it Primus's Chip Square rather than the Cyber Key/Omega Lock itself

I'm not entirely sure why, but I need that 'Cybertron' in my life. Coincidentally, it's the same colors as a new pair of kicks that I'm looking at! I feel like it belongs with my G2 toys, but not sure as what, other than what it is.

Give it your new shoes. Give Primus an offering and appease him!

That's not the accessory we were talking about, though.

I was just thinking about how the TRU I visited today struggled to fill a very tiny like 1/8th of an aisle with no exclusives yet, and not much to write home about, seeing those pallets and displays... Awesome. It is interesting how Hasbro figured out that maybe the TF movies aren't kid friendly enough to warrant wave after wave after wave of toys.

Or maybe they didn't figure that out and there are better reasons. Or?

...if it will win me some sort of favor by the sacrifice, then Primus will be done...

Wow! That Primus paint job is amazing!!

Loved the 07 Nightwatch Prime, so I will need to keep my eye out for this new re-release. May keep this guy in the packaging

Inb4 packaging is just a glorified shoebox

Those two-packs part of the Transformers: The Last Knight Mission to Cybertron exclusive line (to Toys'R'Us in the US), which were sighted here, were also reviewed by Panda Prime, who sent us news of the video embedded below!

The two sets feature Optimus Prime vs Grimlock (both repaints of previous Legion figures), and Bumblebee vs Megatron (a repaint and a new mold!). Check it out.

No, and if you'll excuse me Devastator won't bow down to himself!

It is nice figure already got mine on preorder look forward see detail on figure up close

All these people wanting to replace poor Nitro Zeus' head with Thunderwing...He's beautiful just the way he is, OK? In all seriousness this guy looks totally amazing. If I see him I'll be buying him. Probably. I will say though, if it weren't for the fact I like him as is, I'd be tempted to buy 3 of him and 3 of the same TM, do some custom work, get some Shapeways faceplates and make them into a Seeker trio. That design would have made an amazing Seeker and I kinda wish we'd got that instead of Doritoscream.

But yeah, anyway. Macho Mech Nitro Zeus will be mine.

That Primus is VERY tempting. I'll replace the Cybertron original and that TLK Primus would look amazing next to my 2010 Primus.

Also, I personally see no point of owning an eventual re-release of the '07 movie leader Optimus because I already have the super chromed Premium version and it's AMAZING. They'd better do something special for the re-release.
Still, if anyone who don't have the mold at all you should consider the eventual re-release. Even though it's NOTHING like the movie, '07 Leader Prime is a great toy by itself. Almost like those classic/movie hybrid toys they did after.

Would have been interesting to see Primus in silver, but maybe that wouldn't be different enough from the original grey and blue? Barring that, a "Golden Age" Cybertron would have been really interesting.

I'm strongly considering a Guardian Leader-1 faceplate, myself. Being he's a grey jet, seems appropriate.

Cartoon style? or toy style?

Could look great with a Cyberjet or Machine Wars style head, too.

It looks pretty sweet I just don't know if I want to pay three times what it the original costed me.

ALso damn, that TRU display is awesome!

That's gorgeous man, great job

Thank you! He just had a lot of sculpted detail so I had to try my hand at him.


Those pics of Nitro look good, and I love that it seems his cockpit is Titan Master compatible. Can't wait to add him to my Decepticon display.

Dunno if this is considered new, but found this at planet iacon-singapore transformers fans unite facebook page, a display of scorn and nitro at a mall in taiwan.




we get a look at nitro in slightly better lightning, and scorn in action pose.

Fans over on the Singapore Transforomers Fans Unite facebook have posted a ton of new in-game images of the upcoming The Last knight Voyages Class Scorn! The photos show off the robot mode, dino mode, as well as some compairisons with his deluxe class figure from Age Of Extinction. Check them out below!

I look at the colours on this Cybertron figure, and call it like it is. This is G2 Primus. And I need it.

In hands pictures of Voyager Scorn

Well, potato cam's photos are better than nothing I guess. :/

Look neat, but I'll skip. My AoE fruity dinobots display is perfect as it is.

I can't wait for the inevitable tuxedo-esque repaint they'll do and rename it Michael Scorn.

I wonder who they'll use for Goldenface...

I love this thing so much.

Sadly, I don't $150 before tax love it. Maybe if it drops down to $100.

...huh. I like this more than I thought I would.

Skullcrunchberries , responding to news just throw the post without context in the thread, making the posts a bit confusing.

That's why when I responded to Scorn's pictures, I did:

About...

It's a quick way not to be lost. Maybe that's a feature that could be programmed in? When responding to a news article, a tiny "quote" could automatically appear above the typed text in the post.

A suggestion for Seibertron and Admins.

I have an IMMENSE NEED to see this guy under a black light. I already have "Transformers: Cybertron" Primus, so I won't be buying this one, but I'm incredibly curious as to what he'd look like in UV.

Scorn

That Voyager Scorn is so weird in that the dino mode is about the same size as the Deluxe figure (making it redundant for some people who want larger dinos) and yet it's far larger in robot mode?

Hum... Basic perspective, dude. Deluxe Scorn is IN FRONT. Put it in the back, and it'll look like a scout.
Let's wait for better comparison shots, shall we?

Elephant in the room: How come the voyager Scorn seems to be the exact same size as the deluxe Scorn? Forced perspective or no, the tips on the back spines seem to measure exactly the same.....

DeathReviews wrote:Elephant in the room: How come the voyager Scorn seems to be the exact same size as the deluxe Scorn?

Illusion via forced perspective.

EDIT: And the deluxe has taller spines.

Ok that was a bit patronising (especially since I've been a graphic designer and artist in the past so do know something about all that) They're not that far apart and I don't mean the dino modes are exactly the same size. Just seems the voyager isn't as big in dino mode as one might have hoped.



This robot mode pic does make the voyager look considerably bigger. I really don't like those dino arms hanging off the shoulder though.

The extra plastic seems to have gone into bulking out the Dino's anatomy rather than outright making him taller -- the legs, tail and head are all much beefier than the deluxe's.

The legs of the voyager are on the side of the dino mode. The legs of the deluxe are underneath.

Yep as I mentioned before that would work for me! So I gotta buy that Siege on Cybertron set and sell off the toys that aren't Magnus Prime and Thunderwing. Damn my usual supplier has sold out of that box set already?

At this point, for the US, the set is sold out everywhere (BBTS exclusive). Your best bet might be to do the reverse - just buy Thunderwing. Unless he gets ridiculously priced. If you live outside the US, I feel really silly right now.

Aaaand cross-compatibility has driven this discussion completely off-topic.

I am in UK so yeah it would be even harder to find. And yeah I can see a couple Thunderwing heads but they're like £18 each. Same price as a Deluxe Titans figure and that's way too much just for a head.

Not really when Hasbro started it with Cogman being a Titans Return style figure.

Maybe the two are as tall in dino mode. But I'm sure the voyager will be much, much bulkier. I'll wait a comparison shot of the exact front and above.

By the way, "Thunderwing" look neat, but not neat enough for me to spend that much money on this boxset. Especially because I only care about the Titan Master Thunderwing.

I got TLK Barricade today.

He's actually pretty decent. Fun transformation, really cool accessories and backpack aside he looks great in both modes. I dig him a lot.



My biggest complaint is he looks pretty stumpy next to a lot of other movieverse Deluxes.



...Hey, stop it, what are you doing!?!



When you get him in the right pose, though, my god he's so good.



So yeah, a nice little cop-bot. I wouldn't pay full price though, he's fun but he's not THAT fun.

Black Hat wrote:My biggest complaint is he looks pretty stumpy next to a lot of other movieverse Deluxes.

He's a lot of fun. To be fair with the size though, that Battle Blade Bumblebee is overly large for a Deluxe, so much so that the Takara 2014 re-release is classed as a Voyager despite being the exact same toy with a new paintjob.

Barry's a bit smaller than most Deluxe Bees but he's still bigger than some others, Drift for example.

Yeah, BBBB is XBOX HUEG. But really, he is a small toy, no getting around it. Gen/Legends Arcee is taller than him. Still, I like him.

I posted this in the TF Toy Haul thread earlier as I got Berserker for about £15 today (usual about £23). Building up a nice lil squad of TLK cons. And deluxe Starscream is there just cos.

It's a shame that Nitro's jet mode is a little bland and miss-proportioned as I am very taken with the robot mode.

Perhaps a remould is possible with a lot of new jet parts - that would help.

I don't mind if the use that mould for a version of Thunderwing sometime - even if it's not until 2019 - It might be a good idea for Hasbro to push the Movie in advance with some HFTD/TF2010 style releases that actually scope some interest.

That is if they don't cripple their market entirely with chronic over pricing before then.

Friend to the site Sammythekat sent us tip on some cool new images of Voyager Nitro from Transformers: The Last Knight. These are the images a lot have been waiting for since they show where the alt mode ends up, which is all on the back. It gives us an idea that as cool as both modes are, it will probably be a robot under a jet, although Voyager Megatron did prove us wrong on the matter and resulted in a splendid toy. Hopefully that is the sme for Nitro who might have a comparatively clever transformation. We also have more pics of Snarl. You can click on each image to be broght to the initial post on the Snakas blog which includes more images of these and more movie figures. Also, as a bonus, Sabrblade found some images on facebook of Nitro with the Thunderwing Titan Master for you to see what that looks like.

We have official images of the Argos exclusive Reveal The Shield Tiny Turbo Changer 3 pack which includes a Tiny Turbo Steelbane. Steelbane will not be released individually and while it is assumed that this 3 pack will be released in the US through Target, there has been no confirmation. So if anyone spots this set or any set featuring the same revealing gimmick in other countries, please let us know. One interesting new piece of news is that this set comes with not one, not two ... but 8 clear red plastic weapons. This is being sold in Argos for £10.99 and seems to be available for purchase right now.

You can see the official images below.
