"Movie accurate detailing!!!"
In what frikkin' movie?
But it does look cool, and the new sword and shield are a nice touch. But most likely not for me, though maybe this is the 6th and final deluxe?

Here is sqweeks:

Jalaguy revealed in another post that all of the pages in the booklet that have Premier Edition toys on them have that "Movie accurate detailing" logo on them.D-Maximus_Prime wrote:"Movie accurate detailing!!!"

Its accurate to this movie, with all the blood of humanity splattered onto Optimus' body after his murderous rampage.
Also, its not the last deluxe, since this is a voyager toy. I think its a store exclusive.

I meant voyager, sorry.
I almost got this once in the fire-strike deco or something with the axe and flames. It was pretty cool, but I had no moneys. But this deco is... interesting

This is yet another missed oportunity to have an american release of the Takara tooling of that voyager mold that ditched the random solar panels and engine-like gas tanks for a flat hood and normal gas tanks that also had a Mech-Tech weapon that went from a movie accurate(at least movie 1 and ROTF) ion blaster to an also movie accurate energon blade.
But sure, give us this random deco.
The weapons DO look nice, though.

Oh, that version of the mold is FANTASTIC, the axe looks brutal and if you remove the blue paint on the eyes, he looks more menacing than most Nemesis Primes out there, and since the deco is already different than his normal colors, I actually like having the solar panels, engine gas tanks and rocket feet, as they further set him apart from the other Optimus Primes from the movies.
Also, I got him stupidly cheap, as someone sold me Optimus AND Prime Sky Lynx for less than voyager price!

So given that he's in town and probably the only one worth getting ... is Barricade good and I should ignore the opinion of certain reviewers? Or is he dodgy as an Italian News Admin?
Re: New DOTM Voyager Optimus Prime Redeco Revealed for Transformers: The Last Knight

He's essentially a basic shellformer that looks kinda cool in both modes and while not documented you can repurpose the egregious kibble backpack into something actually kind of nice. The biggest pain is the price; I suppose the running theme for this line seems to be "is pretty cool, wait for price reductions".
I thought the Australian admin was the dodgy one?

Can't believe no one talks about that quality scene it was so realistic like they were really dying in irl it would explain why we never heard about those extras again.
Overall it was a great adaptation of Transformers: Buckets of Blood and I'm glad their finally homageing it here even if it's years late.

You should buy him. He is a good figure that looks awesome, poses pretty good, has some awesome features and accessories, and overall has a solid and dense feel that makes him very sturdy and fun to play with

Yeah I'm pretty happy with my Barricade.

Unless I read the tags wrong (probably should have done a price check) then he's coming in at $30AUD which is pretty standard price for that point.
Depends which forum we're talking about I guess ...

Burn, 3 things you should consider:
1. Cobotron got stress marks from removing the kibble in Barricade's back
2. Would Voyager Sentinel Prime be a good toy if you could remove his backpack?
3. Are you ok with simple Transformations?
Not trying to influence you, just getting you ready for this toy. Its a lot of money to plop down for a toy that showcases no evolutuion in the past decade of engineering.

That's 3 things actually
And even then, wrongo.
Burn, listen to your favorite staff member from the north american continent. Cobotron's experience is one of a few, mine has none and I mess with it a lot. Voyager Sentinel Prime should not even be compared to this toy. and the transformation, while simple, is satisfying and it involves a toy that feels like it has more plastic on it and feels better in hand. It may be a bit shorter than other deluxes, but it is sturdy and you will not break it messing with it.
It is functional, really awesome looking, and satisfying. Best figure of the first wave of TLK

Better than Voyager Optimus Prime?!
No offense, but it sounds like someone drank the wrong kool aid
Also, regarding simplicity, Burn was not fond of that Generations Leader Megatron toy which I know you are very fond of. We all have very different opinions and taste and regardless of what any of us think, we should lay down the facts for Burn to do the choice he feels is best for him.

2nd best maybe! Prime is best. That's my opinion anyways.
