New Images: Takara Tomy Transformers: Lost Age LA-01 Battle Command Optimus Prime

My wallet is confused

Confusion!

Could it be voyager sized? That would be great!
Evasion Prime from the Grimlock 2pack is awesome and it would be great to have
the modern Prime in the same scale.

I can't remember who, but someone was right when they said that this toy was in four steps.

I think that was me, but I never expected it to be folded inside-out like Power Attacker Hound.

Looks like he is built around play value for the one steppers. So, maybe he's not too bad if you pic up the one steps or maybe cyberverse? I'm not sure how big the one steps are...

Really 4 steps? LOL, what is it? Pry the shell off of the head and back, turn torso, pull out arms, pull out legs?

i love this part.. and yes, i don't mind being a four year old for a second.

.. i told you so.

and i was able to be sure because i could look at the differences between this mold and the other two and come to the logical (and correct) conclusion that it was different.. but not only different, but it was smaller too.

I totally agree with you on this Prime mold and fugly backpack. I can say though that having Galvatron in hand he is really not as bad as he looks in pictures. The Hasbro coloring is terrible but the figure has significant weight, is highly articulated, and display well in either mold. That's just my humble opinion.

~reluctantyouth~

I'd kind of like an optimus with a trailer, but not a third of a trailer. I'll wait to see what the upcoming TRU Optimus with Trailer is gonna look like. That trailer looks complete. But this figure would be great for the kids, and is probably cheaper since the TRU Optimus is currently listed for $149.99 I think.

I do not think Galvatron is terrible either, but if the aesthetics of the backpack and the face mold (cross eyed villain is more haha than omg) can be a fraction better, then I would definitely get him. Perhaps using the first edition Optimus as comparison is more apropos.

You should check out this Galvatron.

OMFG! It's so beautiful... no words... should have sent... poet... Wait, where's the backpack? Popped off? WHO CARES! SOLD! *Looks at the price* Ok, who needs a kidney?

*Edit* Forgot to add, that's what you call an evil looking badass. That cross-eye pupil effect just won't do, won't do at all. Baltmatrix called him goat looking lol.

These ONE-STEP changer that replaced my fav. Cyberverse line is an absolute ABOMINATION! The looks of these changers are so distorted and doesn't even have proper joint movements compared to the Commsnder class Cyberverse. In truth I've spent over $500 on cyberverse line, now ONE STEP, Sparklers or whatever that's "replacing" Legion line can get no dollars from me as other discussion threads and people said many things alike. Epic fail!

I'm waiting to see what I think is going to be a TRU exclusive prime with trailer to hit.

Anyone else think this looks like a poorly thought out remake of the back end of G1 Motormaster?

I guess it's a good thing that many unenlightened parents are willing to throw an obscene amount of money towards making their rug-rats happy because Primus knows Hasbro has lost a majority share of the traditional adult fan-base on this line.
I can understand "Dumbbing-down" a toy line for the youngsters but they've long passed that stage and straight up put a bullet in the brain-pan of this movie line.
