New Possible Image of Transformers: The Last Knight Optimus Prime Voyager Figure

Looks really cheap and poorly made, but that's just my opinion.

Nope, not just yours. Going to agree with you.

The grey plastic is a bit distracting, but as far as i'm concerned this sculpt is a winner!

I agree. Considering the source material is an armored knight with no kibble and human proportions turning into a modern Earth truck I think it does a fantastic job of pulling that off. And if this is a Voyager then that's pretty amazing as it looks even better than the AOE Leader.

I imagine we're seeing this so soon because it's a first edition or whatever that will be released months ahead of the rest of the line.

So will I.. Ugh..

The mold looks great (Someone mentioned it might scale nice with Lockdown), but I can't say the same for the paint. Particularly on the head and torso, the paint just seems like a cheap knockoff.

And we all know how Bumblebee feels about those.

The initial image showed us there would be very little paint apps but it still looks dissapointing, especially when compared to the AD Leader (not really fair). The reason I think they did the comparison is ecause this would be Hasbro's first offering of that Knight look Optimus had at the end of the film, with the forearms and new feet and AD 31 is the only other figure to have those feature. Those shoulder pins look huge so I think its a voyager. Transformation looks fun though, I will own this toy in one way or another but I would like to see how the Takara version looks (or how cheap I cold get the Hasbro version for).

Typical cheap looking Bayformers crap!

Here's to hopes that Retail will have the common sense this coming Summer not to let this goofy line interfere with the highly anticipated Generations TR waves releasing around the same time (Overlord! Trypicon, etc).

He claims superiority but then steals the knockoff's style anyway?

I don't like any of it.

Any chance its just a roughly painted prototype? Upper thighs don't match the lower thighs.

It is a test figure, yes, but the paint is made to look like the released version, as we know from the paint apps guide. So dont expect anything else aside from how the light will be reflected and the shade of the colours.

The sculptwork looks OK but the engineering looks kinda primitive, and the paint is just miserable.

On the plus side, if this is a Voyager and easy enough to disassemble, I might have found a candidate for converting into Nemesis Prime.

I'm going to assume that this is just a prototype and the actual released version will have better paint applications. I'm going to assume that.

Yeah, this is a test shot. Probably not fully representative of the final product.

While it is a test shot, its not far from what the finished product will look like. The paint aps are all the same you can find in the leaked colour sheet:



Just look at Breakaway for instance. This was the leaked colour sheet:



And here is the finished product (and not a prototype):



And the two match as perfectly as this Prime does.

He has as much paint apps in proportion as any other toy, with Breakaway as a perfect example. However, remember that lighting can be an issue.

Mold looks great. Color looks...

I hate how the neck armor is blue. Would it have been so hard to leave it grey?

This is definitely a toy that looks really bad color-wise from Hasbro, but can look amazing from Takara.

Maybe it was gangmolded with another part that did need to be blue. Or maybe it's unpaintable plastic. Or both.

Figure looks ok don't like color blue
