New Prototype Voyager Movie Optimus Prime on Ebay!

how is it different ???

not sure if its the lighting used when the picture was taken or different paint applications but the blue used on the face plate seems darker to match the rest of the helmet.

Other than that maybe some minor detail work?

^^Different Paint Apps. And his face is slightly different.

I was just thinking the same thing? And i wlso want to know how many prototype figures do they make of one mold? Ryan has one, Spx has 3 on ebay, im sure there are at least 1-2 more out there some were. Why are there so many?

The one on auction has flames on the front of the legs and gold detailing on the knees but is missing the red detail on the shoulders and blue on the hips and stomach.

I just noticed... the one on auction doesn't have flames on the roof of the cab but does have them on the front of the legs. Isn't the roof what becomes the leg fronts? How is that possible? Is he using images of 2 different prototypes?

Paint apps are a little different

It's possible that they do a prototype for each layer of paint app's that they are going to put on, so they can see it layer by layer and adjust accordingly. I bet some where there is a wharehouse of half painted tf's that will never see the light of day.

Edited for hilarity...

I talked about this in the other thread, so instead of retyping everything, I'll just cut-and-paste, tada :

what's all this about another paint-scheme for the Voyager Prime? Check out the pics over at TFW2005.com : http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=129307 and some really cool pics here: http://www.actoys.net/bbs/read.php?tid=175008

This one has flames on the front of his legs (though the roof of the truck - that is the part that makes the leg-knee-section - doesn't have any flames), no red detail on his shoulders, no blue detail on the top of his legs, the blue on his belly is replaced with red and the copper around the screws have been painted over red as well...

I hope that one isn't the final version, it's missing alot of the paint apps that make Ryan's Prime look like the actualy movie model. And this toy is already badly in need of paint detailing, there's no need to take away what little colours he has in bot mode.

Also, Ryan did you use the flash in your pics? 'Cuz the Prime in that second link look much brighter blue, I'm wondering what shade he has "in real life"...

The ones on actoys have some silver, dont know if its a custom paint or if its is another paint layer one

So your telling me that there is a wharehouse out there with a frack load of rare prototype TFs? I now have a new mission in life, find that place and steal the figures. Who ever helps gets a cut of the figures ubtained.

Go to 554 northsoutheast 754th st in Nw York, there you will receive further instructions on the whereabouts of the "wherehouse"

I saw this yesterday, alot of movie toys are already up so I didn't think it was anything special.

It'll take much more than mere differences in paint to get me to buy that figure.

Eww. They better not change it to that. The one Seibertron has looks so much better.

heres a thought, someone should repaint movie optimus into ultra magnus or nemisis prime

I had the same idea, so, here they are:




I think the mould works great for Nemesis, nos so much for Ultra-Magnus.

Wow this means Seibertron's version might be a real test shot!!!!

I am really liking this Optimus.
