Seems just as bad as that one AoE Prime..

Jes my favourite too, I just wished they made a damn movie where he is the main menace and not put on the side as a secondary vilain or only given 10 mins of screentime.

Wasn't he the main villain in the first movie?

It looks like they finally realised the wheels need to fold in at a right angle flat onto his back (which was kinda obvious from the outset).

Still not interested myself, but I'm happy for movie toy collectors that they finally get a better toy for this design.

Any info to got with this to say if it is a Voyager or a Leader Class - as looking at what happened in past lines the start off with a Leader then follow up later with a Voyager.

We could do with a post AOE Voyager Prime that isn't a KO. I think it's to well decorated to be a Deluxe though.

I can't wait to see the premium Deco version they will no doubt make in Japan.

Oh and I don't personally have a specific "Movie Collection" they all get thrown in together from Rescue Bots to KO, and from Generations to Movie to 3rd party. That said I'd not say Movie toys are my primary Interest - since I don't actually even bother watching the Movies but I don't discount them either. I guess I got kinda relaxed to them as IDW's designs seem so much more exaggerated to me it kinda made the Movie stuff look pretty reasonable to me after that.

Meh! just mostly looks like the previous one

+ i'm happy enough with the AOE Leader Class that i've got

The design shares some features with the Age of Extinction look, but looks a lot more streamlined in robot mode - check it out mirrored below from a variety of sources, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Wow, that actually looks pretty good! My guess is that it's a remold of the AOE one, but substantially upgraded. It is cool that his shoulder armor plates are actually their own thing, unlike AOE where they were formed by truck kibble.

Looks much better than the previous movie Optimus Prime (Although I don't actually own one), but that sword looks a bit small...

Looks more like Alpha Trion than Optimus Prime. I guess this is part of the movement to make Transformers more relatable to people by humanizing them more.

AoE was the worst. I don't even own it.

Dang it. I wish my Armor Knight Optimus had a tiny backpack

Hmm, looks alright. Need some more convincing, but at least this one looks better backpack wise

This design of Optimus is WAAAAAYYYY better than the Age of Extinction design. Fingers crossed and hope it is a legitimate design for the Last Knight Optimus Prime Leader figure.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking, FUCK! I dont want to own several leader Optimus toys using that Western Star Design. And while this one seems "better", we can see the listed paint apps and he will be bare bones with a ton of unpainted grey and blue plastic. Then again, its the same as with the original trilogy. The first leader wasnt screen accurate but it was fine, but then the ROTF leader was super screen accurate and then they kept rereleasing it looking better and better up until this fucking year where they are still releasing that mold and hopefully making it right this time. I wasnt collecting at the time, so I am just buying the latest one and calling it a day. But with this AOE design, I fear I will be stuck in a new version of that cycle where there will be slight improvements each year or so to the same design and I wont know when to put my chips down and get it. I jut dont want to own many of them, and I really like my AD 31, easily the best paint job of the last 5 years.

But this is an exciting time nonetheless. I just adore seeing these early designs and wondering how things transform. Its really fun with movie toys and with RID confirmed as still releasing toys next year aong with generations, there will be a bunch of leaks and products revealed for us to talk about. Looking forward to it.

But damn, he needs mroe paint apps.

I'm sure we can expect Takara to do something about that.

Yeah but I am sick of paying for imports. TR actually did a pretty good job with paint in comparison, its too bad we seem to be going back into a rut.

This thing looks AWESOME! This looks even better than the Armor Knight Prime to me!

Do you own Armour Knight? Thats a toy you just have to own to see how awesome it is. The shinyness just distracts you so much from the back kibble that it all just dissapears.

I don't own him, but GAWSH I wanted him. I was referring to how awesome the mold is on the new one. Just image this guy with the extra molding and paint of AK OP!

Oh no argument there silly, thats why I was all torn up earlier. I like my AD 31 but you bet yourass I would have preferred getting that deco on a mold that doesnt have that insane backpack.

One thing to take note though, looking at those shoulder pins, this isnt a leader but more like a voyager. There could be a silver lining there since it wouldnt be like replacing AD31 and I could have a prime looking that way that scales with my OS Lockdown.
