New Image of Takara Animated Wingblade Optimus Prime

(wets self)

What clear plastic and shiny paint?
Damnit!
Still looks pretty awesome tough.

The more I look at him, the more clear plastic I see. It's not just his chest it's his entire body the only thing not made of clear plastic is the armour.

Well, if the armor matches Hasbro's voyager, then I'm cool with that. I detest that the Asian market is getting the rest of the line in jacked up colors while we're twiddling our thumbs hoping to get them in the English speaking market. It just kinda irks me that this guy is another fine WTF example of their version of Animated. Also that I will buy it to complete the run. Sigh.

I daub it'll match Hasbro's colour scheme, I think the backpack will be too shiny. It looks great on this their version but might look odd on the Hasbro version.
And all because Hasbro decided to wait half a year after the show aired to release the toys.

ok i dont like the clear plastic at all but im still getting this and either repaint him or just use the amour on my hasbro version we will see

Is this the Voyager version of the mold? Or the deluxe? It seems like it would be the Voyager, because it looks like his mouthplate is tucked beneath his chin but I can't tell on my screen.

Yeah, but I mean, is it "Voyager" like Hydrodive Bumblebee is a "Voyager".

I'm glancing over my Voyager Prime and noticed that the plastic colors of his chest does not match up with those on the shoulders. Same story with Wingblade Prime, which is a shame.

Nope, the Voyager mold has a solid plastic chest, the translucent windows in the chest are a separate piece. And if you look closely you will notice that the rest of his body and weapons are also translucent which makes it odd that they chose to paint some of him with shiny metallic paint.

I'm not convinced of this. It looks pretty metallic to me. bad picture though. Ultra Magnus' blues look about the same finish as Prime's, and I'm pretty sure he's not translucent.
