Thanks to an Amazon Japan update on their product page for Takara AA-01 Battle Blades Optimus Prime, we've got new images of the figure. The old Voyager Movie Prime mold can now be thrown out the window, as this figure looks to be the real deal. He comes with dual guns, dual melee weapons and a big surprise, the movie-verse Matrix! No word on whether it is removable, so for now feel free to scrutinise the figure in the images below!

his legs are to thin
hopefully this is a prototype otherwise I'll get the other voyager prime.
and they are spaced apart to far
and his feet are to small!!!
oh and his swords arent even hidden. There in plain sight!!![]()
it was the housing scheme on his back I was more worried about, but I'm glad you've only got one problem.

I dunno what to do about this. It's cool, but I'm tired of buying different versions of the same character over and over.

I LOVE that he has the Matrix.
That's it.
The backpack is ridiculous, even worse than the Leader Class version's.
The legs are really too skinny, the gold plastic looks terrible, and there are no real paint apps.
Not a fan of this one. Not at all.

I know right.

I don't own any version of movieverse Prime for the mere fact that I really don't buy Primes unless they're beyond spectacular. This guy looks like he'll be the best of the bunch.

what i hate about hasbro
1. they make a new improved leader of the same character then make anotheer one with more gimmicks than the leader
2. they are making more money than we can count because we just want some of these gimmicks one figure didnt have
3.they make a smaller modo of the same character with more gimmicks
seriuosly, they jjust made a mini leader prime and add guns and the matrix thats how to cheat you out of money
in my opinion leader op chouldve got the matrix and maybe the guns but definteley the matrix
im am debating wheather to get this figure but i really want the matrix and guns so ill think

but whos with me that hasbro cheats us

Of course they do: they're a company for crying out loud, their only concern is to make money.

Seriously though, although it looks good I doubt I'd get it. He just looks too similar to the Leader version, even if he has a Matrix.

If Takara would make a Masterpiece of this guy, minus the chestful of electronics, slap a Matrix in there, and slim down the torso so the backpack is more film accurate, I'd be all over it like a cheap suit.
