New stock images of Siege Leader Optimus Prime, Smashdown, and Caliburst

Galaxy Convoy/Cybertron Prime is still looking amazing. Still disappointed that Hasbro decided to make it just G1 Prime but with armor instead of going all out and doing a new Galaxy Convoy/Cybertron Prime. Hope some 3rd Party company is already planning an upgrade kit for him to give him Cybertron Prime's base head and better cannons or at least cannon fillers

Wasnt the original similar to that? I remember it being the most G1 prime since G1 prime.

Kinda, aside from the mouth slit and accented crest:

I'm just meaning the inner bot, specifically the head. It's a small thing, but for some reason it really bothers me that even in a big new non-G1 figure, there still had to be some G1 for it to be made. Cause Cybertron Prime had a mouthplate similar to Optimus Primal where he still had the mouth, but also plating around it, and this new version is just G1 Prime inside armor that makes him look like Cybertron Prime, rather than Cybertron Prime and his Supermode

I'd like to think of him as G1 Prime, but with armor and power derived from his Galaxy Force counterpart... Like Kamen Rider Zi-O

Hardly! Cybertron Prime is as far removed from the G1 design as it gets:
-Cybertronian Fire Truck vs '80 Square Cab with trailer
-Silver and yellow head details
-Optimus Primal-esque mouth
-Arm wheels
-Fake chest windows of a completely different shape
-Has the shoulders made from the front of the cab

I mean, Bayverse Prime or Armada Prime would probably take the title of "Farthest Removed from G1" because Armada Prime doesn't have the chest windows in any capacity, with yellow and more angular designs, and Bayverse Prime is... Well, as much as I love the Bayverse designs (pre AOE and TLK), even I can't really find any outstanding similarities until it gets to the mouthplate and ears

I was really hoping they would do his arms in blue like they did at TFNY. I know it was never going to happen, but I hoped.

Guess I’ll have to pull out the Testors and the brushes.

No that would be Beast Wars bat Optimus because that was intended to be Optimus Prime. Pretty sure he’s got that title if there was one

I think the most far removed optimus prime would be machine wars optimus prime and the first transmetal optimus primal as there is nothing similar to compare with any other optimus prime

Don't forget G2 Go-Bot Optimus Prime and the G2 Autoroller General Optimus Prime.

But you know? Those two plus Machine Wars get a pass because they were redecos of non-Optimus Prime figures.

Y'all are forgetting the most radically-designed Optimus (Prime or otherwise) of them all.

Voyagers
Wave 1: Prime and Megatron
Wave 2: Starscream and Soundwave
Wave 3: Thundercracker(?) and Springer
Wave 4: Thundercracker(?) and Apeface(?)
Wave 5: Apeface(?)

How did you come up with this projection for the Voyager waves? I would just assume Wave 4 is Apeface for now. Why repeat Thundercracker and then have have a fifth wave with Apeface again?

I was trying to base these off the release dates. All of the classes have some wonky release dates really.

also, Galaxy Prime looks fantastic! And Smashdown as the mascot of the Wreckers who happens to be a Minotaur Hammer is everything I could ever have wanted. I'm buying 3.

Also got Shockwave this weekend. Passed on him upon seeing him initially Friday night, but went back and got him tonight. They even added the SS leaders in that time, so triple leader score!

Will pass on some thoughts later this week once I open him. I still need to fully appreciate megs and Prime. And Prime truly is fan-frikkin-tastic
