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?

What? How did they reduce his huge back kibble? And why didn't they do it for AD31?
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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I actually was going to mention that myself that I think it's a voyager, but then again the peg holes in his hands look a bit too small... It's probably voyager though, which would actually appeal to be more.

Since Hasbro was going by preliminary designs to make the AOE toys, blame ILM for changing the CGI models' designs from the ones they gave Hasbro to base the toys off of.SlyTF1 wrote:Looks awesome.

You know what would be a better way to make Transformers more relatable to people? Maybe you should let them have actual personalities.
Freakin' Rescue Bots gets that right, and it's meant to be accessible by Preschoolers. And yet the big-money summer blockbuster series either doesn't understand or doesn't care that the Transformers are the main characters in most versions.
And yeah, I walked out of AoE wishing I'd never walked in.

I was talking about AOE. But Sideswipe always struck me as gleefully brash. Kind of like Crosshairs, but more reserved and more reliable. And the Dinobots obviously have some kind of code or mindset that draws them to follow the strongest. I think they were steeds for the Knights, but it's not made abundantly clear.

and this version does look better than the last i think ill scale back on the movie figues
unless there so awesome that ill get them anyway, what i really want to see is the new megatron

SlyTF1 wrote:I was talking about AOE.
Yeah I had caught that, dont know why everyone suddenly jumped on this as a cue to bash the previous films. And in AOE Optimus actually had a personality, he was fucken pissed and also dissapointed in humanity! Hound and Crosshairs also had personalities, quite different ones too. You can see how one was more keen on helping humans than the other. They seemed to at least have as much personality as the characters on any given episode from the first two seasons of G1.
Anyways, about this new Optimus, this is the toy I am now most curious of. Not the one I want the most, but definitely the one that intrigues me. My only complaint about the generations line is that its quite predictable, and thats kind of the point. The gimmick is universal and the designs are based on pre-existing toys (which is the whole point of a line based on G1). But this here is them bringing it to the next level of engineering and I am super excited to see how its accomplished. I want to know where that back of the truck goes. Oh man, cant wait to see actual pics of the toy and discover its transformation.

What movie did you even watch?
Here is a small list of some of the Transformers in AoE that had personalities:
-Optimus Prime
-Bumblebee
-Lockdown
-Ratchet (that scene was sad.)
-Galvatron (crazy)
-Hound
-Drift (though, they didn't pay as much attention to him)
-Crosshairs
-Brains
And those are the main guys. I see no room for complaining. In fact, AoE was way better than the last ones when it comes to personalities. Optimus Prime being angry at the humans for killing Ratchet and starting to lose his desire to protect them is one good example. Any way you look at it, at least Optimus Prime and the other Autobots (for the most part) have more 3 dimensional personalities than in G1.
So it's not that they don't have personality. The problem is that they focus too much on the humans, and leave less time for character development of the Transformers. If we could get more moments of the Transformers interacting with each-other and building connections rather than the humans, it would be a lot better in my opinion. What do we get the toys of? The humans, or the Transformers?

I should have clarified that I was saying there's a lot happening in the near future that I can't be involved in. But, I suppose that was too much of an enigma for everyone to understand. (Really, that was something that I should've clarified instead of leaving it to interpretation. Shyamalan anyone?)
And fine. I'm done now.

We was still kinda trying to get himself together for a while from what I remember. He at least wasn't his normal self for a while. In the previous movies he was more about intimidation and domination, while him as Galvatron seemed more "I gonna kill you! RAHR! I HAVE NO SOUL!"

I agree. Considering the source material is an armored knight with no kibble and human proportions turning into a modern Earth truck I think it does a fantastic job of pulling that off. And if this is a Voyager then that's pretty amazing as it looks even better than the AOE Leader.
I imagine we're seeing this so soon because it's a first edition or whatever that will be released months ahead of the rest of the line.
