TFCLUB posted some lovely Hi-Resolution images of the upcoming Voyager Class Battle Blades Optimus Prime.
What’s so special about the figure? This voyager version of the Movie Optimus Prime is a brand new mold mimicking the looks of the ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime. Not only the Voyager toy is less-bulky, it also features two Battle Blades. As a bonus, this figure comes with a Matrix Of Leadership.

Suddenly, I'm more happy I have the 2007 Voyager version. The Matrix is cool, though.

Man, that is an awesome voyager representation of the leader class figure. If I saw it, it would be hard to turn down.

Yeah, I may not care for this version of Prime – I can't say that it looks like a McDonalds toy. That's just absurd.
Perhaps some pics of him properly transformed and then a nice repaint could change my mind on this guy. Perhaps.

He's going to look great with the deluxes of Bee, Ratchet and Ironhide. Hopefully we can get a new deluxe Jazz to go with them.

Very nice mold. Not bothered by minimal paint at all.

an awesome mold, but the swords look like shit, at least the legs don't look too skinny here, but dear gawd it needs at least a DROP of paint, that thing looks like a knockoff

Very, very good for a Voyager. Not perfect of course, and while it is a shame about the finish, it's good to see the budget going on engineering, accuracy & articulation. Easily one of the handful of good movie toys outside Leader ROTF Prime & Starscream.
I'd imagine there's a good chance Takara will bring some TLC to this, the way they did with Buster Prime.

THANK YOU!
Put me down for this and a Grindor…I shall construct a forest battle diorama and it shall be Voyager scaled and it shall still not be quite accurately sized but that's ok

Considering it's going to cost roughly half the price of the leader class figure, I think it's properly sized.

I agree that this voyager class looks more like a knock off. It just doesn't quite look as good as the leader class. Kinda has a cheap look to it. Definitely better than the previous voyager class movie prime. But not nearly as nice as the leader.

I'm on board for this. Now my leader can stay displayed in all his glory and I can use the voyager for messing around with.

Until I see proof that the Matrix is removable, I won't be sold.

looks short compared to the leader class 1

Sure it is a definite improvement but, No Thanks…
As i'm very fussy on things, the feet is not to my liking and is probably the major thing, that will probably stop me from getting him.

Looks nice…..might plonk for him.

Looks okay but they've ballsed-up the arm blades. Again.

Looks awesome, I'm so getting rid of my leader Prime for this version. Yet, I'll wait for the inevitable repaint for deco choices.

now i want this!!

That my thought as well, those guns and the matrix come with a price and its chunk of the budget that could have gone to paint apps. I just hope its simpler to transform than the leader class.
