Well that’s just Prime.
Hot on the heels of the preorders of the preview wave for Transformers Prime going up, we have a pair of images from HK-TF regarding showing off what might be the most highly anticipated toy from the line so far: Voyager Optimus Prime, from Transformers Prime. Aside from the robot mode shot of the Transformers Prime Voyager Class Optimus Prime, we have a comparison shot between the SDCC Transformers Prime Deluxe Class Optimus Prime with the previously mentioned Voyager Prime from the Transformers Prime line, which is now available to preorder through BBTS.

Methinks there'll eventually be a redeco that will contain that "feature"
Stepper
Same goes for me,am deciding for the Voyager because am wondering what the design will be like for 2nd edition of Voyager Prime?
Creaky
One incoming, I'll pick up another soon, so I can have dual weapons &
.
Spoiler
Yep, I am not gonna waste my time with the Deluxe now. Voyager it is!
Goaliebot
I want to go to there.
Kamijou Touma
I think I will buy both I just love Primes.
Rob
Yeah I love for everything to scale well within a line! Why I am excited for my leader class g1/ classics prime (mp-10)
I am definately going to pick up both voyager prime and bulkhead they look great, just hopping for a bigger prime.
I can see tt adding better colors and maybe even chrome on prime
Lazerwave
I like both, but I gonna get the deluxe first.
DPrime
Ah, thanks. I guess I never really paid attention to relative size in the cartoon that much.
At any rate, Bulkhead looks great. Might just have to pick him up… I'm kind of interested to see what TT does with these molds, though.
Stepper
But that chest of his look much better than 3D glasses,LOL

My ONLY disappointment with this figure, and it's a VERY small disappointment is that the backing of the truck isn't flat, like ROTF prime's. It has a very unfinished look.
alanyap
He has a nice pair of oversized 3d-glasses on his chest. me likey!

What are you talking about? You can see the airfoil and mirrors right there.
They just change lenght/bend a little to improve the character design itself just like how G1 and Animated character models are always disappearing wheels and changing proportions for the sake of looking good.
Gilgamesh
His feet are the roof. His shoulders are actually "fake". The lower hood forms his back and his arms are the upper hood. It's a crazy transformation.
edit: sorry, you were talking about the character model and I meant the toy. My bad.
Kostya
It all makes sense though. He has very little kibble(like, next to none) that isn't on the show and he still manages to create a good looking truck. Just because it's not immediately obvious where things go doesn't mean it's a bad model. It all makes sense.

voyager looks soo much better, but the only way to get the only megatron we know of currently at non-ebay prices is to buy deluxe prime in the 2-pack
Infosaur
I guess I just have problems with the overall design in general, even in the cartoon.
In G1 you could clearly see the vehicle mode parts integrated in the robot mode.
Bayformers just have random auto parts all over with no rhyme nor reason to where they're located. I think Sideswipe (maybe Jazz) has about 6 clutches, and 8 shock absorbers.
Optimus' character model on Prime has what looks like rearview mirrors on the sides of his windshield/chest that aren't even the same ones from vehicle mode, and there's a panel on each side that looks like half of the clearance light airfoil from a truck (the part above the windshield) that, again, aren't on the other mode.
Looks like his feet form the hood, like the Bayverse Prime. And there's a huge panel on his back that could form just about anything. (though, I admit, it's too compact to be called "kibble" in the traditional sense)
It's just so,,,, random.
Paladin
Really? Good to know!

Bring on Voyager TFP Optimus Prime!!
Rob
For scale I would have to say that a leader class Prime would be much better into scale with the deluxe vehicles. This is what I would like to see;
Ultimate
Ultra sized Optimus Prime with Trailer (if no Leader)
Leader
Skyquake
Megatron
Optimus Prime (if no Ultimate)
Voyager
Ironhide (I can dream)
Starscream
Ratchet
Bulkhead
BreakDown
Deluxe
Jazz (I can dream)
Prowl (I can dream)
Bumblebee
CliffJumper
Knockout
Scout
Arcee
Airachnid
A list like this would be the closest thing to show scale you can get.
