Here’s a bit of release news for you – the Transformers Prime Dark Energon Voyagers have been released! They’ve been sighted at retail in Singapore, and fret not, because Big Bad Toy Store are also reporting that they now have these en route and in stock very shortly. In the mean time, check out these quick in-box pictures, which also includes a look at the bios for these toys.
Big Bad Toy Store is still taking preorders for these toys, either as a set of two, or as singles – Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Bro! Just got these two and damn! am so in love with mask-less Prime.
Megatron is less impressive but surprisingly better than the normal Voyager version. At least he looks more menacing in this version. Although more clear plastic would be good.
Overall, at great belated Christmas present to myself

I actually like Optimus Prime here. Love that new head. Easy bought.
Megatron…on the other hand….looks like an Emo Twilight Sparkle. I really hate that shade of purple, easy pass.

I am slightly curious to see what the large Purple Micron from Darkness Megatron looks like with Dark Energon Megatron the shades look compatible. And conversely the cannon on Darkness Megatron (and eventually Darkest Megatron).
Now I am scratching my head with what to do about that Orange on the forearms it looks kind of horrible. I can't swap parts with a Nemesis Prime as that would just make him look worse too. I guess the best solution is to leave a little accent in orange on the inner arms and just paint the rest clear red to match the body with a little metallic black blending the elbows into the arm and the wrists into the arms.
Not sure what colour to paint the wheels either Shiny silver, Aluminium silver, Gunmetal or teal blue metallic (like his groinal plate is). I think the ideal colour is Gunge Sanyo light metallic blue which I sadly no longer have as I can't find a UK supplier for that paint any more.
I would have preferred that Megatron have a really dark smoke for his accents on the shoulders and arms the colour they used is a bit to brown which is a shame as it will clash a bit with the Shadow Microns.
I think this line would be an ideal store exclusive for Sainsbury's or TRU or Tesco in the UK and help compensate for Optimus and Megatron being rotated out of the waves – it's especially suitable for Sainsbury's as it would encourage them to sell the toys in their mid size stores which they often don't.

For my money, the Dr. Wu face on FE Prime is still the way to go.

Kinda wish they used more purple-clear plastic on Megs… would look cool and ditch the baby purple and baby blue on optimus and were cool

Well I guess I should've reported this over a week ago when I saw them here.
Saw the deluxe dark Energon ones even earlier.
I did immediately like the look of that Optimus when I saw it. But the problem is, if I get this one Dark Energon figure, am I gonna wind up getting all the others just to go with it? Didn't take the risk and will-powered up.

Finally! A reason to buy a Voyager TF mold.

Ah, it's alright, Zy80. I think maybe I passed judgement of too harshly. But you're absolutely right- I do have to see it in person to get a better image of that Megatron. But really disappointed anyway that more clear plastic wasn't used.
dinorobo
Love them both, can't wait.

Hey Syd! I do buy TFP figures but not all of them. So I didn't pick these two up because I already have the FE Voyager Prime. As for Voyager Megs, I always have the impression he is giving off a very awkward smile instead of a menacing smile, so when what-is-seen-cannot-be-unseen, I chose to leave it
I would prefer the original color scheme, but my camera phone is not exactly the best representation of the actual color, so hopefully it turns out better when you can see it in-hand
[Wing_Saber-X]
Oh cool! This means that KL will be getting these soon!
I'm slightly underwhelmed on that Megatron, it looks kinda crappy and half-assed/ If the purple bits were darker, then it would look a million miles better, IMHO. That Prime is bought simply because I like the mould and he has a maskless face/
DPrime
lol. Literal lol.

Did you pick up either of them, zy? I'd love to see your photos of them but I don't know if you buy TFP figures….
Flexx Ark
I want that Megatron!

Thanks for the pics, although they both look pretty lame, especially poor Megs who looks like he's wearing a leather jacket and bright purple stockings.
