Thanks to spartan 3764 and TFfanSean for catching a pic of Transformers The Last Knight Voyager Optimus Prime in a video by Ragin Nation that shows he has a variant floating around. There is a version packaged both with and without the faceplate on his head. Whether this is it’s own separate release, a running change, or a purposefully split ratio in the case is unknown. Keep an eye out in your hunting!

Nothing weird about it. Optimus spends about 93% of the time with a mouth in the movies. I've always preferred the movie Optimus figures with a mouth. I've never understood the people who want the faceplate.

Faceplateless, my bad haha

wait, mouthless or faceplateless?
SPLIT LIP
Every time I see a Voyager Prime at Walmart I check to see if it has a mouth or not, and I'm always disappointed. I much prefer AOE/TLKOptimus without his faceplate.

My SDCC Prime doesn't have an unfaceplated face. It's a shame, but I'm still happy with how the figure turned out.

I agree. I've looked at it a couple times, but my custom is nicer so there is no point.
Or maybe there is…

You took words right out of my mouth….plate.

I would buy the SDCC Prime right this second if I knew I would get the has-mouth version.

The man, the myth, the legend. The TLK Voyager Optimus Prime faceplate variant.

Tried to find him everywhere, and still no signs of it.

To add a sense of adventure and "oomph" into our collecting hunts of course!!

Oh no I'm not complaining at all. I just wonder why these are happening all of a sudden.

Wouldn't be the first Prime to have a mouth/faceplate variant, see Energon Super Optimus Prime and before that the color variations of Armada's Bendy Prime.

I personally love the variants, dont you? Nothing to be suspicious about!! The more the better, IMO!
Edit: Ooh, missed the one about a face-mask version of Combiner Force RID Deluxe Soundwave… pics please?!

tat damn bug eyes…

Are they going to be incorporating chase figures into their lines now? That'd be something my 10-years-ago counterpart would have been all over.

Cool! With this, RID Soundwave can go full G1! …and lose his one and only hint of being the same character as TFP Soundwave at all, all for the sake of nostalgia. Oh well, looks cool. If I find it, I'll get it, despite already having the screenface soundwoov.
