Jinxm of HK-TF has posted a rather extensive gallery of the TakaraTomy release of Wingblade Optimus Prime from Transformers Animated! The Japanese version of Wingblade Optimus Prime uses the voyager figure(a translucent version at that!) as the base, in lieu of the deluxe to be used on the forthcoming US Wingblade Optimus Prime.
Hit the title bar to check out the last version of Optimus to appear onscreen in Transformers Animated!

I just want the clear Prime. I could care less about the armor!

^Im guessing the jet-pack comes with the clear version of Prime!
But fits just as well on the regular shiny one which I have too!
Im so looking forward to this!

Oops I'm mistaken then. I guess Hasbro and their team planned on making a completely different Optimus Prime toy if season 4 had continued maybe to closely resemble his vehicle mode… and add on attachment such as this?

Between that the Movie Prime mark 2 with unusually long arms and flat-screen TV pecs we're due to get, I know which one I'd rather have.
Well, back to buying more Mega Millions tickets. Maybe I can bring Animated back in some limited capacity before I die.

The orthographic drawings in the AA2 are for a toy, not the aniamtion model. A toy that uses a heavily modified or completely different Voyager Prime figure, one that had the bumper on the arms, different wheels and arms.

Well, I think this schematics are not for a toy but a concept for the Transformers Animated cartoons. Even in truck mode in Animated Optimus' wheels are really close similar to that and when he attaches to his fire truck trailer its attaches similat to that. So there is some animation magic. Put this in a voyager prime and we're good
If somebody tackles this there has to be some comprises made. But let's talk about that when somebody does decide to take on this challenge…
In the meantime sombody at deviant art did a colored version of what could be an awesome toy

Don't think an addon kit would do it. The schematics look like they use a modified Prime figure in the same manner that Samurai Prowl was changed to accept his armor. Wheels are closer, bumper kibble ends up on the forearms, feet look like a completely different transformation…
I mean, I'm sure they could come up with something close, but…

That powermaster upgrade would have been really cool if animated continued. Well, AA2 have some schematics so if theres any third party companies out there make this! As for the Animated Powermaster Prime picture I'm not sure if you can post that…

OMG Fansproject please make this for us!!! I would pay $100 for an add-on kit like that alone.
Still I am happy with the soon to be released Wingblade (B-day present to myself), clear figure and all…I have the supreme, deluxe, and activator mould so the clear voyager will help it stand out more.

I'm not buying a crystal version I don't want for an accessory pack that's painted to go with another Japanese release I don't want. (standard Voyager Prime) Same with Bumblebee: that gold is just tacky.
I'll keep waiting, Hasbro.

I really want to buy this, but $50+ is too steep for me at the moment. It looks awesome, and hopefully I'll be able to buy it one day.

Cool, let's go Takara give us new Animated molds…

I'd buy one if hasbro sold it for $20.
i'd most likely sell off/return my 2007 voyager animated optimus prime.

SOLD! Does it come with the clear plastic toy or the standard shiny toy? Not that I care, cause both are awesome and I still have my american voyager.
