We can now report that UK Argos catalog stores are stocking the Transformers: The Last Knight “Reveal the Shield” Voyager class Optimus Prime. This figure, who is exclusive to Argos in the UK and will be a Target exclusive in the US, is a redeco of the Voyager class figure released in 2011 for Transformers: Dark of the Moon. He sports new translucent red weapons which can be used to decode the various stickers on him which concealed hidden symbols and coded messages.
According to TFW2005 member Neuta, these are being held in low stock in Argos stores – potentially as low as a single figure per store, as reported for a London location – which is partially explained by the offputting £34.99 pricetag which is approaching double what the original toy retailed for six years ago.

Too bad voyagers at retail aren't that far off. Argos is just a bit more expensive for some reason.

Don't pay £35 for any Voyager unless its from Takara.
Roanstalker
This is meant to alert Ukers that its out. Doesn't say out as of today so its not wrong.
Nevermore
What's wrong with that?

This is wrong I got one 2 weeks ago in Argos where I live
Roanstalker
Hes alright. Not the best ever. Hes got some odd proportions though making him look a bit more cartoony compared to what you'd expect from a movie toy.

All the RTS exclusives are out at Argos – mine had stock of each, and I bought the Tiny Turbos pack.

I wouldn't say it's just this figure. I've pretty much given up on Argos. Every time I've checked my local stores over the last few years, they only seem to have only one or two random Deluxes or Voyagers in stock.

How good is he? I missed the dotm version and I'm considering picking this one up.

This is been in stock in Argos for a month or 2, I didn\'t even realize no one reported it!

Hullo, just in case this is of any interest…

…the Argos-exclusive (Target-exclusive in the US I think?) DOTM Voyager Optimus redeco (now with added gimmick! And more clear plastic than you could see a robot army through!) is out.
In the UK anyway. Bought him earlier today for the princely sum of £34.99. They only had the one in-stock so perhaps they're not anticipating a landslide on this one…
