    I'd be surprised if there isn't one, but I can see them swapping in the darker colours but leaving the deco pattern the same as the regular voyager' kind of how the Allspark Tech Optimus figures are (i.e. No chest flames or anything more accurate).

    I'd definitely be one if BBTS isn't getting them I'm in talks with them now about it and early next week i should find out. And that's IF they do know anything. Which they might not yet. I DEFINITELY want this mold and I can't remember what was the last movie exclusive was it the G1 deco Grimlock exclusive? I'd love to get a movie ticket to go with it even if it was just for vast collection. :) 

    Additionally, what was DOTMs? And if you know ROTF and 2007s? :D  Either way if it helps I'll pitch in anyway

    Anyone who is even decent with painting their figures should just stick with the hasbro one and paint it, IMO. All the dark plastic on this guy is making me depressed haha

    That's real nice.

    Import prices can't be cheap though.

    Eh.. not to worry for me as Hasbro Asia should be bringing this release abundantly over to Asia based collectors for a decent price. Going to keep mine MISB when I get it.

    Just the same as the Darkside Moon (DOTM in USA) Leader Class Striker Optimus Prime release and somewhat of the Lost Age Voyager Movie Advanced Optimus Prime (which I stupidly skipped on because I had/have 2 sealed ROTF voyager Battle Blades Voyager Optimus Prime and a loose one, but I wish I got it with my other Movie Advanced figures)

    Looks like the whole thing is covered in paint like the US one except dark grey paint BUT it could be dark grey plastic alone in final.

    I think Seth's getting at the unpainted arms and weaponry, just throwing that out there

    Otherwise, great observation with the whole Darkside Moon Prime and the Lost Age Voyager Prime resemblance. It makes the color scheme a lot more justifiable, and it's gonna fit nicely into collections with those figures

    DA-28 Takara Leader Striker Optimus and Lost Age Advanced Battle Blades Voyager Optimus just happen to be favorites of mine and I consider them to be the epitome of their respective size classes (I like my Striker even more than the various Buster, APS, and MB versions). This evil TLK Voyager OP should fit in nicely with them.

    Most of the gunmetal grey I see on the torso and arms does not look painted to me. That looks unpainted. The only parts painted with gunmetal color to me, seem to be the head and shins.

    This makes me wonder if the Takara TLK Voyager Optimus will be exactly the same as the Hasbro Premier Edition one or if it will be a 'brighter' coloured version of this.

    I like the Hasbro's version except for the missing paint aps on the feet.

    I still think Takara will have their own TLK branded premier Prime but for later this year. I highly doubt they'll leave this mold out of their TLK mainline(with this dark Prime being for ticket buyers and the hasbro one as a TRU exclusive). I think we'll see this mold used down the line with the same mold colors but more metallic silver accents, maybe drybrushed on and blue eyes

    Thanks man! :)  Looking at my.collection I'm still missing some Primes. Hence ANY with that darker tone grey paint/plastic. I want the DOTM Takara voyager witg Trailer (& package), Striker Optimus Prime, and yes I should of got the Movie Advanced Voyager Optimus Prime (I picked up the Movie Advanced ".5voyager" Bumblebee (HFTD deluxe is voyager height), Movie Advanced Dino, & Movie Advanced deluxe dark Soundwave. I WAS gonna get the whole run but my girlfriend canceled my preorders because she was mad at me. Bitch! Lol Luckily I was able to get the full Movie Best both waves 1 & 2 in full, this year. :) 

    About Dark Spark Primes paint, I think it's hard to tell in a pic but the shoulders and right above the knees (but not the hips) look to be the only parts that are not painted. The arms up til the shoulders, the collar, chest, and abs, and the hips look like they are sprayer wiyh dark dark metallic gunmetal paint. ;)

    Heck yah dude that's funny I JUST posted a comment from my notifications saying that I want Striker Optimus Prime and Movie Advanced Voyager Battle Blades Prime :D  I'm also looking for a voyager DOTM Takara Optimus Prime witg the trailer for Mech Tech weapons (I love that deco on that mold with the alterations. If you ever wanna sell any of those or know anyone lmk;) 

    But I handled the Lost Age Movie Advanced voyager Prime last year. My homegirls kiddo, who's 14 now he gets some cool movie Transformers. And It felt way more solid then my Hasbro BB Prime. And the truck mode was gorgeous! Looked like the most accurate version of his truck imo. I remember wishing they used the dark for the shoulders when seeing it in pictures but in hand it's friggin perfect!

    Where can I get one?

    Looks great.

    If $120 is indicative of its resale value though, the I don't think I'll be hunting one down:

    Pre Order Transformers The Last Knight Limited Dark Optimus Prime Figure TAKARA | eBay

    Just makes me more annoyed with the deco they gave the regular voyager. They could've done the non-dark version with the same paint mask and it wouldn't have removed any desirability form this.
