    Man, that looks MUCH better than that Battle Blades thing (it's just there, that Transformation doesn't work with Voyager side and budget, ended up being a weird jumbled chest with tiny and thin bird legs/ugly feet sculpt and blocky ugly arms, not to mention terrible swords and even lamer looking guns).

    The only thing it needs is a bit more of paint, but that's hard to expect from first wave movie toys.

    Prime's got extended legs because Megatron is going to be a bigger dude in DOTM. So, we understand the reason for this redesign.

    I can't say I'm too thrilled about this toy interpretation though, but I guess it looks decent. The altmode does have nice turbo booster vibe to it now.

    Good blending of action and tech. Glad their not just repainting the battle blades prime voyager and trying something new. The energy panels on the gun do tip off some kind of design change. Admittedly the sleeker chest design and bulkier legs draw your attention away from the head, So it can appear that its not a practical design compared to previous movie Optimus iterations.
    I think the proportions work in a more heavy metal war machine sense.

    Looking forward to posing it, without all the crazy swords in the way this may be the best movie prime yet. Spring loaded weapons instead of electronics. No missiles to loose and A good scale with the new megatron.

    Sorry but I cannot understand this logic... no pun intended.
    If Megatron is going to be bigger then by all means why not only extend legs?
    Of all the advancement they can only extend their legs? Why not include the pecker : )
    Why not bumblebee extend his legs too so he can be as tall as to whomever he is supposed to fight.
    Sorry but I myself cannot agree with this logic.
    My take is that sometimes you reach the ceiling of ideas and you simply cannot outdo your every creation. I mean it has to stop at some point. I think the designers have reached just that and they are back to square 1. Just my two cents.

    It is about movie onscreen logic. Megatron's body consists of the truck cab & trailer together.
    Prime'll have a trailer, but from the looks of it, his robot mode won't include the cab & the trailer together, but somehow they need to even the scales out a bit. Otherwise Megs will dwarf Prime entirely onscreen.

    Hence, these space booster add ons are what makes Prime's robot mode taller.

    i think this image is alot better than the original pics we have seen i like the paint detail for the chest and the gun is saawweeetttttttt!
    things i don't like
    -i cant stop looking at the movie 1 bonecrusher face that makes up his chest, i ddon't know why i see it but i just cant unsee it now
    -his parachute pant style big arse legs bother me (granted he is tall and slender, just looks unproportioned for some reason
    -his backpack jetpack/blaster things look like vibrators

    I haven't bought a voyager Prime yet, and this probably won't be the first- but this picture does make him look much better.

    I have no idea if I'll be getting any/many toys from this line or not. So far leader BB is the most interesting thing I've seen. Ironhide is very nice (except for the apparent giant hole in the bed of his truck if seen from above), but redundant. Don't know if I'll get him or not.

    I'm on the fence about the pictures I've seen so far of the wrecker and the dread (although I'm slightly more impressed with the wrecker).

    Time will tell.

    Man from a collectors stand point, a lot of these new figures look really bad. That being said, they do look like a lot of kids will have fun with them which is great and at the end of the day we have already received the greatest movie Optimus toy ever in the ROTF line.
