Xovergen Releasing Retooled Transformers Classics Optimus Prime for TrailerForce TF01

Not only is Xovergen releasing a kit to make your Transformers Classics/Henkei Optimus Prime compatible with their Powermaster TrailerForce TF-01 upgrade set, but they are planning on releasing a completely retooled Classics/Henkei prime figure that will work with both their new Powermaster figure and the Generation 1 Powermaster figures as well! Despite the figure being heavily retooled I do not think it will affect the look of the robot mode as the kibble should just rotate to the back as it does on the original Classics/Henkei mold.

Just to provide a visual:



It's basically ball jointed feet, that thing on the grill, and a new bumper.

Also, if you don't know what we're talking about look here:

If they are doing a complete retool, then make it have an openable chest compartment with removable matrix.

The only retool of this mold I would be interested in is one that re-locates the enormous arm panels.

Are they really looking to release a modified KO or just simply offer replacement parts for your existing fig?

I think nobody has figured it out yet. These pictures are old, actually, they were shown BEFORE the recent ones where we can see what appears to be a henkey OP KO made to accomodate the powermaster figure.

Having to use a shitty KO Prime for this = Bullshit.

Seems an odd choice to design armor around an existing figure, then sell it with a KO of that figure. I get that it might expand their potential customer base, but then why even stick with the Classics Voyager design at all? (Unless previous design decisions forced their hand of course).

Still, I thought I knew what this product was (posable PM trailer for Classics/Henkei OR G1 Optimus) and now it's just a weird, line-blurring thing.
Dammit, just shot a Voyager Predaking missile whoknowswhere. Can anyone spare one?
