Got one today for $26 with MP Sunstorm.

 

It still sucks, but I need the cab to plug into Trailer Force.

But as a figure itself, Voyager Classics Optimus is overrated garbage. Straight up. I have a hard time seeing what there would have been to get excited about 8 years ago. But now? It doesn't stand up to anything. As a representation of Optimus Prime, it is surrounded by figures released before and since that are far superior. You guys have 'Emperor's New Clothes' talked yourselves into believing it's great, but it isn't. It's ridiculous.

You're also forgetting this set came with Evasion Optimus, which IS actually a great toy.

 

Ooh, I'd like to see what he looks like in the DIA suit!

Really loving this version, I think out of all the decos over the years this may be my favorite, although I have yet to see the Cloud version in person and that looks great too. It's fun getting reacquainted with a toy that was superb when it came out and just as good so many years later. It's a little bittersweet because it's a reminder of how much more robust toys were built back then. :/

 

Anytime guys glad to be of service! First thing I did with Evolution Optimus Prime was swap his smooth chromey thighs (shades of SDCC Metroplex) onto my old KO Henkei Optimus (I'd have done the waist too but one of the screws broke off on Evolution Prime). Here he is with an ArtTek gun:



Although I like the newer figure very much (painted knees/toes, red paint on the lower cab instead of blue plastic, toy accurate yellow eyes very striking) in the end the old updated standby still won out a place in the display because of the blue light piped cartoon eyes, blue windshield, partially blue fists, painted windows on top of shoulders, TWO Autobot shoulder emblems, some reprolabels for his knees and just overall better quality, fit and finish (even for a KO).

That's why I held onto this bad boy from the now defunct kotoys.com "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up" - Ferris Bueller



And Evolution Prime's now lack of chrome thighs doesn't hurt him in vehicle mode displayed here with the chromed smokestacks/gun and the Fansproject trailer:

 

Will Hasbro release a Bumblebee in his classics form and movie form

 

They already did.

 

Yup. The classics one is Scout class, right?

 

Yeah, it was the movie deluxe and generations legends 2 pack.

 

Bumblebee (Evolutions Then) - Transformers Movie 4 Age of Extinction - TFW2005
Bumblebee (Evolutions Now) - Transformers Movie 4 Age of Extinction - TFW2005

 

Thanks Nevermore. Those are them.

 

Does the blue on this one match the FP trailer?

 

I feel it matches pretty well, out of all the Voyager Primes I have - just a shade darker than Classics Prime but not as dark as Henkei Prime (or at least my KO version).

 

Hmm, I think I like this one. Only downsides are the clear windows and I think the lack of paint on the roof, although I'm not sure how I feel about that. evasion prime will go in a junk bin.

 

That looks awesome! I'm going to order that trailer now that I have a figure to match it with.
