Eh, will have to see the Voyager Prime in person before I jump. The other two are a very easy pass for me though.
The voyager looks like they did a mash up of movie line Optimus voyager and Prime. The feet is what looks like they just did a remold to me. Hate to say it but it looks like a knock off of a Transformer product. Doesn't even seem to have the same art style from the show. Only if they could have mixed Regular Prime mold with the Ultra Magnus one. It looks cheap.
I'm hoping the Voyager is Mistransformed, because his wheels are just hanging in the back while his Cyberverse uses them well, also the cyberverse has a much nicer paint scheme, but that can be addressed. I'm hoping someone at Reprolabels is already forming ideas. All in all I think it's a marked improvement and great that Optimus will be getting a whole new body.
Optimus looks certainly interesting. His alt mode is obviously based on the flatnose truck from G1.Cybertron,and Animated without question but given the Mad Max treatment. The robot mode is a cross between the Animated and Prime Optimus with hints of Cybertron thrown into it. Though he is wearing a faceplate because he looks like he isn't. I also wonder if that's the Star Saber in his hand. What I find most interesting is that out of all the Autobots in the line Optimus is the one with the new mold which actually does hint of him returning with that look on the show. If that's the case then that's cool because it makes sense due to what happened to him in the season 2 finale. He needs a form of upgrade and rebuilding and having a new form like the Beast Optimus is the way to go. Overall I'm actually looking forward to this figure and he does make a good repaint/retool of a DOTM styled Megatron too.
It remindes me a little of the Animated Role Play Optimus Prime gun/Firetruck in vehicle mode and a little of that Bull-dumptruck thing that never got released. The colours do it not favours (The voyager) Its a bit in your face red and green looks a bit like an apple on wheels. Not horrible - but not as neat as Bee or Jackie are. it maybe a toy like Soundwave that should have been terrific but they screwed it up a little bit by using tasteless colours. The Cyberverse Predaking is a pile of garbage though (never repaint it never re-release it - well alright you can make a Cryotech Colour one but other than that 'kill it with fire'). Cyberverse Prime is quite nice he's got a nicer more muted colour pallet that makes him more appealing to me. BTW I've been racking my brains that missing Voyager Optimus has looks really familiar any ideas what it looks very much like ? Am I the only one though who's been thinking they'd rather of had a Striker-prime like upgrade to the existing design rather than the one we got ? I can imagine Weaponizer optimus covered in spikes would have look bitchin... but this design in a bigger size is going to look - mearly "OK". Oh and neither of those Optimus toys have a decent head either.
I'll wait until I see inhand images of Voyager Optimus Prime first, but I'm liking what I see so far.
This is the kind of crazy Optimus look I dig. He still has a cape, but at least it's filled out with the wheels, and can apparently fold back.
He sort of looks like The Optimus Prime from the Fall of Cybertron video game. I wonder if this was intentional?
It's sort of odd but amusing that Optimus looks so much like the Rescuebots one with Spikes on it. Like Optimus' sword though - I expect if they make a Deluxe version it will look much better with that as they always make the swords suitable for the size below that which they come with or in the case of Weaponizer Prime his gun is the thing that fits perfectly on the next size down toy and is far to small for him. This Voyager Optimus' sword is way to small I bet the actual sword is a monster one on the TV show. Terrible shame the Voyager has those hideous gappy clip on wheels though. something for the Shapeways crowd to fix with some gap fillers me thinks. P.S. I think that the Cyberverse Optimus looks a bit like a Beast Machines ATV drone/ Stryka.
It's certainly an...interesting re-design for Optimus. Nice to see the return to a flat-nose truck, with hints of Ani, G1 and Cyb thrown in. He reminds me of Star Convoy in robot mode a bit too. Shame there isn't as much of an Optimus Primal/Primal Prime homage as the Kreo set looked to be. Oh well. It looks alright (assuming it's mistransformed)...but that green...no, just no. The CV versions of both look purchasable, but I agree that Predaking needs a Cryotek repaint NAOW!
