Board member hailwind-0 has managed to get an image portraying the new Takara-Tomy Buster Optimus Prime from the Revenge toyline. The figure is based on the normal Leader figure but has added boosters and parts on his back, a gun that can be hand held or attached as seen in the movie, and a new head with an exposed mouth.

It costs MORE, hence it still has the swords, not difficult.

Just when we thought we had it all.
I knew hasbro / takara was pulling a fast one on us ( as usual ). The first toy having 2 swords and no gun had me suspicious.
Yea, i am a bit p_ssed, but hey, that's how they make their profit eh ?

We can hope.
The BIG question is does a final painted version exist yet?
I already know I'll get one if it's painted and chromed properly, and if on the other hand it ends up being pretty much the Prime I already have with a gun and a mouth I won't be getting it.
Malikon
damn that chromed truck mode looks freaking sweeeeeeet!

It's the Tokyo toy show next week from the 16th to the weekend so there's a good chance we'll get some more pics of this guy.

This bodes very well!!!!
Even if they don't add any more body paint this will be fantastic.
Some more red body paint and silver paint and this thing will be perfect!!!!

buster optimus prime(ROTF leader class update)
ow man! how about that! got my OP end of may. anybody who knows how to change his hands with the old 2007 leader OP? just saw a pix a week ago it looks awesome! i think everybody who owns the ROTF OP must have a problem with its fenders always popping out when in robot form. well i have the answer to that! just make sure that the truck bed and his gas tanks are well aligned and well placed. act like an autistic child ( if you know one! fortunately for me i know someone and he is a good kid!!! he always makes sure that everything is well aligned together. i love this kid genius so much!). when everything on his back(that's the v shaped wing and gas tanks) are aligned and tabbed properly. go look at him side view, and you can see the top of his backpack is in a straight line(when you look side view always imagine it like a square so that the pegs on his back will fit in nicely to the rear fenders don't get distracted by the slanting like position of the fender. once you get the right spot it will tab on firmly and play with him as long as you want! in truck mode make sure that the fenders are also well aligned and his 1st set of wheels(the 2 set of wheels nearest to the gas tanks) are popped out properly. if not, the fender will not sit in properly. and his 2nd set of wheels (rear part near the tail lights) have a little tab on top of the wheelbase(rectangular tab hardly noticeable on the top end of the wheelbase near the hinges). make sure that the tab on the top of the wheelbase( the hinged type swiveling arm that holds rear wheel ) and the inside tab of the fenders (male and female tab and hole hardly noticeable too, looks like a rectangular slot), you can see it underneath his rear fenders. make sure that both the wheelbase and the fenders are tabbed in properly. if tabbed or locked in correctly, the rear wheels are locked and will not pop out or do split like action. in truck mode the wheels should run very smooth on any kind of surface(i guess !! hehehe). if you don't understand my instructions just hit me up here and i will try to send a descent pix.

Hah, this is exactly the reason I held out on buying the first leader Prime. Still have to see how the final product will look, but I have a good feeling about this

So does he speak Japanese or English?
deceptifocus

Awesome! Buster Optimus Prime just transformed(Pun intented.) from a maybe to a MUST BUY. I am sure glad that I passed on the first version, now if TakaraTOMY doesn't announce an Optimus Prime + JetFire giftset by this November, I am going to buy this one.

the only thing im not liking is the open face. everything else is pure win.

Deluxe version will have chrome plating? So does this mean this is the gonna be the premium version with chrome? Maybe the blaster will be chrome too?
You know even if both the current and premium version are missing paint apps, reprolabels will make the missing apps anyway.

So it will come with colour similar to this (borrow RHALX's pic of MA-21 aka Takara Premium OP)
At least the feet will be shining!

as others said i can't see hasbro releasing this and keeping the leader pricepoint without removing paint. and with little of prime painted other than flames as it is, i can see the robot mode being harshly underpainted

Well who didn't see this coming after the trailers reveal Prime shooting the balast in the trailers? I figured it would come in a premium package, which this hasn't confirmed yet. It's nice to see Prime with a mouth too, that I did not see. It'd be nice if it came with a faceplate I think it's necessary for Power up mode.
I have bought any figured yet anticipating Premiums. It was hard at first, but I know how pissed I'd be if I had bought the first waves and then seen this come along. I'm glad I waited. I'm sure premiums will be in the works and won't be surprised if Buster Prime has amazing paint apps.
