New Official Images of Ultimate Beast Hunters Optimus

interesting.... the sword especially

Omnidirectional firiing alt mode optimus?

David

That alt mode is rediculous looking. Just had to say it, even if I don't collect this line.

Damn, that death wheel isn't removable.

It just look weird without the jetpack on the truck, seeing how it covered a lot of his robot mode parts.

There really is no way to escape that that design just has Optimus limbs sticking out the back of it, is there?

Oh well. Prediking still looks like it'll be amazing, and it's more in-scale with the voyager Optimus anyway.

It looks like it has a very similar transformation, too. Fake grille-chest and all.

Yuck...

I can't see where that looks any better (or any different) than Voyager BH OP. other than that circular weapon and being bigger. And the wings on the Voyager, when folded in, help hide the joined arms and legs in alt mode. I kind of think this looks worse.

I agree. I prefer the Voyager to this.

The lower half of the alt-mode looks way too big and completely jacked up. It looks terrible.

Yeah, that's what I thought about when I first saw it, but couldn't put it to words.

And is it me, or is the shield "floating" on his forearm?

Except somehow worse. The initial leaked pictures from Toy Fair made it look like it might be really nice, but these images look awful. Alt mode is just a wadded up robot!

Oh well, if it sucks that's all to the good. Perfectly content with my BH Voyager Optimus, and that means I can keep more money to spend on MPs and 3rd Party stuff.

Great find! Can you please provide us with a link?

edit: nevermind

ugh barf

Remove that pin to remove it. If a 3rd party makes a better head for it I might get one and remove that insane wheel of death.

The fact that this has a simple transformation (simpler than the Voyager?) doesn't give me much hope that the Ultimate-class Predaking will be any more complex than its Voyager counterpart, either.

I mean, it's not Supreme Cheetor, but I really hate "big expensive TF's where all the bigness is just for lights and gimmicks, not a better transformation/look"

Yeah, not really feeling this at all. I'll stick with my voyager BH OP. Besides, something tells me it'll be the one that's in-scale with Ult. Predaking.

...Well at least he comes with a convenient carring handle.

IMHO, his weapons and unsightly kibble is more suited to being Prime: 'Alien Hunters' than Beast Hunters! Yeah, gonna stick to the Voyager Op anyways. I never buy Ultra-sized toys from the previous Prime RID line anyways.

I take back everything I ever said about this thing.

... it looks f***ing ridiculous.

Not going to lie, i saw this and literally burst out laughing.

The level of quality on this toy is laughable and evident from the incredibly cheap plastic look that everything has to it.

As shown in the robot mode the proportions on everything are wrong. The shield is barely the size of his leg, let alone his arm. The sword is massive and the 'hand hold' is small. The legs are massive compared to the rest of the body with the head looking miniscule due to the massive chest.

Pay more for a suckier version of the character? It's like Animated Supreme Optimus Prime all over again!

Oh, god. I'll reserve judgement until we get more info, but things aren't looking so good.

When the you-know-damn-well-what is this and Ultimate Predaking coming out?!? I can't wait!

Ugh! The head is really too small! And the green parts, yeccchhh! Takara better make those green parts black or I won't be getting this at all.

My goodness does he need a lot more paint.

What the hell is this

is he a float for Mardi Gras? where are the dancers?

Is it just me or does his sword looks like Zabuza's from Naruto?

Actually, i thought he looked like he has serious back kibble issues.

Judging by everyone's reactions, I guess I'm the only one here who badly wants this guy.

Also, when is he and Ultimate Predaking due to be released?

As others have said "Yuck",this Optimus has the third worst alt mode I have ever seen,next to Energon Prime,and Animated Roll Out Prime.They shoulda spent more time designing him if this is what we're gonna end up with.Way Easy Pass for me.

Wow do these beast hunters have some range on em, the designs go from "eh" to "geezus kill it with fire". This is the latter XD

I really hope the actual show designs aren't nearly as silly as the toys.

If this is anything to go by (especially compared to what was shown at the Toy Fair), things do not bode well for Ultimate Predaking.

OK can somebody please explain to me how did we get from this bad-ass figure:



To this junk:




Huh?


I get it that toys at ToyFair are better painted than what we later get at retail but come on! They look nothing alike.

The retail version looks like a KO of the figure from ToyFair.

I was really looking forward to this guy and now I'm very disappointed. I won't be buying it.

Well I suppose Hasbro wouldn't be Hasbro if they didn't have another giant shelf warmer for 2013. It's almost as if they're trying to make toys that nobody wants. Cheap looking, virtually no paint apps and laughable proportions; this thing is an absolute embarrassment.

I fully expect to see this guy clogging Toys R Us shelves everywhere while I struggle to locate even one MP Soundwave. It's good to know that Hasbro has their priorities straight.

It boggles me why they have the spikes on his chest when he won't have it in the tv show.

Even at Toy Fair I thought this seemed lacking.

Isn't this thing Target exclusive?

If he his, I stand corrected. He'll be clogging Target shelves instead.

I think I'm satisfied with the Voyager, whose truck mode looks the least "torso-on-wheels" of all the BH Optimii.

Jesus christ, those shins just don't end.

Been to a bar or a club where the lighting--or lackthereof--makes a chick look way better than she actually is? There you go.

I can't stop comparing it to this:

The figure itself looks well enough it's the accessories that are all over the place and garish to me.

It sure is ugly looking

Hideous. And unpainted.

Double-fail.

Utlimate? I thought Awful-timate starts with an A.

That looks bloody absurd.

This on the other hand is rather cool, almost ethereal and beautiful.
