    Whatever man, they do share some parts, look at the legs for both Primes. Megatron's mold looks like the voyager shrunken down and simplified, and new remolded parts in certain areas. If they were brand new molds altogether, they would share nothing.

    I don't believe a mold can be used to produce a "shrunken down" figure. Pretty sure you have to create a new mold. Further, I just can't see any way these two Megatrons share any parts:

    Also, from this post at actoys, I've gotta say the OPs' situation is the same:

    I still don't understand why cybertron Prime's axe forms a trailer hitch if he has no trailer, unless it's just for the sake of incorporating it somehow. If that's the case and they wanted it to blend well, what the hell were they thinking with deluxe earth mode Prime's axe in alt mode?

    Haha, a great idea, but not one befitting our noble hero.

    Total Win. Animated maybe the first line I complete. Although I wonder if we'll ever get Optimus mysterious disappearing trailer that he sometimes has????

    :lol  @ Jarodimus e-smack! :lol 

    TFA's Voyager Earth Mode Prime's pics just confirm what I've suspected all along ... that I'll buy all three versions.

    QFMFT!

    A shrunken down version (like Energon's Voyager Megs vs. Leader Megs) would still require their own steel molds, so it's technically not a remold.

    IMO 2-Pack TFA's Earth Mode Prime does share some parts with TFA's Deluxe Cybertron Mode Prime, but the amount of new parts certainly seem to be more than that mythical 75-80% (or was it 60%?) of the figure's parts so as to qualify as new tooling.

    I seem to be more into the Iron Man figures than the animated line. To each his own.
