Thanks to an Amazon Japan update on their product page for Takara AA-01 Battle Blades Optimus Prime, we've got new images of the figure. The old Voyager Movie Prime mold can now be thrown out the window, as this figure looks to be the real deal. He comes with dual guns, dual melee weapons and a big surprise, the movie-verse Matrix! Check out the images below!

is that what that Bioncle head looking thing is meant to be? a Matrix? I thought it was a pic of Prime getting attacked by one of those Constructicons. Still, cool that they're making a version of Prime with all his gimmicks for movieverse fans.

Is it me or does this Prime look cheaply made? or maybe its the lighting in the photos or something to that effect, but i do like the Matrix gimmick, but after i picked up Go Green Starscream, ROTF line is dead too me now.

Looks good, except I hope this is a prototype. Otherwise, I'll pass until the next repaint

by **RiddlerJ** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 8:07 am

Does he come with Sam's sock to store the Matrix in?

I want to like it, I really do. Why's he look so... boring? Where is the deco?

I wish the Matrix was painted. The grey looks really dull too. If this is the official and not the prototype, Ill just paint it myself! Or unless they release a movie accurate repaint the day they release this one. I just hope he combines with Leader Jetfire and his guns shoot projectiles!

EPIC FRAGGING WIN!!!! though I have one small problem.......his legs are to thin and they are spaced apart to far and his feet are to small!!! oh and his swords arent even hidden. There in plain sight!! :evil:

hopefully this is a prototype otherwise I'll get the other voyager prime.

Holy back kibble. I don't see much stability in 'bot form. Bummer.

it was the housing scheme on his back I was more worried about, but I'm glad you've only got one problem.

Well, now that's kinda cool...too bad he looks so plain though. Needs about 75% more paint apps.

I dunno what to do about this. It's cool, but I'm tired of buying different versions of the same character over and over.

by **Kryptikore** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 9:59 am

I realy truely appreciate their attempt at this! I want to buy it, but... The back kibble and overall aesthetics. It's a bit top heavy! If a premium version came out I would buy it without question!

by **brawl569** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 10:13 am

hmmmm i think il get him

and as for my leader prime well he can keep combined with jetfire ;D

News Credits: 1 · by **tobuttica** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 11:11 am

I'd like to see someone paint him orangish so he can be a movieverse Huffer. I think he looks cool. Looks a lot more like Leader prime than that goofy other mold that is good as Magnus, or Nemesis, but not as Prime. I will get this if he's on sale, or clearance. Right now I'm content with my badass Leader.

Why are people complaining so much about the back kibble? Aside from the trailer hitch, it's pretty close to the Leader version...which I thought was very screen accurate, was it not? :-?

I'm more bothered by the ugly gold plastic bits on the legs...

by **Iacon sentry** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 12:11 pm

The garbage man will believe Transformers are invading when he sees all the useless voyager primes. I love it, the matrix is a nice touch, needs some chrome paint to top it off. I am dissapointed about the hands, the truck hood covers them. It semms the panels don't slide back as they old the guns in place. However...

Matix+Swords(nicely painted)+both hand guns= Win

by **Dinoswipe** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 12:16 pm

i dont know if i should get it i wish they had a matrix to sell seperate though this toy is jyust another gimmicmk for hasbro to make money
its looks like leader op but he gets more crap thats how hasbro gets our monet

by **Alex Jones** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 12:57 pm

Hard to imagine that this a Voyager class considering the complexity of the Leader class version. I am definitely getting this

by **SLUGSLINGER81** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 1:26 pm

WTF...this is the mold we should have gotten from the beginning...but then again Hasbro would of milked this mold just as much as the first Voyager Prime... :BANG_HEAD:
