etoyshunter was kind enough to share a gallery with us. The images are of the upcoming Optimus Prime toy from the
Transformers Movie line. This version of Optimus Prime is the Voyager Class size. The first few pictures include the "Cowboy" driver which is reminiscent of Optimus Prime's fan-favorite voice actor,
Peter Cullen. Click on the thumbnails below to view larger images.

I just hope they actually read feedback and see that the paint apps on the head need to be tweaked a bit and it would be a really great figure.

Too much grey, needs more crome finishes to jazz it up a bit. I think I'll be picking this one up eventually.
I do also agree that he looks much better then Megs though er Craptron.

The little flip-down Peter Cullen is an amusing, totally unnecessary (as in they didn't have to do it) and superb little gimmick.
Osiricon- at present count, there's the Protoform, Leader, Voyager, Deluxe (which we haven't seen yet but there are computer listings for it), LOC, Fast Action Battler, Cyber Stomper, Unleashed and probably others that I've forgotten or we haven't seen yet. Ooh- also Optimash and Softimus Primes. So... eleven so far. Better than the 87 different versions of Spider-man currently invading the Toys'r'us I work at.

Other then the look of the head, I think the over all look of it is very pleasing. I really like the weapons included as well. Of course, the "tip of the hat" to Cullen is fine and dandy too. Pun intended of course.

That figure looks cool. Ive been saying it the movie toys are going to be the best thing about the movie. Even if you like primes look just display the truck mode. The alt mode is the best part.

The proportions (minus the backpack) seem better that the Leader Class. With some touched up paint, this guy could be really awesome.

Well, he does look better than the Leader Class figure, but the face, and the fact that they didn't vacuum metalize the chrome parts, put me off this figure.
The huge backpack is nothing new.
Would have been nice if they would have molded the trailer hitch to be functional for all the kitbashers.

Being such a long-standing fan, I've been a skeptic about the movie and the drastic changes to the characters & toy line... but this is truly a nice looking toy. Might cave in to get this one.

Yessum, it is. I think it's a cute name that invites parents to buy something that would usually be associated with mild violence.

I agree, make him look like Energon Barricade. Mind you, I do enjoy E-Barricade.

If you guys hate the backpack, then you must hate G2 Laser Prime because he has a similar backpack.

The front of the cab is basically unused. So theoretically, this design could be adapted to Prime's traditional cabover semi. Kitbashes, anyone?

(spent the last 15 minutes drooling profusely)
The thing i look forward to in each new line isn't necessarily the rehashed characters and cheesy cartoons, it's the excitement of seeing new designs and watching some of the fans crap themselves in disgust. I guess I'm not a true Geewunner because I didn't want Welker for Megs, really didn't mind the movie redesigns, and am really excited about the movie. Needless to say, this mold (and subsequent pants-crapping by some of the fandom) has me very happy. I love the fact that we're seeing the most original and creative designs in the line in years. I definitely give this mold an A...looks fantastic, good poseablity, and it caused significant pants-crapping. The flip-down Peter Cullen is a major perk...now here's an interesting question. Will PC actually be playing the holographic driver of Prime in the movie? This makes me wonder...

Butt ugly face, eyes are a bit strange, just like the in movie, and yes I hope you can remove the "backpack", but it's alright. Its seems to pose quiet nicely. I don't see the flames too much, which is ok in my book.
I do hate the movie designs, but I'll buy Prime for sure.

Lots of primes with this line, aren't there? I could get voyager class though; it's a much better figure than the leader class version is.

I like this Voyager Prime alot more than the Leader Prime figure. I think with some adjustments to the paint apps it can be a great figure. Either they do that or I do that

Something like that. They want to make Prime available in every price point so they make different toys for each price point.
However The transformation for Bendy Prime was almost exactly like that of the larger Prime.
In this case, Movie Voyager sized Prime has a slightly different transformation (reason why the cab is hanging from the back) than Leader class Optimus. This guy also does not have lights and sounds. However Leader Class Prime doesn't have the Cullen cowboy driver.
Leader class Prime rear view (no cab hanging from the back).
They are really different except in what they transform into.

Well this finalized it for me. The Leader Class Prime is the definite winner in my book.
That backpack of his is too much. I realize the LC version has one as well, but that's just shellformer-iffic.

A long time ago, someone who I forget wrote "I bet all those fine details on the movie bots are just going to get etched on the usual block style toys"
Who ever you are, good call!
I can't say I'm suprized you're right. It's just you called it first, and it's stuck with me as so many of the movie toys proved your point. This Optimus is no differnt.
That don't mean I don't like him though!
Outside of needing some paint, I like the smoke stacks, I didn't at first, but seeing them with the ability to mount on the shoulders realy makes me like them.
However it does bring up the fact that I wish he had a third gun, simple reason, it would look cooler.
To qoute Energon Optimus, "you can never have to many weapons"

For being a cheater, this does a really good job of capturing movie Prime's robo-self. I'm not a fan of the paint job or the fact that his waist articulation looks "meh" at best.

Wow, just wow. I am going to be getting both versions of Prime, but this version is by far my favorite. That thing just kicks so much. I am definetly looking forward to the entire toy line, especially this figure.

One more thing, I hope they make a Megatron with a tiny Welker, so I can make the two fight then find whatever figures I can of past charecters they voiced and have them all beat it out.
Have Curious George beat up on Volton's castle and everything!
I don't think Ol' Pete vs Dr. Archevil would be a very good match, and thats all I'd have without Welker.
No offense to Hugo.

This is not very impressive at all. Face, paint, colors, backpack, no trailer, not even a hitch, etc. Certainly wouldn't consider picking this up.

his hands and arms look burnt and emaciated...other than that, i think the design is pretty sleek. it's a tall and young looking prime.

I'm really not a fan of that backpack, but like someone else already said, since it is pretty much the entire front of the truck, maybe it can be kitbashed off to give a more traditional truck mode too...

Loos good, but where's the paint? If this is the final product, it's really under-painted.
I mean, I remember reading that the reasoning behind those ugly flames was to put more red and blue contrast in Prime's upper body, but with this figure he's like 80% grey with a little red here and there on his chest.
If they ruin Prime with flames only to underpaint his robot mode... then what the hell was the point of the flames in the first place?
