I'm looking forward for clear HD pictures of that 2007 Leader Optimus.
Even though the toy is flawed and not movie accurate at all, it's a great toy by itself and well worth owning.
Honestly, any collector who don't own the mold already should consider this release. Merely for the added pizazz of a special edition.

I'm glad this figure's getting a bit more love. It's not really movie-accurate, but it's still great. This is the one that got me back in the game after mistakenly thinking that I was too old for such things. I have definitely changed my tone now.
The robot's pretty cool but the truck is just so solid and heavy. It's awesome.

It should have been sold this way in the first place. Do i dare say double dipping or triple dipping? These transformers should have been sold in their premium versions right out the gecko and Optimus Prime should always be sold with a trailer. Its crazy that the trailer is being sold separately on certain versions and by third party vendors. I stopped buying transformers years ago being we are getting the shaft nowadays and the high expense is phenomenal.

Fellow Seibertronian MaverickPrime has alerted us to a review of the Transformers Tribute Optimus Prime & Orion Pax Evolution pack! The set features the deluxe War for Cybertron Optimus Prime with a new deco, and a unique version of Orion Pax: A retool of Titans Return Kup! Chefatron's review itself has comparisons between Optimus Prime to the original version of the mold, and Orion Pax with Animated Cybertron Mode Optimus Prime and Thrilling 30 Orion Pax.

I don't really agree.
Ok, it's absolutely not screen accurate. At all.
But it's his only issue. As a toy, it's a good toy, from the ratchet joints era, which doesn't feel hollow at all etc.
It's not like it's the first time we get a good toy not screen accurate.

Why?
He's not 100% screen accurate sure but he's a decent toy for what he was back in 2007.
Maybe not $89.90 decent but still well worth a regular purchase. $40 to $50 bucks worth easily.

That Leader Prime is the only Movie Prime I own (well, OK, I have EMOP, but...) and while I'm not a movie fan, I adore that toy. It is a cool symbol of the switch in design from the Cybertron line to the first movie toys. It's design carry's over so many things that make the Cybertron toys great toys.
It may not seem great to the die hard movie fans, but if you are a fan of how well designed toys are made, it's a magnificent toy.

There's more! Directly from the floor at San Diego Comic Con 2017, site owner Seibertron is providing us images of the display area at the Hasbro booth - featuring so far some older reveals from existing toylines. In this post, we cover the Transformers Tribute toyline! Covering 'evolutions' in old design and new, featuring older and newer incarnations of the same character, we see the likes of Optimus Prime in his 2007 Leader class toy (but nothing on the deluxe 2pack we have already seen in stores).
These are only the initial images, of course, expect the full Seibertron.com treatment as the event continues across the weekend, with more toy images, the Hasbro Breakfast Press event Thursday morning, panel coverage on Friday and Saturday, and follow-ups with official images and more!

While we do have a video review for this set - from the Transformers Tribute toyline - fellow Seibertronian ExciKaiser has been nice enough to acquire a set and provide a pictorial review of the two versions of Orion Pax / Optimus Prime, both reusing previous molds, but only one with some changed details! Find out more below.
ExciKaiser wrote:Mailman just delivered them :
Not sure if the box picture is still necessary as everybody has saw it, but..
The Two guys together.
It's really a strange set. One of the most detailled and complex Generation Deluxe, with ... ok not the worse, but at least the most simplistic looking and less detailled of TR line.
They don't match at all.
Time for comparison with their counterparts :
VS T30th Orion Pax :
So in the end ?
I initially planned to resell the WFC Prime as I already had the original.
Except now I have it, I think I'll keep it. I can't choose which one is the best. I like the more vivid colors, as well as the neon blue instead of neon pink.
It's the same conflict as between the orginal Supercon armada Prime and the Galaxy force vivid repaint.
For Orion Pax, I decided to prefer him to Kup because of the head before even buying it.
Now I got it, I'm a bit deceived by this head (the T30th was more detailled aven if smaller), but it's still far better from the Kup's one.
The plastic remains the same, whic means this strans porous-looking cheap plastic. Strange considering the WFC got the same high grade plastic as the first release.
And he is as floppy as Kup..
Oh and if you need one more reason to prefer Orion instead of Kup :

I think the Prime definitely looks better than the original release. The Pax just looks awful to me. No redeeming features whatsoever.
I think I'm tempted to buy it if cheap just to have a look at how the Prime transforms as I've not played with that mold and am curious and dunno if I'd keep it or sell it on. I'd just sell the Pax right away.

In fact, that's it, since my post/review, the new one replaced the original on my shelves.
He is correct compared to other titans return.
Not the best, but correct.
Putting him on the same box was really unfair. Even the FOC prime for the same era would look bad next to the WFC.

Yeah the newer one just has better contrast with that bolder red and darker grey particularly on the chest. That appeals to me much more.
I don't really like the Kup figure as is though the Takara one fixes a lot of the issues I have with it such as the arms.

Not the best, but correct.
Putting him on the same box was really unfair. Even the FOC prime for the same era would look bad next to the WFC.
I don't really like the Kup figure as is though the Takara one fixes a lot of the issues I have with it such as the arms.

Of all the things that were chosen from the cartoon model of Orion Pax to incorporate into this figure, it was the cartoon model's kissy lips.

I have my set ordered and it should be getting to me tomorrow! 
Times like this do make me miss Fun Pub and the Ask Vector Prime segments. This two pack is a continuity curiosity, and I would love to be able to get an official answer on which fiction these figures are intended to belong to. My collection display depends on it!

These are technically his G1 incarnation since the back of the box calls him a data scientist and both it is supposed to show his evolution (as said in the back). So yeah, this is G1 Prime.

It's weird, since not only do we have different design ethics behind the two; we have very different colour schemes and hues as well -- making it all the more harder to believe they're from the same universe.

Maybe Prime asked drift for a paintjob to represent his changed state of mind.

Or if you mean IDW G1, that Orion wasn't a data clerk either. He was a cop.
Only Aligned Orion was a data clerk.

That wasn't G1 Orion Pax's occupation, though. G1 Orion was a dock worker in the cartoon.william-james88 wrote:Lore Keeper wrote:I have my set ordered and it should be getting to me tomorrow!

I want both Kup and Orion Pax. To bad both will NEVER show up in any of my local stores.
