Looks like Voyager Classics Optimus and Voyager Evasion with more blue (and a visor). I like it.

Looks like Classics Prime doesn't come with his smokestacks. edit Wait, wait, there it is in the box.

I only want Classics Prime

Halves?
I only want the Evasion mode :)

I think that's a poor choice for the Optimus 2-pack, as the "now" Optimus is more "then" than the Classics Optimus, particularly in truck mode... they should have used the TF3 Voyager truck (since there isn't a nose-cab Voyager in TF4).

At least the TF2 "Leader for the Ages" 2-pack had two toys that resembled the two eras (80s & Movies).

Given that Hasbro haven't actually used anything even vaguely G1 related for any of these packs, I have to say that the fact that the robot and vehicle modes are sort of switched as to which is then and which is now actually comes across as a nice touch.

This is a very desirable set for me. I have been wanting a version of Evasion Mode Optimus Prime, but have been a bit reluctant about the standard Voyager. This gives me an alternate deco, plus a deco for Classics Optimus Prime I don't actually have anymore, having customised mine into Thunderclash (I also have Ultra Magnus and Nemesis Prime).

Unfortunately, with no local TRU and the probability that if it ever does appear on the website they'll send me the Silver Knight Optimus Prime couple with a Tonka truck instead of what I actually want, I may need some help getting hold of this pair. :(

Is that Classic Prime with Chrome? or it's just silvery paint?

Both. Looks like the only chrome is on the bumper and grille.

That movie one looks sooo crap up against the classics. Easy pass......thank god.....more money saved!

The flames on the new Movie Prime look a little odd in Alt/Truck Mode.

Lol, yeah... these "Evolution" packs feel like Hasbro's attempt at emulating what TakaraTOMY did during Dark of the Moon with Transformers Chronicle (http://static.seibertron.com/images/toys/files/153/r_g1-optimus-prime-034.jpg), only totally missing the point about G1. :p Okay, admittedly G1 Grimlock's not easily feasible since they don't have an existing reissue mould on hand; but they could've easily picked a better mould than Energon Grimlock (Classics Grimlock would've been a better choice IMHO), and we all know that the G1 Optimus Prime reissue mould is definitely still available!

What about his thighs?

The flames on the new Movie Prime look a little odd in Alt/Truck Mode.

And the grill is not even fully painted. Half is silver and the other half is Hasbro grey.:confused:

4 red cabs are nice, but I think it's time for a movie deco now

[griffin]

Yeah... where's the white version that we have as the character art on the box... and in the Trailers.

The same place as all the movie/G1 coloured Dinobots are... chilling with Silver Knight Optimus Prime, being almost completely Hasbro grey. I'm sorry, but that's what you'd get from a "movie" colour scheme version of any of these toys. I for one am glad Hasbro have decided to produce toys that aren't so drab.

Like I said, there's no way that hasbro put THS mold onto this pack, it's way too expensive, rather milk some money on the popular mold.
however, this will be a great alternative to that pricey classic and henkei version.

btw, any pre order yet? i think i need another classic mold in my collection
