Animated Optimus Prime - Deluxe Cybertron Mode vs. Deluxe Battle Damaged Earth Mode

[Robzy]

Bad news folks.... Earth Mode Voyager Prime is disappointing.

Pros
* His face is great. He has the drop down mouth shield which I thought would look weirder than it does with his face exposed, but it's cool.
* He can hold Deluxe Earth Mode Prime's axe which is a good look.
* He can wield an axe with both hands like the deluxes

Cons
* His axe just plain sucks.
* He can't bend at the knees or thighs more than 15 degrees or so.
* His head can only swivel and the plate it's attached to swivels with it which is a bit weird

Granted, I've only spent about 15 minutes with the figure so far.

Cheers! I was pretty much aware of all your Pros and Cons already (except for the knees issue!), but I think I'm still going to get him! He looks like he displays well!

I prefer 2-pack Prime's transformation and how his truck mode looks. But do like the size of Voyager and how the mask works.

I don't like voyager prime's weird axe thing. . . .

The only thing preventing me from buying the two pack is the fact that deluxe megatron just looks so cheap and nasty. I would get it for prime though.
Hmm hopefully sales will make it cheaper

That Megatron's actually not bad. I think it's actually better than the Voyager one. It'd be better with a decent size and good head sculpt of course.

I agree in that it's better than the Voyager, but that doesn't make it "good"

...I wanna get the Voyager because it appears to be the "least suckiest" of all the Animated Primes that I've seen on offer.

The Deluxe one turns me right off with that battle damage.
RollOut Command version looks like a huge WAFTAM.
...Voyager wins by default.

*sigh*

I just know that they'll release a clean version of the Deluxe mould after I get the Voyager.

Ive only got the BD mode prime ( from the 2 pack) I like it better from the Cyb mode version - seen Gok's toy up close and in youtube review. Also its got a bigger better axe. At first I thought the BD will tick me off but it doesn't.... I call him Venom Prime now that he's displayed among the other primes in the collection - his BD reminds me of the symbiote that has infected spiderman which later becomes Venom's costume. Thanks goodness its black and not that flouro pink Megsy has! Im still going to buy the voyager version - earth mode if only for the proper sizing. Just like I'm holding out for the bigger Bulkhead.
