Toy Review - Age of Extinction voyager Evasion mode Optimus Prime

Does he work with any of the movie prime trailers that have been released?
I don't have any of them, but it'd be a nice gesture if it did!

I was thinking about that earlier today, but it doesn't appear to be compatible with any Prime trailers that I'm aware of, although I don't have the DotM Voyager Prime w/ trailer.

two things were super bugging me about this (aside from the paint XD ) - the bit with the fake smoke stacks in robot mode that makes the bottom of the grill in truck mode is always sitting at an angle and not flat, and the windows didn't quite line up, so i did a little mod!



cutting that little stopper type piece back a little bit where i drew the black square fixes it, so now it folds up super flat and YAY, BONUS, the other grill piece can go in a little further now and the windows line up perfectly with no other mods!



its so square and aligned and perfect now

Nice, I might try it :-)

I've just been having so much fun with this toy for the past 3 days! More piccies.

I got mine yesterday, really good. Only problem is mine has a really loose right arm elbow joint. The joints been designed so well I have no idea how to take it apart to tighten it :/
Edit: Problem fixed, I used some thin red sewing string of the same color and wound it into the joint, tied a knot and bam tighter joint and you cant even see the string and didnt have to take the arm apart. Might be a useful tip if anyone else has the same problem.

The only toy I'm keeping from the aoe line up thus far. His transform is fun! But it's also cheating that this prime has a separate chest AND grill for bot mode xD, but yeah it's kinda hard to get the g1 cab looking like movie prime without cheating or extremely fiddly bits.

What's going on in that last one, is he the Amazing Spider-Prime now?

It's like Thelma and Louise only better

I don't think anyone commented on this, so i'm quoting it cause i made the alteration and now i'm really pleased with Prime's windows aligning properly!

I got the Takara version and i have to say i'm really impressed. The paint work has no faults, the plastic feels better than i expected, and his joints are tight all over.

It's really only got a few more paint apps over the Hasbro version, but it makes a world of difference. I think the transformation is excellent and love the concept of turning the G1 vehicle into the new movie Prime. Now, when i have both G1 Prime & Evasion Prime in alt mode on the shelf, it's almost like "which one's which?" He's truly a master of disguise!

My only complaint is his gun looks a bit naff in his hand - strangely a bit like how G1 Prime's also sits higher than his fist, so maybe it's intentional! I think my favourite aspect of this toy is how slender he looks with no obtrusive kibble and a great front and side profile.
