Toy Review - GEN-15 VOY Optimus Prime (combiner)

[Omega Metro]

Robot mode is just beautiful! Alt mode is just garbage.

[Dimi194]

Big fan of both modes!

Robot gives Prime a new look, but I really like it (imagine him with an Energon axe... oh yes!), and the huge ratchets on the leg don't bother me too much as the waist swivel compensates for that.

I actually really like the truck mode-it's different but again goes with that bulky theme from robot mode.

Worst part is the open chest of Ultra Prime-it really needs some paint in there or a legends figure...

I just keep the chest closed in combined mode. Will make for a different looking figure than Menasor when he arrives

[liegeprime]

Hmm Just got mine and am not feeling the bot mode... nor the vehicle mode... dunno.... feels too boxy

Still think the mold makes a better Motormaster.

Still think the mold makes a better Motormaster.

I think that was the point... it was designed to be Motormaster for the Combiner theme, and someone at Hasbro thought, what if we do the reverse of turning Legends Optimus into Motormaster and see if this Motormaster can be done as Optimus.
When that happened, they probably thought Optimus would have a better chance of selling if it was released first so that it didn't look like the recolour, or they just wanted the bigger name released first.

For me though, the truck mode doesn't fit either character. When I transformed Optimus into a truck, the red section looks like it has two fronts to it. Both front and back are rounded and have panels that look like windshields.

I don't own one but the painted windscreen is offputting.

honestly for 50 dollars i'll buy a fourth classics prime. I have no use for a combiner torso
