    Default Evolution of Optimus 2-Pack Reveal

    https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...6627000&type=1

    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.

    Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.

    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.

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

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