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

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I must admit that I like this battle damage more than any other. Normally I can't stand BD on any figs, its just lame, but (this applies more to Megs than Prime) the BD on the toys looks fairly close to how its animated in the cartoon.
I think that it should be a Cybertron mode prime in the box as hes cyb mode in the cartoon.

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.

thanks, makes my decsion to not get it more valid, cheers!

if my spelling is off its due to the fact I'm posti via the PS3. It sucks.

reckon there should have been a poll option for getting all 3.....

*cough cough* Considering I dropped it off at ur place at 2 and u started playing w/ it at 3ish that's a terribly long 15 minutes.

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.

[sifun]

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"
