From the images, we can confirm that Jetfire will be the new repainted version, as the main difference in colour spotted on his body.
As for Buster Optimus Prime, seems like Takara Tomy giving the collectors a choice by putting the mouth plate back to Optimus! This shall satisfy the need of the fans that dislike the previous version of Buster Optimus Prime.

Its not really an optional face plate is it? You don't get to choose if he has it or not. You only get to choose if you buy the set or not. The optional non face plate comes with the rest of the figure attached, is sold separately and will set you back lots of £££$$$.

Then takara do it for me, but want me to buy jetfire. Not sure if i can afford.
also someone else raised the point they're not sure if the cannons there, but they can't call it 'buster' if it's not that version, can they?
any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Oh, that's what I meant.
You can buy the standalone Buster OP for the faceplate-less look or the two-pack for the "normal" look.

AND hopefully the voice-chip on Jetfire will have changed! I want to 'behold the glory of Jetfire'! The powerful Mark Ryan English accent, not a weedy Scottish-sounding 'Jetfire's my name'!
Does anyone know if the figures in this new twin-pack will have different sound effects/voices/phrases?

If you already have buster prime, then his lack of a faceplate is ideal for recreating the forest fight scene or for when he is not in combat.
Problem solved.
I actually like the head sculpt for buster prime.
Of course, my logic only works if you have unlimited funds available and can afford to buy whatever Has/Tak throws our way. That use to be me, but now that I have a newborn baby and my wife is not working, I have to be much more selective. *Sigh* I will just have to be content with my Hasbro versions of Prime and Jetfire.

Really? How can you tell? If that's the case though, I'm relieved. Not that I would've ever spent this much just for a badass Prime with a faceplate AND a BMFG, but still.

I shall buy it, but I'll be more interested in the Jetfire, because I've only got him once already.
