What should we call this upcoming toy, Transformers Bumblebee Optimus Prime sounds odd but Optimus Prime from Transformers: Bumblebee movie is a real mouthful. Regardless, we knew we were getting another voyager Optimus Prime in 2019 (along with the Movie 1 voyager Optimus Prime and the DOTM Leader Optimus Prime) and we just learnt that it was going to be Optimus as he looks in the Bumblebee film, which is a hybrid design of the movie-verse and G1 (what many fans have been asking for).
And now we get a good look at the toy. It looks like G1 Optimus but with more bits and bobs jutting about (almost like robotic innards at the articulation points). We currently do not know if the alt mode will be cybertronian or earth based. Some have mentioned that it may borrow transformation from the Siege voyager Optimus Prime, with the windows beign the only parts that the alt mode and robot mode share. What do you think? Let us know! We thank Seibertronian Mad Project for sending us the image below.

Based on this one is image, this new Optimus figure doesn't bad, but I think we need to see more before we condemn/praise it any further.

Holy cats. Another voyager Optimus.
So..has anyone established why the mixed scale of leaders/voyagers of the same characters? I thought we were going with a pretty good close to accurate bot height difference in this line throughout the movies. I could see DotM leader Optimus being a leader due to his "trailer flight kit" included similar to how Siege leader Shockwave/Ultra Magnus are leader due to the add-ons.
Has this already been talked about? I'm being lazy on the searches..

Dotm op, I suspect will be a voyager op with trailer so, so far anyhow, they've all kept to the same scale.

Not a huge fan of the large feet with the skinny calves. Forearms look a bit like TR Voyager Optimus.

Ok, you're right. There are some differences. Sorry I was in a hurry while writing that. Anyway, so many people are freaking out about it. It's not a huge deal at all. After TLK the franchise was dying and tf6 got cancelled. Now it seems to be back, but they needed a new look that would appeal to both audiences and this to me at least makes a lot of sense. Peoples problems with the last Knight are that the aspect ratios kept changing, the story made little to no sense, the dialogue was horrible the decepticons were kinda cool, and then they all died. The jokes didn't land, and Grimlock was reduced to a stupid car eating moron for a bad joke. Hot Rod was overhyped and did some cool things. The story was just real hard to follow. It wasn't just a bad movie, it was a garbage film. A temporary change was needed. Having these G1 inspired designs and an overall brighter look isn't as bad as people are making it out to be. Having another prime in the line isn't a huge deal either. These toy lines don't come out back to back. They come out over the course of several months and this Optimus will most likely come out towards the end of 2019. The design is also different enough from the original movie design. This was a one-time thing, and Travis Knight isn't this horrible guy for wanting to make a better looking, better-written film. They look more like the cartoon, and that to me is awesome. Critics gave this change more praise which means Hasbro gets more money, which means more Transformers film. This scene lasts 5 minutes. Why are people so mad? This franchise has enough characters to last another couple of years. Bumblebee still looks like his movie counterpart. I think the BumbleBee movie soundwave looks worlds better than the rotf and dotm ones. Also, Ravage looks like ravage and not this horrific cat demon. I did like that design. If he was this "Butt head GEWUNNER" he would've thrown out everything Michael Bay had any influence in and would've made bumblebees feet the front of the car. He didn't. Travis Knight gave us two Decepticons with actual personality traits. He did some house cleaning if anything. Also, wheeljack is actually Wheeljack this time and not a renamed Que. Arcee I guess I kinda wish ironhide still had his canons in this film, but it's whatever. It's not trying to be an episode of the original cartoon, it's still its own thing that tries to be like an old 80's movie, with a heart and soul. The loss of skeleton-like designs isn't the end of the world. Again, the scene lasts for 5 minutes. Travis also left to go continue his projects at lyka Studios,so it's not like this G1 inspired touch will last in these movies till the end of time.

Like, say, MEGATRON. Or Soundwave's ROTF design. Or Shockwave in DOTM. Lockdown's goons and the Dinobots in AoE. The ancient knights and the Infernocons in TLK. Bottom line is, we have established Cybertronian robot and vehicle modes and they're the same BM Vehicon-ish alien look as earth-mode Bayformers, just even more alien because they don't have Earth-altmode kibble. Travis Knight IS being a GEEWUNNER by suddenly having the Cybertronian robot modes look like G1-but-with-more-tech-detailing instead of like the established movieverse aesthetic. Especially Ravage.

I think this new figure looks great. I've wanted a toy of this design since the first time I saw it. I think this will be a real highlight of 2019.

This actually looks like a retool of Siege Prime, which is interesting. Makes some sense given his new design being a lot more G1 looking.

Looks very interesting. It was fairly obvious Hasbro would want to capitalize on yet another Prime design when it showed up in the trailer.
I was kind of hoping it would be leader class, but what can you do. Not sure why it has the Siege "battle damage" on his shins though.
It doesn't look like Siege Prime at all however IMHO.

Hopefully this one paves the ways for more of these Cybertronian designs(I'm thinking the seekers).

That new Optimus looks like somebody smooshed together the tops and bottoms of two different Optimus toys to make that.

Everyone who likes to call the transformers movies garbage films; you are garbage jerks. It's one thing to say you don't like a film. Even that you hated it. That's cool. No problem. But to call a movie garbage, a movie that many, many people thought was okay (even if they didn't love it) and that many, many people worked very hard to create, is to be a world class scumbag. You are saying we like garbage. And that's just an arrogant, horrible, sanctimonious thing to say. You are presuming you know what's best for everyone. You do not. And you never, ever will.
But since we are doing that, fine. This Optimus Prime, as designed for Bumblebee; is just a garbage design. It's a very hastily modeled Frankenstein. It takes the G1 incarnation, which was originally drawn in a simplified form (for obvious reasons) and adds a lot of exaggerated details that are out of place, and logistically ridiculous. (Truck windows on a Cybertronian was fine on a cartoon made for 8 year olds.) If you are a fan of this design, then you are a simpleton who has no sense of aesthetics and is easily placated by nostalgic nonsense.
And as for the toy, it looks every bit as cheap and clunky as its wave-mates. Will it feel as cheap? I don't know. But I am not Optimistic. If Hasbro wants to keep marketing overpriced kids toys to collectors, they should be eternally grateful to those of you who are indeed placated by nostalgic nonsense.

Do yourself (and everyone else) a favour and go read the forum rules.
If people want to call a movie garbage, that's their right. They're not breaking any forum rules.
But when YOU turn around and call people "garbage", "simpleton" and "scumbag" just because you don't agree with them, well, you're the one breaking the rules, and it just won't be tolerated.

Thanks to fellow Seibertron users, Nemesis Primal, EvasionModeBumblebee, What's Crackin'? and Dan, we have learned that YouTuber TonTon Reviews has uploaded a new video review of forthcoming Transformers Studio Series Leader Class figure #35 Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire!
One thing to note is that TonTon does not show off the combined form of Voyager 2007 Movie Optimus Prime and Jetfire and it appears as though that will get a video of its own.
We have embedded the video below for your convenience:
What do you think of Jetfire? Will you be adding him to your collection? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

I like the new Prime, though the big chunks on the back of his arms and the kibble on the inside of his legs aren't great. It could almost pass for an IDW design. Those elbows are really messing with my brain since they bend on the what looks like the wrong axis. I sure hope he's a good figure because I really like the looks of him.

Honestly, that new Studio Series Prime is a nope in a not good direction.
I have not liked the Cybertronian aesthetic since it was revealed, they should have smoothed it out some and made it a separate thing. The difference is too jarring compared to the movie look I have come to love.
Carn is right, the "G1" influence crept into the movie. While it may be a short bit, it still sucks to see them abandon the previous looks, especially since we have gotten many looks at Transformers without Earth modes. And it's now across the board: toys, comics, TV, and now starting to creep into the movie. Let the unique things stay unique. That would be like Prime or Cybertron suddenly shifting into G1 mode, it doesn't look right.
AS was said elsewhere, you can't miss G1 if it won't stop coming back and now taking over the entire industry.
and the G1 look is not good for many of these guys. It's the wrong type of greeble on the characters, and for some reason, a lot of the Cybertron guys have very large thighs and skinny arms and lower legs, it's not a good look. And this figure sadly seems to capture that look.
I really really really wish they would have made the Cybertron aesthetic something else and new instead of in this live action universe. They nailed Dropkick, Shatter, and Blitzwing, why couldn't you have stuck with that?
on a separate note, Jetfire looks good, I can't wait to see the combination with Prime!

Nope, not really feeling that new Voyager Prime. I get what they're going for with the shift to the more familiar, but that does result in backlash from those who were used to the original esthetic. The shift does apparetly work in a sense as the movie is a hit with the critics for once it seems, so yeah...
I keep hearing people asking what #31 is in the line, the only one that hasn't been ID'ed yet. Well, there are two contenders that have had listings and product ID's confirmed: Autobot Dino and Autobot Drift.

Ohhhh boy. It's not a good sign when my literal first reaction was to start laughing. The bot mode is fine I guess but that alt is hilarious.

Earlier today, we put up two news articles on the instruction manual and robot mode image of new Studio Series 38 Voyager Class Optimus Prime, from the Bumblebee film. Following that, we have a leaked image of the back of the box of the said toy, thanks to 本-阿弗莱克- on baidu.
It shows us our first look on his alternate mode which, shock of shocks, is very inspired by the truck in the G1 cartoon. Of course, we also get to see the stock render for his robot mode, and his 35 step conversion. We also find out the figure comes with the "San Francisco Bridge" backdrop.
So does this make you more or less excited for the figure? Tell us in the Pub forums down below!

Also a little surprised they even made this to begin with, but then, maybe not that much really.

To be honest i like it, even if the truck looks quite tall, i like it. and from the looks of it, it should have quite a good amount of paint on it.

This Optimus and MP-44 should both have their molds melted down.
It's an obnoxious half-assed continuity-clashing move that puts Travis Knight in the same category of fan embodied by Shadow from the Insecticomics (albeit not that extreme).
Also, the professional movie critics are worthless brain-dead morons when it comes to Transformers. I haven't seen the movie myself, but I have no faith in their judgement after stupidity regarding the first movie.

First, I agree with everything you just said, my young friend. I'm an OG geewunner, but yeah, it's starting to get a tad drawn out.
Second, frack me if I don't love the hell out of this new design.
What can I say, it hits all the right notes for me.

I have not liked the Cybertronian aesthetic since it was revealed, they should have smoothed it out some and made it a separate thing. The difference is too jarring compared to the movie look I have come to love.
Carn is right, the "G1" influence crept into the movie. While it may be a short bit, it still sucks to see them abandon the previous looks, especially since we have gotten many looks at Transformers without Earth modes. And it's now across the board: toys, comics, TV, and now starting to creep into the movie. Let the unique things stay unique. That would be like Prime or Cybertron suddenly shifting into G1 mode, it doesn't look right.
AS was said elsewhere, you can't miss G1 if it won't stop coming back and now taking over the entire industry.
and the G1 look is not good for many of these guys. It's the wrong type of greeble on the characters, and for some reason, a lot of the Cybertron guys have very large thighs and skinny arms and lower legs, it's not a good look. And this figure sadly seems to capture that look.
I really really really wish they would have made the Cybertron aesthetic something else and new instead of in this live action universe. They nailed Dropkick, Shatter, and Blitzwing, why couldn't you have stuck with that?
on a separate note, Jetfire looks good, I can't wait to see the combination with Prime!

Nope. This figure isn't for me. The figure itself is fine I guess for what it's trying for, but personally I'd rather we get more of the Constructicons sooner rather than another Prime, but G1-Flavored. Oh well, it's nice for the G1 fans that want him and he's not stealing a spot from any characters I'm dying for. I guess we know what that "Autobot Hero" listing was about now?

Yeah, I am surprised by the amount of people speaking their displeasure. When the trailer came out, everyon was raving about the G1-like designs. With memes of Take My Money or whenever Hasbro would release those in toy form. And now we see we dont have to wait long at all, and yet there is none of that excitement present.
I am really impressed at how I see no extraneous kibble in that bot mode for so many new parts found in truck mode (unless the answer is he has a big ass backpack like MP44). That alone is the reason I want it.
I am confused about what alt mode detail his arms have, or if its just fake alt mode kibble.

I think the "Cybertronian" designs from the Bumblebee movie are erroneous trash that have no place in the movieverse and should not have been dignified with toys.

I'm still sticking to my Siege Optimus retool theory. From this picture it looks like he has the same truck roof/backpack as the Siege toy and the legs also look very similarly built from the inside angle. I'm really excited for this guy, looks like he'll be a lot of fun! I do feel a little regret buying the Takara Leader Evasion Prime (that I can't remember the actual name of right now, gah!) but at least he's all chromed up and a different size class. I'm gonna be getting this new Optimus right on release, I think.

dont be offended when I say that i don't care about optimus prime
lets be honest optimus prime and bumblebee are the two main faces of the transformers franchise so naturally there are way too many versions of them. each one continues to surprise me in both ways, and maybe impress me sometimes but im tired of them. i want more on the others. they deserve better. Life dropkick and shatter, I would have one version of a good dropkick and shatter rather than a thousand bumblebees and optimus
i just want a really good blitzwing from the bumblebee movie or a decent triple changer for either dropkick or shatter

Someone on another board brought up a time back in 1997 when we got Machine Wars Optimus Prime with his rather nontraditional look for an Optimus Prime (unique deco, no mouthplate, etc.) and people back then were all going "When are we gonna get a new Optimus Prime toy?!!"
Good times.

I was just thinking about that, part of me wants to laugh but the other part wants to cry coz it’s very nearly coming true.
I mean, I get it, Optimus Prime is the face of the brand, but jeezopeets. We’re going to have 3 different Optimus Prime toys on the shelves at the same time, based on the same Geewun design,2 of which are the same size, and the other of which includes an Optimus Prime that is the same damn size, but with accessories. That’s fucking nuts. Who was in that meeting? Was the guy who thought it would be cool to murder Admiral Ackbar in The Last Jedi there?
