Transformers Animated Voyager Class Optimus Prime

I love ball joints. It really is the next revolution in articulation but there are problems with ball joints. First of all, it gets loose after fiddling with the toy for a bit. It chips the paint on the ball joint if any and the rounded joints sometimes looks out of place with the toy. Anyway....


It looks like a gorilla, I think its because of the success of Beast Wars/Beast Machines. The design esthetics sort of carries over. I personally like the clean minimalist design, it looks new age to me.

The blaster looks like a total wuss. I prefer the old one. This one shoots water though

The blaster and axe combines to become sort of a jet pack

Lets move on to vehicle mode. I don't really like the vehicle mode. Somehow the futuristic flat-nose cab does not really grow on me. I still prefer the original G1 cab.




The toys is currently still out in the market now, still very hot item. You can find them in major departmental stores. I might buy myself another one and give it a custom paint job.
