New Optimus Prime Picture - Possible Energon

Post by Brave Maximus »

HA!
Looks like I got the drop on this one this morning
Anyway, this is off of spawn.com and cr0w
Looks like Optimus and from those crooked shots from TF2005.com it looks like he's from energon.
I'll post the pic, but if the Mods want it down, I can get the link instead :D

HA! it actually worked :D probably going to be a good day.
Anyway, he looks kinda bulky in the front, but it looks like they're going back to the box cab :D

Hmm.... although he doesn't look like Omega Prime, he looks to be some type of merger between RiD Optimus and RiD Ultra Magnus. Notice his legs and lower torso are Magnus' bright blue colors.

All of him is that bright blue though, I think it's just the animators

But you can really see the G1 influince in it (yes I really really want this to be a continuation of G1) esp around the legs:
The gas tanks at upper thigh, the wheels at the hips
finnaly back to the windshield for a chest. :D

From what I've seen so far, I'd say the line is a step backwards from Armada. But I'll reserve a fair judgement of it until we finally see some toys instead of the animation.

Looks a bit like Machine Wars Prime.

Gimmick for the Autobots will be combiners, and Triple Changers for the Decepticons it seems.

interesting, but a previous report on Energon said they are doing away with the Gestalt thing? Slight conflict there. And if on those TF2005 pics, optimus is one one side, then Megs is on the other. If so, he looks like a piece of construction machinery. I know he can't be a gun again, but somthing better than a backhoe please.

But I can see the combiner thing in that pic of Optimus. He's got what looks like a backpack on.

LOL, so let me guess. We're going to suffer through at least 6 months (more likely 8) of guesses and speculations on Energon. I missed all of this when Armada comes out.

The figure facing Prime isnt Megatron... it's Scorponok

Nice very nice :D
Glad it's not Megs.
Though it begs to be asked: Why Scorponok as opposed to Megatron? Is Scorps going to be the main villian for a while? Or have they not compleated the final look of Megs?

Orson said these werent the final version of the designs yet. I'm guessing Megs isnt far enough in dev to be shown. But Megs will be in the serie.

I mean the design. That Prime looks a lot like one of those knock-offs that's been in the stores here for quite a while.

very heavely influenced by Anime\Manga. To me it almost looks like a step back to the Diaclone designs or Machine Wars. But clear G1 influance.

LOL and Dr. Evil, I didn't even notice the Flag on the arm :D

Orson has previously said that he considered gestalts as 5 member teams. I'm guessing that Energon gestalts will be 2-3 members. That means Orson's not lying, and we still get quasi-gestalts.

I would hope Energon is more like G1, i am really getting tired of Super Optimus Prime. Powerlinx Prime. Super Powerlinx Prime. Super Super Super Prime.

With the flag of Japan on his arm, HM, Maybe this means that the cartoon and toys will be released in Japan before it hits the rest of the world.
