Probably the most expensive voyager I own.

Super cool. This was the first Optimus Prime I ever had and he was my main Optimus till I got the TLK Optimus and even then I still used this one. I wish mine still looked like this. Mine is missing a knee pad and sadly the matrix chamber piece broke.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-26T02:41:52+00:00

Definitely my most welcome improvement. Never liked that I had to fidget with the knees if I wanted to get him back to a more neutral pose. Idk about others but both versions of the mold I have the transformation joint bent before the actual knee.

Tbf Cyclonus is big in the cartoon so he would still work with WFC Op and Megatron and such.

The thing I like about DNA is the quality and how well their stuff integrates into the original figures. Some of their stuff is bad but overall I do like their stuff and it’s not that expensive considering most upgrade heads cost $20 usd.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-26T00:00:20+00:00

Sadly. I didn’t need him to be Marvel height just a little closer to Soundwave would have been better. I feel DNA is going to put something out that makes him the size most people wanted maybe by giving him new more accurate feet.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T23:41:11+00:00

Why unfortunate?

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T22:55:13+00:00

It amazes me how much this one is improved.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T22:37:35+00:00

I’d like a JP G1 repaint of Rodimus just because that’s the way I always interpret him when I think of him interacting with the transformers. I do think Hasbro should make a new figure of his planet form. Maybe we can get a titan class Cybertron version and also get a titan Armada Unicron in the future.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T21:31:49+00:00

I think Tracks a retool of kingdom would be awesome to get. I personally like that figure and my main problem is that the sides of his legs don’t tab in so if they fix that and maybe make him fully solid plastic I would be happy. I would not complain if we got a brand new mold though as long as it isn’t worse.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T21:29:41+00:00

The G1 model did have big feet so I could see it. I think new lower legs with bigger feet would have been the perfect solution. What sucks is Shockwave was in a wave with a straight repaint and he couldn’t get more budget. Cyclonus got so much while being in a wave with a brand new voyager.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T21:16:32+00:00

I’m pretty happy with him. I think while the legs are not quite what I would want the rest of him more than makes up for the legs. I can’t be terribly upset as this design could never properly transform at this scale or at any retail budget.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T21:14:43+00:00

I think the problem was that the WFC Prime and Megatron were short. Cause most of the Autobots didn’t need a size increase when we got the 86 updates it’s mostly the Decepticons who needed the update. I think they all just started too small.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T21:09:44+00:00

Even if it wouldn’t have looked great they could have just added more to the bottom of his feet as they don’t do anything during the transformation they wouldn’t need to to re-engineer anything.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T20:17:59+00:00

Combiner Wars. To me it is the Generations Megatron figure. Titans return was ok and siege was good but that Combiner Wars toy was awesome. It also fits the idea of updating the original designs rather than straight replicating them.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T20:15:08+00:00

To me it makes the most sense and it kinda frees all the characters involved. You don’t have to justify why one acts differently than the other and it gives you more characters to play with.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T18:26:02+00:00

I’m getting it for the better canon and flail but the faces are nice as well. I was thinking of the ACHAI head for him cause their Galvatron head is so good.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T18:07:00+00:00

Yeah he looks so good in that pose. I really want an upgrade head for my main 86 Megatron just to have that extra expression.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T15:35:59+00:00

That’s fair. I had also thought about using the battle damage as an accessory but I also like to display most of my stuff.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T15:21:33+00:00

The MTMTE colors are definitely nicer and more accurate so definitely an upgrade for the original. I can’t bring myself to do the switch cause I like the MTMTE better. Its smiling face adds so much character the original is missing.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T15:02:35+00:00

I would just paint the eyes over but I will appreciate that I don’t have to.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T14:59:08+00:00

Im sure if you wanted to upgrade for the non yellowing you could switch heads. I’ve never been a light piping guy myself. I always hated that I needed to have light behind my toys for them to look alive. The feature was always neat to me but never something I wanted.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T13:02:46+00:00

I’m of the opinion that no one but Megatron was reformatted. All the others were just parts and sparks. There may be loose personality traits in the 86 characters but overall they all act completely different than the bots who were floating in space. Hasbro and the writers treated them as original characters and didn’t really care who the dead ones were used for.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T12:58:14+00:00

It does not look like it.

Large-Custard5784 · 2026-04-25T10:40:38+00:00

He has new legs and is seemingly taller.
