And now there is a 3rd AOE TF4 New mold leader optimus toy. This one thus far is being released exclusively by Takara.
http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-new ... me-180128/ It appears to be a Leader sized Truck cab Optimus That combines with a Trailer for another flight wing jet pack. So in essence the entire set is being sold as a Supreme sized toy.

My 2 cents: I Think Hasbro & Takara are getting way to carried away with Three leader sized new mold Optimus toys for this AOE TF4 toy line. If I had my way Hasbro & Takara would have only created one new mold Optimus toy for the TF4 toy line. The Other Two leader toy slots for TF4,I would have rather got Leader scale ROTF Tidalwave,TF4 Leader Scale Galvatron. TF4 leader scale Brawl,TF4 Leader scale Blackout. Yes,I'm aware most of these Decepticons died in past movies or never made it to the films,Still to me it's better than getting Three leader sized optimus toys for the TF4 toy line.

Judging by the pics,This newer mold is a shell & parts former big time. this particular style of shell forming reminds me of the BW Neo Maximals and the Car robots Trio of cars bros. I do like the front sculpting & poseablility on the robot mode. Don't like how the back of the robot mode has the entire truck cab mode on it. Not a fan of the overly simplified shell forming transformation this toy uses.

Is it a shellformer when the majority of the tractor truck ends up as a backpack? That's just awful, there isn't one good mold of this thing but they keep costing over $40. Can't these companies do one that isn't crummy? Doesn't look like it so far. Yeah, I get it, there's not much on the 2nd version of Optimus in the film that actually comes from the truck, but stuff the wheels and such inside the torso and legs where you have extra space, don't just dump it into backpacks and kibble.

Would it kill either Hasbro or Takara to release another voyager prime to be in scale with Galvatron?

Yes. If that ever happens, the entire fabric of space and time will collapse in on itself, ending the universe.
