How does Hasbro attempt to make yet another release of the same Optimus Prime voyager mold interesting? They paint the big boy blue and gray and give him a new arch rival - the new stealth fighter decepticon Transformers Movie 2 Voyager - MINDWIPE.
Other than the new N.E.S.T. background info hyping the struggle with his new psychic foe, there isn't anything fresh with this incarnation of Optimus. Snazzy black smokestacks second as powerful cannons to take out aerial attacks. There is also a silver cowboy in the driver seat that mysteriously has no hands.
As with every other voyager movie Optimus Prime toy, the vehicle mode is more accurate than the robot. It feels solid as a truck and it actually rolls which is never a given with the newer toys. Personally I like the paint scheme which is similar to the leader class Transformers Nightwatch Optimus Prime except the blue is darker and there are reddish flames on the front. I would have liked it a bit better if the whole truck was blue with silver flames.
The robot mode is not bad looking, but it isn't very accurate to what you see in the films. The often maligned "backpack syndrome" returns(where the front of the truck swings around in transformation to hang off the back of the figure). The actual transforming is fairly painless and while it still suffers from that fragile feeling... it's still more secure than some of the other voyagers such as Transformers Movie Voyager Blackout with Scorponok.
If you are an Optimus Prime completest, then by all means pick this guy up. If you already have the previous voyagers and are looking for something new... then you may want to pass. At less than half the price of the leader class toys the Defender Optimus Prime is at least half as much fun.
