News article by Transformerarecool:
An auction on ebay has surfaced of the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime (voyager). This Optimus Prime is a direct repaint of the Optimus Prime mold from the 1st toyline. The figure features new paint around the chest, a new Autobot emblem painted on the side, Cybertronian symbols on the leg & hood, and some more paint detail around the abdomen. The figure also lacks the silver paint on the wheels. There is a possibility that will not carry over into production, but knowing Hasbro it most likely will. Gallery can be seen here:

Transformerarecool's Opinion: The aesthetics of the Figure seems to be a little more dark with the orange/red chest paint, implying that the movie will most likely have a darker tone. I didn't pick up the first voyager, and I do not think i will Pick this one up. It seems that it still retains the "Peter Cullen" driver gimmick. The main turnoff for me is that it has a huge backpack that consists of the front of the cab. Maybe they will do a DIRECT g1 repaint, with nothing differing from the G1 paint scheme, it may be more coveted by collectors then.
