	:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)\|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Evasion Mode Optimus Prime" is based on the character's initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime's White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, ''two'' false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a "default" 90° position. Also, while you transform him back to truck mode, his hands must be in the same sideways position to ensure the truck kibble is properly flushed.		:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)\|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Evasion Mode Optimus Prime" is based on the character's initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design.

	:The figure is rather notorious for a number of design choices that are questionable at best, and outright designs flaws at worst. The shoulder articulation is extremely limited, resulting in him only being able to shrug when his arms are raised to the sides. Due to the mold and budget limitations, the truck has some prominent kibble in the rear and lacks a fifth wheel hitch. In some copies, his transformation scheme causes his rearmost tires to lift off the ground. The instructions imply the chest panels open out 90 degrees, but they only open to about 45. There's enough clearance and the plastic is thick enough that it shouldn't break if forced, but don't try to force it regardless.		:The figure is rather notorious for a number of design choices that are questionable at best, and outright designs flaws at worst. The shoulder articulation is extremely limited, resulting in him only being able to shrug when his arms are raised to the sides (although this can be remedied by untabbing the back flap and hinging the shoulder assemblies down, allowing for more natural poses).

	:He also features design flaws in the grey panels on each forearm designed to open and allow the transformation of the hands. If opened all the way, a surface on the interior of each panel obstructs the fist you're trying to fold out or in and places undue stress on the wrist joint which can lead to Prime's hands snapping off at the base of their mushroom peg connection. So exercise caution and only open these grey panels to 45 degrees which paradoxically affords more clearance, rather than the full 90 to try and avoid this. There's also clearance issues between those panels and the roundel in the elbow which can pop the flaps off if the elbow is anything but straight.		:He also features design flaws in the grey panels on each forearm designed to open and allow the transformation of the hands.

The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime's White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, ''two'' false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a "default" 90° position. Also, while you transform him back to truck mode, his hands must be in the same sideways position to ensure the truck kibble is properly flushed.		:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)\|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Evasion Mode Optimus Prime" is based on the character's initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design.
