Transformers 2010 - God Primus Revealed

Oh I like that!

Is it nice. Yes.
Do I like it. Yes.
Am I worried seeing I have Cybertron Primus already. Sadly, I'm not. I'll stick with the one I have.

Agreed and agreed. I like it, but I already have Cybertron Primus, so this figure is rather superfluous. Of course I say that while I plan on getting the new Unicron repaint while I already have Armada Unicron, so I dunno what that does to the worth of my opinion.

Shiiiiiiiinyyyy...

Then again, I'd rather get the Unicron remold since I already have Primus.

I'm the other way around - I already have Energon version of Uni, but don't have Primus yet. I am currently fighting with my wallet over whether or not to get this.

Well if you don't have a Primus yet, then definitely think about getting this one.

This looks nice but I'm not interested since I already have the Cybertron version and I absolutely hate the whole Primus concept anyway.

Wow. I like this even less than the Unicron repaint/remold.

I can honestly say that I prefer the original color schemes on both of these figures.

Not seeing the excitement, aside from making certain parts golden, the extra blue might actually take away from some of the detail the original scheme had.

Definite pass.

I don't know, I don't have the original Primus yet, but this is closer to the Primus as I recognise him - the Cybertron one is just too colourful; but this has too much blue on it, and the arms in planet mode are ridiculous. A little gold paint on them might help it though...

That's beautifull .Since i don't have Primus this is a tottaly must have.

For those who are planning to get unicron, but wish to pass on primus, think again. Both of these boxes can combine to have a complete box art

Looks like he's gonna cost quite a few beans. Ouch.

The major improvement is that the planet mode is now one uniform color. I wonder how they'll do the Omega Lock and the keys...

If he has to be geeone, I guess they'll go the same way as with Springer/Roadbuster/Breakaway and start handing out red paint and Autobot logos like cigars at a birth.

Bought on 'pre-order' sight

oooooh GEEWUN liiiiiike!!!! but does GEEWUN like it enough to spend more than $70????



NO

Meh, the original looks way better. A lot of detailing lost in planet mode. And blue fists? Yuck.

Shiny

I think it looks very good, do wish the fists were black, or even silver, anything but blue. I think taktom had a bunch of leftover paint from Animated Grimlock and just started spraying things to see what shined the most.

End note, it's nice, but not nice enough to replace my original.

Is it me or is there somewhat of negative feedback on this guy? For myself i have the TFU Unicron which i believe is the Energon repaint and i passed on the new redone Unicron, but i dont have this and i dont have the orginal Primus, so would this be worth picking up or a pass for a person who doesn't have God Primus?

To be blunt, those who paid top dollar for the original toy probably aren't that fussed about a new version and those who didn't pick it up for whatever reason probably aren't going to change their mind over a repaint. I think the main customers for this will be people who missed the boat first time or who didn't buy it first time and are suffering remorse.

I'm I missing something here? I thought the whole 2010 theme tied back to the movie and 2010 episodes. Was Primus even a part of that? Everything else in the 2010 lineup make sense except this figure.

I think they are going to use the market strategy on this guy as "well Unicron was at the beginning of 2010 and he needs a rival, so we'll be able to rope at least some of the suckers with this". That's just my take on it's fit into the 2010 theme.

And Stockade if you don't have the original GF/Cyb Primus and you can get this guy for about the same price as one of them or if you just like the shiny more, you really should check this guy out. Primus is a really great figure and looks quite nice displayed with my black Unicron. Trust me, you'll really dig Primus, the only complaint you'll have is robot mode size when displayed with Unicron. Primus(head) comes up to almost the top of Unicron's chest. Be happy to show pictures of Primus with Energon Unicron if you want.

I have both Armada Unicron (or TFU Unicron, same figure) and Cybertron Primus, and given the chance I'd buy both 2010 versions. Why? I have expensive taste, that's why!

Kidding, kidding. I just like the idea that they're proper (Neo) G1 representations, given some liberties (Marvel's Primus wasn't blue for instance, he was red/orange/yellow like Rodimus Prime), and the orange (evil) vs. blue (good) is a nice idea of contrast.

This doesn't tickle my pickle.

I'll probably buy it anyway, because I have a problem.

I have Cybertron Primus and I am happy with him. I don't have the Unicron head but I do have Armada Unicron.

Just curious would you guys rather get this new Bling Primus (Yes I like shiny transformers!) paying top dollar or pick up Cybertron primus with unicron head on ebay (which I imagine would be cheaper) even MISB?

I wouldn't be able afford either one anyway, I am however saving up for masterpiece grimlock and can't wait for July 1st.

I'm not sure it would be cheaper. Nowadays 9000 or so yen would be a pretty reasonable price to pay for Cybertron Primus, and would be an absolute steal for Galaxy Force Primus.

Even though they're the same toy, you'd be paying extra for the G1-style box alone. I just want Unicron's head!

Just wait, Hasbro will make their own evil monstrosity...

While the planet mode is a definate improvement, I actually like the colors on the original robot mode better. And those blue guns should have been black, they stick out like sore thumbs in planet mode.

Maybe a higher resolution pic will make me like the colors more. Even if it did, however, I'm not in a hurry to add another Primus to my collection. The guy takes up A LOT of room with all those spikes sticking out.

Minus the bling

Except you can still get the original Cybertron Primus for WAY cheaper than this guy will cost. Which is why I'm not even going to get my hopes up about owning this one, as awesome as I think it looks.

What a decision I have ahead of me. Planet mode is a HUGE improvement apart from those god awful blue hands and cannons sticking out. All that bright blue in robot mode is a definate turn-off. Problem is there's no real original source material for us to compare it to and get excited about like there was with Unicron.
Might spend the next couple of days just staring at this pic until I'm convinced.

That's really pretty. I especially like the paint apps on the "cities".

Probably a pass for me, though. As nice as it is, it's not enough of an improvement over the original to warrant how much it's going to cost.

Very cool. Loving the shiny silver. not so sure about the bright blue though.

Not sure I can justify 250 bucks worth of toys. Even toys as big as Unicron and Primus.

And I already have Cyb Primus, and I'm sure I'm getting Unicron. Decisions Decisions.

I wonder what the Omega lock will look like.

Having gone back and looked at my Cybertron Primus, my previous complaints about the brightness on this Takara version seem to be without grounds. I might see how easy it is to remove the hands and cannon barrels from my Cybertron version, and consider transplanting them on to this version.

first 2010 Unicron then this. what will they think of next?

GOLD PRIMUS remember the Golden Age of Cybertron. In rebirth which is the Western 2010 series after the movie, daniel recdirects the energy let off by Decepticons weapon of destruction, to Vecta Sigma, which returns Cybertron to it's former glory. So according to that episode Cybertron was Originaly Gold.

Except "The Rebirth" never aired in Japan. Instead they got "The Headmasters" as a brand new season.

When I first got a message about this, I expect it to be gold.

...

I wish it was gold.

The Japanese didn't like The Rebirth, so much so that they try to deny it's existence. (Can't say I blame them.) I can't imagine Takara acknowledging the Golden Age of Cybertron. I could be wrong. It would be cool, but another Primus repaint for the 2010 celebrations would suck.

Nit-picking I know, but it wasn't Daniel that redirected the energy from Vector Sigma. It was his dad, Spike.

I got cybertron Primus and armada Unicron and they are close enough "g1" feeling for me so i will pass on both of them for now but if i find them dirt cheap in the future maybe i pick them up.

Nice... but like many others, I already have Cybertron Primus. Looks neat, though!

No, it was a cabbage!

Bring on the Beast Machines repaint! Change the spikes to trees!

Transforming Lithone, Quintessa or Junk Planet repaints/remolds?

Yes I have Primus...but this repaint is much better. I have the Black Unicron, but I like the 2010 repaint, so this one is so ordered.

Looking at it more closely, the blue reminds me of Mega Man... a giant, planet sized Mega Man with a hedgehog complex.

A certain blue hedgehog perhaps?
