Thanks man. I only wish I had the room to display my MISB stuff! :lol:

Hey, when I start an online petition to convince my wife to let me remove the bed from our "spare bedroom", I can count on your support right? :lol:

side note: check out El_duque's collection, he actually has the necessary room to properly display a collection!

Hasbro is in real trouble with the knock offs, Takara, and now MakeToy making better styles and quality of figures.

Freakin' sweet is what this thing looks like and with no signs of dissapointment IMHO. Of course United Prime is the one that is destined for this bad ass looking armor and I just got my hands on a United Prime just for this!

Now all we have to do is hope for great paint apps, QC, and that HasTak will get off their ass and produce a Nemesis Prime already for a repaint of this thing...'nuff said! :VEHI:

This.

I went to the HTS and ordered it online the moment pics came out and would not have bought the figure before hand. But however, I gotta admit that I do like the figure now that I have it in my hands.

This piece is looking so great. I cannot wait for this to come out. Loving all I'm seeing so far. I hope the prices are fair and quality up to par with at least FansProject items.

Of course you have my support with that. I admire a married guy who's wife even let's him collect Transformers, let alone have their own room. I only just got back into collecting them and have no where near anything as impressive as what you've got.

I dunno...I think the base figure sucks to be honest. Does a somewhat neat upgrade make a crummy figure a must have? If this thing is the typical $80 add-on, I think I'm gonna just skip it.

by **OptiMagnus** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:08 am

This looks great! I may buy this. I just hope it it doesn't get released in all black.

by **Cyberion** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:13 am

As cool as this is, I don't have the figure and have to stop collecting Primes for a bit. Need more Decepticons.

News Credits: 3 · by **Samsonator** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:43 am

the combined mode on this thing gives me a serious GN Arms vibe (for anyone who watched Gundam OO)
I can't wait for this. RTS G2 Prime needed this trailer!

by **Cyberion** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:58 am

I'm hearing you on the Gundam Vibe. This is definitely an awesome trailer. Too bad someone hasn't come up with something like this for the Masterpiece Primes. But if they did, it would be stupid expensive.

looks goog, really want to see the finish paint up.

News Credits: 19 · by **Fires_Of_Inferno** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:32 pm

Nicely done, I gave the G2 style Optimus in my collection Decepticon stickers and just call him Nemesis Prime already, so having an add-on like this would only make him that much more awesome!

Same. They just happened to stock it at local stores and I went "whelp, this is as good a time as any!" and picked it up. It is a pretty cool mold, it's just the colors that bring the suck a little, so an RID Scourge repaint would be optimal. I currently have my RTS Prime posed all badass with his sword...and hey, with this set he could dual-wield, how badass would that be?

Some pics please?

I picked up RTS Prime because I thought it was moderately cool. Never saw it again after that. This set only makes me more glad I did wind up buying it.

Although I hope all of these things don't come out all at once.

BTW: RTS Prime can hold the Battle in Space Matrix. It looks huge with him, but he can do it.

by **Cyberion** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 1:09 pm

I never even saw RTS Prime in stock anywhere when I went on my "Prime Hunt" for something more impressive than my Voyager DOTM Hasbro Prime.

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 1:14 pm

I saw RTS Prime once. Ditto Wreck-gar and Tracks.

If you like the trailer, go on ebay now and buy him. Before the scalpers get wind that these pics are up and jack up the price. Because you know it'll shoot up after this.

Yes it will. But since I don't have an RTS Prime, the trailer is an easy pass for me. If I did have RTS Prime, this trailer would be a MUST.

LOL Drift sword. still, this looks awesome!

I just noticed that this thing has clip-on ports in a couple of places! I love this new era of Transformers that we live in where weapons and arsenals are interchangeable on many levels! :KREMZEEK:

by **Cyberion** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 1:36 pm

I just looked at the figure alone and without trailer/armor, it's "Meh". With it however, it definitely works.

I agree. It's a shame that folks with our mindset will want to spend so much more to make the figure look great, but the add-on set just looks brilliant! This will bring my G2 Prime from the shadows and displayed prominently.

Awsome stuff. I'm patting myself on the back a little here because I'm getting good at anticipating what the 3rd party toy makers are gonna take a swipe at. LOL I had a feeling when i first saw the RTS figure that someone was gonna build that iconic G2 tanker trailer for it

Anyway, I tried to snag as many of these as I could find here in the states because I just knew it would be an investment. But I havn't opened any of them yet. I've kept them MOC. And I'm trying to determine if I should use an RTS version or the United for this add on kit...any thoughts people?

Questions:
1) OK correct me here if I'm wrong but wasn't this a one per case item? Their always seemed to just be one G2 Prime for every two Jazz, Tracks, and B-Bee's that I could find. That was a clue to me that this might be a future rare piece.

2) And I have to show some ignorance here. Is the figure pictured above the RTS version or the United? I read somewhere on here that the RTS version had a problem with a tab that poked out somewhere on the shoulder that limited rotation etc, but this was supposedly addressed with the United version.
I'm guessing this is a United but I can't tell the difference without looking them up on the galleries here LOL

And I agree...you just know that a RID Scourge won't be too far behind this set. I wasn't a big RID fan but I'm digging this figure and mold so I'll be follwing the developments closely.

Well, now I'm glad I got that Prime in the deluxe lot from BBTS. My wallet weeps though. This has been an expensive year so far, and the Prime toys aren't even out yet....

It's the RTS version. The United version has inner blue plastic, not red.
