i get people who say hes not as accurate as he should be, but i still think its a beautiful figure. bits like the rusty hub caps are a real nice touch. i think if this prime shook all the dust off, he'd end up looking like hasbros rusty prime

Will anyone actually buy this? Not me. In fact the ONLY movie toy I've gotten so far is Evasion Prime. And that's only because he is more like G1 Prime than Bayverse Prime.
And as I predicted, NO one is buying those ridiculous shampoo bottles which Hasbro is calling 'action figures'.

They may be selling some because they keep making them. Still, I can understand the one-step changers and such. However, I don't get those big, unpainted brics at all. Make them GI-Joe sized and sell them for 2$ at the dollar store and it will be fine. Instead, they are fawking huge and go for 10-15$ each. WTF, man?!
BTW, dude, by not buying voyager Hound, Grimlock, and Galvatron, you are missing out.

You are not angry enough. If you get even angrier, Hasbro will totally listen to you.

From what I've heard, Hasbro is making a killing on the "Shampoo Bottle" toys in the world-wide market for whatever reason (think areas of the world where you don't expect to find Transformers that often). I have a feeling those extremely simplified toys will be around for a while unfortunately.

Because Hasbro's one better reflects how he looked in the movie in both modes instead of just in truck mode like Takara's does. Takara's robot mode is albino from head to toe, whereas both Hasbro's and the movie version two-toned.welcometothedarksyde wrote:Love Takara's evasion mode Optimus. I prefer it to the Hasbro one. Seems like alot of people are tending towards the opposite. Anyone know why?

There's that "Farmageddon" one, though I think it'd just be easier/cheaper to get the regular one on clearance and leave it outside until it's faded and weather-beaten.

I think the black head would have looked better as well. Too much red.

Those two are pretty damn cool, though.

prime on the other hand, will be mine. even at those terrifying after market prices...

Well, if Optimus can have an evil clone, why can't Grimlock too?shajaki wrote:i have no need for a black and purple grimlock. to me theres pretty much either nemesis/black (reserved pretty much for primes) and shattered glass. and SG grimmy doesnt look like that to me.

I heard that!
I so gotta get these 2 before prices get even more insane...'nuff said!

I just read some of you paid $300 for these? This stuff IS like crack, as some of you joke. You are addicts, just in a less physically destructive way.

shockblast2 wrote:So, if Hasbro repaints any figure in black and turquoise deco, it is called nemesis whatever? And for what, a double dip on an overpriced toy?
TakaraTomy does it too, in fact they've overtaken Hasbro in that department. The $300 tag can be attributed to 3 factors: Japanese, exclusive, and convention, in ascending order.
I don't really care for the Nemesis shtick, as it's too overused and diluted. None of them hold a candle to RiD Scourge (in my case, CR Black Convoy).

They were only available at the Transformers Expo in Yokohama, Japan, and in extremely limited quantities. After the Expo was over, that was it. No other chances to get these figures aside from those who were actually there. It's one of those "you had to be there in person to get these" cases.Siger wrote:The heck is up with those prices?

what about the $250 asking price for botcon scorponok? he aint an MP. its just the nature of exclusives.Siger wrote:The heck is up with those prices? That Nemesis Prime doesn't even look that good to me. $150 is a huge Masterpiece's price, not for something like this.

Repaints and retools are a TF trope since the very beginning of G1. They are cost effective and they sell like hotcakes. Repaints aint going away. Ever.

The latter is the only incarnation of a character that was sort of seen in the movieverse, if not the last film specifically, and comes with chainsaw splitting gun action, while the latest iteration of Bumblebee features more or less the same body as the Generations Deluxe version, with spring loaded cannon gimmick. Click on any image for the full galleries, as always.

How about articulation?
I understand that the left arm has no elbow but what about the rest of the limbs?

Ryan's gallery pics should demonstrate the toy's extent of articulation.mirageandjazz1197 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Small Deluxe size.mirageandjazz1197 wrote:That Vehicon is really cool looking despite not being a proper deluxe
