Well that HOS Prime looks nice but I've seen a nicer one before, defiantly need final images and a size comparison before even thinking of buying that.

I'm curious. Do you have to paint the Prime figure, or are these just photos of the prototype?

That will be a prototype seeing as it'll be released in October.

Just a quick thought looking at this figure....There is a short CGI video on youtube of a train transformer transforming on the tracks..Does anyone else see the resemblance for those who have seen the video? I know the video is homemade and is unrelated to hasbro or any transformer, but just think...just a thought.

Cool! Nice to see the version of griffith76's HOS Prime that's being done through Master Mind Creations. http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?t=48406

I'm still waiting for my 10" version but I'd love to see this in finished colors.

Okay, wait. Slow down. Pic with the armored boxcar open, there's a mortar thing in there, sitting on the opening in the floor. Is that Rollar? or just a trailer gun?

A trailer gun it seems.

I've wanted this since the initial prototypes were posted to the customs boards years ago!

I could not afford the larger version, but I'll be all over this.

I hope BBTS has pre-orders up soon.

That looks pretty badass. Wish HOS ran longer.

Ok, so what is the "purpose" storyline-wise for the DIA trailer armor for Optimus or Magnus? It'd been cool if they'd kept a faceplate on this one then we'd know that it was Optimus - or we could just pretend like he's Sentinel Maximus like out of that Bot-con comic story
