Transformers Tribute Movie 1 Leader Optimus Prime Now for Sale on Amazon for $80

Meh i'll get it if it's cheaper at TFcon i'm more into the Orion Pax/ WFC Prime two pack

Is pretty. It may have been eclipsed by the RotF and Masterpiece movie Primes but that's still one of the best Transformer toys ever made in my opinion. Quicker to actually transform than those ones too.

Such a beautiful figure. Still wish they had used the mold with the sword and the longer antennae

The chrome is nice, but the grey plastic kills it, and the lack of the orange fade is criminal. I'd rather they'd nixed the chrome if it had meant the rest of the grey could have been silver.

A shame as that mold looks pretty cool. Sure it's not accurate but it looks...neat. Like, I kinda wish the movie model had looked more like that- blocky and classically robotic but still with the modern elements needed to make it look realistic.

The Premium version is still the best. Hunt that one down instead.

I don't. I like this figure yeah but I was real pleased they managed to do one more like actual movie Prime's proper shape and proportions with the RotF figure cos I far prefer his design over super blocky Prime's anyway. There's been enough blocky Primes.

Orion Pax's Titan Master doesn't have an official name, right?

Not on my knowledge.

Let's call him Dion.

You monster! You're saying that poor Dion was cannibalised by his best friend Orion?

Kidding, kidding

Seriously though, I'm leaning more towards calling him "Barrelroller", after the eHobby Orion's Targetmaster.

Baltmatrix actually got the thing and here's the video review!

Man, I really want that Orion Pax (and would also take that WFC Prime too) but the price for the pack's too expensive for me. Hopefully it'll show up at Ross or some other discount outlet and I'll be able to pick it up then.

You can have it for $30 shipped from amazon if you have prime, or $30 plus shipping if you don't. Much better than the $60 that it originally showed up for elsewhere.

Now THAT'S a price I'm willing to pay!
If only I had a credit card to order stuff online with.

If these things were available at Toys R Us, it'd be much better for me. Then I'd be able to price match it to Amazon's and be a happy camper.
But alas, it isn't so.

Here is what you can try. Start placing an order on Amazon just to see what they would charge for tax (if any) and shipping. Once you know your total, go to a Walgreens or similar store that sells the amazon gift cards. I'm guessing you would need to buy in $5 intervals, so hopefully your total would be just under $35 or $40, and you would basically lose the leftover change, or you can find something really cheap on Amazon to eat up the rest.

I have it and like both figures, and $30 for 2 deluxes is basically retail, if not slightly less.

After the packaging and the stock renders, we now also have the stock photos of the actual toys included in the Transformers Tribute Bumblebee three pack set! Courtesy of the Amazon Japan listing, we've mirrored the vehicle and robot modes of the three figures in their new tweaked decos for this live-action movie celebration pack - check them out!

I want them so badly...might have to swap the head of the '76 'Bee with the original's though.

I need comparisons with the originals

Prime Target wrote:I need comparisons with the originals

In due time, m'boy. In due time.

One thing for sure is the most different one will be the classic '70s version.

Forgive me, but I don't get the black version. This is a tribute to movie Bee, but when was he ever black in the movie?

Lucky Logician wrote:Forgive me, but I don't get the black version. This is a tribute to movie Bee, but when was he ever black in the movie?

That one time in Age of Extinction maybe? I honestly haven't watched AoE in like two years so I can't remember if he actually turned into the black vintage Camaro in the movie, but the figure that this is a repaint of came from that film's line, so I'm assuming it might have happened at some point. (Maybe early in the film, similarly to Optimus' "Evasion Mode"? I dunno.) If it did ever happen, that's the movie when it did at least

Lucky Logician wrote:Forgive me, but I don't get the black version. This is a tribute to movie Bee, but when was he ever black in the movie?

He was a black 67 Camaro SS at the beginning of AoE.

I've missed the '76 Bee. I wonder, could they reshell the MPM Bee into the old car?

It's been a while since we've had any news about the Transformers Tribute Optimus Prime two pack, as it kind of just came and went, but that all changed today when Amazon listed it as part of it's top 100 holiday toy list! The online retailer's yearly list compiles all the top toys from all the different categories of the industry, and this evolution pack is actually the only Transformers toy to make the list. Click on the image below to be see all 100!

Guess Amazon ordered more of these than they thought they could sell...

What a coincidence the only Transformers toy on Amazon's list is the Amazon Exclusive.....what are the odds?

Black Bumblebee wrote:Guess Amazon ordered more of these than they thought they could sell...

Except in Canada. They don't offer this set here at Amazon.ca.
I know I can import it, but oh well...

Is anyone actually gonna buy this with that Power of the Primes Optimus with the super accurate Orion just on the horizon?

They doubled charged me for the set...the day I bought it and the day it shipped...

They sent me an email today asking if it met my expectations...

Yeesh... One more reason to avoid the set.

I already have WFC Optimus and I paid the big bucks for TR Kup already. And since I got rid of so many figures for my G1 fix, I now avoid doubles and repaints like the plague.

I did buy the Tribute set, mostly because it aligned perfectly with my personal collection. I'd never had WFC Optimus and wanted to experience the mold since I'd heard good things about it; I'm getting LG Kup instead of TR, so the slight molding differences made it easier to justify having Tribute Orion as well; and while I have T30 Orion Pax, that guy's tiny and flimsy-feeling, so I wanted a larger and more solid Orion for my collection. Sure the PoTP Orion Pax is super-accurate to the cartoon, but I don't mind a bit of artistic liberty on the more obscure or weirdly-designed characters, plus his vehicle mode's a bit blegh and let's not forget you'd have to pay Leader price to get him. As it was, since I went through Premium Collectables (which I do not recommend, but it happened to work out for me this time) while they were having a sale, the Tribute set cost me about $60AU all up - just a little bit over retail price for two Deluxes.

So yeah, I've made my decision and I'm happy with it - I'd recommend the Tribute set to anyone, particularly someone without the WFC Prime mold like me! I can totally see why others would prefer PotP Optimus/Orion though, and of course you should always do you. However if it sways any opinions, I've found that Tribute Orion makes an absolutely fantastic generic transtector for just about any head you could possibly want to use him with - he makes a particularly great generic Autobot with someone like the Swoop Titan Master attached.

I enjoy the set a lot I'm using Orion with Clobber as Crosshairs.

Wfc Prime is great in bot mode but it's a pain to transform and reminds me why I prefer solid robot and alt modes compared to floppy messes.

All I want from this set is the Orion Pax Titan master body so I can have another use for my Apex Titan master

That doesn't look too bad. I might have to steal that idea.

That's quite obvious. That toy alone justify the price of the set, especially because the original WFC Optimus is worth that much alone on Ebay.
And getting a "free" Orion Pax out of the deal is even more awesome.

Honestly? It comes with a really nice version of one of the best deluxe Optimus Primes in the last decade, and he's a nice throwback to E-hobby Orion Pax. There's plenty to recommend him.

Same here. Plus I never experienced the linebacker prime mold, so that was a nice bonus.

Besides the gun I'm not liking WFC Prime that much but I don't know how to sell him.

Fellow Seibertronian Maverick Prime has just told us that a video review is now up for the Movie Bumblebee Tribute 3 pack. The video review is by Chefatron who compares each toy to their original. It is here that we see how few differences there are on some of them.

Let us know if the lack of differences still warrants double dipping.

Talk about "double-dipping"...
.... Post a double post!

Despite my general disdain for Bumblebee figure saturation, I admit to having several of them. I missed out on Classic Deluxe Bumblebee, which is still arguably the best. Until they put out "The Legacy of Bumblebee" 3-pack at Walmart. It contained TFA Deluxe Bumblebee, a repainted Classics BBee, and ROTF Deluxe BBee with a better paint job.

Sure, they were all Bumblebee. But at least that pack had some real variety to it. This new 3 pack is just 3 'different' Bayverse versions.

I felt kind of bummed out on the changes made to the set. TLK Bee would go well as an altmode display for his smokey gray windows, but only if there wouldn't be any feet issues with the retail one (which will forever have the cannon). While I like the look of the normal High Octane Bumblebee, I guess this one will have to do since I missed out on the AOE version. I think that there needs to be the paint apps like the Movie Advanced version to justify it being different enough. And as for the 07 Deluxe, I guess it's neat to have it for nostalgia sake (and for the vintage feel of the garage box set), but it looks off next to the other Deluxes at least in robot mode. The removal of paint apps like the scorches is kind of lame on Hasbro's part, and while I hated the black paint (and the head sculpt) of that Bumblebee, the silver paint doesn't do much favors in improving it either.

All in all, I'll still get the set, but not for the asking price that Hasbro would go for. If I get it at a discount (depends on where I get it), then I will pick it up.

Probably going to try and snag this set to custom paint the Evasion and TLK Bee, then have an extra copy of each to keep unchanged. I don't have that first movie Bee yet, but I'm not a huge fan of the bot mode so I'll probably transform him a few times and keep him in car mode for display.

Really hope we get an updated toy for that car mode at some point.

ShockBlade501 wrote:Is anyone actually gonna buy this with that Power of the Primes Optimus with the super accurate Orion just on the horizon?

I largely prefer this version than the anime acurrate one.
Because it's precisely anime accurate from an old anime without imagination and plain designs when they were not based on toys.

I'll get Potp prime, but for the combined form, not for Orion.


I even hesitate to wait in case there's a retool in the line with another design for the small figure.

I was a little interested until I saw the review. Why did they make the Evasion Bee that glaring yellow? The gold looks so much better. The cars looked decent, but then I saw the robot modes and I remembered why I didn't want Evasion Bee the first go 'round. Looks great as a car, looks awful as a bot. I like my DOTM Cyberfire Bee and Leader Bee just fine and I don't need another movie Bee right now. I'm still waitin' for Cogman and Dragonstorm. The local TRU has cleared out all TLK deluxes they had, so I'm hopin' to see the next wave here soon.

Well I gotta say I was insterested because believe it or not I’ve never owned a movie bumblebee...then I clicked the link and saw it was $60....nah I’m good

No thanks the only one in here i'm into is the TLK one and i'll get him when he comes out here in AUS

Yeah... I'd be into it at $40-45, maybe $50, but @60 is way too much for (in my case) only one new mold and 3 figures I mostly want to paint. I'll wait and hope the price drops after a while.
