The Buster part comes mainly from the inclusion of the rifle (buster rifle?), and the lack of faceplate on the original. I also believe there are chrome parts on it.

Do we really need anymore variations on "Move" prime?

Or perhaps their target audience are kids who stand in the toy isle and try to convince "mommy and daddy" that this prime is "weally weally diffwent and itz weally weally wantz itz..."
Prime (pun intended) example of why I hate all movie merchandise.

Hey! If you are going to call me a "mindless idiot", then I would appreciate it if you would tell me via PM and not post it publicly. We "mindless idiots" are real people too. We just happen to have more toys than you. I think deep down you are just jealous.

lol sorry for not PM'ing you lol
about the toys thing ... lol yeah, see my sig. I guarantee I have more toys then you. I just dont buy Movie-verse stuff. I absolutely loved the 2 bay movies, I thought they did A LOT for our brand, and brought it into the "main stream". Don't get me wrong, there are story inconsistencies that make me want to pull my hair out, and some of the s tupid SH!T M-Bay did just make me cringe (for the LOVE OF GOD, why doesn't he stay true to G1 color schemes....sidewipe..ug...ironhide...ug...etc). I probably have about 10 movie figures total, and most of those I bought had G1 "homage" association.
Ask yourself this. How many version of original G1 Optimus were released between 1984-1986? not nearly as many.
Movie-verse is a pure marketing ploy. They think we are dumb heard, and we sometimes prove this.

If you think you've got more toys than everyone else, be a bit more humble instead of flaunting that around. There are fans, not mindless idiots, who will buy every version of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee or whatever because that's their favourite character. I don't exactly agree about it, but some fans like it.
And yeah, you're right. It's all about marketing and making money. Does the justification for a Jetfire + Buster Prime repack warrant the repaint of Buster Prime? Well... that's not my question to answer because I'm not buying either, but oh well.

Has/Tak/Tom didn't create TF to make us happy or enrich our lives or anything else, they did it to make money. Us getting cool stuff is just a side effect of their drive to make money. If they need to repaint, re-release, or repackage figures to be profitable and keep the TF line alive I'm fine with that. I'm sure there are a lot of people involved with the line that are passionate about TF's, but the bottom line is turning a profit. G1 was just as much as of a marketing ploy as anything that has came after it.

Original Buster Prime:mouth & white pinstriping
2-pack Buster Prime:faceplate & blue pinstriping(which is more movie-accurate)
