I have been waiting since 1987 for "Rock Lords" to come back into production. I got the grey one and the green one but I always wanted the silver and gold :lol:

^^^ HAHAHAHA!! Rock lords!! My goodness, I almost forgot about them!!

I had the silver one as a kid, and lost him at the beach........

I know these are Protoform toys, but the transformations (or 'trans-morph-ations', or whatever) ARE odd - and why does Prime have tyres?! I mean, they ARE kinda primitive (not to mention they would probably melt in re-entry, heh...)

id have preferd they kept the ark and made it transform then these, the bot modes dont look too bad but "entry modes" arnt called for, im sure in space they could think of another mode to move around in, a cool space craft would have been better for me,

They look like Evangelions, the only thing is there's no NERV logo.

Having a massive starship enter the Earth?s atmosphere would be way too conspicuous. Having a drop-ship form makes perfect sense for covert entry into a planet?s atmosphere.

As for Prime?s Protoform appearance, the windows on his chest are more like Cybertron Prime?s appearance. Also, the ?wheels? are probably only used on the ground and I am guessing would fold up inside or be covered by armor for atmospheric re-entry; something that wouldn?t be practical for a toy.

They are.

Well back to discussing the toys: Are Prime's hips just normal ball-joint and sockets? Almost looked like there might be a pivot joint combined with it. Kinda like a new joint design for a new toy in Japan that I can't remember right now.

Anyone got plans to bash one into anything yet?

To me Prime looks like a cross between cybertron prime and optimus primal. especially in the legs. The other thing that puzzles me is why are their alt molds look basically identical. Aside from the details they are the same basic shape. That being said, they do look pretty cool, although they still need some work. Which since I think these are prototypes they are headed in the right direction.

Screamers head is still ugly though :shock:
