But TF Prime designs are nothing but toned down Bayformer design language... ? Sorry, totally disagree. TF Prime designs fit comfortably next to Bayformers and awkwardly next to G1 designs. Solid bricky block'yness vs splintered organic humanoid gundamness.

The TF Prime design is the magnificent love child of momma Animated and Poppa Bayverse!

And I'm perfectly okay with that.

OH HOLY FREAKING GOD PLEASE MAKE IT SO!!!!

And make it Voyager-scaled while you're at it. My Classics Megatron is feeling quite lonely. Or, if Hasbro really loves us, make it a Leader class and have an equally-scaled Megatron to accompany him.

Just be a flat nose semi and I will buy you.... (damn my love for prime)
an opening chest matrix gimmick would be nice for my classics hasbro.

Nah, not too many whatsoever.



The worst part is that Hasbro most likely has released more Bumblebees in the past five years, while this sucker took the entirety of the Transformers franchise.

Heck, they even haven't officially released the "iPod" version of the G1 for the international market yet. As for the gun, reminds me of "Leader One" And that Optimus with the Tomy gun........pass!

I guess I'm the only one who hated the classics Prime mold. The alt mold was passable. The bot mode had so much potential that was ruined by kibble, particularly the forearm kibble. Totally ruins the mold for me. I'm digging this new artwork minus the autobot insignia on the chest. I bet if a toy were to ship that way, a little alcohol and a reprolabels sticker would take care of that lickity split. This could potentially be the figure that ends my longtime purchasing drought.

Wouldn't surprise me if this guy got released. It's rather evident that MP Prime was a smash hit, but not everyone could afford him (never mind finding him TO buy), so it would seem logical to release a standard priced version of G1 (-esque?) Prime in it's wake.

Yank out the lever and the swivel problems are eradicated.

If it turns out to be true, then it's great news to me. I've been really looking forward to seeing some IDW designs made into toys.

But with that said, IMO MP-10 Optimus is pretty much my definitive G1 Prime (not trying to showboat here.) It would still be nice to have an IDW version of G1 Optimus, though.

And some hot glue. That's pretty much what I did to my mini Optimus.

If they're making a toy of IDW G1 ongoing Optimus, could there be an IDW G1 ongong Megatron toy also in the works?

They would both need to be voyager size for them to work, but it would be awesome. With Megs back in RID at the moment and the inevitable return of Orion Pax on the horizon I cant see why this isnt a real possibility. Just not too sure on the targetmaster aspect

Allow me to blow it once more. Have the two toys be able to combine into a hypothetical "IDW Guiltaur" form.

It's most likely Roller that Optimus is wielding. Megatron, if he comes with one, will probably come with a drone ala Generations Thunderwing.

That's it, you're not allowed to post on this thread for the next day as I process how awesome that would be.

And the mouthplate on this Optimus toy could be retractable like those on the Cybertron Leader class and Animated Voyager class figures.

And Megatron could have detachable armor pieces with battle-scarred limbs underneath to enable one to switch him from "pristine" to "battle scarred" looks. The extra armor pieces would join together to form additional weaponry when not worn.

And Optimus could have a removable Matrix.

And Megatron could have glow-in-the-dark paint apps on his purple bands to emulate their glowing.

And both would have double-jointed knees for optimal articulation ranges.

Only those two get it for me.

An IDW Optimus Prime figure? I'm down for that!

I think I'd rather see a g2 voyager megatron over another g1.

Nice prime.

Don't correct him. He doesn't like being corrected.

There's also this G2 Megatron. Not spitting-image deco, or a Voyager, but I'd let it slide:

It would be such a cool mold, if it wasn't for the way the tank's main gun becomes his arm.

The way that part is able to spin reminds me a helluvalot of Dinobot; that's why it's cool to me.
