I don't have any one OP from the Prime line yet because it's been a conundrum for me also. But when I saw from the Botcon picture footage of the upcoming Weaponizer Prime it has my full attention. Now if you could consider this and don't mind waiting longer then of course by all means go for the one that currently pleases you. But IMO Weaponizer Prime has a greater cannon than the first PRID Prime and his gimick is cool looking. Naturally it makes me think what the Takara version will look like but it's something to consider so good luck dude!

And of course it's larger. Somewhere between Ultra/Leader size with (I think) a $30-ish price point from what I recall someone saying or theorizing. I do recall it having a rather substantial backpack from botcon pictures, presumably due to the gimmick.

Haha, I think I'm the only one who will ever say this but I prefer AM01 to FE Prime.

I really like the head sculpt and stuffs, I mean overall the transformation is way cooler than the FE one and the backpack is not all that bad. I have to say the overall feel of AM01 works better for me.

If you're wondering, I have both but I guess I prefer the AM01 over the FE one but that's just me..

You're right !!! Weaponizer Optimus really looks amazing!!!! But do you know when he will be available to purchase? Because I can't find any information yet.

RID Optimus Prime is a great figure. I personally like it better than the FE- it's like they fine-tuned little things regarding transformation, engineering, etc. The vehicle mode looks better than FE and if you really are off-put by the clear blue plastic and lack of red on his chest use a red sharpie and you can fix it yourself. Very fun toy and looks great with the rest of them.

If I had to take a guess I would say in the fall but for anyone who knows for sure please give us the word! So in the mean time I will continue to wait patiently... .

I own R.I.D Prime and he's o.k. His vehicle mode is a little small in my opinion,but his overall look in both modes is pretty good. I ended up paying about 30 bucks retail down here... Which is not all that good.

I still think FE is better though, but not by much.

Weaponizer looks like the definitive verse though. And since I like my leader class figures, I''m sure
I'll pick him up when his released. For now R.I.D is a good option.

To its credit , he's quite pose able, although his weapon is garbage, his 5mm fist ports allow you to give him any gun you want.

Checkout siggy for weapons and pose.

I was skeptical when I got it because of all the flak it got. I needed a prime in my collection and FE was waaaay too expensive so when RID hit my walmart I just walked right to it and bought it without giving it a second thought. Once I got home and it was opened and in my hands, though, I was really pleased with it. It has great articulation, good proportions, intuitive transformation (especially no chest-cheating) and it's in scale with everything else.

But the blue forearms were too much for me. So I took peaugh's advice and took a red sharpie to some of the bits. Greatest thing I could've done to it.



And because the sharpie only set me back the price of a gumball, I'm thoroughly pleased.

Yes buy him. He is a great figure and easy to find.

I don't think the FE will be re-released anytime soon...
I kind of feel he's overrated; we might not be having
this discussion if the clear parts/gun crap nonsense
didn't happen. PRID has more articulation and a great
looking alt mode.

Definitely prefer the plastics on the FE though. Great
looking colors. The AM01 would be the figure to buy if
not for the lack of paint apps.

It's a great toy
