YES! someone who agress with me! im so going for Ultimate prime. plus, i can play with that as a full on tractor trailer lol. Trailer and full armours FTW

I agree, this armour is okay, but it just doesn't look like it can form anything. It looks a tad out of place on such a detailed figure. I also really can't be asked to cough up a huge amount of money for an Optimus I already have.

The Ultimate on the other hand, forms a PROPER trailer, and I'm sure with decent transformation (not the mistransformations seen before) the combined bot mode will look great.

seriously?... you would choose hasbro's ''ULTIMATE, sorry,''pretty princess fairy prime'' over this. yes it lacks in detailing but the figure itself has to be better. the only reason i would ever get ultimate prime is if i couldn't afford takara's jet prime, or i want the trailer.

For one, ROTF Prime actually looks exceedingly accurate to the CG model in both appearance and transformation. The Ultimate Prime has the entire front section of the truck as the arms, wheels and all...

Not to mention, the Jet Pack of Jetwing Prime actually looks like what we saw in the trailers.

Actually, no toy has gotten the correct look. Prime only has 1 pair of wings, not 2.



The other pair is the tailfins from his jet boosters

I own buster. and i dont feel like getting another ROTF prime mold. and yes. I want the trailer. ;D Hey, transformers are still TOYS in the end.

My wallet is begging me not to do it...

but I may do it.

Gotta agree with you, Fairy Princess Prime is a huge P.O.S. compared to this. I really like Jetwing Prime, but I don't really want to buy another Leader class(I already have the ROTF Leader class). If they did a Voyager version though, I'd be all over it.

Very disappointed with the lack of silver, chrome and white lines around the flames, but not surprised. I suppose they had to cut corners if they were to add all those extra components. Glad I decided against ordering this.

I wish they'd keep the complexity grading the same. As far as I know, most figures come with a scale of 0 to 5 and most are graded 2 or 3. This is now classed as a 3 and is the highest level. Makes it seem like nothing more than an arbitrary box art feature.

so glad i have buster prime. this just looks dumb. like he got fused with a bee or wasp or something.

Nice to see they've made minor improvements to even further improve the accuracy of the leader Prime mold... however, Prime now appears to have an erect penis. Be careful drybrushing that, Radicons!

and btw, to whoever posted these pics. does his back wheel thingys still peg to his back or did you just leave them off. just curious.
