Of course! The story has been updated. Sorry for the oversight.

Disappointment, you have arrived..


Of all the figures I was holding out hope for, this was it. Maybe I'll snag it just for the truck and trailer mode. On clearance.

I would have rather them release the Prime with Jetfire parts trailer than this one. This one looks ok in vehicle mode but the ultimate mode just does not do anything for me.

Any word on his size class? Seems like a Voyager-Leader, because when he doesn't have his armor on, he looks Voyager-ish. And a price too? Hopefully not expensive. I think what Prime did between ROTF and DOTM is that he took Jetfire's remains and turned it into the trailer. Now that's recycling!

Looks like I'm not the only one getting an RID Magnus vibe from this. I don't think it's as bad as everyone's saying. The Movie line's given us much worse crap than this:

Scalpel, Wheelie, Fast Action Battlers, the Twins, Jetfire, the Einstein Bot, Ironhide (I hate his head), Dead End (another crap head), Starscream, the Kitchenbots.

Wow. I'm guessing this was the powered-up-Prime we saw in the super bowl trailer. Sure looked a hell of a lot better in the super bowl trailer. If this thing is really 80$ they need to at least paint the stripe on the side of Prime's trailer.

I'm guessing this is the jetpack we saw in the SuperBowl Commercial?.........

Hmm... I he had just a little less articulation he'd be a good revamp of Apex Armor Powermaster Prime.

Some thoughts...

The 'upper' wings (the bottom panels of the trailer's sides) look like they can fold straight back (check the hinges in the rear-view pic). If they have a good range of motion up-and-down, they can be put out of view reasonably well - but of course, if they can be angled down in line with the other wing panels, they might look reasonable anyway. Additionally, if those hinges allow those portions of the trailer to fold back 180' from where they start, that would suggest the trailer can practically turn inside out (presumably for the battle-deck mode) - yet, it doesn't look like the other trailer panels can fold forward or back, leaving me quite curious as to HOW they transform at all.

The 'antennae' are attached to Prime rather than the trailer - Counterintuitive? I think so. Relevant? I don't know.

I know a lot of 'blank space' is there for the mech-tech items to be added on, but I have this strong feeling that there are certain accessories missing. It lacks the jet engines from the teaser (which seem unlikely to come with someone else), and the description of it as an armory would really make you think some weapons are included.

Anyone else think the wheels look like they actually have rubber tires?

I would hope there are more paint apps coming for the trailer, but what we've seen so far lowers my expectations in that regard.

Depending on how the combat deck looks, and its size, I'd be interested to see how the hitch is made and whether it might mesh with with Classics Prime.

Wasn't there a listing for a Voyager class Prime w/ Trailer? As in, a Prime with Trailer that was priced at $20 altogether? I assumed that would be made very much like DotM Megatron, but I have to wonder if it will be a scout class prime with a transforming trailer - a scaled down version of this toy - maybe to tie in with the Cyberverse figures.

Alt mode: Awesome
Robot mode: Very cool
Robot mode w/ trailer: What the slagging hell?
So basically his Power-up mode is a bunch of long panels sticking out?
This looks like a Beast Era kibbleformer from these pics. I hope this is mistransformed like many others we've seen.
