The Energon Pub

This is definitely a pass. The paint job is horrible on the head. I am waiting for upcoming Voyager remold or that Takara repaint with Jetfire parts. The Leader classes have been a letdown for me.

This reply is waaaay late but anyhow...

I never really thought Leader Grind/Out would exists(just REALLY hoped for it) but this toy seems to up it's chances...
Didn't that guy say in the interview that they made this toy to "reenact the forest battle?"
You can't do that without
Grindor:No..not me...OWWWAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!! *gurgle splatter crash*

Not worth my time OR money. I'm sorry Hasbro, but for the love of God, I know you can do much better.

What I hate about the Hasbro toys is that sometimes the image in the box is a whole lot better looking than the actual toy. Curse you Hasbro!!! :grin:

Line needs to be sent to pasture. This is so Summer 2009.

This is a real waste. Battle Hooks Optimus Prime? The name even sounds stupid.

Actually, I didn't realize they were hooks in the movie. I thought his energon swords just got all busted up and became little stubs. Whatever, I'm passing on this either way.

A definite pas for me too. I have the Buster Prime and he has that head sculpt already. No need to buy another prime just for the "hooks". I have three already.

Both of my blades on the current ROTF Prime suck. They won't stay in place when folded back. I hope that these hooks do stay, not that I'm getting him. Money's tight and I can only get the guys I've been saving for.

Now a decent priced Prime with a gun.... that's another story.

i wouldn't even buy this on clearance. Much rather have a Buster prime US release.

Is it me, or did Prime never have proper "hooks"?

It seemed to me that his axes just got messed up and he was using the shattered remaining strut/support/things they were affixed to. So I'm surprised and confused why they would make a toy of it.

No, what Hasbro need to do is remake the leader Megatron (an up-scaled voyager mold would be fine) and make a leader Blackout/Grindor.

Listen to us, dammit!
