[CrimsonPrime]

i'll watch a review when peaugh does one. this guy needs a better review place.

Agreed.

PASS, he should be alot bigger in robot mode, at least 1 1/2 the size of Leader Prime, and even bigger with the suit on.

I still think we need a HA Prime.

Yeah I suppose.With that kind of price tag you expect him to be bigger than Ultimate BB >.<...As for the HA Prime...Chances are we wont get one cause of the size issue and what-not.

On topic...Damn this guy look worse than Kre-O Optimus in BOTH mode !!! Here's some cons I saw atleast from the video :-

1) The trailer is FAR from the truck...It's supposed to be closer.
2) 80-90$ for an Optimus that doesnt even look close like the CGI!? Seriously the robot mode looks far worse than the first Movie Voyager >.>...
3) HUGE monkey-like arms...
4) Small for a 80-90$ price tag...
5) Damn simplistic transformation...
6) The trailer is pretty much useless in alt mode...

And I got all that just from watching the Transformation video...Imagine if I were going to check the first video...The cons will pile up so much that it will make people who buy this piece of crap feels like a piece of crap...

Agreed.

IMO, I like to think of Peaugh as a Professional Reviewer - this guy's more of doing it casually.

Can I dream along with you? Not to sound cynical, but cash and time spent designing this figure could've gone into a HA prime. With Peter Cullen and David Kaye as human partners thrown in.

I don't like this figure, but I'm interested. I'll pick him up if I manage to get a hefty discount; in M'sia, this thing would probably go for $100.

I really like he bit between 5:42 and 6:10

I me be the only one but I don't consider giant kibble flaps pointing upward a valid contribution to height measurement.

Come on guys !

When Takara anounced Voyager OP with trailer, everybody complained that the toy was a crap because the trailer was a useless weapons-cabinet in robot-mode.

Now that Hasbro releases Ultimate Prime with a trailer that actually transforms into something (battle armor + wings),
the toy is a crap because the trailer is useless in vehicle-mode (i.e. other TFs cannot be transported inside).

So, what do you guys want ? I am myself reasonably satisfied with both Takara's Jetwing OP and Hasbro's Ultimate OP besides the imperfections. After all, any design is constrained by trade-offs.

By the way, is Ultimate Prime painted in silver or is it just bare gray plastic ? What about the trailer paint-apps ?

[Counterpunch]

Is this thing OK or is it terrible? I can't tell.

I am not even sure Prime has this mode in the film...

(thanks for the review though, it was at least interesting to see)

Im realy suprised im actually not a big fan of this, watching that video put me off.

Absolutely. Peaugh probably gets more hits from this site, than most anywhere else. Heck he even gets the odd add planted in front of his reviews.

Like some of you, I'm trying really hard to like it but...it's just so hard. I was all "It can be a new Omega Prime!"...but... the regular Prime just looks so lame. Maybe if you could substitute a better Prime like the HFTD Voyager or something, but I'm almost certain Hasbro wouldn't put that much thought into it. I would probably buy this if it costed maybe $60, but $80-$90 is just too much.

...he should be alot bigger in robot mode....

That's what she said!
