I've been thinking of either getting NightWatch Prime or Classics Prime, and I'm not sure of which one I should get. I know NW is bigger and he looks cool, but there's just something nostolgic about Classics. Plus he is half the price, and could become harder to find.

Thanks!

NW Prime is a far more intricate transformation, and your right, he does look cool.

However his weapon sucks, he has alot of kibble, and seems to large when compaired to the rest of the figures.

Classics Prime is more to scale, posses great, and has 2 cool guns. His alt is extremely lacking.

So if I had to decide, well....

Hell, I got two of each, get NW Prime now cause he's a limited run, and with Takara rehashing the line, Classics Prine will still be atainable too even if you have to wait a bit.

But if you can, I'd just spend it now, another $20 wont make or break ya!

Classics Prime is the way to go

Dont encourage habro to do batman figure esque repaints.
Nightwatch prime? What the hell does that even mean, he repaints himself at night?

A repaint should be new character, or a g1 homage, not an adjective stuck before the name of the character.

Go with Classics Prime. He's among the best Prime figures around. Sturdy, poseable, and just generally PRIME.

I'll add my support to the case for Classics Prime. When I first saw the topic I thought it was gonna be something like "if you had to pick 1 Prime toy out of them all which would it be?" so I considered all the options while the thread loaded and still came to the Classics decision.

I'm for classics prime.
He looks better in both modes and has lots and lots of wepons cleverly hidden in his alt mode! ^^

Thanks for the input guys! ok Classics Prime it is. I just wish he didn't have that yellow paint on him. It's the only problem I can see

Damn, late to the party again, but FWIW...

I'm for classics prime.

I agree exc. for the alt mode, Classics Prime's is not very realistic, and that's what I like in alt modes. but I'm a sucker for alt modes that hide weapons, as well as robot modes that can store said weapons without forcing the robot to hold it in his hand. Plus, NW prime doesn't look like Movie Prime, while Classics Prime is Prime all the way. Or most of the way, anyway.

Classics Prime is a great choice!

He realy is a fun bot.

However to everyone bashing NW Prime, I have to say, I HATE REPAINTS!

Looking at news post pics of this figure made me not care for him what so ever, still In hand...

This figure has something about him that the pictures aren't picking up. Again, I hate repaints, and usualy skip them quick!

However this figure I had to get and I'm glad I did. I haven't introduced him to the rest of the collective yet so I'm still undecided as to if he's going to be good or evil.

See reguardless of the bio, when I buy a figure it's mine, and I'll give it whatever backround I see fit.

Scourge has been out of comission lately(TM2 Megtron removed his light piping), and this would be a nice upgrade.

Then again, he does look real heroic...

Any thoughts?

i say buy what you want. if you think it's cool, then it's cool. so buy what what you like. my advise is this; get what you want within the bounds you can afford. if you can afford both, then get both. it's a toy. just make sure and save the box.
