Hmmm...I wonder what it means...

made in Chinatron?

They'd seriously make more money by making them. They could have like autobot sets or decepticon sets or whatever, add ons for the toys, it would be sweet. It reminds me of those things they made for Star Wars when I was younger. It came with like a crap load of guns, lightsabers, and some sort of grapple-hook backpack.

There was even that pimp-my-cliffjumper thing that came out a while ago, people were after it like crazy and it cost 3x as much as the actual figure!

I hope that I can find that sword

I just have to completely agree with you!

Especialy snce they started standardizing rockets and gun grip sizes. (thank you AEC for doing that).

Make all types of guns, swords, replacement rockets, and everything else under the sun.

Sell them on carry cases so stray parts don't get lost(maybe a alt for the case too, like a gun placement or something) like the Sigma6 guys had and yeah that would sell, I'd buy it!

Oh and the should have rounded this witha lightpiping core to blade to make it look more like the movie weapon.

Normaly I wouldn't care, but this is the "Premium Series" so I would like to expect the extra mile...

When I heard about the Blade replacement, I didn't think giant freaking huge blade. I am SO getting Premium Nightwatch Prime now.

Hm, so why is it on Nightwatch Prime? Did he just take it off the Premium Prime and attach it to N.W. Prime? Or will Nightwatch Prime have a blade/a Premium version?

nice blade!
but not worth 40 bucks. its not even clear.
gotta work harder hasbro.
I could just take an orange CD case and cut it up

Why doesnt hasbro make accessory packs? Oh i know why then we cant buy the same figure 3 god damn times. If it has the nightwatch colors then ill buy it. If it doesnt then ill try and make a blade for my Prime. Im sure they planed this out this way. They should have made the blade come with the first Prime along with the gun. But no they just want to milk this thing out for as long as they can.

I love that blade! Its the most accurate version i have seen apart from the color of course. I heard the premium LDR Prime will come with a remolded head, anyone got any pics of that?

What other (non kitbash) Blades have you seen?

Man that sword's nice, just don't want to shell out another $40 for pratically the same Prime

Very interesting indeed, does it comes with Bonecrusher's head on a silver tray?

I like it

With fava beans and cianti? ff-ff-ff-ff~

Joke aside, I honestly agree with the accesory pack idea. I mean, we've had Transformers Playsets in the past (they rampant in some parts of G1 and Beast Wars) and they looked pretty sweet- so why not go with something every Transformer could use? That's essentialy what minicons were too, and those things sold like hotcakes (note to self: make hotcake minicon, it'll sell itself...)

There's that guy that's pushing for a petition to get TF:Animated out on shelves sooner- I say we start one to get accessories for our figures, starting with individual swords for this guy :b

underwear ninja:


I agree with you 100%, an accessory pack will be just perfect instead of spending another $40.00 (I am not planning on do it by the way) Where do I sing this petition -not for animated they s##k-

Sweet! They would made that as part of the official release if kids were prone to poking their eyes out and swallowing things they shouldn't!

Ah, no petition just yet :[ But if there's enough people interested than perhaps there should be one...

Do people actually care about petitions?

Petitions are like dreams or nightmares... are they real?

Sonray wrote:Do people actually care about petitions

I wouldn't underestimate the power of a well done petition. If presented and thought out well, they can really help. Also here in the U.S petitions are partially protected under the constitution, so they're also reasonably safe to do Might not always work, but I've seen them work pretty well when they do.

If I could keep it organized online, I'd honestly be having that sucker filled out. But if anyone else does it, I'll gladly help ya!

Hrmm, maybe I should re-iterate that the Blade will only come with the Premium line Optimus Prime and not the regular Nightwatch Prime?

Hasbro was questioned at a Joe con during the Sigma era about doing accessory packs for the figures instead of releasing another figure. Many collectors were upset at this point over the over saturation of many different Dukes. Hasbro responded that they did consider doing something along those lines but decided against it once they figured out the cost would be only a few dollars cheaper than releasing a figure with it. A Transformers kit would probably have the same problem.
