Megatron looks epic, Optimus is kind of alright. Still way too expensive for me though.

These look really great, but they're not worth $85 to me. I wish someone would make a voyager or leader based on the IDW ongoing Megatron with a stealth jet alt mode. That would make me very happy

Have i missed some thing, why is Prime a Decepticon?

The 'Con symbols on Prime make it that much more appealing. Even more glad I put in an order now...

Hot damn tamale, Charlie! Mine prayers have been answered. Thank Primus!

I honestly have no idea. I assume more will be revealed when the bior is published. At the moment tho', in lieu of the 2008 Voyager, he's going to be my Nemesis Prime.

Better pictures confirm what I thought were Decepticon symbols on Prime. Pretty tickled to be getting a proper Nemesis/Scourge again. The Megatron is icing.

These cost just a tad more than what Hasbro deluxes cost over here, I might pick these guys up along with something else to save on shipping. But not right now, I've already spent a lot lately.

Preorder up on BBTS:

Edit: ...already mentioned...sorry, my bad...

TFSources also has them in stock... but I just bought the last set at RobotMonsterToys.

These are pricy at $80-100 shipped.... but cripes they do look amazing. Plus, now I can arrange the Megatrons according to descending color value... gray, dark gray, black. Gonna get all OCD on that shelf.

Now, where are those War for Cybertron Seeker jets. We need those to pad the ranks and balance out all those cars.

Yes! Con logos on Prime! That means, to me at least, he'll be Nemesis Prime and not just Black Convoy. The Megatron repaint I'll probably refer to as Megaplex.

Loves me some Darkside Prime. Better buy that someday

well since i doubt we will ever see one megs might have to be WFC Galvatron

WTF!? Light blue paint apps on a BLACK Prime!? Okay now I gotta say I HATE both the repaints -_- ...As for Megatron...Let's just say that purple look far more UGLY now that the picture is more hi-res and closer ...Gee I cant see myself buying these even if I have a million dollars >.>...

Conclusion : Real ugly paint apps on such awesome molds...It's a real pity...

Ha. I just compared with the United and USA versions. Prime has some screamin' pink bits on the United version. The light blue isn't any more bright than that. I'm okay with it, especially since that metallic teal blue is pretty standard for Nemesis prime through the years.

The new paint colors pop just about as much as the original, but the solid black on the vehicle mode for Prime (ie. not a mix of red and blue) unifies the whole thing. It looks like a friggin' batmobile. I'm SO sold now. Glad I compared with the earlier versions.

Quoted because you did it about as nicely as I could have. Actually no, I couldn't have put it nicely.

I just realized I own 5 of those 6 figures...

And oddly enough each is their own character

^Word. Definitely an amazing Nemesis Prime homage, I dunno what that guy was talking about.

*gasp* Wow, he doesn't like the paint app!



Seriously, he doesn't like light blue on a black prime, who cares if we've seen it before. Now he hates all of those figures

LOL you're cool

He's complaining about something set in stone. It's like complaining that Starscream is red white and blue.

Not everyone's a GEEWUNNER. We're not going to like every paint job that's "set in stone." Heck, I hate the paint apps on Smokescreen. I've complained about it (not in public) and does that mean that I should be taunted about it? No. Just because it's "set in stone" doesnt mean we should like it. Wait, I was just redundant, wasn't I? We have our opinions, and we're entitled to it. Don't shove it down our throat.

P.S: Starscream changed colors for the movies. So if people aren't GEEWUNNERS, and they hate the old paint apps, then yes, they can complain about that.

Bay-verse fan: Bay-verse fans, put your hands up.

and, LOL We're off topic.

I hate the Black Megatron. Lovin the Prime. I'd like some of that (<--sounded weird the second time *triple facepalm*)

CrimsonPrime is acting like it's the first time he's seen teal on a Black Prime. You come into a continuity that has lasted for 27 years and you bitch about something that's been going for awhile, then you're going to get a face full of information in your face.

You want me to shove something in your face? Stop acting like you know everything and everyone else is ignorant. I'm not a bloody Geewunner, and when you post a rude picture of facepalming, and claim i'm taunting, then what the hell do you want from me?
