About the size of a Deluxe figure


That makes for a good size to accompany my Classics figures. I never got a Classics Bee or Jumper (and wouldn't get Jumper with a Bee head) and watching G1 again, I really love Cliffjumper. Iffin Alternity gives him a good Jumper head, I will get him.

Dunno if I even need a Bee, but at this point I can't decide if Alternity or Classics Bee would be best.
I highly doubt that Alternity Bumble - Pearl Red wil have a Cliffjumper head since he's still supposed to be Bumblebee.

Hmm, about number one I didn't know about it and didn't check about it.

About number 2 I re-checked HLJ and the retail price for the first version and it is cheaper than the new "buster" version. The first version is listed for 6800 JPY (it's the retail price, not a sale) and the "buster" version is going to have a retail price of 7800 JPY, which is a 1000 JPY in difference. So, they're not the same price in Japan.

That's why I said "around". the new Buster therefore costs €7.53 (or $11) more than the first, huge difference.

Damn, that is tempting. If I was ever to get a Movie Prime that would be the one. Paint job is dead-on. Mould is best yet, and the back kibble turning into a gun, very cool.

I've read on other sites that one of the Alternity BB's did appear to have different head, keeping my fingers crossed. I'll probably get the buster prime swap out the heads and keep buster in bot mode and the regular one in alt mode.

I seriously concur.. and to prove the point that this is the definitive Optimus Movie Live action figure.. go to this youtube scene shot. and at exactly 1 minute, and 2 seconds.. the whole gun modification that takara Tomy has done will be clear and make you want this figure even more..

I agree. I don't even like the new head scuplt, and while the new paint scheme is better it doesn't really matter that much to me, the new weapon on the other hand is the deal maker. Oh well, what are ya gonna do?

I also somewhat agree, although I really love chromed parts, but anyway, we have a cheaper way to get the guns. Didn't TFC announced a second Gears Of War pack with the 2 Movie Prime guns? We can buy that package instead. That is probably what I'm going to do.

I have the first Gear of War set and it's not very good, which makes me a little gunshy about their products. I also love the idea that the weapons are intergrated into his transformation. I'm a sucker for that sort of thing.

About its quality I have no idea as the only product I have from them is MP Starscream coronation set, but about the rest I think the same, it's much better to have the guns integrated into his transformation. The TFC product is just a cheaper way to get that. It would be really cool if Hasbro released just the modified parts in a separate small package to be replaced in our Primes, but I know that will never happen.

It would be nice if Hasbro would do that, but like you said that will NEVER happen. I don't that going with the TFC would really be that much cheaper. The first Gear of War set was what, $45.00? I'm sure this set will be expensive as well. Anyhow, I'll most likely end up getting the Buster Prime.

Yeah, I'm waiting eagerly for this release. I don't really care for the new head sculpt, but the guns and the paint job I just absolutely adore.

I hate it when weapons are separate pieces, because I just lose them. Having them integrated is the best thing about these new designs (compared to when I was getting Transformers back when I was a kid in the 80's).

I have to say, it was the final paint job that made me decide to wait. The thing that bugs me about the current paint job is the red "toe"... That just looks so weird.

Man, I hope this comes out soon! Or rather, I hope we find out if it will get a US release. This figure is awesome!

God, I really hate Hasbro for not giving us this from the start. Takara and Hasbro should merge. :?
