No love for the 1989 rifle? You can clip the speakers onto it to make it bigger.

It's also not fully extended.

I like that Jazz much less than I expected to. Legends, I don't collect. That Prime is a cool concept of a cool figure that wasn't produced but I still don't think I need one. If I were to find them marked down eventually, I might pick up a set. Not at $40 for figures I don't actually need though.

Not sure how I missed this, but I got my pre-order in. Compared to other exclusive sets, TFCC for example, this is very reasonably priced, and they are very nice looking redecos.

Man that G2 Jazz is boss! I had a G2 Jazz back in the day, always liked how he looked. This is a welcome repaint!

As for that Prime... like I know with the name and colours he's SUPPOSED to resemble that unreleased G2 Hero Prime... but I can't look at him without thinking of Armada Powerlinx Optimus Prime

I was pretty underwhelmed with that RTS OP mold, but I really like those colors.. :-?

No real use for them in my collection... Cool, but unless it's on clearance I can live without it... They just don't fit anywhere. >:oP

Same, but this mold with the BTS Battle Tanker kit is pretty awesome, albeit expensive ($104.99 at the usual spots.)

oooh. Hadn't thought of that. I'd love to see the Battle Tanker with each of these myriad Primes and Prime repaints/retools. BTS, snap to it! LOL.

ReproLabels made an awesome sticker kit for Battle Tanker. Even cooler if they made a few different ones for the redeco's.

i have been wondering about this one since it was reported.
while the Legends size guys i am not that interested in, the dlxs intrigue me quite a bit.
at least with WM, i have a shot of getting this for a decent price.

it's 2012, we're supposed to have hoverboards (hell, Hasbro advertised in the 80s that they'd be on sale by at least 2005!)

so the scale thing isn't a huge problem...mostly because I'd just forget about those little guys.

Ahahahahahaha! The moment I finish my order on HTS.com is the same moment I get a product is in stock notice from BBTS.com!

Deluxe Autobots and Legends size Deceps? This battle is going to be over QUICK! LOL.

But actually, loving it. Wanted some more G2 bots to put with the Botcon set. Bravo.

I can't wait for this, I'm so glad I pre-ordered. Something about it is just awesome...even though I already have AE Legends Motormaster.

Lol at FOC Optimus Prime on the front. I can see the meeting now: "Um...we should add something to this box...hey, how about that? That's Fall of Cybertron Optimus Prime, that makes no sense....you know what, fine, its 5:00, lets print and get to Vegas"

Wed Sep 19, 2012 5:22 pm

If Op and Motor had been reversed, I would have bought this in a second.

Wed Sep 19, 2012 5:53 pm

Why would FOC Prime be doing? Does he want you to say "sup" at him?

News Credits: 3 · Wed Sep 19, 2012 8:49 pm

The G2 Prime repaint that never was.....until now!

And it may be just me but on the in-box pic, it looks like CH Prime is looking at FOC Prime thinking "WTF is he doing here?"
