Clash of the Primes-

Ok, so I got Encore Optimus Prime, but HE BROKE. Yea, out of the box. The smalestack was broken before I took him out.

So, I returned him and got my money back.

Now, I am having second thoughts.

So, which version of G1 Prime would you guys get:

G1 Prime, G2 Prime, Takara reissure book Prime, TRU Hasbro Prime, or Encroe Prime?

Get the Encore, it has the better smokestacks.

If you really dont want it anymore go G2.

The Takara book-style reissue #0 is kinda hard to find nowadays. And expensive. (it also has the longer smokestacks)

Which ever version of G1 Prime you can get cheapest (it is a must have, thought personally I wouldnt bother trying to get all, the tiny different viriaties) AND G2 (cuase the G2 one is cool).

Encore. 'cause he has the

tampo painted on and no need to apply stickers(unless of course you want to).

Also, he is still prob the cheapest now.

Ok, well the Encore Prime just doesn't feel 'authentic' since he has his symblod painted on him.

Did any other G1 TF have this?

This Prime is one of my favorites, dont know why, wish I could just buy him and not megs, and paint a few of em.

Worst prime? WW tit Prime only cause of lack of posablity but a great figure for displaying. But RiD Prime and Cybertron are bleh..=\ Maybe cause I love tractors.. :-?

The bot is nice, but the alt on that Prime is poo. Of the Primes I have, he's my least-favorite. Of the Megatrons I have, that same Megatron is also my least-favorite. I saw the Ultimate Battle two-pack at Wally World yesterday...I thought it was a TRU exclusive since I'd only seen it there in the past.

I agree on the alt form is fugly, and megs is kinda reminescant (sp?) to his G2 looks.

And sorry for the quality of the image, gateway digicam =P

Same here, even with the short stacks. However the Takara book reissue is quite tasty, someday I will pick it up as well.

Scroll up, some did answer. i_am_trunks said G2 if you dont like the G1, I had g2 and it was basically identical to G1 just with a black trailer and a sound thinger majigger that could be attached to the trailer in the front.
