Okay, all seriousness, great pics again. Awesome review, too.

Haha, thanks dude.

Thanks!

They should make that face available separately. It'd make Azalea more accurate.

Yea, kinda...

But hey, look what happened with Stealth Azalea - we might get some random stock at BBTS or TFsource for the * Edition.

This version looks unfinished and frankly, not very good. As a straight redeco with no price discount, it should have had some nice paint apps to dress it up.

Very disappointing MMC.

Same, here. The Elita One I have right now is a Thunderblast repaint and barely serviceable. Optimus Prime needs his lady!

I am in agreement. I passed on Solus Prime, but I'm really interested to see Elita-1.

what? man I think Solus is the gem of the bunch followed by Elita1, I do have a love for the 13 primes concept though.

I love the idea of the 13 Primes, but I'm not interested in having them in toy form. I like the idea of them being mythic figures or something similar.

Yeah, Optimus is the exception, but he's the Prime that survived, if you buy into that story.

I feels that for sure, I'm a sucker for the legendary badies/goodies so I try to get classics versions of them.

still need a classics Dezazarus(sp?), complete my phase sixers with mmc overlord, all 9 decepticon demon generals...yadda yadda yadda I could go on about little plastic robots all the live long day. :POWERPUFF:

See, the only reason I'm not too hot on Solus here is she's a Deluxe. Primes should be Voyagers at least IMO (with the exception of Micronus obviously).

Website · by **RK_Striker_JK_5** » Sun May 03, 2015 10:21 am

Hey, Solus does looks great. And I am excited to see more of her. It's just I'm even more excited to see more of Elita. She's been insanely underused throughout the franchise and it really angers me.

But Alpha Trion is also one of the 13. Are you saying you dont want Alpha Trion on your classics shelf ?

That's not fair - just like Optimus, Alpha Trion existed before the '13 Primes' idea took root, so he's an exception.

Well... you've got me there, though for whatever reason I use Alpha Lion as my Alpha Trion. My other Botcon Alpha Trion is standing with the Shattered Glass being all evil-y

Maybe a 13 Primes display is needed?

hmmm..... :-?

Vector Prime, Nexus Prime, and the Fallen also have toys. So if you count MMCs Solus Prime, you could have 6 out of the 13 on display. And just for fun, I would add Maketoys hyper novae and DOTM Sentinal Prime to the display.

A Thirteen display would be interesting... but also possibly always incomplete.

Would Unicron and/or Primus go there, too?

Anyway, still really hoping to see pics of Elita One or, even better, seeing her change to 'processing' at BBTS!

Honestly, I'm not getting Solus because she's one of the 13 Primes. I'm getting her because I need greater fembot representation, and she's unique enough relative to the Azalea series of molds where I feel she could stand-in for 'generic fembot number three.'
