HOLY MADDNESS! It comes with an Orion head now!? Sweet deal. I just bought a couple of new figures and I can't afford this right now, man I wish. The extra head is def. what catches my eye. But what's with the extra Megatron head?

I like the Japanese G2 cape myself. Now YOU can enact a terribly obscure peice of TF lore!

I'd be more excited about an Orion Pax head if it looked good. The Megatron head is a nice, wacky, sort of addition. I dunno if it's soemthing I'd ever use, though.

After looking at this again ... while it's a great figure, it's just not soemthing I want. I'd rather put the money I COULD use to get him and get a mold I don't, really, already have.

Hopefully, Peaugh will make a review of this guy. I really wish I had this guy, he'd look great next to MP Skywarp and the future Grimlock. The only thing that puzzles me is the Megatron head. Does it go with the MP Megatron/MP Megatron's smaller counterpart, or can Prime wear it and pretend to be Megs, or even a little gruesome wall decoration for Prime's fireplace? :lol:

...EUREKA I'VE GOT IT.
The Megatron head is so you can make it like that G1 episode where the cons "dressed up" as the Autobots to frame them as the bad guys.

Thank you, but I was talking about an update review for this one. As for WarzoneBeta's idea...

Oh, yeah, I forgot all about that! Good analysis skills! :APPLAUSE:

Was it in the episode Prime Target? I usually watch the G1 episodes sometimes, but that totally slipped my mind!

I haven't seen the pre-orders for the first batch. Perhaps TFSource isn't selling this, or I'm blind. I am interested and getting one though.

No, TFSource nor any of the other sites will sell him due to being a Hasbro mold that is minaturized so you can only buy him from i-Gear's shop.

These guys are pretty expensive for ko's. What are the chances Has/Tak will ever make a mini version themselves? or maybe even a clear mp-01 ?

News Credits: 2 · Wed Jun 23, 2010 8:18 pm

They're not KO's theyre third party-fan made figures made with great quality. In a sense they're knock offs because they're miniaturized versions of pre-existent but other than that, that is it. It's pricey because the production is quite expensive and they need to make a profit.

Nope, if it was meant to reference that it would have been a Starscream head as it was him who disguised himself as Prime.

What's the difference between this and an oversized Alternator or Animated fig? So this might be better quality, but they're all Hasbro/TakTom molds produced by people that don't have legal right to do so...in other words, they're all knockoffs.

Bah I'm conflicted. On one hand I want a Prime and Megatron to go in scale with my G1 cartoon set of mostly classics. On the other hand, I have Henkei Prime coming and I was fine with him serving as my Prime. Is Ultra Magnus supposed to be taller than Optimus? If so than this wouldn't be to scale with City Commander.

Also, Masterpiece Grimlock is just a hair taller than PP01, isn't he supposed to be taller than that? If so I'll just stick with Henkei Prime. That still leaves me no Megatron though, and I want an accurate G1 megs to go with my set.

The quality of this figure is shocking. I am very disappointed with it as this is the most I have ever paid for a transformer.

1. Chest does not clip together have to take matrix out to get anywhere close
2. Both arms broke
3. Leg pin fell out so legs wont clip together in truck mode
4. Chest tabs broke off

I have only transformed 3 or 4 times but EVERY time something has broken or fell off.

I am very careful with my transformers so its not like I am being rough when transforming.

I have asked for a refund and wont be buying from igear again
