Hate to say it, but if it weren't for the deformed proportions, this would have to be one of the best looking Primes around in terms of colour, style, lights and detail. Makes me want one!

I'm not into the whole deformed thing, but even so the details and shapes are pretty badass for something so... cutesy. One thing is a bit perplexing though; What's with angle on his wrists? Early pictures here seem to show the ends of his forearms at a clean and strait angle, and now they're bent ridiculously inward.

Edit: Need to remind myself not to get excited about overpriced crap :BANG_HEAD:

That thing is so adorable... Can you imagine him talking with a high-pitch voice, trying to sound serious? I can and can't help but laugh...

they need to make Starscream like this.....and lower the price because that's a lil expensive for such a tiny figure. if he was 12 inches or higher then ok but yeah.

Ah, Chibimus Prime.

This thing's been on pre-order at my local hobby shop, and it's been tempting me to no end...and I don't even collect SD!

There's just something inexplicably cool and badass about it, despite those cutesy proportions. I just love that it lights up in so many places, especially the Autobot logo.

I just can't see myself paying that much for a non-transforming OP, though, and an SD one at that.

You're not being trolled. It's a low production specialty item compared to regular retail items. The amount of batteries and lights in this toy are what justifies the price. It's a high end collector's item.

Each light has its own set of AG1 batteries. A set of three of those batteries from Energizer or Duracell (which will last much longer than the cheap versions sold on Amazon or eBay) will run around $15 or so. Each foot has a set of batteries, as does the gun, the chest, the head, and the left shoulder/Autobot symbol. I like this approach so that the figure can retain its posability instead of being limited because of wires running from a common battery source.

Looking forward to Megatron!

I haven't decided whether or not I'm getting this, but it looks pretty fun. As far as desk fodder at work goes, this is top of the line, and adorable to boot. Might just have to make the plunge.

You know, I'm one of the first people to shout down non-transforming "junk" ... but this ... this I actually like!

Thu Jan 02, 2014 11:05 pm

I like this fig. I've been trying to find a cheap MP-10 for my girlfriend (believe it or not her last name is Prime) but this little fig might be a good substitute since actually transforming the figures sort of intimidates her.

Oh......and are batteries included?! i sure hope so after hearing it be explained how expensive they are.

News Credits: 1 · Thu Jan 02, 2014 11:10 pm

Normally there's only so far I'm willing to go to invest in a non-transforming "Transformer" but right about now I'm coveting this thing so badly I'm seriously debating which internal organ I need the least so I can snag this glorious work of art without shooting my whole meager budget to hell.
This is one of the coolest Primes I've ever seen and I wouldn't hesitate one second to put this in a clear display box and make it the centerpiece of my entire Prime collection.

The 15 small batteries are included inside of the figure. Unfortunately, the batteries were dying that were in his upper left arm/shoulder for the Autobot symbol. I thought the light seemed really weak at first and then it quit working altogether. $17 later at Walgreens, I was the proud owner of 3 new Energizer 364 batteries that are the same as the AG1 batteries. Supposedly, the name brand batteries of this type will last much longer. However, you can get cheaper versions that don't last as long from Amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/SE-AG1-Batteries-Pkg-10/dp/B003OD8DAE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388726734&sr=8-1&keywords=ag1. I couldn't complete the gallery without the batteries all working so I had to buy the more expensive ones instead of being able to wait for the ones from Amazon.

Optimus Prime looks a little like a cylon under that helmet.

Why is his helmet and other parts even removable? It's... rather creepy.

The Paint looks awesome. Looks better than MP-10's paint work =X

Fri Jan 03, 2014 7:34 am

It's... actually larger than I expected. I was expecting maybe 4" tall. not 6"-7".

Suddenly Masterpiece Primes head looks out of proportion now ;-)

I'm thinking really hard about if I should get him or not. I normally don't buy non-transformable merchandise but I might get it. I'm just waiting to hear what the plastic quality is like from some reviewers.

*hopelessly hopes for a Starscream version!

The plastic quality is nice. It doesn't feel fragile. He has a little bit of weight to him. He comes in at 9 ounces. In comparison, the larger and taller Masterpiece Soundwave figure (without any cassettes in him), weighs in at 14 ounces.
