Seibertron has done it again! Hot off his latest gallery of Titanium (RID)Opriums Prime, Ryan brings us over 250 very detailed pictures of two of the most original designs since Beast Wars. Optimus Prime is brought to life for the first time in his "Protoform" entry mode, featuring designs based on the up coming Transformers Movie, while Starscream also gets the dress down treatment for his first appearence as a Protoform.

After your done drooling over those two, why not check out more Movie galleries, such as Ratchet or Zoom Out 25x

It should also be noted that these were bought off of Wal-mart.com almost three months before their expected release dates! Way to go Ryan, keep the galleries coming!

Boy are these ugly... They don't look like they're worth the plastic they're made of. But sort of interesting nonetheless.

I believe it's fire or something, along the lines of C. Crosswise/Smokescreen's missile...

Anyway, interesting figs. Very interesting, indeed. :-?

I like. Looks very scifi-ish... Starscream looks better than Prime, mind you, but they both look interesting enough to pick up.

Cool, thanks for posting these!

The front of Optimus' proto rocket form looks, to me, like a take on his face.....the chest the eyes and that panel below his chin plate. :-?

Hey, they're up! I am really diggin' Prime now. I'll bite on that one - he looks great. Screamer...probably not.

Seibs, thoughts now that you've had them in your hands?

(PS - I like the black background paper better.)

"two of the most original designs"? lol that just made me laugh. by that do you mean two of the most unexpectedly pathetic,horrible, and uninspired pieces of crap ever?

Nice Work!

Wal-mart online sold out and most likely will be for a while.

I can see how alot of fans hate these, but besides the alt modes, these are pretty nice bots. I do agree that they don't fit the characters they're supose to represent, but they still are decent robots.

Protoform StarScream, looks way better than the regular.

The protoform Starscream is far superior to the one in the film, although the face remains unfaithful and the colors are still odd.

Still, it's clearly an improvement- the intake fans are dripping with nostalgia.

Of course there needed to be a separate post for the galleries themselves. It is Kind of a little bit new that they're up.

I was flipping through the Prime gallery this afternoon, and I'd like to know why the black background all of a sudden. Looks great, I'm just wondering the switch.

Not bad, I like the pod forms.

After reading IDW's Movie Prequel I hope we get a Bumblebee Protoform figure. Sweet Galleries Ryan, I can not wait to get these guys now :grin:

It was for the White figs originaaly, so you didn't loose them to the background. It was expensive if I recall, so we're getting th milage out of it. New back for the Movie figs.

must have!!!!!!!!!!

I like Prime, always do, but Starscream is "meh." At least his Protoform is better than that munkee he is in Earth mode.

I remember why he did it. He had us voting for which back to use for Polar Claw, remember?

What I meant is why switch now, with the last handful of galleries? I imagine it was expensive, and I'm glad to see the usage. I just found the switch a bit odd is all. Not that big a thing, really.
