I really want to get into the Mp line but aside from the price tag the Quality control seems to be shaky..I hear that the MP figs can be frgile at times..Hell I bought the Mp wal mart Skywarp and with no pressure at all the nose cone snapped right off..

That clear trailer does look nice though...

I've also heard about some Q/C/fragility issues, but I've been fortunate. I've every MP figure released to date (except the Hasbro DVD and 20th Anniversary versions of MP-1). I haven't had a single problem, yet. I hope my luck continues with this one (crossing fingers)

That trailer has put my decision to stay away from this odd repaint into question. Hrm, decisions, decisions...

Anyone have any idea as to any durability concerns with the clear plastic? especially with an MP line. Makes me wonder about MP Ghost Screamer too...

I like the battle damage on the figure. Would have preferred a black trailer though to match the figure. If the trailer is clear then I would like the figure to be as well. Mixing them does not work for me.

The trailer looks pretty cool but I still don't understand why anyone would want a dead Optimus Prime.

I just don't see the point in making a trailer transparent. I agree with Zeds above that a black trailer would make more sense. It would also be something I would shell out the cash for.

It's a momentous occasion, though I can think of another momentous occasion that doesn't get repainted nearly enough:

what? no battle damage???

i would buy this if it didnt come with the trailer.

the trailer will just make the price too much.

why would dead prime need a trailer for anyways?

The lack of battle damage is......bizarre. I have come across a few Primes (Hasbro 20th Masterpiece) that have come with too much or unnecessary battle damage. Yet the one time where it would be appropriate, Takara decides to skimp on the damage? Makes no sense. There should be a myriad of cracks and wounds on his body. Maybe a slight head remold with damage ears/antennae. This sleep mode version just seems like a lie to me.

As for the trailer, it looks nice, but it is not needed. We certainly did not see Prime's trailer after he died. I may be a sucker for translucent plastic, but I have a hard time justifying the inclusion of this trailer. The trailer only drives up the price.

There IS battle damage. Can't you see that they highlight the tiny bit of missing paint where Megatron sliced through his side with a lightsaber?

LOL, not sure if you are being sarcastic or not (darn internet). We shouldn't have to squint to see the small amount of battle damage that is present. Prime looked like crap after that battle.
