If I may put in a request: do you think we could get comparison shots of these:

- Ultimate Optimus Prime
- RotF Optimus Prime + Jetfire combo
- Jetwing Optimus Prime

...once all three galleries are done?

Yes! Yes! size comparison whit Optimus + Jetfire!!!

I also would like to see a comparison in vehicle mode of some DOTM molds:
Ultimate OP (cabin + trailer) x Leader Sentinel Prime x Voyager Ironhide

Somehow, I have the feeling that Ultimate Prime truck cabin is in a reasonable scale with Sentinel's fire engine.
It would be great if pics of that size comparison could be added to the photo gallery.

Someone should put it to a vote. I'd be curious to know how many yay's and Nay's on the Ultimate Prime.

Hear mister elitist, so I'm 26 and like it. I must be 8 years of mental age then?

I dig it, and I'm gettin it. I have the best movie prime allready, Buster version 2 mind you. But I'm still gettin it, it has a nice scale, bigger then voyager smaller then leader. And I like the trailer.

I actually like the "simpler" look/transformation of the figure then ROTF B2.
Then again, I love the euro exclusives

Definately a pass for me! The forearms totally kill its displayability and there is no way there isn't a support or hand photo-shopped out in the pic holding the big gun. Another one for the kids I think, which is fine by me - they are more likely to leave the masterpieces, generations and classics on the shelf! lol

The small head in "Ultimate Mode" is just too distracting for me. I'd probably be able to get past that if I didn't have the Classics Henkei + D.I.A. Commander and if I had never seen the JW Prime.

Yeah, just vehicles...no robot modes...

I didn't realize Masterpiece Prime was so gigantic. That's not in scale with any of my transformers...

Ahh, but you didn't read the fine print...it reads:
biggest piece of crap Optimus Prime toy

who is "Supreme Prime"?? This thread is about "Ultra Prime". If there is a "Supreme Prime", it isn't Ultra Prime.

You are right, sorry for the mistake.

For me, the price isn't even an issue. I spent more than $89 on my Classics Henkei ($69) and my D.I.A. Commander trailer/armor ($119). I don't have a problem spending on a Transformer who's quality is high. The Takara Transformers are of a higher quality than the Hasbro Transformers and to me, they are worth it. Yes, the Ultimate costs less, but I think it's priced too high for what it is. One could argue that the whole setup is the cost of one high quality Fansproject trailer, but to me, not offering a larger head to be in scale with attached pieces, just doesn't look right and I don't see how they wouldn't have noticed that once they completed a prototype. Imagine a G1 Ultra Magnus that didn't come with a larger add on head and how strange that would look. That is the thing I can't get past with the Ultra Prime.

I'll buy him if I can find him cheaper, maybe $50 or 60. I like what I've seen so far. His size makes up for a lot of sins in my book, and the larger cab section will be great to have. (I happen to love my ROTF Supreme Devastator, he scales well w/ Legends figs and looks great w/ little Mudflap in his mouth.)

I see him as a spiritual successor to G1 Powermaster Optimus Prime w/ Apex Armor, aka God Ginrai, of whom I have a re-issue. I love that guy, and he can pretty much just stand there and be badass. Could someone post pics of these two side by side?

by **Cyberion** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:55 pm

I dunno man. I still can't get past the small head in relationship to the fully armored figure. If they at least gave a bigger head to go on top of the figure's head, I could get with it but compared to the Jetwing Prime, this just doesn't do it for me. My 12 year old would probably love it.

Not digging this. Will pass.

Peaugh has a way you could detach the mask from the gun and put it on prime (without the gun attachment), there you go with a better head scale.

To me though I don't really care cause the scale really makes it impressive.
