Greeny there reminds me of the Master Chief from Halo. Anyone else agree with me? :???:

They look sweet, finally a 3rd party prime that really makes my mouth water. Been waiting for a decent voyager sized prime to add to the collection since i put my classics in the DIA Commander armor

I think one of each is definitely on the cards for me.

Lack of preorder info is annoying, especially when the site gives no details either

Not bad. I'm tempted to get the green one and call it Springer Prime.

However, Generations and The Year of Rodimus have a tight hold on my wallet.

As a GI Joe/Transformers geek, this is too tempting to pass up.

looks absolutely nothing like the rolling thunder

someone should make some custom green lantern corps decal sets for the green optimus repaint

oh and some black lantern corps decals for the eventual nemesis prime release as well

The fact that I will never own this is sad, soul crushing news. Almost as soul crushing as never having gotten the City Commander armour and being flat broke right now for the release of the protector. **** University making me broke when awesome toys are coming out...

I really like the Rolling Thunder Optimus Prime design. This toy... not so much. Even in green, the robot mode doesn't have the military look it should. Plus it really needs a second dark color, even if not necessarily the dark gray used in the design.

A sticker set might make it good enough, I guess.

For those unfamiliar with GI Joe Rolling Thunder, here's a little YouTube clip:

Seems like they missed a great opportunity to have a Roller drone...

Hmm... forum youtube doesn't seem to work. Here's a direct link anyways: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGR3pmGjGl8

This **** is green bananas full of awesome.

Green was the way to go here all along. I'm digging it although it is a bit bright. That blue cannon is silly looking too. Complaints aside, looks good enough to me. Curious how much these'll run and who'll be carrying them.

#1 - How much?
#2 - Through who?

I'm so torn. I love the prime colors, but the green is so different. I'm definitely getting one once I know where, they look amazing and their "base" actually conveys being a portable base.

I think I'll preorder one (not sure which) and wait for a review if Xovergen hit it out the park and are worth my poverty.

I'm interested, but price, as well as size will help me make the decision.

If I get the green one (which I'm leaning towards) I'd probably eventually repaint him in camo.

A preorder is available at BBTS!
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail

HOWEVER, realizing people would play favorites, it's only available in a 2-pack for both of them. All told it's about $90 per figure, but getting both is a big commitment.

That blows, unless somebody sells they or someone else sells them seperately then I wont be enjoying one. It's a shame really. Here's hoping they change their minds.

Soooooooo?

we gotta drop over $180 for TWO figures from a company none of us have ever gotten a product for?

FAIL

Indeed. I love their note about how they'll only make them separate if they get a case of RED but not a case of green.

Yeah not really digging that I have to order both, when I only want the green. What the Hell, I'll preorder it for now. If someone else offers them individually I'll cancel. If I end up with both I can alwasy sell the red and blue version.

News Credits: 1 · by **rpetras** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 12:09 pm

I think I'll wait for these to hit a sale.

I don't happen to have $180 right at the moment with FREAKING CHRISTMAS around the corner.

I may have squeezed out about a $100 for one of these, and if it was cool, I may have sprung for the second later, but this is too much cash with too little notice.

Just yesterday, we revealed details of Xovergen's Supreme Tactical Commander Grand Patriot release, and now site sponsor BigBadToyStore.com has opened a preorder for the figure.

Just one catch, though: the figure is only available as a two pack featuring both the "classic" red/blue deco and the green deco, with the pair retailing $179.99. The figure is slated to be released later this month.

Yea, forget it.

I'm gonna see if my former room mate wants to split a set, otherwise, never mind.

by **Lackadaisical** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 1:13 pm

Too expensive! I'm still thinking about the Anhiilator, and this costs about the same if it was only one, and really isn't that great to get 2 of them, that tie 1 by a set of 2, will make them lost a lot of clients... anyways, I wasn't one of them
