whoever designed these movie bots should be fired along with the "experts" that ok'd all these pieces of crap. if you like a tf to be a clunky mess then i'm sure you love this "prime".

I dunno... He's not aweful, but something dosnt site right with me either.

And they could have atleast chromed his front grill.

The alt mode is the best thing about the toy. Ill buy it just for that. Luckly the robot mode looks good to.

Meh... I expected better for $40. It'll need a custom paint job.

I'm digging the truck mode. It's nice, but it doesn't feel "Optimus Prime" at ALL to me. The robot form is terrible and the light gimmick does nothing for me. I don't think I'll be buying it just for the truck mode. I'll have to pass.

don't know honestly I'll have to wait and see it in the galleries posed to see if it will pass into my collection. I like it but something seems off about it yet.

I'd like the figure more in these pics if it didn't look like a monkey took the pictures.

Average at best for the moment.

Boy, I know we are spoiled with the galleries here, but sheesh!

Once this becomes available, I'd like to see someone take a photo of it with MP Prime holding it in a choke hold while pointing his gun at his head.

These dont look as good as the other pics, but it still looks worth buying.

I like it. The voyager one we saw along time ago looked better. but this one is not bad. I'm totally digging the Truck mode.

As someone already said totally reminds me of Rhino from M.A.S.K.

I'm not sure i get the purpose of lights inside the cab, but it looks good.

I'm still gonna wait to see it in person before i make my decision. but its not bad.

Looks bulkier than the first pics we saw. I guess that's what the color does.
I've been wondering something...
How come they can get away with the long stacks now?
Also,
Isn't this one supposed to be the Ultimate class, which will be around 80 bucks?

An intriguing fusion of trukk and munky, but approximately 30% more chrome would have drastically increased the aesthetic value of this figure.

Nope this is Leader Class Prime.

There have been no pics or comments about an Ultimate Class Prime. Only Bumblebee.

As for the smokestacks, i don't know they look kind of rubbery to me. Like Cyb Vector Prime's sword only in gray. Or they are going to put a disclaimer in the box saying:
"Caution Smokestacks may poke your stupid kid's eye out. No legal liability can befall Hasbro for this event."

Makes me wonder why they left the tall stacks off of Ironhide. Love the photoshop on the Ratchet mould BTW.

I have to give credit where credit is due hasbro has made me a beleaver in the movie toy line with this figure.

Like Exulted Unicron on Facebook · by **Exulted Unicron** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 5:34 am

not a bad looking prime, but its a BayFormer....I just can't bring myself to like the BayFormers

News Credits: 173 · by **Casual Matt** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 8:59 am

Looks okay to me. Not the best of the lot but not the worst either. Personally, I think Ironhide and Ratchet are the best movie figures I've seen so far.

I don't know, as for your sig.. i just think movie ratchet should be colored in black and called trailbreaker, and movie ironhide should be colored red then it would make sense, as far as ratchet, he should be an amublance of some sort.. or military repair vehicle..

I don't know why they don't just put that on the box, so Prime doesn't have to have his man-hood chopped off...

Gee thanx. It was a real rush job actually. But i just had to recolor them to see what they would look like. Ratchet looks pretty good if I do say so myself.

I think Movie Ironhide should be Trailbreaker (Black pick-up truck), and the Ratchet mould in my sig, which is actually rescue vehicle in the movie, can take on a red color scheme and be Ironhide. He is a hummer and fits Ironhide pretty good.

Nice vech mode, kind of meh robot mode.

News Credits: 21 · by **dragons** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 4:42 pm

i suspected the movie figures to look simaler to the movie versions in the film wheres the hood of the truck sticking out of his chest like they show in empire magazine? either way ill buy it but i rate it 90% accurate to the movie version.
