And holy crap, those lips looks so horrible. That combined with the flames... I guess the movie Prime is truly dead to me now.

Thank you! Someone who agrees.

i think both of those shots are great. i don't really like prime without his plate.. but that doesn't look bad at all

I can live with it.

People watchout Ironhides gonna fall on you

Skowl wrote:If the bigwigs thought the lips were so damn cool, then why doesn't a single piece of merchandise, promotional material or toy we've seen have Prime with his mouth?

Because people will bitch and moan and cry havok "it's not prime without a faceplate"

Kinda looks like he has a handlebar moustache.

Prime DOES seem like a handlebar moustache kind of guy.

looks disapointing but the whole body looks sweet and I like ironhide with his big guns

Ironhide looks like one bad bot. Love prime with plate, not so fond of him without

If this Prime pic is from the end of the movie, he's just following the current superhero trend... or is just Spiderman's?

No hero can keep their mask on during the big fight at the end of the movie. Look at Spiderman 1, 2 and the previews for 3. Prime just wants in.

What i dont understand is that with the massive fan reaction to the design's from the beginning how they at the very least didnt just let us have this one tiny weeeny little thing... GIVE PRIME HIS GODDAMN FACEPLATE!!!... ahem... sorry about that... I can put up with everything else in this movie but that is the one thing that is seriously p**sing me off.

BTW Ironhide looks wicked in that shot.

Not bad.
The Hide looks ready to rock!

thats not prime to me
and i dont see any other 80s children identifying that thing with prime either

I'm a child of the 80's and I can deal with it just fine. The only thing I am having a hard time dealing with in this movie is Ratchet being green. Now THAT sucks.

He reminds me of like some ancient Egyptian or something, it's really bizarre.

Speaking of Ancient Egyptians, he looks a little like Apocalypse from the X-Men Comic Books.

Huh. I actually think he looks more like a Sentinel. I wouldn't be surprised at all if eye lasers shot out and incinerated poor Shia.

If they go with the lips, I'll deal. But I don't like them personally, and I think it kills the aesthetic.

my god that looks terrible but what else is new? all in all prime is definately the most tolerable bayformer even with his stupid-looking face, retarded flames, and etc. i'd give him a 5 or 6 out of 10 and its pretty sad when average is by far the best. it just says how utterly pathetic the other "creations" are.

Honestly, you people bitch way to much.

The face plate isn't as iconic as everyone is making it out to be.

Everyone I know knows Prime as red and blue semi

Everything that gets released for this movie you people just tear it apart.

The designs are something new, just like every other incarnation of the Transformers.

These aren't supposed to be G1 designs, DEAL WITH IT.

Now, I think Prime looks better this way anyways.

I disagree. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, I've talked to about this film was shocked when I told them that Optimus Prime had lips instead of his 'mask' in the movie. Everybody did a double-take and said something to the effect of 'you can't do that, Prime needs his mask thing or else he just won't look like himself'

Apollyon wrote: Everyone I know knows Prime as red and blue semi

True, and most non-fan people I talked to were fine with him being a peterbilt, but hated the idea of flames on Prime, they said it was just over the top and not like the noble personnality Prime is supposed to have.

I've liked alot of the choices they made for the film, but I think when 99% of the fandom bitch about something, it's a problem with the filmmakers' choices, and not the problem of the fandom.

Apollyon wrote:These aren't supposed to be G1 designs, DEAL WITH IT.

I think anyone who still thinks this movie is a G1 remake is just being naïve by now. This movie might not be G1, but it is still TRANSFORMERS, and some things you just don't change, because I don't know about everyone else, but when you stick flames and lips on Optimus Prime, well, he just ain't Optimus Prime to me anymore.

One thing i have noticed looking at Ironhide from that shot is that because the faces have such fussy looking features i can see it being difficult to see what way the big robots are looking when they arent really up close the camera... maybe the blow glowing eyes will be easy to see or something.

I think the G1 Prime is the only incarnation of Prime that does not have lips. Think about it. Really, what is the big deal?

Aw, Kimmer, I missed you.

Seriously, I needed someone to fill Bluebullet's role. You're a little blunt, and you tend to avoid a lot of the logical fallacies Bomber-Boy had (In turn creating some of your own), but, c'mon, you fill the Void he left that I so depserately desire.

This forum isn't nearly as good without a raving geewhunner running around. But you're probably older than him, so it's not quite as good.

I don't see what the big fuss is about Prime having lips. He had lips in beast wars. He had lips and a faceplate most recently in Cybertron. The bottom line is: while that face plate is cool, it doesn't attract the ladies - instead he shows the lips when they are around. Yeah.

Moreover, he could have had lips in G1 and they just never showed them. His faceplate moved up and down alot as if he had a mouth under it.

Before anyone can blast you for your beast wars connection, Primal wasnt Prime. He was an homage to him, but I know what you are going for
