Never had the pleasure of sticker sheets with prime figures, didn't even know it was a thing.

I think I see a model kit underneath the Vehicon instructions. Hopefully it's Zamu?

I sold breakdown almost as soon as I got it. If I only knew how rare it would become. The vehicons are one of the best molds of the last 20 years. I can't remember if I still have my jet vehicon and commander.

Those little model kits are so fun to assemble! Can't wait to snag this set.

If this is a sub-line and not just a one-off, I wonder if there will just be re-releases or if we'll get any new molds? 'Cos I can think of a few bots that need updates...

Ah, sorry, that came out wrong and unclear. I don't care, as in i do not care as much about reissue of vehicon since i already own the mold. That being said, extra vehicon still gets a welcome on my shelf.

I was starting to seriously put in an order from Mandrake for a Breakdown, used some google translate and rudimentary Japanese for that one, since they were at least somewhat reasonable.
I just hope this set isn't pre-ordered/sold out too soon, and I don't have the same issues getting it as a few of this year's pre-orders so far.

...

Also, my wallet hurts, but in the best way! :lol:

i think they need to do animated blackout next

Oh. Hell. Yes.

Sign me up. Knockout has been missing his partner. Worth it for Breakdown alone. Never had the jet vehicon but these should be awesome if its the same as the car.

You, me, and a whole army think the same.

Well, I got these guys when they first came out, so I'm gonna have to be THAT guy and ask for the Silus Breakdown and Jet Vehicon Commander set next.

I'm really excited for this as I never had any of the Prime toys, but love TFP! I just hope that there not some dumb USA exclusive like almost every new thing is now.

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 12:12 pm

Looks like it will be erm..revealed...at pulse con according to the press release.

Probably available to purchase for Americanadians too over that weekend.

I can see why this isn’t as exciting for everybody, but speaking for myself, I am immensely pumped. I’ve wanted both of these figures for so long, but I’ve never pulled the trigger on them because of the prices. Came close earlier this year though. Super glad I held back.

And since I’ve been going back and buying some Prime Arms Microns here and there (Rumble, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Swerve, + loose microns) to fill out my ranks, I kinda feel like Hasbro is giving me what I wanted without me having to ask. Plus, as it turns out, I really, really love putting together those little microns. They’re so much fun!

If Hasbro feels like doing this for some other figures we didn’t get outside of Japan, I’d be all for it. Even if it’s limited to one, maybe two sets a year. But I also realize this is under the banner of being a 10 year anniversary set, so...

How do we get it!!?

By sacrificing some chickens or huge postal fees, likely both.

People trying to sell their old breakdowns listed on ebay £120-£150

just hope no bidders fall for it.

That being said I just checked Ebay and someone posted a MISB Breakdown starting bid at $200. I'm interested to see what happens in the wake of this Prime set being announced. :VEHI:

Pretty sure they mean existing molds that were only ever released by Takara.

Animated OS is one of those character that will bever be made.... unless there's a Animated revival in the Generations line with brand new molds like it's happening with Beast Wars.

My first thought is that I'd kill for that, but then my second was, could they do any better :-?
