I think he is epic on his own, but not as epic as Galaxy Convoy.

Maybe others think differently.

What do you think?

I agree. I think he comes a close second to Cybertron Prime though. Kicks ass over energon and armada prime, and even better than rid prime too imo.

I'd say he's the most epic.

Screw the rest.

Don't agree about RID Prime, that is the best Prime runnin' after Masterpiece IMHO.

:-?

I also like Cybertron Prime/Galaxy Convoy better. Movie Prime is very accurate in alt mode, very poseable, but to me it will always be, 'Michael Bay Prime'. I have nothing against Michael Bay, I enjoyed the movie, but I still feel there are better designed Prime's as mentioned above.

Lol Michael Bay Prime, along with all the other Bayformers. Looks like Bay will never be respected as a Transformers designer.

Epic? Why?

There is just two epic Primes: G1, beacuse it started it all, and, Masterpiece of course, beacuse its the perfect representation of what Optimus Prime is in toy form.

The rest is just a big pile of plastic poorly used.

You could have just said that you thought that the others were not epic. Poor Primes... :-(

It depends. Ignoring MP Prime for the time being, there is no doubt RID Prime is a fantastic design, but for sheer simplicity and a fantastic look (in all modes apart from savage beast mode) Cyb Prime is fantastic. He is easily the best TOY (ie the hardest to distroy, and I suspect the easiest/funnest to play with). No movie Prime is very good too. He is easily the most posable, and easiest to pose Prime there has everbeen in a mainline. He is however rather complex, and I suspect wont take playware as well as A, E n C primes.
My other major quibble about movie leader prime is his paintjob, it dosnt look that brilliant, too much plastic grey, and a few bits that ARE painted, but are easily chiped and should really have had the plastic as the corre3ct colour to start with.

In short, I dont have a bloodly clue which out of RID, Cyb and Movie I prefere, they all have good selling points. What can be stated as a fact is they all kick energon prime's ass.

20th Prime / MP Convoy is and always will be the most EPIC of them all.

Barring that, 2007 Leader Prime is pretty decent, but I rather like Cyb Prime better.

Bay did not design the Transformers for the movie, ILM did.

If anything they should be called ILMformers but I guess that's to many syllables for the movie haters.

Most epic Prime?

Omega Prime

Sorry what does ILM stand for? I don't know.

Indistrial Light and Magic I think.
It's George Lucus's special effects comany, origanaly formed tfor the Star Wars movies, nowadays they specilise on computer graphics for movies and such.

Industrial Light and Magic...

I told you I don't hate the movie, I just do not like the designs that Bay approved, certainly as a toy I would not call it EPIC, but it certainly has value.

EDIT: dangit, Redimus beat me to it.

by **Raymond101** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 1:41 am

Oh ok my bad. I actually don't think many Japanese will like these designs; their vision of mecha-robotic warriors is entirely different in aesthetics compared to these new incarnations.

haha, too true. Poor Bay being blamed for everything. Sure, hes the head honcho for it, but don't blame him for how the TFs came out. Just how I feel.

And to be on topic. I think the MP Prime is more epic. : ) Then Anniv. Prime and Leader Prime. Though, I'd think the Leader Prime would be epic just by the sheer bulkiness. hehe

What do you mean by 'epic' exactly?

It's a term the kids use these days to imply something along the lines of "fantastic" or "marvelous". Eh, I really like him but don't feel he's "epic" My favorite Primes are G1, Masterpiece, Powermaster Prime and these other two aren't even Primes but Primals. Primal Prime and BWR Optimus Primal. I dunno, I likes what I likes.

Oh and don't mind Deszaras. He's our resident negative Nancy, but he's adorable despite that.

While he is epic and I'm glad I've got one... he's also rather kibbley, poorly painted, in need of chrome and way over rated.

That's right, I went there!

I really like Movie Leader Prime... that's why I just bought a second one friday night. Most likely I'll display him in alt mode, but he might travel to work with me for a while too. He's not my favourite.. I think masterpeice is. and I think LioConvoy is really cool too(hence, I have the original, flash, black, Robot Masters and Robot Masters DVD LioConvoy, just need that pesky black RM version). I don't think he gets the love he deserves :grin:

by **Raymond101** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 5:50 am

Pretty much, I mean epic by how grand the feeling you get while you are with him is.

I think he has too much kibble and he should have more weapons. One ion blaster and a railgun is insufficient. Galaxy Convoy would smash him.

Nevertheless, I really like my Leader Prime. However, it might be partly psychological because I know I paid a lot for him and if I acknowledge he's a piece of poo it would kill my sanity

by **Saya** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 6:27 am

Don't worry, you don't have to acklowledge he's a piece of poo because he is fantastic. Definitely ehh... epic? But probably not the most epic. I don't really care which one is.

by **Raymond101** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 6:34 am

I think Galaxy Convoy/MP Prime takes the cake for being the most epic Prime.

Mind you Cybertron had so many good ones that it's hard to say which was the best flagship toy it had. Whereas I'm quite happy to say that Leader Prime and 2008 Bumblebee are the best flagship toys of this movie line.
