Something wrong with the link? Oh well, we've seen the battle Damaged Prime before.

The link is fixed. For some reason when I went to copy the URL it didn't copy so it pasted the wrong thing. It's a wireless mouse with a dying battery so what can you do.

Not a very exciting repaint, but I prefer it to the non-battle damaged version because of the face plate. Prime, BB and Prowl all have face plates in the cartoon, but they seem to be absent in the toys. It's understandable I guess, seeing as they kind of come out of nowhere in the cartoon, but I still think it's a shame.

Don't forget to put 'animated' in the thread title.

I really like this figure, maybe more than the voyager, though I wish they wouldn't waste our time with battle damage repaints.

If I actually wanted a battle damage version of a toy, it's not exactly hard to take a fresh one and do a better job of damaging it myself.

BTW, I'm pretty sure we've seen these pics before.

Not impressed with the "battle damage", but I still may have to get the 2 pack.

I think overall the figure looks great.

I get the impression "battle-damaged" started after Hasbro made tons of $$$ off of the damaged Star Wars clone troopers, but it just doesn't look all that great on Transformers.

Sure, they get dirty, too, but I imagine it's alot tougher to put a scratch on Prime than it is a 501st. Trooper.
