Man SS Prime looks cool but I just can't put my finger on why I don't love it. The colors? Looks really blocky I don't know because nothing off the top is bad, just don't love it like some of the other primes realeased.

The legs being full on cartoon accurate by removing all semblance of wheels definitely makes the toy look blocker than previous releases

Prime Vs Prime strikes again. Driving prices up for us all.

Got 2. Happy camper.

Yes and SS Optimus too.

This Commander Optimus is a budget MP-44.

It is pure perfection with a nice transformation and a perfect look all over. Plus, for once, HE'S IN THE RIGHT GENERATIONS SIZE.

Can't wait to have mine!

Agreed, now I don't have to part ways with any of my SEK Primes like I thought. But again we'll see what we get down the horizon on repaints for this mold.

Got the 86 Corpses, for $25 no less.

I had way too much fun making this picture:

D-Max, your photo makes me wonder if they will re-release dead prime as part of the 40th anniversary. I think he might be the only version of the ER mold that wasn't re-released yet.

I passed on him originally because I really didn't care about trying to remake the dying scene, but now that we have a sort of sub line of the dead and dying, I would probably buy him if he got a re-release.

If you ever get Dead Prime, you can give his trailer to SG Optimus if you have it. That's what I did and I applied the Reprolabels to complete the look. It works perfectly. Toyhax used the Netflix Nemesis trailer, but I think the Dead trailer works better.

I'm putting this here since it's connected and I don't know where else it would go, it might be nothing but, TF:TM is no longer available on any streaming service that I can see. It used to be available for purchase off Vudu/Fandango home but not anymore. Usually when something like this happens it means a newer release is coming, perhaps we're getting a 40th anniversary release?

86 Bumblebee is only $21.49 on Amazon right now!

Welcome to the world of Streaming. They will take down anything at any time. Unless you have hard media, the odds are that ANYTHING you may like will disappear and you are not going to have choices. Already had issues with iTUnes/Apple regarding almost a dozen albums I purchased for download but they pulled.

I agree 100% ALWAYS purchase physical media when you can. However there are multiple layers to this. Thankfully, this seems to be the less invasive one for now. There are the times when an items become unavailable for purchase (but those who already purchased it still retain it, as seems to be the case with TF:TM see my VUDU screenshot, its still there for now). Then there are times when an item becomes unavailable, and even those who purchased it have it removed from their library.

Heh, heh, you said hard...

Great news to all those wanting to complete their Dinobots collection, leader class Swoop has been found in the US. He is packed with leader class Springer and was found at Target, with this specific finding from North Carolina by Taureanstar.

He has also been released in Canada in a blink and you'll miss it release at Toysrus followed by a more standard release at Gamestop.

We also have a review for you below, to see all that this release entails (both the good and the bad). Enjoy!

The minions obtained mine - it's been nice to see all five of them on the shelf as I prepare the review!

Now that my Walmart has done their reset and removed all leader class toys, I guess target is the only place to find them now.

Well, I think I am about to eat my hat.

Caught up on the Skybound comics, and I think I am now going to need SS86 Magnus. And of course he is nowhere to be seen anymore. And of course of course, I would prefer a yellow eyed version, but no luck on a leak there yet.

And I am starting to question if I am going to need to get the SS86 Constructicons.

I had to order Legacy Elita-1 so I would have a properly scaled Elita.

Almost ordered SS86 Arcee, but I am still happy with my T30 one, and neither Earthrise nor SS86 really look better/more comic accurate than her.

I am now torn on SS86 Prime too, cause he is more accurate to the comic, but I also think that, given how iconic the "Let's go on the offensive" Prime with Megatron arm now is, they would hopefully make either a version like this, or give SS86 Megatron the ability to donate an arm and Optimus to use it. Also, I will get the dramatic capture Prime that I could use, but again, accuracy/arm reuse.
