with the blackest of days falling upon us tomorrow, one deal has caught my eye. i put off getting cybertron leader prime till the line ended, and now he's giong for 20$!. now i'm not the biggest fan of the cybertron line (there are some great molds and characters however), it's ahrd to pass up a prime of that size, for that price.
gimme some pro's and con's. is it worth getting up at the butt crack of dawn and wade through countless swarms of geriatric shoppers to get this guy?

I would, I don't have him either.
He looks nice with the wings and everything.
His truck mode doesn't look all that great
but I've never seen it like that
up close.
Alas, my car payment has taken all my
money and I won't be buying anything

Hell yes!

He's up there with RID Prime and PM Prime in the list of alltime awesome mainline Primes.

Nevermind $20, he's worth the full £40 I would have had to pay for him had I not managed to get the Japanese one in a rediculosly cheap deal.

be prepared if your a MISB collector, that the boxes probably won't be decent looking and will be caved in. I know it depends by people and store, but tomorrow will be a madhouse as it is.

Skip the crowds and buy him at Dollar General on Monday for $20.

Cybertron Prime is probably the best Prime of all time. He's worth his original price!

For that price, he's worth buying three times and repainting into Ultra Magnus and Nemisis Prime.

Jeez man, you can hardly get a Deluxe for 20 bucks around here. Go get that huge & awesome Prime already!

I have to say that powermster optimus prime is the greateset prime of all time.

rockin' aweseeeeeeme.

i paid roughly $60.00 USD-converted for this figure and he still rox my sox off. the best of the Unicron Primes in playability, stability, homage, and durability.

the Super mode really looks super right off the box, with the cannons and all. this Prime is the biggest of the 3 Unicron Primes (unless you combine Energon OP with Omega Supreme) and despite the bulk, feels pretty solid and very stable.

plus i like the fact that the electronics are on the jetpack/cannon array, as this meant no electronics to damage the Prime toy itself. no flaws whatsoever.

you're really lucky you can get this toy for $20. get it, you won't regret it.
