my local hobby store has one and I was wanting oppinons, secondly I was thinking Ultimate BB or Primus with Unicron head IYO?? Thanx in advance ;)^

If you're even considering it ... which you are, it's worth it. They are for the hardcore fan methinks. Expensive, but very cool!

I'd look around to see if you could get it cheaper though.

If you don't have a Primus yet, go get him right now. He's Cybertron and the TF god combined, plus a very big, poseable and imposing figure. His alt mode and transformation are flawless. Though if you've got one already, the Unicron head isn't worth it IMO.

Ultimate Bumblebee is nice, but Deluxe concept BB is better.

Whoa, thats a major purchase. Its a great object, but it is pricey. Go for it..

Get Primus. I have been eyeing one myself, just rounding up my funding.

if you have the cash, get the matrix, it looks freakin sweet.

I would suggest against BB and pick up Primus, one of the few TF's that I need to get as well, and the Unicron head is a nice addition. Plus it's cheaper than Ult. BB!

I'm indifferent towards that matrix, statues and props aren't my thing.

I hear ultimate BB is not worth it. I'm waiting to see if they go on sale, near or after christmas.

I like my primus, but I got one at walmart for like $20. It didn't have the Unicron head :-(

but that by itself was not worth an additional $30.

UPDATE: I still havent decided on the matrix $189.99 price point is my problem , and I decided to buy the Primus which I got with no Unicron head which would have costed me an additional $25 *shrug*

by **Bumblebee-otch** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 7:55 pm

get the matrix, wear the optimus voice changer, and make a youtube video.

DONT get UBB anytime soon.

That is a tough question because honestly with that money you can more or less get masterpiece megatron and 20th dvd prime if you hunt around long enough. only advice I can give is that if you want a non transforming display piece than get it.

Price for the Matrix Statue is a tad too much isn't it.

Good choice on the Primus, as nice as the head is and all, it certainly is not worth US$25.

Ultimate Bumblebee is worht a buy, when he comes down in price a bit (to at least US$60)

I have the Matrix (along with UBB and Primus). The Matrix is awesome and when you turn the lights on they change color through the matrix.

Why on earth would the Unicron head kick the price of Primus up? Is it really the head that's doing it? Or is it just that he used to be twenty odd due to special offer and that the 50 bucks is his RRP?

The Matrix looks awesom and all, but is a bit too much for me, especilly since it dosnt transform.

As for the other question.

Primus

For the love of all that is good, Primus.

cool. that matrix looks awesome. can you take it off the base and pull it open?

Got Primus myself yesterday. Was on sale for €40 (I know, I know we get stuffed when it comes to prices in Europe)
I'm completely in love with the figure. Instead of the Unicron head, mine came with 4 minicons ("included free"); a yellow bike, a triceratops, a black police car and a blue jet.

That's the version I got as well
For the uninitiated, the included Mini-Cons are from the Classics Mini-Con 3-packs. They're Strongarm, Thunderwing (he's named Nightscream on the instructions), Knockdown and Dirt Rocket (named Offshoot on the instructions)
