Ignore this.

Dammit! I could swear I logged out and logged back in! Sorry.

Anyway, while I may be one out of 2 people who actually liked the original head, I'll still be getting this. I feel obligated to since I never owned an original G2 prime. G2 was what me and my brothers grew up with after all.

I doubt this is FPs doing (though I would prefer it be them) since they're already going to be incredibly busy. And if they have anything new on the horizon they usually just come out with it. It does take after their silhouette preview style though, so maybe they're trying to be like Fans Project.

This is the year of fan toys everyone. Are we blessed? Or cursed?

Very interesting indeed. Looks promising from the silhouettes. Not enough for me to get G2 Prime but that's only because I don't really want a G2 Prime in my collection. The new feet make a huge improvement in my opinion. Here's (still) hoping for an evil repaint that this will work with.

My wife is going to kill me. And if a RID Scourge comes out too...... :BOOM:

Thanks Down_Shift. I'm looking into getting GEN G2 OP but probably won't get this upgrade set

His chest could open? When did I miss this?

I'll probably get this if the price is right, almost looks like Optimus stepped out of the Brave series! but if the price is a little steep i'll probably only get it for the inevetable RiD scrouge repaint.

I can understand having no gun and no trailer being a bad thing, but how come the flames are considered a con as well? I mean, the original laser Prime had them, RTS G2 Prime is only trying to be accurate, and if he didnt have the flames you would still find people complaining about that since, like I said, the original had them. >.>

I simply listed all the things people have been bitching about, and strangely most people complaint about the flames.
The only thing I don't like about him is the ugly alt-mode and the missing gun.

The original G2 Prime was and still is one of my favorite Transformers toys of all time! When I heard that we were getting an updated version in the Reveal the Sheild line, I may have squealed just a little bit...

I admit that the new sword, while definitely well designed, was a bit puny, but otherwise it looked good to me. That said, I will DEFINITELY look into this one if it isn't too expensive.

Any new info regarding this upgrade...?

For those that went to Botcon, TFSource had the greys for this on display at their booth. Here are the quick pics I took to show my friends...

Armored up...

Armor and trailer on display... along with the Powerglide and Seaspray...

do quite like the look of this. sadly, no G2 Prime here, and the price will have shot up since these pics were shown.

I'm buying this.

Now we need to beg hasbro to give us Nemesis Prime so we can get a black version of this cause I want a RID Scourge darn't.

(Even though the original RID Scourge is awesome as is. Love that figure)

Kapow toys here in the UK is selling RTS Prime for £8.99. Also i picked one up from Smyths toystore on saturday for £9.99. I must admit the picture on the back of the box sold it too me, only to find out it looks pants due to lack of paint in robot mode....so annoys me when they do that
