What was wrong with Prime? I thought he was a good update, except for the cheat-transformation for the grille.

I did not like the top of the cab area mostly. OP is not awful like Megs, but he is not as good as other Classics, such as the seekers.
Overall, I felt the weakest Classics were in order: Devastator, Megatron, Astrotrain, Optimus Prime.

Really? I quite enjoyed Prime. For me the worst Classics were Astrotrain, Grimlock and Devastator.

The rook of the cab and the "shields" on his arms are a little too off putting for me to consider him to be in the same league as the seekers. However, you are right about ole Grimlock.
My updated worst of list:
Devastator, Megatron, Grimlock, Astrotrain, Optimus Prime

I've heard a few grumbles about the kibble on Prime's arms. The aspect doesn't bother me personally but I can see how a different way of folding / concealing the 'shields' would make the robot mode more appealing. Ah well, it's interesting to discuss, anyway.

That's an interesting point. Are the Classics supposed to be simply updates of G1 toys or updates that include anime accuracy? Some seem to look anime-accurate (Bumblebee, Astrotrain's robot mode except for the colours) and some don't.
I've never really liked the G1 toys of Prime or Megatron, which I suppose is why I don't own them despite having a lot of G1 toys, though I do have the Powermaster Prime, which I love! Everyone's tastes are different, though.
What do you think of deluxe Classics Prime? I don't own him and he doesn't really appeal to me but I'm interested to see what you think of his G1 toy / anime accuracy (or lack thereof, depending on your view).

Adds anime accuracy.
& probably more importantly, when we all first started seeing prototype pics of the guy, it was the Masterpiece Convoy version, all pretty & shiny, & not too long after that, we find out we get a castrated version.zemper wrote:Bonger wrote:Leonardo wrote:I don't understand what the smokestacks add to Prime.

It's mainly a censorship issue.
Hey, anybody that has ever seen Robin Hood:Men in Tights on the Disney channel knows exactly how censorship & castration go hand-in-hand.zemper wrote:Nemesis Cyberplex wrote:long after that, we find out we get a castrated version.
