In my world He will be Joker Prime... Seriously though, I am pretty sure the wings do not detach based on the vehicle mode... Also, when I first saw him I thought about Animated Wreck-Gar for some reason and how this would have made a great Motormaster during Botcon 2011...

Wow! That robot mode is awesome. The best figure coming out this year (price plus size). I really like it. Back to big robot form, not anime scrawny legs, arms transformers. Guess I'm looking forward to a new year after all

Well he definitely was mistransformed in the original Hasbro pics we saw of him. I preordered him earlier and am still happy that I did so. This looks great and I'm glad he comes with the star saber (though I wish it were blue instead of green). My only reservation is that I hope these "upgrades" whathaveyou actually take place on the show. I'm a little hesitant to get the BH remolds of the other figures for that reason. However, I'll risk it with this OP because he looks pretty sweet to me either way!

I wish the windows & sword were blue, but otherwise...looks like one for my random Optimus Prime shelf.

Love the wings and launchers/jet boosters.

I think the robot mode is kinda cool. Almost an Apex Armor vibe. Not diggn' the truck mode though. Too much Animated meets Cybertron imo.

So with his wings folded back like that in vehicle mode...

Prime is now a dump truck?

Tractor Trailer- Awesome, Ferrari- don't get me started, Monkey- Oy, Fire Truck- Noble, But a dump truck...

robot mode isnt to bad but the alt mode looks like a garbage truck, another pass

I really don't care much about the truck mode. I always display mine in robot mode. The wings makes a cool addition tot he toy. My only vehicle display mode are alternators and binaltechs. Can't beat those modes.

Robot mode reminds me a lot of DOTM Skyhammer but a simpler version.

Looks like a Deluxe in a voyager box with cleverly placed window coverings to fool size.

Hell must have frozen over because I actually LIKE this figure. I'm normally not a fan of Prime without the faceplate but I think the psychotic smirk is what's selling me on not modding this figure after I get it. This makes 2 Beast Hunters figures in one day that I would seriously consider getting. I'll still have to see LeoPrime in hand before I declare a "Hat Trick" on the BH series toys but so far I'm starting to warm up to it ever so slightly.

Bot mode = baaadd ass !!!

Alt mode = Vampire Prime ??? :MAXIMAL:

by **Henry921** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:46 pm

I really like his vehicle mode, with the Mad Max thing he's got going on. Robot mode looks better than I thought too.

I was sold a while back, but I feel better about that choice now.

Just wish the sword wasn't so very green :-(

i thought i was gonna hate this one, but i love it

And he's sold out on eBay. I'm getting a real Cybertron vibe from this guy and I like it. Is it just me or does his head look a bit small?

News Credits: 10 · by **Arctorro** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 5:33 pm

This was an easy pass, now I'm on the fence. If it wasn't for the green I might've picked him up no matter what. As it is, he will have to be like this in the show before I even consider getting him.

News Credits: 1 · by **MightyMagnus78** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 6:16 pm

I'm still on the fence, he's nowhere near as esthetically pleasing as the FE.

Well.... it certainly gives off a better first-impression than the initial photos gave us. >:oP

Gimme more images, and we'll talk more.

And I submitted something about an eBay auction just yesterday too...

Anyone ever wonder if the reaosn they went with translucent green is to make it possibly represent Synthetic Energon coursing through Prime's body?

Y'know what? You're absolutely right. Didn't even remember Synth-En until you brought it up. #-o
