Does BB Prime fit into the Ulitmate Prime's armor? Even a little bit? If so, than it's buy, but if he just pops out and wont stay in, than what, use the crappy voyager that awesome trailer comes with? Any other bots fit in there? I await your answers/explinations to this problem.

I'll check when I get home unless someone else can help you out tonight/early tomorrow.

I kind of like them being seperate though. BB prime is the bad azz, while Ultimate Prime is ummm....ahhhh..... well, he's big and boxy. but cool.

sooo....does it work?

I tried and tried and nope. Battleblades Optimus Prime is just too small, but things that went wrong are......

1.Battleblades back isn't as movable as Ultimate prime's (moves to fit in) BB priime's back is
wider since it doesn't fold up and seems to get in the way.

2.BB Primes feet. Ultimate primes feet fold down and attach, BB Prime's don't fold like that as much as the others so it won't really fit into the legs. If he were slightly larger he would.

3.Ultimate Prime is about 1.5-2 inches bigger without the trailer.

4. There is a harness in the middle that is grey and Ultimate Prime stradles this to fit in, BB prime can do this, but seems to be just a bit to wide in the wrong places due to where his tires are. Ultimate primes hip wheels seem to be a bit more spaced out.

I can post comparison pictures if you like and what almost was w/ BB prime in there, but it just didn't seem to work. Bottom line, BB prime is just a bit too short I think, and transformation doesn't really support it fully. I'm sure someone "could" do it.....with kitbashing the crap out of it....but I'm not 1. that talented, and 2. not really going to hunt down a second BB prime.

I say if you like Ultimate Optimus....go for it.
