If you want him, you have a US based pal that will gladly assist you!



And what would the price be for him?


Ghostbusters prime is rumourd to be 150 USD. Since it would be on hasbro pulse that would mean you add tax and (maybe) shipping.

$150 is what I've heard too.

And with Pulse, unless they changed up the way they do the shipping, he will cost money to ship, my guess around $15 with the taxes for states, so maybe $175 after shipping to US?

Does not ship to UK. But it wouldnt matter, their international shipping prices are ludicrous. It comes out to the same as using a shipping forwarding service, which you could always have used anyway.

:( hopefully when they get around to implementing international shipping it will be lower but I don't think there is any chance. Kapow and I. d toys probably best option but be prepared for £180 to £200 if not more.

It wont. They did it for Canada so we already know. If buying it locally is cheaper than the forwarding service option then go for it locally. It's just the name of the game for exclusives. There are pros and cons for everything in life. Living in the US gives you the best access to con exclusives but it also gives you Trump, 0 days paid maternity leave and expensive healthcare.

I think they should have gone with white wall tires and they should have given his eyes color like maybe the green in his windshields to match. Still a very impressive Prime.


So what's the current repaint count for this here mold? :-? :VEHI:

Damn and blast. Thanks for the info.

Kapow always get my business these days, scant as it tends to be. They are exceptional. And very prompt with queries and other emails. Love em.

If anyone was hoping for a more in-depth look at the SDCC Prime and its new pieces, Peaugh has a video review up on YouTube.



I'm kinda disappointed that the ghost trap doors on Roller apparently don't open, but otherwise it looks decent.

Still waiting on my charge, but I am really excited for him. all the in-hand impressions so far and the comic have both gotten my interest level very high

Don't get your hopes up. The robot mode is a complete afterthought. Man, they dropped the ball.

So, I spend a lot of time being a negative nelly, its only fair I sling some praise when appropriate as well.

My taste in toys continues to make no sense. Ectotron is very basic and simple. I transformation more like a legends class than a voyager. A little skimpy on the paint apps. Kinds loose in the leg joints and the hood doesn't want to hold together in car mode.


And I couldn't love it more.

Seriously, I don't know what it is, but this figure is pure joy to have in hand. Maybe it is the unique nature, but this guy sure does something right. The roof rack turning into a proton pack is a super clever addition that is pure icing on the cake. The guy feels like a member of the 'busters.


If you can, pick this up. Its worth the price.

Just got this guy tonight as well, and the only way i could really be happier is if he had his wrists hinge 90 degrees from the way they are so he can hold his particle thrower in a more natural position.

But he is incredible, you guys should get one. Ish guy is completely right about how cool he is

I know he is his own character, but I feel in my soul, that this is really Dr. Stantz in Autobot form. :-D

I'm still feeling him as his own dude, and the GB comic is really helping with that! He really feels like he will fit in with them.

Also, he is kinda sortof like the rookie from the video game (which i love)

Even before the comic, I really liked that they made him an actual Cybertronian instead of the whole "piloted robot version of whoever" thing that they did for previous crossover toys.

That said, I haven't had a chance to get my hands on the second issue of the comic yet (probably won't have the opportunity until next Wednesday), but the first issue was a great introduction to this guy, and I'm really looking forward to seeing more.

New Gallery Of #SDCC Exclusive Transformers Collaboration MP-10G Optimus Prime With Slimer

Greetings Seibertronians! As SDCC draws to a close today, we're proud to announce that Transformers Collaboration MP-10G Optimus Prime With Slimer, has got the Seibertron Gallery treatment!

Take a look at this year's SDCC Exclusive below. Click on a photo to be taken to the full gallery.

Transformers X Ghostbusters MP-10G Optimus Prime (192 images)

Transformers X Ghostbusters MP-10G Slimer (43 images) - Figurine

MP-10G is a redeco of MP-10 but features a retooled roller and a Slimer figure. He also comes with his own proton pack which fits on top his trailer in vehicle mode. The retooled roller now resembles a giant ghost trap. The colour scheme that now adorns Prime in robot and vehicle modes is based off the colours of Ecto 1.

The packaging is also special on this release, it features straps to turn the box into a wearable proton pack.

This was made to celebrate the joint anniversary of both the Ghostbusters and Transformers franchises. This is alongside Transformers x Ghostbusters Crossover Comic by IDW and Ectotron, who features in the galleries as well.

What do you think of this latest addition to the MP-10 repaint family? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I managed to get mine at SDCC. It really is a unique take on the figure. As a child of the 80s, I love it!

I agree, crossovers need more fresh Cybertronians who have the form of the crossover vehicle.

Prime looks fantastic! Here's hoping his price tag means he won't sell out instantly when he comes out, I really want him!

Seriously, I'm 100% with you! Though in the unlikely event that it does linger for more than an hour or so, I think it won't be the price tag so much as the number of previous uses of the MP-10 mold. I'm probably the only one who hasn't picked up some version of it yet.
