is it me or should the primes in the rptf movie have toys
if you dont know what primes here they are

the ones who sam seen when he died and the ones who sacrifeced themselves to save the mtrix
if you think they should be toys tell me what class should they be
i think they should be leader but theres way to many though
maybe ultra class

Nope. Don't want them. Don't need a bunch of no-personality, no-alt-mode Prime toys kicking around.

I think there should definately be Prime toys! Especually since Im making a 3 hour Stopmotion revolving around the whole concept of being a Prime.

I could be wrong, but aren't they basically the same as The Fallen? One is plenty of that fig! I even passed on the Target repaint clearanced down to like $3...

Nope, they have a lot of varying proportions.

HOWEVER, they all are pretty much the same thing - a weird robot that plays Twister to get into a shape like a robot playing twister, so it can fly between worlds.

They're different but similar. I think the best bet for making that stop-motion would be customising lots of Fallens.

I have to go with no on this one.

Most of my RotF stuff is going to get packed away to make room for other stuff.

I may pull my TFA stuff out of storage instead.

I too say nay as it is too similar to the fallen and he was lack luster in my view.

I'ma go with no on this one...
One jumbled mess of shambling robot parts is enough.

PASS. Just let RotF die already.

I'd only want more Primes if they didn't look so The Falleny. A repaint of that Entry-mode Optimus Prime could possibly work, especially since the comics did that, but I think The Fallen is the only Prime, ex or not, who should look like a burn victim pharaoh mummy.

Eh, I guess if that's something you're really that interested in you'd have either found a way to customize the existant Fallen or found someone who could do that for you by now. I don't care if they did release more 'Primes' myself, but I have to wonder how solid an idea is when it involves releasing a number of slightly altered figures for a niche group of fans who need more characters from the 30 second-3 minute on screen range or just want them for a stop motion or a display.
No, no, no, I'm not criticising stop motions or displays. I wish I had time/inclination/skill to make my own films in the first place.
I guess it's like the Classics Rainmakers following Acid Storm. Do we really need them? I love Seekers as much as the next guy, and if they repainted any crappy movie toy and called it a Seeker I'd be like "Aw, needs me that one!" but sometimes, you just don't need to really really be a completionist like that.
