Who is Hasbro marketing the Supreme Animated Prime towards? It seems like a waste for people who like to transform their figures. And as others have pointed out, it doesn't quite fit in with the scale. If it's marketed towards children, I don't understand how they are going to afford it.

Does anyone know anything more about the Black Classics Prime? Is this an exclusive?

Many childred don't pay for their toys with their allowance any more. It's over-induldent parents and whiney children saying "I want it! I want it!" that this toy is marketed at.

With the newest post in the toys forum having an ebay auction for the Rollout Optimus Prime Supreme figure, many people are complaining the price of supremes will go up very high. But, based on Hasbro's online shop, he will only be $50.00. Still worth it?

I like the Voyager Class for Animated Prime better, as i find it to be the one that resembles the cartoon version more. As for this roll out version, i not liking the design much, especially Prime's bumper hugely sticking out of Prime's bottom in robot mode! I guess what makes it cooler is just it's size and gimmicks. :grin:

Voyager Prime's Axe is all kinds of ugly...

yeah i agree. but for me it's better for the weapon to be ugly instead of the character itself.

Please bring me a 2008 Wonderfest Henkei Nemesis Prime this year. I promise to be a good boy. I won't nab Animated toys from children's hands when I got to Toys R Us. I can't promise anything with Universe though - I'm sure you understand. I'll also try not to criticize Hasbro's paint jobs, or Takara's quality control/chrome placement. I'll try real hard not to complain about scalper prices on eBay and how long it takes my orders to arrive. And I'll only mention Botcon Exclusive seekers if absolutely necessary.

Thank you so much Santa! Tell Rudolph I say hi.

P.S. If I bribe you with extra cookies, will it help? You can count on seeing more gingerbread this year!

Best. Post. Ever.
