As for Primal Prime, I really want him, especially if there's no painting required which, save for the silver, it doesn't appear that there is because all the blue, red and white appear to be colored plastics.

Rodimus Prime wrote:So the Armada Tidal Wave mold for troop building is out? Or is that going to be a convention souvenir set?

The Thunder “Twins” are racing up and down the corridors, making enough of a racket to wake all of The Pit. Even those Decepticon sparks like Trannis that are buried its deepest, darkest depths wouldn't be able to continue their slumber. The duo push their accelerators hard against their floor boards while keeping their clutches stationary. “Revving” they call it. The result is a hideous noise that saws its way through your cranial plating and into your circuit boards. It's almost like you can feel your head throbbing from the inside out, pulsing at the same harmonics as the roaring engines. Then comes the squealing of Rolling Thunder's tires and the booming of Thunderclap's turbines as the two white vehicles speed off down the passageway.

[...]

Ferak's new converting weapons have been distributed amongst the crew (and some of them already named despite having just primitive artificial intelligence – Thunderclap has named his “Pillage” while Rolling Thunder went with “Plunder”)...
