Nice, but they could have pushed the envelope alittle farther.

I'm realy gonna pass judgment till I see it in hand cause NightWatch Prime WOWED me once I saw it up close.

However for now, it's not enough, so it's a most likely pass.

Glad I waited to get premium prime. I don't see a huge difference in the head, I'll be getting this for the sword.

Meh' it's not all that better then the first go-around.

But maybe I'm having a moment. When I see it up close I'm sure I'll change my opinion.

After seeing what its head looks like, I can't tell if this new head or the old one is more movie-accurate.

I can't see what's new with the head sculpt. The pic is tiny.

That head does look pretty sweet, but still.
Even with the sword, not worth it now that I have Nightwatch.

They should do something about the legs instead.

Oh I can't wait for a Premium Nightwatch Ultra Magnus and a spy Cliffjumper (with battle mask!) when they're released.

/sarcasm.

On the fence with this one. I really don't see enough difference in the head scuplt to buy it. I do like the addition of the sword but I don't know if it will be enough to make me want to dish out another $40 for him.

Now with all these nice looking premium figures coming out, why didn't Hasbro just release these in the first place? Are they that lazy to do a decent sculpt and paint job on a figure? I mean here we are with our Movie figure collection nearly complete when BOOM, we get these nicer looking figures of the figures we already own

The new head looks nice. I wish they used this one on the first release. I thought I wasn't getting this Prime repaint but now, I'm at 50-50.

We've got fun and games! We've got everything ya want... and then we're gonna remold and repaint it and force it down your throat again! :|

On a serious note though, I do think that this figure is a bit of a waste- unless you're that desperate for a sword. I found a cheaper substitute: use Doomlock's sword (from energon, released in universe) and fit the 'gun handle' of it into one of the screw holes in Prime's arm (after removing Prime's gun of course). It fits like a glove, and it looks pretty beleivable to boot. Only cost me $7 and I got a figure too :P

Is there any bigger pictures of the new head?

I understand they cut slots in the top of the truck to handle the bunny ears.

If that is true this si atotal pass for me. Of not, I'm still probably OK with the one I already have.

Meh, the head looks alright, but the sword looks better then that nclunky blaster that first edition moviemus has. :grin:
