Why didnt Hasbro just make a deluxe movie prime for the set? I might but it just to keep in the box.

I thought this was already common knowledge? Anyway, I picked one up on the 2nd. Its about the worst version of each figure, but I still love the concept!

Yeah, I just saw that this past Sunday when I went to Wal-Mart. Shelves were overflowing with movie stuff, I might add...

Beats the frak out of me. It would have made me seriously reconsider buying it in spite of the fact that I already have UB Optimus (which is the main reason I'm passing on this to begin with).

That is pretty cute, its especially cool because i have (and love) that classics prime and my son has the movie fab prime.

I guess the cross generational gimick works!

That's quite a range of opinion, isn't it?

So instead of saying these suck, just tell me WHY they are so terrible.

I want to know, because I don't have the set.

Well, the Classics Prime deluxe has a pretty good robot mode, but the vehicle mode is not very convincing. At all.

I don't have the FAB version of Prime, so I've got no real opinion on it other than I guess in a Father/Son pack, the son is supposed to be too young to play with the regular figures.

I'd like these exclusives a lot more if they were offering something different that just packing already available figures into two packs. Sure, you're getting a little bit of a deal, but even the slightest of repaints would make it more rewarding and probably more profitable to the retail places selling them.

It's what made Robo-Vision Optimus such a must have: it's different than the general release (plus, it's available BEFORE that release, so double bonus!).

Thank you. That's all I wanted, some clarification.
