What's even worse, that fatal wound is actually on the wrong side. Which either means it's a similar but non-fatal wound Prime received at some earlier time, or this is actually Negative Universe Prime, thrown into our universe by a cataclysmic plasma explosion and forced to fight alongside his properly mirrored brother under threat of castration: a threat which, quite apparently, was carried out not once but twice. (Probably by Ratchet; we all know he’s into that sort of thing.)

Try pushing the forward edge of the button toward the back of the torso.

You young ruffian show-offs with your giant crisp clear pictures...

Ugly but kickass, like Snake-eyes...

No problem.

I must say that the group shot with the trailer is not mine. Nabbed it from that site that showed the convoy toy converting a toy trailer to fit himself: someone linked to it in the big Prime thread. EDIT: Here's the link. First posted in the big thread by CF18. http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown/2614/s...w/MPconvoy.html Here's a pic that shows how bot mode prime usually towers over the other autobots....

here's a group shot.

Or at least fill in the old microman seats in Roller's back. Wouldn't want Rumble or Frenzy to get any ideas about heisting Prime's little helper.

good point.

I think anyone showing off their own work, especially when it kicks ass, should get to have their own thread to do so. It's really a different topic and purpose than a thread on a stock item.

Guess who, er, "what" won TOTY at toybox? Holy crap, look at the graphic breakdown of the votes

Hi Don't forget to post the pics of your new look Prime Certainly!

Easily the best toy ever. (This coming from a very selective collector.) The engineering might not be Perfect Grade caliber, but it's a giant Optimus Prime with a kickin' bot mode for galaxy's sake! So large and heavy, makes me feel like a little kid again. I've probably transformed him four or five times a day since I got him more than a week ago. No sign of any weak spots. Looks like it even has a metal pin going through the neck joint to keep it strong. And that LED for the matrix...so fraggin' bright! I could probably tape the switch on and use Prime to read by at night. Now I just need to get a Hasblow Prime for spare parts. I'll use that one to figure out how to take him apart safely. Then I'll strip the chrome on my Takara and paint those bits with silver enamel, detail the panel lines and recesses, change some details and colors here and there, and add some subtle weathering (especially in those molded scratches and dings). Can't wait to get started. To anyone not yet owning a Takara or Hasbro MP Prime. . . Hurry up, pick your price point, and BUY. Do it now. There will be no regrets.

I like the way his weapon stows away. I wonder if the other use of this mold might be Roadbuster, and if so, what would the head sculpt look like. Rather unlikely though...

Is that a flip-over autobot emblem I see before me?

I've been looking forward to this one. Already pre-ordered the alternator. Just one thing bothers me after seeing these pics: the head sculpt. As it is now, it just doesn’t look like G1 Hound. The face is too narrow and triangular. Looks great. Just doesn't look like Hound to me. I just wish the face was a bit broader.

Firefly was a great show. Second only to Farscape. Those networks should be deeply embarassed by their tendency for premature cancellation. They just get excited way too easily.

Mine is supposed to arive today. Waiting is no longer as easy as it was when it was merely impossible.

What kind of conclusion is that?! This thread would make a really sucky movie! I need answers. I need to know! Where's my big finish?! oh well.

Shipping from BBTS soon.

Prime: "Oh, look at the time. We gotta go. Bumblebee, you can handle Megs, right? Sure you can. Smokescreen, Sides, let's roll." Bumblebee: "Uh, Optimus?" Megatron: "Did anyone ever tell you you have warm wheels?" Bumblebee: "UH, Optimus!"

The hood is still in the back, ain't it? That's the back end up front this time.

It does look better. Although, no little twist will improve that head sculpt. Also, seeing tail-lights on an autobots chest is a little odd, but not a deal breaker.

Wife? Satan? CRS? Wife and Satan? CRS and Wife? Who knows? Seems rather innocent to me. Let it play out. (And see how your wife reacts when suddenly you don't seem at all concerned about it.)

Your wife knows. She's in on it.
