Expected to releasing in Mar, we can take order at US$42.5. The design was by Kawamori S. and now the draft color is out as well. Taking order now."

Will we see a G1 Jetfire by any chance?... :D

If you look closely at prime's face he seems really pissed off. Kind of menacing looking like the gundams in stardust memory. Everytime I look at it I think this is an evil prime.

I've seen the truck mode. It's easily as bad as the Robot Masters version. The mutant windshield that showed up with 20th Anny Prime has grown to even worse proportions, and the front wheels look to be jammed too far forward in the wheel wells. Plus, there's a gaping hole in the sides of the cab.

EDIT: Followed the link in ComicKaze's post. The truck mode looks even worse than in the last picks I saw. Poor Prime :(

I don't think the truck looks that bad. It's not like this is some binaltech redesign that's supposed to look amazing in vehicle mode and passable in robot mode... it's supposed to look bad-ass in robot mode, and passable in vehicle mode.

The windshield does gotta go, though.

Is that really a Kawamori design? The lineart is fantastic. I'd love to see his takes on more of the classic G1 characters.

This thing would kick some serious arse if they narrowed out Prime's Obliques like in the lineart. It would give him the more trim and athletic look. I wonder if the width there was a necessity...

Please next time if any of has new TF news, please put in the TF theard.  Yes I preordered mine, I wish Kawamori would design next Galvatron.

which stores are taking pre-orders?

In terms of scale, would it be the same as the 20th Aniversary Prime?

354598[/snapback]

no in fact it is quite small, it will most likely be diecast metal, it will be probably no taller then a Gundam Fix figure, i am pretty certain Image Anime and Big Bad Toy Store are taking pre-orders

It's about half the size of the orignal Prime toy.

Frankly, I'm glad it was posted here. The problem with all these damn "Super Threads" is that suddenly everyone expects anything remotely related to the subject to be in there. But 99% of the TF thread is toy-related, and I gave up collecting toys years ago, so just like I never visit the Toys and Models section of the boards, I stopped checking the TF thread. If news of a Kawamori-designed Prime (which I'm more interested in the lineart than the toy) had been confined to the TF thread, I'd have missed it.

SO is he designing any other transformers? Personnally I like this rendition of prime, of course I liked his Gundams in 0083 more then any other too.

Try Image Anime and Big Bad Toystore, I believe both are still taking preorders. even though both are in the USA they get there import orders very quickly only like a week or so after Hobby Link Japan. They are both reliable and have fast and inexpenisve shipping.

Hm, anyone know why this isn't the same size as the G1 Prime?

Beacuse the current trend is for small but high quality figures ala HCM Pro's.

Or, where Bandai goes Takara is sure to follow.

I guess, but personally I don't like the figs so damn small far too fragile IMO. And for the price... sheesh I want something larger! <_<

i'm going to skip pepsi prime..looks kind of silly to me. just need to know if this is a good store and i'll place an order for macross prime (image and BBTS were a bit more expensive, particularly with shipping)

They should let Kawamori remake each of the G1 figures. I'd gladly sell all my Alternators and Binaltechs for that.
