ZorClone Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 why does the viper look orange? =P nice pic Cali Quote
Californium Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 (edited) 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....

dr_vandermeer Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 Thanks Californium! That's the shot. Quote
SkullLeaderVF-X Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 (edited) here's a group shot. DAMN!!!!!Thats looks great!!!!!! Edited January 10, 2004 by SkullLeaderVF-X Quote
eriku Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 (edited) OHHHHH!!!!! LOOOOOOK!!! Hasbro's box turns into a trailer too!!! ::EDIT:: see next post for pic, resized. LOL!!! I think 'sucks' pretty much sums it up. The rest of Remy's Hasbro Prime gallery is here: http://tfkenkon.com/collection/act179/ Edited January 10, 2004 by eriku Quote
mister_e Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 LOL!!! I think 'sucks' pretty much sums it up. To be fair, they never tried to pass if off as a trailer. Whoever took the picture just got creative. It doesn't really suck for what it intended to be...which is nothing more than a pretty picture to put behind Prime in the box. Saying it sucks as a trailer is like saying a pencil sucks as a baseball bat. Quote

Obviously Hasbro didn't intend for it to be attatched to the outside of Prime to be hauled around. Enjoy some humor, would ya? Quote
Mechamaniac Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 (edited) Hey, has this been mentioned before? Seems that Hasbro's prime is battle damaged? As a matter of fact, he's sporting the same wound that proved to be fatal in TF The Movie. Here they are side by side... And here's Hasbro's Prime in the box, unless Remy customized his... As if the stubby smokestacks weren't enough, now your Hasbro Prime is also "moments before death" Prime. Edited January 10, 2004 by Mechamaniac Quote
Californium Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 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.) Quote
Toast Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 Wish I could bring my MP Prime into Wal-Mart to do comparisons... (I don't dare) Why not? The greeter will give you a sticker that means you came in with it and nobody will give you any flak about it then. Locally we had a dude take an axe in to have a "discussion" with his wife and her boyfriend about cheating. When the police located him his bloody axe had the sticker on it. *I in no way condone chopping your wife up with an axe btw Quote

If it was really that, he'd have a hole in his gut. The burn marks seem to correspond to where Megatron shot him him repeatedly, minus the one up by his head. These could just be random burn/smoke/dirt marks, more like weathering, or after a long day of kicking someone's ass. I still like my pristine Takara version. Still don't know why they would bother chopping the smokestacks. The things are even spring loaded to prevent breakage. But if it can be found for in the in the $70's, and avoid shipping, I can see how some might migrate to that one instead, though the Takara is clearly the superior version.

I didn't, however, realize you were joking though. Quote

Kin Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 Lol what's with those silver screws?? Looks like Prime got nipples I'd paint them gray.. Quote

He's going to be $59.99 at Target. For that low low price, there's no way I can justify paying the $100 or so for better smokestacks and a clean paint job. Quote
EXO Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Hello everybodyClick for my version of the new ray MPC trailer MPC prime trailer nice... did you glue the cardboard box to the sides? Quote
Godzilla Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 I am glad I am skipping MP Prime from Hasbro. I have 3 MP OP from Takara that I am very happy with. Quote
Lodizah Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Exo Had to scan original art and resize it to fit the new ray trailer. Then I used double stick tape to mount the panels on. Also had to cut and drill the trailer's frame to heighten the wheels to be level with Prime. Even used the piece of plastic supplied with the card board trailer as a retro fitted hitch. That cardboard business is horrible. In the pic is the left overs of the original frame (black piece of plastic makes excellent shims). Quote

Mr.Sci-Fi Posted February 6, 2004 Author Posted February 6, 2004 Shuttle and trailer pics updated. I put a trailer on ebay too. Quote
eriku Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 Shuttle and trailer pics updated. I put a trailer on ebay too. Nice work! By the way, what is that shuttle toy from? I remember getting one at a garage sale when I was a kid but I never knew where it was from. I think it's still kicking around somewhere at my parents house. Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 (edited) Why the heck are you all going nuts over that silly trailer when the real treasure here is the custom MB Starbird Avenger...?! You people have no taste! Just kidding, everyone! Mr Sci-Fi, great work on both! The Starbird Avenger was the toy I always wanted as a kid, and it looks great in those colours...!

Edit: Eriku, more information on the gorgeous Starbird Avenger can be found here: http://www.bugeyedmonster.com/ I've already fallen for the starbird along time ago, I have three out of four of starbird toys stil MISB, not to count the numberous loose ones I have. I've even collected foreign market versions. Quote
eriku Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 Edit: Eriku, more information on the gorgeous Starbird Avenger can be found here: http://www.bugeyedmonster.com/ Thanks for the link! I had forgotten all about this toy until I saw Mr.Sci-Fi's custom. Mine was missing the gun turret when I got it and I always wondered what was supposed to go in that spot. I'll have to dig up the old Starbird next time I'm at my parent's house. Quote

I'll have to dig up the old Starbird next time I'm at my parent's house. That's the most common lost part, the original design for them to stay in sucked. On my autobot shuttle repaint I'm going to add a little dish there. I still have to figure out what I'm going to put inplace of the small rear thrusters.
