Very cool collection/setup.

 

I really like the assortment of BM TFs.

 

On my last city trip I was surprised to find a comics/toy store that still had plenty of them in stock MISB. So far I've only picked up Mega Tankor, and Vehicon Thrust. They don't look like much inside the box but what once you open em and fiddle around with them a little they're actually pretty cool. Very inovative designs, and transformations, and feature suitable gimicksthat don't need an excess bit of plastic to use. If I eventially go back I'm hoping to grab Mega Cheetor/Rattrap, and Deluxe Primal. Primal personally looks like a complete WTF but it's a Prime, and may turn out to be pretty cool. What are your thoughts on primal, and others in terms of casual collectng?

I personally like BM Primal a lot. You have to pretty much forget about the show when you look at him, but he's a really cool figure (and the only Primal that I'm aware of that isn't some variation on the "stand up and switch heads" theme). You get the sense that Hasbro was thinking of the BM Maximals as being a lot more cyborg-ish than Mainframe was, and he's got a cool look. The gorilla mode is pretty fierce looking, actually. (Again, a nice contrast from most Primals, who have stupid looking MUNKY faces.)

 

And plus, he's teh cheap. :thumb So you gotta like that.

:monkey Just don't see it.

then look at this instead:

 

 

It's a test shot, so the colors are a bit different. But it's the same mold.

Now in that PIC(only in that pic) I'll give you the beast mode. It looks great there. But that bot mode still looks Ugh. Fatimus Prime wasn't the first fat looking Prime,err Optimus.

The gorilla face looks different in the pictures b/c the upper jaw is moveable. Keep it down if you want a :eek expression on his face, but keep it up if you want him to look super badass.

 

Primal isn't fat in robot mode, either - it's just the middle bit of his torso sticking out there. He's got quite the goth waist, in fact.

:rofl *I am trans-purged*

That is a sweet collection MH.

 

Never seen Beast Machines :redface, never shown over here, am super intrigued.

Awsome pics fellow contributers. Deluxe Primal looks like a solid buy in bot mode. Looks well proportioned, and fairly articulate. I also really like the blue translucent plastic used for most of it. The gorrilla head in alt mode definitely looks nicer on the test shot, but I can't see much of a difference in bot mode.

 

Thanks for the input MH I'll grab em next time i see him if able. :thumb 

You are lucky. My BM Primal's crotch won't stay connected, so he can't assume beast or robot mode.
