The main problem I have with it at the moment isn't the lack of articulation, but the lack of detail. Mirage looks awesome, although his head sculpt didn't immediatly strike me as "OMG Mirage"  in the same way as the other G1 characters did.

I dunno, he seems about as detailed as Mirage, to me.  It's just that, at least how they've shown him so far, he's got a lot of the smooth car body panels in plain sight, moreso than Mirage.  And his hips are obviously mistransformed (I'm almost willing to bet that there's an Alt. Hound-esque fold in there, so what we're actually looking at is the inside of his stomach), so that's nothing to judge by.

Hmmmm.... It's seems stupid now.... but I thought the Star Wars TFs would be.... you know...... TF characters with Star Wars alt modes... Apart from Greivous, and maybe ObiWan's fighter..... they look crap. Oh well, kids will love them. I know I would've.

 

Anyway, everything else is nice. I'm sure Alt Prime will look better as more appropriate pics come to light.

All in all a very good year is coming.

 

And any details on what EXACTLY is the extra part for Hasbro Primus? I'm tempted to get the Takara Primus if it's released earlier just so I can spread my spending out a bit more to take some heat off my wallet.

The outstanding rumor I've heard is it comes with a moon base. This came from Archer claiming that some people would want two Primus's because of the US bonus.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The other 2 colors of Rumble?

I doubt that's enough incentive to buy another Primus, since you can just import them.  Aaron Archer's fully aware of our capacity to do so.  It's gotta be something Cybertron exclusive.

 

And besides, they said that they weren't producing the yellow and blue Scrapmetal "Terrorcons" at the con, but were instead going to do something different for their redeco.  What that is, remains to be seen, unless it's the Cybertron release of "Coby's personal Ramble".

Free money we can use to buy more Transformers?

Primus & Unicron Plushies? :tftongue

Edit:  Blue Ford GT with white stripes for Mirage, then reapinted as White with Blue stripes for 'Brakedown'  (No sane car company would accept 'Break'down.)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That confirmed already?  Or just idle fan speculation?

 

'cause I'd giggle like a schoolgirl if it's painted yellow with red stripes and purple robot mode highlights and named Drag Strip.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

Colors unconfirmed for now. But we'll probably see a leaked one in Feb or so.

What i said seems closest to Mirage as was.

 

Yellow with black is also fine, but i'm always inclined to view Decepticharge as Drag Strip....... 

 

Ford may not like 'Brake'down either.  Who could blame them.

Now we're just getting stupid.  No, it will not be free money, because for that to be an incentive, they'd have to give us more money than Primus costed, and well, y'know where that ends up...

 

And unless they're packed as a 50/50 ratio between either Primus or Unicron plushies, that's still not an incentive, unless you want doubles...

Plushies are not an incentive. Ever. No plushies.

 

 

A moon base huh? :tfhuh I think I'll be going Takara Primus then. I'm planning on diplaying him in bot-mode, I won't need an extra piece of plastic clogging up my shelf space.

I like plushies...

 

And I'd only buy 2 if the 'moonbases' done more than sit there looking pretty. Plus they'd hafta bee drastically different. Maybe if Primus came with 2 sets of minicons...

Yeah, I was just being silly.  Moon base seems logical, and I really have no clue who the remold of Mirage would be.  Even with the limited cast(pre movie characters), I'm not placing any bets just yet.
