Looks like crap. Seems to have no articulation, color sucks, doesn't really resemble Prime, plus the main point... WE ALREADY HAVE A PRIME FOR ALT/BT!!!

 

Masterpiece Prime is all we need to go along w/ the Alt/BT line. Why make a crappy rendition of Prime when that mold could go to Ironhide like everyone was speculating (still not exactly right for Ironhide, but much better than a crappy cheap Prime).

 

Hasbro should just leave well enough alone and keep MP/20th Prime as the Prime for the Alt/BT line (just give us a worthy Megs to w/ it and we will be happy I am sure).

He's mistransformed :monkey

 

I like em but that mold was obviously meant for Trailbreaker. look at that shoulders and chest. That's probably why they were cool with making Swindle.

He doesn't look that bad, I smell a repaint for Megs.

I always thought MP Prime counted as an Alt/BT  :redface

 

I already said please god no! Even If Megs is a Repaint, Dont repaint Prime into Megs.

The Jeep mold is meant to be TB!  C'mon, what sense does it make to call a 2wd street truck TRAILbreaker?!?!  Might as well take a sportscar and call it Runway or something.  This mold isnt bad for OP, but it needs a LOT of work. Good idea, but the legs suck ass. Articulation, anyone?

Takara would only make a truck if it was Optimus Prime. He's a compromise.

I never said no.... its a good mold, of course there will be great kitbashes made from this, like Nemesis Prime or even Rodimus Prime maybe. Just another Prime to add to the collection.

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
