Hasbro Primus Extra Unveiled.

I agree.

 

HBS-02 may have already had the mold created and is also a guaranteed seller. The Dodge Ram is probably a bit too much of a risk at the moment as it is an unknown car in Japan (essentially) coupled with the funny shoulders (which I would suspect are the way they are due to Hasbros demand on building things down to a cost)

I thought they should have replicated the mold details from Laser Prime's shoulders onto those weird shoulder bits - that would have been cooler.

Yeah, I suspect that there was some funky peice of engineering on the shoulders at one point that was dropped for cost reasons, they are just weird as they are now.

It just looks like people were expecting some extra Transformer to come with Primes, and if you thought that, then I don't know what to say other then you have expectations that are way too high.  I knew it would be something cool and small, and I don't watch Gf or Cybertron so I'm glad it's not some stupid thing from the show, it's Unicron's friggin head! It's awesome.  Some people are too hard to please.  

 

Starscream Starscream Starscream.  just be happy you are getting something cool.

That might make sense... If Galaxy Force was indeed a stupid show. As it isn't you really don't have much to stand on.

 

Oh well, I'll be getting Primus some day. If I get Unicron's head I get it and if I don't, I don't. It really doesn't concern me.

 

Anyway, I'd rather Noah would be released seperately... and transform  :redface

 

 

I guess when I'm twenty or so, Hasbro will start releasing things I want.

I'd say don't count on it, but heck, I'm wrong all the time. :tflaugh

 

But a transforming noah would rock...  Al four space shies, amd maybe little figures of all the humans, or coby's rumble.... :schin

Let's all just agree to disagree. It is a cool accessory for people buying Primus, but, not enough for everyone to change their mind.

 

Otherwise, I think it's pretty neat. The young collectors will be satisfied with the big cool toy and the Unicron head, while the older collectors will like a toy of THE Primus, and a GREAT homage to G1 Unicron's restorage.

I'm honestly happy its not the Noah.  Its in the series for maybe two episodes and thats it.  And honestly its not that cool looking IMHO.  Its a long shaft with a ring at one end and a little gold spike looking thing on the other.  And its bigger then Primus himself, which is jsut ridiculous.

 

The Unicron Head I like, if it had been Cybertron's moons that would have been cool, but the Noah just doesn't seem worth it to me.  but then I'm looking at Primus not as a Cybertron or Galaxy Force figure but as the TF home world and creator.  I don't care which series he's from, as far as I'm concerend he's part of all of them.

    • 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.
