The Unicron head is GREAT! It's pretty scary! I can't believe that this is aimed at kids solely!

 

Also from what I've seen, does the head make up for the fact that Primus is in fact, a touch SMALLER than Unicron? And they'll be charging the same price for Primus? Is this some kind of guilty compensation? Primus already has feature gimmicks right? Why add more?

 

Dont get me wrong, I think this is a really cool idea, just wondering where it might be coming from... anyone?

I was expecting an exclusive LOC figure (like the metallic Galaxy Convoy repaint for Megalo Convoy) or a special Minicon... not that piece of crap.

WTF do those have to do with Primus? It only makes sense to pack in something that is connected somehow to the real product.

It could well have been a metallic LOC Optimus Prime. Keep your little WTF for yourself.

You guys don't see the real picture yet - the hentacle Armada Unicron head is only there to make up for the loss of paint apps and no electronics for the upcoming Cybertron Primus figure.

 

cheap molded head :mwahaha

 

 

*baits the traps and runs*

Once again, I don't understand what makes everyone b*tch about this particular topic. It's a toy head. Not a big deal. I mean, I can understand not liking a figure....but it's a little toy head. Get over it. If you're going to be fanboys about it, at least rant about something bigger- like that new Master Collector fig or whatever. But this just doesn't make any sense to me.

I have to agree in general.... I mean the idea of doing this in the first place is pure fanwank. You might argue about the execution but that's another matter.

I agree, its just a damn freebie. Habro didn't have to throw us this bone and really I'm quite happy that they did.

it's because of the hype.

 

same reason why a huge amount of people are dissapointed about the new Primal and Megatron molds. Hasbro hyped them up FAR TOO MUCH.

 

i mean, how is a partially developed Unicron head worth 60 bucks? remember, Hasbro said "You'll like this so much you'll buy our Primus after you buy Takara's Primus!"

 

the fan backlash in this case is entirely Hasbro's fault. they let peoples' expectations get too high, or possibly inflated them to that much.

 

hopefully the backlash from the BW leader molds and this will teach Hasbro not to hype up Blot so much.

 

I doubt it though. :(

Did Hasbro hype up the new Primal and Megs or was it the Botcon attending fans?

I'm putting that one on the fans.

Where did u get the dumb idea that Cybertron Primus won't have electronics? If anything, it's always the Takara version who ends up not having electronics for a given toy, never the opposite.

INDEED

 

If we as a fandom didn't clamor to dig up every tiny scrap of news we could find, we wouldn't have a "hype" problem.

 

We could wait until all the toys come out, like the kids do (and like we used to).

It could well have been a metallic LOC Optimus Prime. Keep your little WTF for yourself.

If you want an LOC Prime Metallic so bad, just get Megalo Convoy.
