    Any chance that I'll be able to disable that silly spin-form gimmick?

    It looks like it's just a simple gear system. I'd imagine you could get in there, remove one gear and disable it. I'll take a look in a little bit.

    cool pics when did you get him, they have been hitting ebay hard after mines hit. what are the odds that we have all the same animated figures, I guess you hit ebay just as hard as i did.

    I don't currently have the two pack, but other than that I've got:

    Cybertron Optimus
    Voyager Optimus
    Lockdown
    Prowl
    Voyager Megatron
    Bulkhead
    Bumblebee
    Starscream

    Ratchet and Blackarachnia should get here today, and Voyager Lugnut should get here next Thursday/Friday.

    Actually, I take that back. I think it's still possible, but you're going to have to knock the pins out of both arms to get to a couple of screws that hold a piece in place that in turn holds everything else together. Not worth the effort really for a feature that's only mildly annoying when it causes problems.

    Yeah, right now Voyager Prime and Lockdown are practically tied at the top of my list. I'm really looking forward to Lugnut as well.

    D Banks shows it in his video review. Basically, you push a button on his back and his legs spin down into their position in robot mode automatically.

    YAY!

    I just don't know why it looks so much different from the cartoon form...

    Anyway, the fig looks great. Just hope the spin feature isn't crap.

    im thinking this is my favourite prime ever.

    animated is the first time since G1 that TF have really grabbed my attention. I have about 70 TF toys, about 75% are reissue or vintage G1's, the other 25% are sporadic energon/binaltech/movie/BW/universe/classics/masterpiece toys that ive liked, the difference with these toys is that i want to buy just about all of them, the only one i dont really care for is lockdown (a firm favourite I know). its going to be fun, ive never gone into a store and bought a whole stack of TF but when wave 1 arrives i may just be doing that!!

    It's not crap. It's pretty cool once you get used to it. The frustration comes initially while you learn how to get it lined up going back to vehicle mode. Once you do though, it's nifty.

    These pics have made something for Prime no previous figure, animation or movie has in the past: he actually looks better without the faceplate.

    I know, I know. BLASPHEMY! But, that's just IMO. :)

    Same. exact. thing. Well, Superglue will work, and not affect the figure, but I don't want to glue it, so I'll try to coat with clear nail polish, let it cure, then re-attach the leg and it should tighten it up. Usually works like a charm :)
