    I hope not; this is great, I haven't got either figures yet and as long as Prime comes with his trailer and of course the cyber planet keys for both figures I'll get my parents to keep an eye out and pick me this up, I mean come on; two figures for the price of one! And one Ultra to boot seeing as how the supers are two times the asking price on this two-pack.
    I am so glad Hasbro didn't just cheap out and give us Energon Prime and Wing Saber; this means I can finally get my Cybertron Optimus Prime and have Wing Saber absolutely free... No wait; strike that, reverse it. :D  :D  :D 

    Bring on Transformers Cybertron Sonic Wing Mode Prime Exclusive Set... I wonder what's going to be on the DVD; most likely eps featuring the sonic wing mode, at least it better be more then one ep.

    ...wow...

    ...that's remarkably... underwhelming...

    Hmm... if I have the extra cash and the time later on... I may do like RW suggested and pick this pack up for a set to converge into a Nemesis Prime & Shadow Saber two pack. Shadow Wing Mode anyone?

    That's been my theory as well. Although I still partly blame hasbro's distribution as it happens with all their lines, not just transformers.

    That said, HOLY @#$%! It's gonna be the cybertron versions. I am totally getting that. I can't believe how cheap it is. It's optimus for $5.

    Also, I would like to repaint prime in the nemesis style. I wonder how many people will buy it, then buy the galaxy convoy repaint and swap the primes. Note: I don't condone that, I actually think it is very very wrong. If I see anyone doing it I will blow the whistle on them.

    A repaint of the Energon Prime/WS set would be awesome.

    Cool, I haven't picked up Cyb. Wing Saber yet, so this set would be great once I figure out the exact street date of this set in September.:)

    To bad there's no costco around here. :( 

    I've never seen a single Wing Saber anywhere. :(

    They're hoping not enough people try to mooch off other people with Costco memberships in order to get them.

    Anybody have any idea how to get confirmation on whether or not Prime is complete in this set, i.e. has trailer? If so, I'm all over this, 'cause I don't have Prime or Wing Saber yet, and the price is right!

    Damn! And I thought I was being so logical with my arguement too. Sadly they are not repainted either. Good for you I guess.

    Since I already have both Prime and WS the only way I'd get him is if it came with Coby Ramble or had a really cool new paint job.

    Seeing as how Cybertron Prime doesn't actually look like a vheicle without his trailer I think it would be stupid on Hasbro's part to omit that piece considering how many parents who have seen the Optimus figure and know what he comes with, but were unwilling to pay for him, yet will so go for this set, would be extrememly mad and flame their offices with hate mail... And I have no idea if that came out right.
