    Hates TFW because they let someone put up a negative review of his KOLD Classics Prime, which broke and flaked to hell on the reviewer. He yelled at the reviewer and everyone else in the topic, then said he'd stab Kickback in the eye with a pen at botcon when the review wasn't taken down.

    Fun stuff, always professional.

    Oh hell yes.

    Not as super-fantastic as previously hoped. Mostly the colour scheme.

    Maybe actual good pics will make it look better, but for now it's a most likely pass. I do like the matrix in his chest, though.

    Yes please.

    He had some trouble with some members (his fault) and mods here and got banned. Then decried he wont ever post news about new toys here ever again

    Edit: Valkysas said it better.

    I see the same thing.

    And, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like the Matrix is molded on the side window pieces, so that when they fold inward to make room for the arms, the Matrix "appears" in his chest, and then splits in half and fold out of obvious view for truck mode again.

    I bet when they do the RiD Scourge repaint they call it "Nemesis Prime" and refer to his "Dead Matrix" in the bio.

    Wow. Real mature. Whatever though, it seems to me TFW carries themselves the right way and should continue to do so.

    Who's hoping for a Scourge repaint?

    Me! I'm not a fan of this Prime, but a lot of that is down to the deco, which looks rushed in my opinion. I'd snap up a black/grey/teal repaint in a heartbeat.

    Still not a big fan of truck mode. Hope it can tow the G3 trailer though. Hope if FansProject makes a trailer for this, that it also has parts to make the cab itself look better.

    Looks like a figure that would look way better with more paint in robot mode. Have a feeling the Japanese version will be much better.

    Voyager Prime mold is a perfectly adequate toy, this one is almost like a pre-paint.

    Given a noteable character shares a mould with G2 Prime, and Hasbro seem to be designing toys with future repaints in mind, I'd say it's more than likely.

    Me too. It wouldn't look as bland. Also...anyone else getting an Optimus Primal vibe from the robot mode?

    Someone should tell G2 Prime that blue and black is a fashion faux pas. :lol 

    I like the figure but the G2 colors are making it very hard for me to make it a purchase.

    I wear blue and black all the time - does that make me a fashion faux pas?

    Going to pick up the toy once it's out. I like the G2 style, but I'd get a Scourge as well if one were made. And yeah, Toxitron too if only for the sheer laughs of owning a toy of that guy in some form.

    Going to wait for someone to post some decent pictures though, I think, before getting too excited.
