    I agree with shibamura_prime. You need to get Star Wars Crossover Darth Vader/Death Star.

    Those damn panels!!!

    well, i thought i might not need another version of prime since i ordered rotf optimus prime. wouldn't any other prime be too similar but lacking in complexity? regarding the bumblebees, the more i think about it, the more i guess how much lining up panels would not be a fun challenge. i could be wrong though.

    I am not sure how you categorize the toys in your own "little world". But Cybertronian Optimus Prime and Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime are 2 completely different character and toy. There are multiple universe in the Transformers series you know.

    there seems to be a lot of different versions of prime and even quite a few models of cybertonian prime. if there really is a model of cybertronian prime that is a fairly difficult challenge then which one is it?

    go for the universe version of hotshot
    as for railracer, i'm sure you can get them loose somewhere
    buildking = landfill
    it's quite reasonably priced for a combiner

    alternity should be cheaper now.

    I honestly dont think any TF figure is that challenging sure it may have one part you have to get the knack of but once you have it figured out thats it

    Not all Prime's look the same. The designs, and thus the transformations, are very different. I highly recommend the Generations WFC Cybertronian Prime. He is very complex for a deluxe, and absolutely NOTHING like ROTF Prime. Doesn't even look the same.

    Yup. War for Cybertron Prime. Nice toy, great involved transformation for its size. As a bonus, he's about as far away as an Optimus can get in design from the ROTF one.

    The War for Cybertron Bumblebee/Cliffjumper is decently complex, but like I said it's all in lining up panels. Pretty easy after the first go-round. On the other hand, WFC Prime is fun every time, at least for me.

    TRANSFORMERS War for Cybertron Deluxe Optimus Prime NEW - eBay (item 330484297109 end time Feb-10-11 00:58:09 PST)

    two of u are talking about a different wfc prime, i think. anyway, TRANSFORMERS War for Cybertron Deluxe Optimus Prime NEW - eBay (item 330484297109 end time Feb-10-11 00:58:09 PST)

    that title has 'deluxe' and 'optimus prime'. is that the one? that's kinda high for a deluxe, especially one that is supposed to be widely available. i think i'm lost on this.

    just take some time and look at the Optimus Primes.
    the Listing for Optimus Ptime- Generations is the WfC one that posters have been telling you that is widely available in retail stores for far cheaper than eBay. this should clear up any, ANY confusion about whose prime is what prime.

    and i really hope you get your hands on that ALT/BT Wheeljack/Grimlock mold. if you don't think it's challenging, i'd eat my least favorite Gobot.

    Yeah, that's the one, but it should not be that expensive. He's out like everywhere right now. $10-$17 is the price range I've seen him for at various stores. That ebay auction is asking way too much. I don't know your situation, but if you can get to a wlamart/target/Toys r us, he should be there. He seems to be at every store I've gone to in the past few months And yeah he has a lot of titles. Generations War for Cybertron deluxe optimus prime. lol Just if you keep searching ebay for one, make sure to use generatoins or war for cybertron, as there were some other deluxe optimus primes in the past few years
