    I have Premium Megatron on the way and wanted a Prime to go along with it
    Not too keen on the original Leader Prime
    So what do you guys think

    Nightwatch (uk version) or Premium?
    Only thing I dont like about the Premium is the bunny ears - but much prefer the chrome paint and sword

    Please help!!!

    Dude, there is little to no big difference between the three except the paint apps. If youre not too keen on the first one theres nothing in the others thats gonna change your mind. The first one is clearly the best. But if you have to decide between the latter two, get the Premium one and nip the ears. Problem solved.

    Agreed. While the Premium paint job is nice, I wouldn't trade it for my original Leader Prime. I don't like the new head sculpt.

    Get the premium takara one and then replace the head with one from the original. =)

    I agree with videriant... Get the TOMY-TAKARA Premium Optimus Prime. The chrome and sword color is much better. The Takara or UK Edition Night Watch Optimus Prime is not a bad choice either.

    In a heart beat !! Premium Optimus Prime. The paint is more shinny and the sword is lovely.

    I have been playing on my Premium Prime for the weekend and then this morning I stopped by a Target and looked closely at a NightWatch Prime.. OMG... unless you still prefer the gun and a dark color prime... The headsculpts look slightly different; honestly I don't say which one 'd be better... other than the original one is fatter, the newer one they claimed it is more movie accurated and it doesn't look significant better or worse.. But I do like the new head; it is like losing some baby fat on its face.
