    The truck itself is fine. Cool even. The deco is awful.

    I don't like this. The truck looks like a certain go-bot... I know that prime can't be red and blue like the toon (not realistic!). But.......the whole R.I.D. concept is not true to this truck. It screams I'm big, I got flames, get the fuck out of my way...

    If this is O.P., I would love to see prime pick this truck for an alt mode on arrival on earth! (only to show how his recognizable form turns into this...)

    Would probably be better suited for Motormaster. Not Prime.

    All it needs is a giant Green Goblin head on the grill!

    Flames are lame and tacky. But then again so is a giant bright red truck. The flames are an interesting way to incorporate red without making him all red. But they're still lame and tacky.

    I don't know, I think that semi looks a little agressive for Prime's character. That truck looks like it wouldn't hesitate to plow through a stalled family car on the side of the road - family still inside. On the plus side, the added metal over the back tires (never seen that on a semi before) would give more girth to his legs...if the back will still be his legs...

    I'm not buying that he has flames, but who the hell knows. I'll wait and see before I fly off the handle.

    Potential... yes. However, way too commonplace. Robots in disguise, well he will blend in traffic. But at least if he were red we-as the audience- would readily identify with him.

    I don't care about a flat nose or this model; not being red just doesn't scream "Prime".

    The true test: how he looks in a chase scene with the Decep Police Car.

    Blah, Prime would never have flames. Its not his character as the Nobel heroic sophisticated type.

    hey in the movie he didnt hesitate to plow through like 3 decepticons! :D 

    and i dont mine the flames when i think that transformers have no idea what their alt forms mean at first, the teletran or whatever is just grabbing the nearest large metal object, and there ARE lots of rigs with flames and paintings on them.

    at least he didnt become one of those ones with coyotes and mountains or american flags with eagles all over it.

    I don't particularly like the flames. The cab looks really long as well. Hopefully it will look better on the movie screen...

    Well, it's one of these American things. I've never seen a working "long nose" lorry that's not part of some American fair thing. The noseless ones are still the rule in the UK.

    ...... not realy feelin' it. The alt. mode is fine but the paint job just doesn't fit. he better have one hell of a robot mode. I still can't wait til this movie comes out. I just hope it lives up to the hype.

    Pretty badass looking. Primes sporting the black paint now. If they make a toy of it, hope it does'nt look too much like Scourge.
    Well actually I do, but hoping that was going to be his repaint eventually.

    Reminds me of Maximum Overdrive without the Green Goblin on the grill.
    Guess he'll look alot cooler when he's smashing through Cons on the screen.
    Would love to see a Prime road rage scene
