    Also THS-02, Universe (the teensy one), Classics Deluxe (thankfully) and the later G1 Primes like Powermaster and Star Convoy.

    But yeah, an awful lot have been repainted white at this point. Which is fine with me, but I understand why it bugs other people. :)

    Ahhhh ha ha ha ha ha, I knew it'd happen! :lol 

    I'll grab one if I see it for a vaguely sane price like I did with ConvoyShoe and MegaShoe, since I find the mold charming.

    Gotta love Takara. So next up is Nemesis Prime, Diaclone Magnus colors, clear, red, all black, all yellow, blue, Megatron as Galvatron, clear Megatron, etc right?

    Cool! Maybe since I can't seem to get the money together for the Optimus Prime, maybe I could swing the Ultra Magnus!

    Let me put it this way: they're so cool, my sister wants to steal mine. :D 

    OK ... in reality she want's to steal the packaging.

    I'd say they're good toys, and even better novelty items.

    Transformation is simple, but not boring. They're shell-formers, but they have some charm to them that remind me of early BW stuff. That's probably because they have a concealed blaster made up of two pieces just like the Machine Wars jets. They have good articulation as well. Add to that the cool-as-hell packaging, and it's a winner in my book.

    On Magnus though, I'm undecided. It's the third use of the mold in just a few months. But I almost pre-ordered it.

    Grrrr. [​IMG] Maybe before they do a UM they could make more of the first two? My pre-order with TFsource got canceled because Takara didn't make enough of the dang things. Did this happen with BBTS also? I don't think I can bring myself to pay the current eBay prices.

    Ultra Magnus repainted as Prime? You think that's bad. They even repainted MEGATRON as Prime. Horrors. Same mold with a different head folks. People still bought it.

    It's kind of funny to hear people bitch about the Ultra Magnus repaint, when there's only one mold in this line so far to begin with. :)

    For once I don't care about Prime being repainted into a dumbed down version of Ultra Magnus yet again. They're running shoes. It's just... wow... I can't believe more than 3 people in the world would actually pay for these.

    You know... I wouldn't be as mad at these Ultra Magnus repaints if they have him his own unique head sculpt.

    I have both (origionals) & they are totally worth it. I will be getting MAGNUS as well. These things are so UNIQUE & limited,i saw an OPTIMUS & MEGS go for $200 US on ebay a month ago(wich i preorderd from BBTS for $59 US). Now u would have to pay $70 to order em(but u cant cause they are sold out everywhere). If that is any indication about the value & limited quantities u better not miss out on MAGNUS! Plus the fact i also collect the occasional JORDAN sneaker puts these urban/street themed TFS right up my alley! KEEP EM COMIN! JORDANS,AIR FORCE,ACG.....WHATS NEXT! :D

    I thought the conversation was about plain white repaints of Prime without a shell. That concept was invented during the Dreamwave era.

    Sometimes it's hard for me to believe it's only been that long. Seems like we've had a lot of white Primes since then.

    It's inevitable. Any prime is destined to be repainted as Ultr Magnus and Nemesis.

    Good luck collector people!
