    Primus will be the expensive TF that I buy that will probably never be transformed out of his alt mode :p

    Where's the best place to buy or preorder Primus?

    Both Hasbro and Takara Primus came packaged in robot form. I would expect this to be the same. Hopefully it comes with that cool picture of all the primes on the back of the box.

    That Primus looks Terrible. Plus he wouldn't go well with the new Unicron at all as they've managed to reduce his G1-accuracy by about 70%.
    Prowl looks pretty sweet though.

    Neither. Primus is identical to Rodimus Prime in G1 so... Yeah.

    thinking about this.... I wouldn't be surprised if the Dreadwind/Smokescreen(Jumper) set was released by Hasbro in the West, surely they designed it with this in mind, I'm gonna bank on that! Either that or it will be in the BW2 colours, also not too shabby.

    For a while now ROTF Mindwipe and Skystalker have reminded me of the G2 Dreadwing and Smokescreen set I'm surprised none of the many talented kitbashers in our Radicons section hadn't done this yet or even maybe a BW2 BB & Starscream version :) 
    I've been thinking of doing a BW2 inspired set especially now.

    I would love to get that Primus and Prowl but I bet the price will scare me off. :(

    That Prowl looks great. The Mindwipe repaint is interesting, as well, but I'll be referring to the Skystalker one as Smokejumper regardless of what the packaging may say. As far as I'm concerned, if it ain't the Autobot's diversionary tactician then it ain't Smokescreen.

    Oh damn it. I've been waiting on a Dreadwing/Smokescreen homage for years now, instead of just the endless repaints. Now they finally do it with the perfect molds, and it's a Japanese con exclusive? :banghead: 

    Primus looks pretty cool, but I don't dig the blue hands and cannons, and I like the colorscheme of the original version just a bit better.

    Well, there is this pretty cool tidbit on the TFWiki about that:

    Give me Primus! I wonder if he's going to be in the cool GalaxyForce type box that I have or something completely different. Are those movie EZ's different than the US release?

    Primus' deco looks amazing. It's a shame I super duper don't care for that mold.

    The white Prowl was one of the original concepts, it should have seen a wide release through a repaint instead of the STUPID animated repaints we saw.

    Japan's jumped on the G2 bandwagon and I'm not complaining. I'm on the fence about Prowl, but I might just have to pick up the repainted Primus. And I'm always pumped about more Legends stuff. This'll be the first time I pick up an TFA Bumblebee redeco.

    From the pics, it looks like Brawl and Scorponok may have brighter paint apps. But from these scans you really can't be sure. They might just be releasing them in this wave since Japan never got Brawl, Scorponok and Bonecrusher with their movie 1 EZ collection.

    Man I want that Prowl. I'll even pay the $100+ that it will most likely cost on the secondary market.

    I'm on the fench about Primus, leaning toward buying.
