    Well, recently I got this cool accesory.

    What can I say? I am so happy with it! It makes my Prime look real cool! And a long way better than the Premium release! Since I decide to keep my Leader Prime, this sword was waht I needed.

    The plastic is ahrd and detailed and its point is really sharp. NOw I just need a set of stickers from Reprolabels to give the final touch to my Leader Prime!

    Some pictures!

    Just ordered one from Ebay. That is very cool, and finally decided to drop the money rather than buy premium prime.

    Another pic for those who are interested in getting it. Got mine a few months back and it has been on Prime ever since. Can't go wrong with it.

    I've got one of those. I have it on my First Strike Optimus Prime and I really like it. Though, to be honest, I like my Premium Movie Prime's sword too. I just think that blade looks too tiny on the Leader version of Prime and looks better with the voyager version. I gave my Robo-vision Prime to my sister so I don't know how well it looks on him though... probably just as good as FS Prime, but I like the fact that FS Prime's all red color kind of matches the orange/red used for the Prime Blade. But, like I said, I like the sword on Premium Prime just as much.

    Anyways, enough of my ranting, congrats on a wonderful piece! :thumb

    I think that's the blade that comes with Premium Prime. I have seen it on Ebay several times.

    I was lucky to get my sowrd since I got it for a very few bucks. I remember that this was about $5 to $7 the first time I saw it. These days I ahve seen prices from $14 to $37. I got a really decent deal, I got it for the original price.

    That's the blade that comes with Premium Movie Prime. A lot of foreign sellers seem to be selling it seperatly as it can easily replace the gun (as they're both on a small peg like piece that rotates). I guess that way you don't have to get a whole new toy to get the figure... especially if you're one of the ones who didn't like the Premium Prime's new head mold (like it personally, but that's just me).

    kenm2474 it was thanks to your cool pics that I decided to get the sword.


    unicronhq You can get this cool sword on Ebay. Just try a search for Optimus blade/Optimus sword. Sometimes they take a while to appear.

    You just open the fist and slide the fingers into the grip. Very straightfoward.

    I don't own them but it looks like they slide over the hand of 2007 movie Prime. I don't know if it is a tight fit or not.

    Open Prime's fingers and get the thumb out of the way, slide the rectangular bracket at the base of the blade down over his fingers and into his palm; the bracket forms a 'band' around his hand. Close Prime's fingers to secure the blade.

    I want two for my 2007 voyager Prime. I could make some kick ass fight scenes with him and ROTF voyager Megs.
