    Can't wait to see a Bruticus made out of Barricade and four different helicopters.

    only a touch. :)  Considering the series that spawned him, Bendy Prime is surprisingly decent.

    Given the talk regarding his cybertron key, I take it this version omits his "diet targetmaster" partner?

    Wow, I can't believe we're getting Bendy Prime again... though at this point the name's hardly fitting, we've got Primes that are just as articulate and moreso now. Still, as much as I'm a sucker for the mold, I dont know if I can get it for the 5th time...

    ...

    On second thought I probably can.

    That said, I love the Combaticon theory. That dollar sign and color scheme scream Swindle since I cant see him as a tank, but Blast Off can be a tank name, too, and then we wont have two copters sharing a color scheme.

    The name on that Prime auction is confusing.


    Is the Prime repaint supposed to be for Universe or Animated?

    No. The mould is good, and fun. The colours are traditional Prime colours. A little bland but there's no reason to hate them.

    I might get him.

    I like the Whirl, will probably get it at retail. I just hope they get rid of the 'con symbol.

    If its the same as the Cybertron version then the key replaces Overrun.

    I think he'll look fine along with my original Armada one plus the deluxe Nemesis. It will mean an import though as we'll never see him in the UK I'd imagine.

    red windows and red energon weapons....i love them. And reverb and gunbarrell have blue accessories....I'm hoping we get two more of each.

    What this thread needs is more torso.

    Not Top Spin, but that's what I thought when I saw the red Energon weapon.

    Whirl and Sandstorm look good. Yet another Bendy Prime? Okay, but I hope they don't put the forearms backward again. I'm getting tired of the fix. :lol

    the Sandstorm deco isn't really working for me, but i dig the Whirl one. It's really too bad they did the molded emblems in A/E/C since it makes it hard to switch molds factions.
    yeah (and there had been before him), Bendy Prime get's a lot of love, but i honestly think 75% of it is just he was SOOOO much better than any other Armada mold. but he still had tacky painted windows, a not very realistic alt mode and kind of simian proportions. and he was still far and away the best Prime for 3 years.

    If this is all true, then I can go get the TFU Barricade at KB's to make another combiner. Too bad we already have an Onslaught, though. -_-

    Nice, but I would prefer a Bruticus set in the style of that Devastator giftset.

    Yes... there are 10 Sabers, but at least 3 come from a remold. OP wins, now there are like 13 variants or more.

    Nice! Bendy Prime is mine since I don't own that mold and this is the best deco so far, sandstorm will be mine too.

    All three look nice ... but I don't think I like the copters as Sandstorm and Whirl. As Vortex and Swindle, may be.
