Meh... This is a good chance for those that did not pick these up originally, otherwise an easy pass.

Fail. That Cybertron/GF Prime mold is an awesome toy, with huge guns, a fun base mode and two great robot modes. Crumplezone is fun too, and he's where your precious Animated Grimlock got his underbite.

QFT!

Also, I just can't see the connection between these 2 pieces. If this MUST come then how about pairing it with REPAINTED Wing Saber/Leobreaker instead?

Interesting set. Here's hoping it comes out here in the US, as I'm actually considering getting it. I did own that very same Prime at one point, but sold it. Both would make good kitbash fodder.

Awesome! I'm missing cybertron Prime, so I'm definately getting this. But it looks that it won't to be released in Latin America, there's no spanish on that packaging.

So who else wants to guess that this is Costco's 2pack this year?

It's like giving someone filet mignon and then expecting them to like a Big Mac just as much.

Wasn't Cybertron considered a very good toyline for the most part? Classics is pretty much Cybertron toys without a key gimmick.

Before somebody here moans "But Cybertron was all futuristic vehicles!", almost a third of the line was Earth vehicles. That's essentially why Cybertron redecoed as G1 characters work so well with Classics and the new Universe toys.

And like Foster says, Cybertron Leader class Prime is awesome. One of the best Leader class toys they ever made.

I understand your point and I wasn't trying to attack anyone who likes the Cybertron line......I was just stating my opinion. As for the repaints of Cybertron toys in the Classics line.......I think those are junk too and they have no place in Classics/Universe. (I saw a bunch of them over the weekend picked them up, looked at them, and thought to myself "What the hell is this garbage doing in this line?")

Deceptigtar · 08-19-2008, 12:08 PM

i really dont get this. has nothing to do with universe and its aesthetics. just 2 really bad figures slapped in new packaging. this is just bad and lazy.
