One can only hope. Not so sure I'd buy the Megatron (I'm kind of eh on his Cybertronian form), but I would definently pick up the Deluxe Earth Mode Prime... honestly, of the four Prime modes, he's my favorite... I like him more than the almighty Voyager Prime... just something about all that cool packed into him. But that blasted battle damage ruins what is otherwise an awesome figure for me... and I have absolutely no skills when it comes to painting anything.

Too bad - would've been a great opportunity for non-damage-paint versions. I guess this is an indicator of overstock/repackage/something. I'd hate to think they would produce a new bunch of older toys without changing some tiny thing.

How the Animated toy line REALLY came to an end

Saw the 2 packs by the shitloads in the local TRU here. LIke what Feralstorm said, this is a missed opportunity. The Prime should have the battle damage removed.

So the Prime in the new 2 pack is the one from the first 2 pack? Awesome. I've been wanting that Prime. I can also get Black Arachnia at the same time.

Hello All!

Can't wait to have all of these! Shockwave and Skywarp will be very nice to see, and the 2 packs tie the characters together the same way as the cartoon episode-suggested Bios. I have one little complaint- Fusion cannons do not slice! I know, it is a minor pick. If Megatron had sliced through the ship's hull with his sword or if Megatron had blasted his way in with his Fusion Cannon, the Bio would have been a bit more consistent with the weapon's damage. A kid will not notice as he/she opens the pack- GIMME THE TOYS!

i guess they are just adding a sku to move figures a little quicker. or repackaging to hang on pegs makes it easier to get into more stores.

i hope they arent producing more primes with those paint apps. i've never heard anyone say that they liked the battle damage. but i think i understand why they did it. if someone bought a properly painted deluxe earthmode optimus and liked it. they would buy voyager prime and say what the hell? this thing is just a little bigger and isnt as poseable. i really like the the deluxe mold but i think it wont happen for a while. it will slide out when the voyager mold isnt on shelves. it isnt that one is better than the other, just too similar.

god that battle damge looks stupid though. ruins a really good toy.

i have all the animated primes. voyager is pretty poseable as in you can achieve good poses but no matter how you pose his legs he'll stand with his feet both flat on the ground like you didnt do anything.

the deluxes are scary poseable. no matter how you pose them they look very human and seem to have potential like they are frozen in motion. and i cant think of another figure i can say that about.

i like them all. voyager looks the best but the deluxe is more fun to play with.

Both of these will be mine. (Skywarp + Shockwave) I hate the waiting. There isnt going to be any new animated action out for a while. Just got the wave 4 goodness this past weekend, and I'm not into the universe2.0 stuff.


One way or another, you will yield on bended knee, to the power of my master.
