Buster Optimus Prime

i will DEFINITELY bite on this if it goes Hasbro way

Damn, it is just some new parts after all. Not interested.

Pretty sweet..I love the ROTF Prime mold, and I was hoping for a movie Prime toy with a face..seems I'm getting exactly what I wanted. The best movie mold, with the coolest face, added guns AND a possibility of a better paintjob. Yessss.

Unbelievable, finally got my own DA!

hope he has some battle damaged paint.

If it has some improved paint apps then I could be persuaded to pay out for an import but if it's just the new head & gun then I'll still be without a movie Prime in my collection.

WTF? Optimus in battle mode and the mouth is exposed?!!!! They are really sucking fanboys into being broke buy buying multiple version of LC ROTF Optimus Prime. I'm betting the next one will be the one with JETFIRE PARTS which you can snap-on just like the movie and next will be the one with the parachute, next will be battle damage with missing tooth and then we get premiums by Hasbro and then premiums by Takara with Chrome parts and then theres nightwatch Optimus and then Ultra Magnus version of this mold and then lucky draw version in gold and then fans will just keep on spending and spending. LETS BUY ALL AND HELP THE ECONOMY!

This makes me glad I held off on ROTF Leader Prime! Although I just saw at Denden town today a Leader Prime combined with Jetfire in the display case, though it wasn't for sale...maybe it was a custom? In any case, I'll get this new Leader Prime instead.

Really good idea. But that new head is angering me. Would bite on a hasbro version that lacked the mouth mold.

It is nice to see more retools done instead of straight repaints for future toys.

Great Post. The only problem I have with that many repaints is that only collectors buy them. Normal people only will by the one version they can find.

You forgot movie Leader Nemesis Prime. Black, Grey, Teal, with Red Windows. How Awesome would that be?

All Prime toys have got the faceplate, I am only happy that there is finally one coming without one.

If you don't like the face, you could also try to find the buster add-on later on in the aftermarket, or maybe buy the FP Gear Of War 2 set, which supposedly will feature a similar gun? That way you will get a plated Prime WITH all the added coolness.

Unbelievable, finally got my own DA!

I laugh at folks who bought Leader Prime without even so much as thinking a better/upgraded version wouldn't come down the road and are now sorely disappointed it's happened at last.

Didn't the first movie line teach you people ANYTHING? Frankly I'm not putting money down on a Prime until the NEXT movie's toys hit the shelves. Why? ROTF Prime is leaps and bounds better than one for the first movie. I'll bet my bottom dollar the one for the third movie will be even better yet. And when that rolls around, I wouldn't have a chance in hell of getting rid of my ROTF Prime and make back what I paid for it. And even if I'm wrong, these toys are produced in such staggering amounts that ROTF Prime won't be hard to find down the road at all, I'm sure.

..That said, Buster Prime looks kinda neat. I'm sure it'll make its way over to us eventually. What I REALLY want to see is a Prime with Jetfire's armor/parts that's more accurate to what we saw on the big screen.
