    I want this so hard, but I don't think I can budget it in...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but he just has the regular gas tanks, right? Not the ones that come off to form the blaster?

    Correct.

    Striker guns can't mount on the Buster guns.

    This was the figure that I had to let the preorder go. I just don't have the money for him like I thought I wld have. It sucks , but it came down to either him or MP Soundwave. G1 will always win though.

    He does look pretty sweet. I'm really digging the box as it looks a bit more Masterpiece than regular release. The bot looks like he freaking stepped off the screen and that is what I love.

    If they don't change the LED to blue (I really doubt they will), it is a 5-10 minute procedure. I've change about 15 of them since Leader Prime came out. It's relatively east if you have a soldering iron.

    Yeah, what is that about? Buster Prime came with painted hands. This guy has a few more paint apps, such as the chest headlights, but they can't paint the hands? Was it a trade off or something?

    Yeeeeeessssssss. This bad boy makes Leader Prime #12 for me.

    You don't get much paint for $150 these days.

    The bright Buster colors don't do it for me. I prefer the original muted/darker red and blue.

    The one in this attachment is custom painted by Cooljazcustoms.

    I like having both decos, although the darker works better for this mold, but I am a sucker for screen accuracy. Speaking of which, savio, do you still make those hip pieces? I may need some more.

    No hurry, but I am interested when you get around to making them again.

    The Ironhide in one of the pictures interests me... But the Prime is nice too.

    The differences are minimal but there are still 2 things that are holding me to order it now..

    1) My desire to attach my shiny Nightwatch jetwing backpack to it. I will investigate minor modding or parts swapping (stressing the word minor here).

    2) It has the word Series and 01 in its name. If say Brawl or Sentinel are added to make it a proper series, I will be a happy panda.

    Ive already got myself more than enough Movie 2- Prime Leader class figs that I can shake a stick at. Buster 2-pack with Jetfire, Regular Hasbro, Black amazon Japan DVD exclusive, Family Mart Japan Crystal, Regular Striker Prime, Black-teal Jetpack Nightwatch Prime repaint, and Takara's regular ver. That's like, what? 5 or 6 versions of the SAME mould. While this incarnation is nice, I've got better ideas / wants/ priorities to spend my money on... with Encore Fortress Maximus being top of my list.
