    eeesh, those hands sticking up in the back for combine mode is going to take a bit of getting used to. :/

    Think this would've looked better in Energon colors but that aside, it looks like a decent figure. Thanks for the reviews guys! Glad it's a rather large voyager. Is it bigger than FOC Soundwave?

    Stickers? STICKERS!? No. Bad. Paint your damn toys!

    Anyway, it's not nearly as terribad as the original reveal made it look...but it's still not as good as the original Classics Prime.

    Will buy him since BBTS bundles him with Silverbolt, and I won't be dissapointed that I own him. But no bundle...probably no buy.

    The PCC's were an ugly stepping stone to this line, these look so much better designed.

    It appears as if we've gone from "fatimus prime", to "flatimus prime"

    I could get over the giant arms, but that lack of depth on the whole of the front in bot mode just looks really weird on Optimus, it will probably look better on motormaster, but unless we get a confirmation on masquerade Ill just wait for motormaster

    Thanks for the review guys!

    Well yeah he is a little flat but I love him. He was not intended to be prime I heard. I hear it was just hasbro having a bit of fun to give us a nice new prime. He is a lovely toy

    The Takara version will probably fix the very plain deco.

    I don't like his leg ratchets. Its either straight down or so far apart. Other than that its an ok mold. A bit brawny for Prime but its ok. Its amazing how he has three sets of windshields.

    Whats funny to me is his combiner head is more in proportion with his robot body then the actual head, which just comes off to me as way too tiny.

    I kinda feel the same.
    To me, this almost feels like a toy that could have come out in the late 80s early 90s, which is fine for the type who want that, but this looks like a retro toy in all the ways that really doesn't appeal to me, personally.

    Peaugh, just love your review of combiner wars prime...simple, to the point, really just a good solid review.

    It seemed like lately all I have been seeing is ton of reviews that just start with robot mode (because that's how the toys are packaged) and for some reason just kinda took something away from the whole review experience for me. Starting off with vehicle mode in your review just seems so much refreshing all of the sudden. Thanks for doing that.

    But what really made your review so awesome is the actual combining of all the toys! That was so cool! I just kept thing to my self; "all these other reviewers have reviewed these figures now, isn't it time for a full combined review?" So thank you for showing us the end result. That was awesome!

    I am thank full to everyone for getting these reviews out...and so quickly over the past weekend...on these highly anticipated toys. Everyone has done such a great job.

    Now favor Peaugh, and normally I would never ask this of any reviewer because I typically hate long segments of "size comparisons". I can't think of when I have asked for a size comparison of a figure but this one is specific.
    Can you show us a size comparison of this new combiner Ultra-Prime against the WFC Bruticus?

    Also some thoughts of how much better the new Ultra-Prime is against the old Bruticus. Also images of poses of Ultra-Prime.

    Thanks!
