I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it has chrome. If it has chrome and better paint aps, it's absolutely bought!!! |
As Jarodimus said, I'm talking about the hypothetical Premium Hasbro release, if this figure ever sees one.
My guess is, for a Hasbro release, they may give him a more significant deco change and release him either as a straight repaint of a new character or as a new "something" Optimus Prime.
eclipse_prime:
all we need now is for him to come with a voice chip that says ill take you all on
Optimus747:
Looks great, I will import one if Hasbro doesn't make one like this!
MrSoundwaveGuy:
Ugh, why'd they have to give him a mouth. Sorry but I can't pay another $45 just for the guns,
EmineX:
Totally excited for this. Looking forward to higher quality photos.

Now if they did that along with other viable changes it would be worth it.
webz:
People, I know you are excited, and all, but people seriously need to watch the f-bombs in here. There are alot of kids here, and beyond that, the ability to type a four letter explicative really doesn't make you seem smarter. I realize I'm not a mod, so I can't do anything, but policing yourselves really is the best policy, anyway.
EvaUnit13:
ugh
FUCK
the mouth does nothing for me since i always thought it looked weird. i hope that the guns impair the look of the tanks in vehicle mode, i come upstairs finishing (almost) my repaint to find this news and i don't want to be tempted again
jazz4ever:
hasbro better send it here...good thing i passed on the first release of this guy

I want his voice clip to be "GIVE ME YOUR FACE!"

alien:
KICKING MY ASS!!! i love it so much....
zark225:
Wow this is really awesome! I've always wondered what a movie Prime with the mouth would look like since getting the first movie Optimus and seeing that the Animated voyager had a mouth. Might get this but i already have the orginal so idk.
grimlock1972:
i think ill hold off on ROTF leader prime until its certain if we will see this here in the US
Rodimus Major:
I was hoping for chrome. Oh well, I'm happy with the first leader Prime. Until/unless they make one with chrome.
Shin Densetsu:
Is it 1 gun or 2? I wish the Leader Prime came with the guns to begin with.
Infernok:
Shite! This must be the 4th leader.... No Starscream!!! This kinda sucks now I gotta buy 2 of the almost same mold.
Sam Witwicky:
Ok I'm so getting him when he comes out.

No... Starscream was confirmed at Botcon. This is quite obviously... the 5th Leader!
blackout501st:
i like the mouth plate better than the regular face. but now i want that gun!!! DAMIT!!!!

let it be so!!
LightningZERO:
Damn it, I want that gun!!! But not the whole figure....
ROTF Sideswipe:
I like that Prime, I might have to wait for this and not get regular Prime.

1 from the looks of it. with the way one of them forms the back half of the gun, it
looks like the look of them as tanks would be compromised
Dran0n:
I think I'll stick with the Prime I have, unless this sees an American release.
Optronix_prime:
Looks like this is gonna be my fourth Leader prime, the selling point is more the face instead of the gun.
(I dont mind Having 4 primes either, Its my favorite toy EVER made so it's all good)
ORIO:
I dig that we're finally getting a prime without the mouthplate. But, I'm just gonna stick with the leader prime I have now
They should make a movie prime with a retractable plate already...

Not into buying Leaders.
Gonna skip it.
netkid:
NEAT! Now I won't mind buying both Leader Primes and doing a head swap to be more movie accurate.
VERY glad I waited to buy any movie toys. I knew they'd be pulling this double-dipping again. Waiting to see everything they will make and then buying what I like the best always works out.
Forest Battle FTW!
Razorwing:
I"ll pass. Already have Leader Prime, don't want waste another $50. Don't like the mouth anyway.. and it's just a gun. Melee FTW.
ROTF Devastator:
I rather buy the first Prime instead of this one.
Don't like the open face and don't care for the gun.
TCJJ:
This... I can understand Premium Prime. He was a changed figure. But this... this is a whole upgrade. It's not a change (well, apart from the head), but it's upgraded. Parts that pretty much did nothing on him now do something, so it hasn't necessarily changed, but upgraded. This is quite the outrage. And you know that there's going to be something with a second gun, because he had two in the movie, this makes one, and so they'll probably make another. I'm wondering if that custom will be well-done (perhaps form part of the figure) and cheap enough to buy two, because I might settle for that, but this is awesome, however, given the circumstances, it's not a very pleasing piece of news.
Lykon:
HOLY SH!T I'm gonna git this one
QuantumShock:
Wow my decision to skip the whole ROTF line is worth it.
Who bloody knows they will retool Megatron.
netkid:
Oh crap! This one STILL has the swords. Did not notice that. Hmm...
Now that to do...swap tanks then?
Optimatron:
If they had given his head a detachable face plate or one that flipped down to reveal his mouth I WOULD have bought this. I think I'll just get the GEARS OF WAR guns instead. If they chrome him up real nice later then I will buy a second leader OP. Untill then I'm good.
webz:
where there is a market, there is a way... Give it a month or so after release, and some knock off company will be selling the guns in a twopack, for $10 or so, so we can keep the faceplate AND have the guns...
Oh, and I almost fell out of my seat laughing at all the people who have said "about time we got a figure without the faceplate." ... I remember in 2006 when we found out Prime didn't have a faceplate, and ya'll whined and swore off the movie, cries of "raped childhood" echoing the hallowed halls of TFW2005.
mrclean08:
Damn you Takara Tomy!
OMEGAPRIME1983:
God damn them and their creativeness!!!!! I so can't afford buying another freakin prime! Guns aren't even all that accurate though, but these are still preliminary prototypes I'm guessin. Crap, they'll probably chrome him too.. Man, I really can't believe they are doin this, what happened to not repleasing the same figures this time around...
The Crazy Collector:
So bought on sight.... Or at least ordered online if Hasbro doesn't do a release stateside....
wchen34:
Damn I love his mouth.
Prime Aspect:
I've been holding off on ROTF leaders, and I only kept my Movie 1 Premium Prime, so I think I'll bite at this one. That way I have movie 1 "Melee" prime with plate and movie 2 "Gun" orime with mouth. Best of both molds.
I hope they do an upgrade to Megatron as well.
Soundout:
I saw this coming. There swapping what they did with the first movie. Last time, First Prime had gun, Second Prime had sword. This time, First Prime had swords, Second Prime had gun. The only difference is this time second Prime has a mouth.
On the swords being on this one, I think they won't be on production. From the looks of it, this is a prototype of the retool. What I'm saying is that they stuck the new head and tanks/gun on the First one. I only think this because the head isn't painted and the gun is hardly painted.
I am glad they did make one with a mouth and a gun.
UTF:
Takara, I am disappoint.
Heat Guy:
Bought on sight, awesome mold just got an upgrade.
LimeWire:
ehrm these are customs oarts i think, gears of war 2, and the parts on his back ar eonly the "Holster" for the Guns!
AnimatedFan:
Great. Just great.
