    Of course not. I only saw negative responses and I wonder why.
    (It's just that I'm not really interested in getting it, not because of the criticism.)

    Honestly don't understand why people would actively hate on this, if you don't want it, don't buy it :lol 
    I for one, am intrigued, I kind of would like to hope this would be available even internationally, but
    probably not, so I'll just have to pay a disgusting shipping markup to ship from Amazon US to Japan.

    The only thing I am iffy on, is that if it is an ER Prime retool, and given the way the front of the truck transforms on ER Prime,
    this could end up with a really ugly backpack/be a borderline shell-former. Since they're calling it a "licensed Volvo truck" though,
    I guess maybe it will be 80%+ retool ala Ectotron or Gigawatt...

    Either way, I can't think of any reason not to buy this.
    I know it would never happen, but maybe some 3P company could make a "Bezos-tron" for the poor
    haggard, underpaid delivery bot Amazon Prime to fight.

    Imagine an image of a broken down Volvo Amazon Prime Truck spilling hundreds of these Amazon Primes (pun intended)

    Heh. My reaction too, although I am curious what he looks like.

    My experience with Amazon is mixed. I actually am a Prime member and do quite like their service.

    On the other hand I used to also work for them in their Tilbury branch… and they are demanding employers and they made me (and plenty others) redundant for not making their ‘parcel wrapping quotas’. (They are pretty strict.)

    With all the comments - Can someone please link an actual link to this item or story & not just a cut & paste? As much as this would be novel, to me - this right now is a much ado w/o a proven existence...THANKS!

    That was an initial thought of mine as well, but neither of them come with a matrix. ER Prime is the most logical source mold based on the description

    I'd put it in the same category as T-Wrecks.

    That is "Any goddamn day now..."

    Between those two and the JP crossover that has been teased, and Origin Bumblebee, it seems like were due for a drop of exclusives for sure

    Especially since they're all retailer exclusives.

    You've got Buzzworthy, Road Rage, T-Wrecks at Target. Amazon Prime. We've got Draculus and JP.

    There's plenty of Target/Amazon/Pulse exclusives that they could do one big bomb drop if they wanted.

    Link was in the Australian leaks thread months ago

    www.amazon.de/dp/B08YJH1596 has the version of the text I used, it varies slightly on other sites - change the .de to match your local amazon address

    JTPrime17 is averse to posting links due to a fear of Hasbro plugging their holes, but if he says something his word is good based on past form

    If I'd known the thread was going to get this salty, I'd've brought tequila and limes.

    Retool of the Earthrise Quintesson Judge cage?

    That'd be truly bittersweet if this Amazon Prime Volvo retool gets a later repaint into a Selects or Legacy Laser Prime (if longnose Volvo) or (if shortnose Volvo) re-retool & repaint into a better Argosy AoE Galvatron.

    I think that this is going to be a case of "I did not expect that. But I was expecting not to expect something so it doesn't count."

    I think that, as soon as it's actually revealed in Full, it will impress us all.

    i cannot believe there are actually people going "well you buy from amazon and other big companies so BLEH you can't criticize amazon!!!"

    yessirree, we all asked to be born into this world that jeff bezos, walt disney and the walmart family (the waltons?) took over and have bought out most of. because to survive in the modern world you can definitely avoid buying from the 6 billionaires that own every fucking company, including the biggest 3 in the world. definitely as easy as just not buying from them, not like they're notorious for ruthless business tactics and eliminating small businesses so that nobody has options *but* them.

    I'm considering getting it just for the lulz and then finding something creative to do with it during our inevitable next strike. :) 

    I don't know, having a custom union bot fight it or something. :)

    Amazon might be the devil incarnated but if this is the most excellent Earthrise mold retooled I'm gonna sell my soul to Satan (Amazon) and get it, if it is also a licensed Volvo alt mode my swedish ethnicity demands it of me that I buy it.

    just have the Decepticons rise up against it and smash it’s face in. It would be in character considering their origins.

    It's more likely to be the Earthrise mold and not the Siege one since it comes with a trailer and matrix
