    I want to know if Hasbro finally stuck in the damn BLUE lights for his eyes and chest. I just do not understand why they advertise the blue lights on the back, but have not included them in ANY of the Primes.

    There was already a videoclip of Premium Prime showing his new features. He still has the yellow lights I'm afraid.

    I'm curious if TakTomy will change it up for their release.

    Is it just me, or does Premium Prime look more like a robot rabbit and less like the movie? I am not sold on this figure and will be sticking with my original as I prefer the head from this mold. I may try to find the sword in a separate purchase. I am still in the air about Megs. I will have to see him in person to make the proper judgment.

    That is just what hasbro deserves for releasing TWO of the same figure designed to be the same character too (IE: NOT a different paint job such as Night Watch Prime)

    Yeah, I was really disappointed when they turned out to be yellow on the original, and even more disappointed to find out that they are still yellow on the Premium version. I never understood the yellow in the first place...

    Yeah, screwing over the retail stores to get back at Hasbro really makes a whole lot of sense...

    For people who already have both the firsts Prime and Megs, would these two figures be worth while getting?

    Need an honest opinion because these two figures are very tempting. Huwaaaa...

    i personally am going to pass on the prime just because of owning the 1st edition one plus the night watch version...cannot justify 3 of these things,

    the megatron one i am going back on forth on getting...i have the 1st edition one but way way like the new colors on the premium version.
