    Once again I am left disappointed. How is it they can come up with this shit and think it looks acceptable.

    "hmmm...lets just take the trailer and have flip inside out with some paint apps and throw it on his back."

    This is a huge let down.

    I'll probably end up liking the Cyberverse version better.

    The annoying thing is why did they chose this movie to screw up? Forget about the kids and produce a quality figure. THEN create a new line devoted to simpler versions. I can hear my ROTF Leader Prime laughing from my bedroom he's happy he's not being replaced by TinkerBell Prime (had to pitch a joke too).

    Final Fantasy Power Rangers Prime Ultra Star Attack!!

    Oh man this looks like a clearance buy and then only to be displayed in vehicle mode...

    If the RPM line comes out with a trailer, then maybe I'll just get that instead. Horrendous combined mode.

    ok...what im seeing, the trailer has clip on armor pieces for arms and some shoulder and torso pieces, and primes legs slide right into the trailers legs.

    this will not be purchased at full price. a $30 clearance is where ill be looking unless there is some revelation later about it. there is just TONS of mech tek points all over it though...im sure that will look splendid ;)

    After the travesty of ROTF Devastator did anyone think that a $80+ combiner(kinda) from the movie line would be any good?

    Anyone else think it's strange that ROTF leader Prime was a masterpiece, but both DOTM Prime figures we've seen so far, seem to be crap? I dun' get it.

    This is exactly what I was expecting we would get. I think kids will have lots of fun with it, and I kinda like it too. If only the arms were not so lazy.

    Seriously guys, having seen Ultimate BB and Devastator, did you really expect Buster Prime (minus mech alive and electronics to save up space for hiding the backpack better) + fully articulated powermaster armor with lots of detail and stuff? Oh really?

    lol, this thing is funny bad. Just helps solidify my opinion that only the cons are going to be worth while this time around, with very few autobot gems.

    Looks to me it could have been better but it needed 10+ mech-tech ports.
    The gimmick won out again over cool design.

    I have to say as a collector who is particularly a fan of Prime, and am out to collect as many versions of him as I can, and like every Prime I own to INCLUDE all 4 previous movie incarnations, I am dissapointed by the pics of this toy. I just cant stop staring at the robot mode arms, they are killing it for me, the combined mode isnt doing much to help either, and the price point just finished off the kill.
    As I did with Devastator, if I find him on clearance I'll get it, but I'm not paying full price for that.

    Seriously... after ROTF Prime and Buster Prime... WHAT THE FUCK is that???? $80 pile of crap!

    I bet they dumbed him down so much because kids complained that ROTF Prime was too complicated...
