    Megatron is indeed one per case. A case contains three Primes and one Meg's.

    Haven't opened up my Prime yet, have opened 1 of all the others I've found though and love them. Kinda waiting to see if a bigger/more detailed prime is released before deciding to open him.

    Axisvega: I ended up snagging a Prime. He's growing on me. The backpack doesn't seem so bad in person, the blue forearms and lack of red on his chest don't regsiter so much when I'm playing around with him. Also, if he holds his sword upside down, and you flip his hand up into it's truck mode position, it resembles his show armblades enough to be passable. Sadly there's nothing redeemable about that gun.

    Transformation wise I think he's satisfying, although I sometimes have a little trouble getting his arms aligned right for truck mode, and getting his chest to firmly lock into place in robot mode. I recommend him, but hopefully for less than $26 if you can manage.

    I have the RiD Prime. Honestly, I think he's great save the extremely stupid powerizer weapon. I haven't done any of the coloring mods to him yet, but plan too. He's a decently accurate representation. I don't have the FE one, and the RiD honestly doesn't look as good in bot mode, but bang for the buck, he fits my shelf fine. Actually, his truck mode is a little more screen accurate than the FE, IMO. I'd recommend him, especially if you can get him at Target (I got mine for 20.99).

    Also, I picked up WJ from the Windsor Target earlier today. They had one CJ and BBs galore; no Soundwave OR Voyagers (have to ask for them and you may get slack re: the street date). As others have said, WJ is glorious. Love the bot mod even though the swords are a little short. I did notice one thing though: everyone is bashing the CJ RiD cover art (depicting him with his tri-blaster arm cannon) as inaccurate to the toy... but NO ONE that I've seen has mentioned the same about WJ...

    Just picked up prime at the orange Target. They had a few more in back, as well as deluxes, you just have to ask. :)  prime doesn't look nearly as bed as pictures make him appear. I still want a first edition, tho.

    Apparently someone did, as I went there 8:30 last night, and there were two Primes on the shelf. I also bought the last Wheeljack, so nothing but Bumblebees left. SHELFWARMER!
