    Primus arrived today, and he's fantastic. Huge amounts of detail.

    Can somebody explain to me what all of the details on his planet surface are meant to represent? I'm not too familiar with the planets landmarks, but would like to know what all of the details are.

    Its interesting to note that Takara intended Primus to be a relatively smooth ball until Hasbro requested they added more details, like cities and stuff.

    The big gold cluster of cities is Iacon, capitol of the Autobots or something like that.

    The yellow mushroom is Kaon, the Decepticon capitol.

    I'm no TF comic expert, so Walky of www.shortpacked.com made this last year:

    Tower of Pion??


    I know somebody with that surname - i'm sure she would be utterly impressed if i showed her a nanoscopic little building named after her, which is on a fictional plane.

    Details like that are awsome. I'm glad Hasbro got this done right.

    They already did a green unicron as a lucky draw, so I wouldn't put it past them to do a primus like that too.

    Granted, there's bound to be a gold one, too; which ought to look pretty good for the golden age.

    I just want my primus, I don't care what color. And if he comes with a unicron head all the better.
