    Takara has added some new pages and info to their website. First they have updated their Galaxy Force Website with a new Primus Campaign.

    Their G1 Website has changed to advertise the Beast Wars Reborn set, which has it's own page Here. they have also added a product page for Primus seen Here.

    Thanks to Autobase Aichi for the news.

    Smart marketing by Takara to tie Primus in with G1 with the box and the website. It *is* the first official Planet Seibertron ever made. I think there was a missed opportunity to market Unicron this way as well.

    Agreed, Perhaps too much was made of Armada/Energon Unicron bonding with Minicons. Anyway, great pictures at Takara's site. Long live CONBOY! :)  Primus is a great idea, an update to not only GF/CYB collections but G1 as well. :rock

    While I think it's a great idea tying him to G1, I'm still not feeling that box. The CGI artwork doesn't mesh well with the old-school layout. Still better than the GF boxes.. When is the Tak Primus released again?

    I'm not feeling it either, Fret. Especially at the price.

    I was on the Primus page and clicked next and it showed Pepsi Prime in the fridge. :lol  Then he jumped out to save us from thirst. That rules!
