    Very nice. I like the group shot alot, but I still don't see how a box makes it worth paying almost double, even if you are getting it so much earlier. I mean, it's frickin' cardboard. And if you wait long enough, you can pick up Primus for $20 when he goes on clearence.

    but hey, whatever makes you guys happy. :)

    Who is the next biggest Prime in the pic in the center directly below Primuses head. He is really big? Is he Fort Max???

    Hey, it makes ME happy. And when US Primus does get down to $20, you better believe I'm getting another one, fo all the Cyb goodies.

    Nitro, Flame, Live, and Megalo Convoys from Galaxy Force also aren't on the box.

    Here's an idea for Hasbro: One more poster in the US Primus box. One side has the box art from the front of the Primus box. The other side has either this backside illustration or an equivalent by Don Figeroa (maybe dropping Dai Atlas and/or Victory Saber) and adding the missing Convoys noted by Switchblade above (Nitro, Flame, Life, and Megalo) as well as Vector Prime (he is supposed to be one of Primus' original creations, so he deserves to be in the pic with his creator).

    I think that's the best we could hope for as far as "something the Japanese release won't have" that we can expect given this most recent news.

    dunno, I wouldn't mind getting some spare forcechips... heck they could do that AND pass along some other extra pretty cheap, I'd think. *crosses fingers*

    You've made over 850 posts on a Transformers message board and you couldn't identify HIM? A japanese exclusive, I might understand, but MAX??

    That art is soooo gorgeous. I think I'll wait for the US version, but I can't deny I'm tempted.

    Soooo tempted.

    It's not a Convoy picture though. It's a pic of Cybertron leaders.

    This proves we're getting nothing special in it. We saw him at ToyFair, no edited packaging, nothing in plastic on display, and it's the same figure in the Takara box. Not to mention, no one from Hasbro said anything about adding squat during BotCon. It's a rumor, and just tossed around at that.

    And this, this is the mentality that makes it harder and harder each year to find rare figures. When they must clearance an item to sell it because no one bought it at it's normal rate, they've lost money big time, which down the road bites us in the ass. If you actually buy, it does help the economy, not just one's wallet when it's convenient for them.

    Might I add that the people who only buy large figures on clearance help contribute to the fact we probably won't see supreme figures in a couple years.

    Where's TM Primal? I can see the other three significant OpPrimals (original, OpOp & BMac), but not his BWS2 form.

    Ah. That is one HORRID colouring job. Pink and white? It barely resembles TM Primal because of the botched colouring.

    If Megatron has nightmares, I'd imagine it looks like the back of the Primus box.
