    I've always loved fire trucks, so that's my choice.

    Especially in Cybertron/GF. When a friend of mine first saw his alt mode, she said something like "That is the most evil fire truck I have EVER seen."

    A battleship would be cool.

    Primal... would be a Cybertronian F-15. (Not the Cybertronian Seekers)

    primal? leoprime. It just looks more heroic with the red chest plate.

    Prime? Classics prime was perfect. despite owning some of the larger primes. I think this one nails prime attitude. The arm shields have their uses in play. But I mostly love the figure above my others for great articulation and those con crushing feet treads.

    Anything that resembles a truck, Prime has always been a sort of truck. Either a Semo-truck or a Firetruck, a tank-truck fusion isn't a bad idea ether.

    Definately his War Within incarnation was the best of the lot.

    You know what, I think I'll vote the t.rex/dragon for Primal, just like I want Beast Megs to be a gorilla.

    Why? Well, let's just say that every time I see King Kong, I wish the tyrannosaur had won...

    Primal: silverback gorilla...with rabies, and cancer, and glasses.

    Prime: I like the 07 movie look. Aside from that, Cybertron Prime's flight mode was pretty cool in a ghettofabulous way.

    I, too, think his Cyb/GF incarnation's badass.

    Just posted one related to Meg, I'll do for OP as well.

    I'll admit that G1 still engraves me of what characters should be. OP should be a trailer truck first (the best is to feature a trailer that transform into a mobile station); if not, a firefighter truck will be ok. But the thing about OP is whether or not that he should be combine with other Autobots such is in the Japanese animate series, I think not.

    Hmm, I gotta go with a fire truck. It is the most heroic of his forms(however few they have been). I have really enjoying the combining aspects in recent years. It emphasizes teamwork(to me) and just generally expands on the play value. Perfect example: RiD Omega Prime. However on the flip side, it has detracted from the play value (most of the Armada, and a few of Energon Powerlinkers)

    That's where I keep my cannon!

    I personally want to see something new for Prime just because MEgs has gone through so many different incarnations while Prime has always stayed a red truck of some sort. I'm not saying he should be something totally off-the-wall - like a dune buggy or a flying squirrel - but just something else, maybe some military vehicle, a giant missile launcher. Or something. I'm just sick of a semi/fire-truck.

    Prime = Trukk Primal = Munky. The way it always should be.

    Covoys can be just about anything.

    Prime is a semi truck, Primal is a gorilla. Besides, something in the name "Primal" sounds monkey-ish. The bat wouldn't have worked for me. How intimidating is that?!

    Gator Megs "You're a Maximal, thus you are a fool, Primal; yeeeeessssss."
    Bat Primal "Well that's just Prime *SQUEEEEEEEEEEE*!!!"

    Prime...I really liked the Peterbilt in the 07 movie, and his Animated firetruck is pretty cool as well.

    Primal...gotta go with the Munky. Big Convoy is pretty cool as well, but he's not quite the same character...right (never bothered getting too familiar with the japanese continuities)?
