Ultimate Prime toy revealed; spoilers, it sucks.

[138 Scourge]

Yeah, I sort of saw the trailer. Just couldn't tell what the hell was happening in it, was all.

[Sparky Prime]

(And you can see him just kind of flomp them onto the ground not unlike Jetfire's parts in ROTF. God damn do I hate this about the films--nothing stays intact for more than two seconds without blowing up or falling apart.)

Given he's flying into a huge battle in that scene, I'd have to guess that's towards the end of the film. For all we know he could use his trailer/wings a great deal in the movie with it finally getting destroyed at the end.

Did none of you watch the Superbowl trailer? He's got them on in the last bit. (And you can see him just kind of flomp them onto the ground not unlike Jetfire's parts in ROTF. God damn do I hate this about the films--nothing stays intact for more than two seconds without blowing up or falling apart.)

Oh I saw that bit, I just naturally assumed it was Jetfire's corpse-suit in that scene. I'ma have to rewatch it now.

[Onslaught Six]

I would assume he wouldn't continue to use the corpsesuit, given that parts of it were obviously damaged and all at the end of ROTF.

Unfortunately, I know how Bay structures his films so I much doubt it. Everybody in the film gets *one* setpiece. Everything cool in the movies shows up 'exactly once.' (Even more unfortunately, you can see this pattern in other blockbuster movies. The alien in Independence Day only gets one cool scene.)

Frankly, I'd have preferred if they revisited the Powermaster Prime design, and use the truck cab/robot as the torso only, rather than encasing the arms and legs in the trailer suit. With the materials and design engineering today, we ought to be able to see some nifty articulation and gimmicks updated into old Powermaster design scheme.

Would also have been interesting to see how HA Commanders and mech tech could have been incorporated into the trailer base mode.

Ah well. One can only dream...

[JediTricks]

Wow, that looks quite lousy.

[Dominic]

Lewis got one. I will hopefully have a chance to fiddle with it soonish.

I can't wait. And keep in mind the price when you are.

[Dominic]

It is what, an $80 toy?

Dom
-hopes it at least displays well.

It is $80, and I thought it didn't display well at Botcon, except in truck mode. The wings look silly, and the limbs don't fit the tiny torso and head, and there's not enough going on. But I didn't get to take it out and change the pose or anything, so you'll have to let us know.
