You might regret it. He's not a good figure. Pity that Hasbro didn't see fit to bring back, oh, say, Alternators as a collector's line instead of the Titaniums. Still, I wont complain too much. I simply shan't buy them

I heard of the floppiness issues, was it really that bad ?

He does have a floppiness which keeps him from having a lot of poses that hold. He is a very heavy figure. I do like his sculpt, and he has enough contrapposto in his poses that he still can look dynamic.
Even if you just pose him in a soldier stance he looks decent to me.

The floppiness ain't all that bad. Its the paint chips that sucks!. Should have been a Henkei Voyager.

I think the QC overall wasn't that great on Prime, but I still really like the figure. Mine wasn't too floppy (no moreso than the rest of Titanium) but there are some balance issues. On mine the two front halves of the cab are painted a slightly different red, which isn't terrible...but now it's always the first thing I see. I wouldn't mind a Henkei/Universe/Classics version of the design, especially if it fixed the Titanium's issues and made a slightly more complex transformation.

I would love to have a Classics version. I don't mind the loss of Diecast if they can make a great figure.

Other than the Masterpiece series, I believe this is the only Transformers series worth collecting. Love the die-cast content; the simple but well sculpted transformations. These figures fit really well with my collection focus. In essence, this is how the G1 transformers would look had they been released today and not some 20 years ago. They do have their flaws, but really what toy doesn't? I'm picking these up if I come across them.

Despite their flaws, I still happily collect the 6" Titanium TFs, and am always glad to hear when the occasional new ones are released.
I have the regular version of WWI Prime, but this new one looks nice enough to justify getting. I am also looking forward to the Thrust repaint of Starscream, and any other future WWI Seekers as well. Those have been some of my favorites.

I saw them in person. I am not keen on them so much. I prefer the OG paint on the WWI prime.

I got Hot Zone because he looks like a Classic Transformer. I also kind of like having some diecast metal in a figure.
