Sweet ;D Scoop of the day  From what I read, Hasbro prime will have the battle scarred design. And it seems it may have a mouth beneath that face plate. |

Okay, I just wet myslef again...... Seriously, thanks for the link Ed! That looks divine! Definitely one for the books! Hey Ed, I just noticed, in all of the pics, why, in this one pic, is Prime's tires and fuel tank on the "inside" of the legs? Wierd....

There is a button on the back of the head for talking! When you press the button the jaw moves down....

That is looking to be a very nice toy. Looks great, nice accessories, cool features. Can't wait for December...
One question, I've seen it confirmed that Habro's version will have battle damage, but what about the Takara release?

Seems Takara is going for the Shiny pristine Prime but no official word yet that I have seen.

One question, I've seen it confirmed that Habro's version will have battle damage, but what about the Takara release? Apparently, both will have the pristine minty fresh version, but the Battle Damaged version (still unclear) may only be with the US release. There also some new features on this Prime that may interest you guys. Read on! Here's an excerpt from a Hasbro interview posted at another BBS.

So does anyone know why Primer is used on these pictures? Also, what material do they make the FIRST prototypes from? I have always guessed that they use rapid prototyping machines to make the first runs from digital CAD drawings......so I would have guessed white plastic is the first stage....  |

Yamato uses resin for their prototypes, so does Bandai if I am not mistaken. Maybe Takra uses the same.

Wow, I'd no idea he was that big. Seeing him next to the Dancougar gives me a real sense of scale. He's massive... Cool.  |

 Kinda upsetting our product liability laws ruin any attempts by toy manufacturers to put out good product EVEN THOUGH they may be targeted at an older market.
