UN Spacy Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Are there any more pics available (without the chest windows open)? D'oh! I guess I'll check bigbot.com and tf2005.com........it seems kinda interesting. I like the sculpt a little more than Armada Prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abombz!! Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 It looks alot like a old Super Sentai giant robot... and a very ugly one at that. But if you look closely... it looks alot like an alternate robot mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDisco Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I think its high time the name Optimus Prime and any likeness to him be retired. C'mon they're freaking robots...can't they design a new leader?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSJ23 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I like the sculpt a little more than Armada Prime. That's not saying much, Before I saw Energon Prime, Armada Prime was the worst looking Prime ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoptimus Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Armada Prime is alot better looking than this one. This is close to the worst ever. Energon is exactly impressing me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 True. But, it doesn't really matter to me. The only Prime I'm truly interested in is the 20th Anniversary one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkullLeaderVF-X Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Wow! It looks like a transformer Sir-Mix-Alot would desing. Now that Prime has alot of junk in his trunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon they're freaking robots...can't they design a new leader?? Hasbro already tried that before and that replacement was Rodimus Prime, an angst-ridden wimp who whines his doubts of leadership that is worse than Shinji Ikari.

Captain of the SDF-1 Macross Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Now thats what i call bad design! It goes to show that toy designers should not take drugs. Since Energon Prime is a bad design (he looks like he drank too much energon), I'm taking the Armada version instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain of the SDF-1 Macross Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Okay, that design is really bad. Is this part of the new Transformers line??? Yes it is. It's called Transformers: Energon, a follow-up sequel to Transformers: Armada. Taking place 10 years after the events of Armada, the Autobots resort to the use of combining while the Decepticons use energon for their weaponry.

Captain of the SDF-1 Macross Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 are those annoying kids dead by this time, or will they be replaced by equally annoying ass kids?? According to various Transformers boards, most say that the Armada kids are gone when the Energon era comes up. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the Autobots will get only ONE human kid. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Many people believe the "Megatron" prototype to be the new Scorponok. I mean, he's green, and a triple-changer, and a scorpion. (Though that is a SAD 3rd mode airplane--there's NO plane-specific parts). A good triple-changer has parts for each mode. Astrotrain had TRAIN parts, and SHUTTLE parts. Blitzwing had PLANE parts, and TANK parts. And they don't share many pieces between modes. This new toy just has a bunch of generic parts roughly shaped into a triangle. No wings, no tail, no engines. More like a fan-based "I fiddled with it until it looked like something" alt mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BYG-DAMN Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Prime looks like a power ranger helmet. I mean, at least Prime has his colors, the tradition is still there, even if he is bad looking. But Megatron, there is not hope for him, that is the worst Megatron ever. Even the Alligator Megatron is better than that mess of a design. You want to see complicated gestalts, go check out Endevor of Microman fame, thats a badass robot made of lots of vehicles. This, it just awful, mean awful. Almost unexcusable. And thanks to his love of publicity, the man to blame is very easy to find. Mr. Arron "Orson" Archer. Somebody find his cell number, its time he was talked to. Crap, Megs is like a design I'd find inspiration for on the floor of a taxi cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain of the SDF-1 Macross Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Dear lord no. Hasbro might screw it all up and call it Leader One. Nah. Ever since Hasbro bought out Tonka, Hasbro has ownership of the Gobots trademark and the character names. With that, they already ridiculed and gloated the Gobots (and related) names anyway. Besides, Leader-One (a Minicon from Transformers: Armada) is now the pimpin' servant boy to Decepticon leader Megatron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSJ23 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Ok, I'm a transformers fan, but with the exception of Unicron (And to some that is still debatable) the new figures have really sucked. I know when you get caught up in fan boyitis you may buy stupid things,but someone please tell me that Energon Scorpinok does look worse than Energon Prime. (because most transfans don't think so) LINK Scopinok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BYG-DAMN Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 So there is hope, if this is Scorponok and not MEg. Actually it really doesn't matter who this is, it sucks a big one. However, now I got the hope that there might be a cool Megatron...hmm, but Prime, ugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I recommend in convincing Hasbro to hire Shouji Kawamori, Big West and Studio Nue to do the new Transformers designs. Once Kawamori and co. comes it, Orson is shown the door (headfirst, of course). Hell, Syd Mead (Turn-A Gundam) can do better designs. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
