Pass... I too would only bite at $25....and only to keep it in Truck mode... I hope people at Hasbro got yelled at and suspended for designing, creating, approving, marketing, pricing and selling this POS.

Re: Ultimate Prime half price at TRU Dec 3 and 4 only

I just picture in my head all these people in a huge boardroom designed like the inside of the Ark, holding up a finished prototype of this thing yelling and cheering "WE DID IT!!! IT'S MAGNIFICENT", in the background some women cries out "I LOVE YOU ULTIMATE OPTIMUS!!!" and then faints.... High fives and chest bumps all around, the head designer grabs the closest woman next to him and just starts making out with her....
Fast forward a few months to see everyone's reaction to it... *queue Price is Right "you lost" sound*

Ah ah yeah i know its...eeer....let's say far from perfect but I think there's some nice customizing potential...or maybe just to keep it in truck mode since ROTF leader prime is too awesome in robot mode

Still not buying it. Buying crappy toys only begets more crappy toys.

This is actually the word from Takara designer Takashi Kunihiro when he was interviewed!!

Interviewer: "Where is the highlight of ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME?"

Takashi Kunihiro: "...Anyway, please enjoy this size..."
