now here's the story:
i simply didn't have the 30 pounds (35 to be percise) when the original Armada Prime came out, and although later as the series wound down and there were just the cabin parts for 10 pounds, i didn't want that. I wanted the whole thing, trailer & all or nothing.
Unfortunetly i missed the oppotunity due to money restraints but yesterday as i popped in woolies for an ice-cream i decided to see what thet had in TF toys (Usually lots of armada unicon battle toys ie repaints).
And they had loads of primes! BUT!!! they were very heavily reduced from 28 pounds to just 10! I had to get it! It wasn't just an oppotunity it was a bargain! I don't know if there just trying to get rid of the stock or because the toy line is now getting old, probablly both. But it was good news for me.
I really really like normal mode prime, i think it's cos of the colours, i just oive that shade of blue on him. If i'm honest and i had of got the original red, blue etc, i'm not sure i would've been so fond of it(?)
The matrix in the chest is a nice touch and the toy actually has pretty good articulation and is quite poseable! Cool "stacks = gun" idea.
Coroana sparkplug is very cool, and after some reasearch i found there's alot more detail on the car than normal sparkplug and subtle changes. And i love the gold! Also i like the trick with his head in transformation to bot rather than the usual mini-con antics of just pulling arms and legs out and that's it - transformed.
Like the base but haven't got batteries yet for the base to change automatically. Might try and see if i got some old ones that will do the job..
Not to keen on the super prime mode as he's restricted in pose and i'm not to keen on the head being THAT far back. Not really keren on that mode.
Mostly have him combined with Armada Jetfire (which is why i wanted Prime in the first place. Like that mode.
