Transformers Cybertron Supreme Class Cybertron Primus Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I first saw the advertisment for the Primus action figure, I absolutely had to get it. For one thing, a toy for Primus has never (ever!) been released, since Transformers first started in the 80s. I've waited over two decades for this toy to be released. The almighty creator of Transformers, how could I pass him up?!
Primus stands relatively tall, about nearly 12 inches in height. It's probably the the largest Transformer I own (and probably the largest, that you'll ever own). Taking the figure out of the box prooved quite a challenge. There were so many wire strings, here and there, that it took me about 20 minutes of effort to finally remove the figure. But, I should note, that since I am a toy collector, keeping the box intact (and near mint) is one of my main goals, during the "figure removal process".
Lo, and behold, there was Primus in all his glory. I examined the toy's robot mode carefully. I immidiately noticed that the toy was very hard to pose. Instead of the joints bending in a smooth fluid motion, the joints instead, were clicked into place. Confused? Ok, think about a rusty door hinge, that struggles to move when you push on it. However, Primus had no problems standing on its own.
I was also disappointed to see that only the shoulder cannons were capable of actually firing plastic missiles. Other missile ports that were located on the arms, and lower legs (cluster missiles), were only there for display.
On a plus side, Transformation did proove to be easy (once the instructions were consulted). The weird-looking "omega lock" device is required to transform the figure, back and forth. Once the omega lock is inserted, and moved in the required direction, lights and sounds in the toy are activated, during the transformation.
I would say that this toy's value as a collectors item, greatly outweighs any flaws that it may have. It is capable of standing on its on in robot mode. Also, the "planet mode" also has four small pegs, on which you can stand the figure up for display.
