Of course I never actually watched Cybertron.Maybe I have no place calling Primus boring? Was he really exciting there? I bought the original toy at retail and felt good about it. But a Unicron-comparible price for him seems excessive.

Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

Well, if he's comparable to Unicron in SIZE then the price would be justified. And frankly, he was pretty cool. At one point he used Cybertron's moons as nunchuks against a giant Starscream.

Yup that's Primus. What's this pic from?
He was still in Energon. It was his first ever cartoon appearance:Ultra Markus wrote:If they are hinting at the next haslab as being from the energon line how can it be Primus primus was from the cybertron line

Sidenote: It is really irksome that this seems to be the only screencap of Primus from the Energon cartoon on the entire internet.
He spoke. He had lines. He was a character who conversed with other characters, and had a role to play. All throughout the series.Ultra Markus wrote:No his first appearance was in cybertron when they got all the cyber keys to transform him this doesn't count

That's like claiming Nightbird's first cartoon appearance was in the Cyberverse cartoon, all because she wasn't a Transformer in the G1 cartoon.
Primus was never a Transformer in his original Marvel Comics appearances either. He was an energy being who became the core of Cybertron. And that Cybertron could never transform either because it was explicitly a non-transforming planet.
You do know that I said that in the post you're quoting, right? In the post I made previously, I said Energon was his first cartoon appearance, not his first appearance in anything ever.Ultra Markus wrote:If you really want to get technical primus first actual appearance was in the g1 comic

Then I guess that means the Vok have never appeared in anything at all, since, by their nature as spectral beings, they have no physical forms either. And according to you, something had to be physical in order appear in a story. Therefore, the Vok have never appeared in anything. Beast Wars is a lie.Ultra Markus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:You do know that I said that in the post you're quoting, right?

I wouldn't call that an actual appearance as he had no physical form

Oh, and Tornedron never appeared in anything either, because he is a being made entirely of energy and, per Primacron's statements, is a creature composed of no matter at all. So his noncorporeal existence means he's never appeared in anything either. "Call of the Primitives" is a lie, too.![]()
And then there's Unicron, who must have never appeared in Beast Wars Neo as a being comprised purely of polymorphic energy and thus wasn't actually ever a physical being in that show, and so never appeared in it. Beast Wars Neo is now also a lie.![]()
And who could forget Kremzeek? Well, he doesn't exist either since he too is an energy being and not a physical being, so he's never appeared in anything either. His episode is a lie as well.![]()

It would seem LOGICAL (not that it's likely or that we want it, just LOGICAL) that the 40th anniversary HasLab would be Optimus Prime.

This is why I think Omega Prime could be pretty likely. It hits that Optimus Prime brand recognition while also being a version of the character that we haven't seen a new figure of in over twenty years (although there have been a few redecos and repackaging over the years.)
The only other major Optimus Prime that we haven't seen in a long while is Energon Prime. We've gotten plenty of G1 and Bayverse, plus Armada, Cybertron, Animated, and even an Optimal Optimus in 2018. I would think that anything after that would be too recent for a big reveal.

If Energon is the second-worst to anything, it ain't Beast Machines, but rather Machinima's Prime Wars Trilogy.First-Aid wrote:It doesn't make sense to do a figure from TF: Energon...a series that is generally regarded by most fans as either the worst of second-worst (to Beast Machines though I enjoyed the series and so did my wife, who is always right) series.

Sabrblade wrote:In all seriousness, I'm hoping it's something that'll be nowhere near as big and expensive as Unicron was. That was a lot of money, and I can't imagine anyone being happy to drop that much from their bank accounts a second time. Or even a first time if Unicron was deemed too expensive.
I mean, sure, having a big Planet Cybertron that could turn into Primus, a playset, or both, would be cool, but it'd also be about 700 dollars, which would be torture on the wallet.
