But the point I was making was, why have a trophy, a SILVER one at that, just for pressing a button to select Prime Mode. That's not an achievement. Building up the four size classes is, which rightly earns a trophy... but then they just "give away" a Silver trophy for pressing a single button. You have to complete the entire campaign on "normal" to earn a Silver, or spend hours finding all Audiofiles, or even earn enough energon to buy all weapons and upgrades.
It just doesn't make any sense to waste a Silver on something that requires no effort to do. (in my opinion... )
Because starting over really hurts. You don't have the better weapons and abilities and the upgrades unlock progressively up to level 25. I started dying a lot more after I went Prime and its very tedious re-leveling just to get the better stuff.

Considering the small playerbase, most are just casually playing and probably don't have the time to get Prime and re-level. The way you earn experience is kind of harsh too - i think its based on number of kills and your own number of deaths, so most of the unskilled people playing MP would get very little exp.

In campaign, you don't have to start again from the very beginning, its all unlocked and you're free to play it however you wish whereas in MP, you're forced to commit to restarting from zero with nothing good.
