Did you happen to notice if the Wii version was there. I had it pre-ordered but just recieved an email today that they are unable to provide it as it's only being released for Wii-U which I'm surprised by because I've seen a tonne of promotional images showing all three covers.

Yes. It was there. $44.

Guys like Decepticharge and Ravage were never released here - so we all missed out getting them at local retail. I got Decepticharge from Case Fresh and I found Ravage at a TRU overseas while on honeymoon. I hope you didn't pay too much for them.

Ah, glad i got them guys then.. Actually found them on EvilBay fairly cheap, only paid $49 for decepticharge and $60 for ravage, which is fairly cheap as I think I paid around that when we got ours here in retail, buys that's not including shipping from the U.S.

You're right, there's no Megatron for Alternators or Binaltech... so yeah, Alternity's the closest match. That's why I got Alternity Megs... but of course, the scale's different. Works for Bumblebee/Cliffjumper nicely though, but guys like Megatron, Optimus Prime and the Seekers^Questars look out of place next to Binaltechs/Alternators.

Shame they didn't make a Megs for alternators, I think a veyron would have been a cool form for him.
Yer noticed that when I got my alternity Megs, the boxes are a lot smaller. So I just decided to put it away and keep him MIB.

DAMN! Nice haul there TJP, . Love that BM Prime, colors are sweet.

Too right! - That BM Prime aka Primal Prime is indeed stunning and is one Beast Machines figure I wouldn't mind adding to my collection one day, if I can find one & it's cheap that is!

Mate, didn't know that they released him in those colors, would have been awesome if he was released in that scheme for the TM BW version. i have the TM BW primal prime, but i reckon that one would have been a lot better. Sad to say that BM was not a line i collected.. Damn wish i had of now, that i have seen that version of Primal.

Thanks Guys! Beast Machines Primal Prime is a Very nice (the colors are G1 Optimus Prime inspired) recolor of BW TM Optimal Optimus.He is remolded at the back to have a seperate lights only/not fire the missiles button(see pic).I have been searching on and off for this figure for a while now and am glad to finally have one!!

Primal Prime was never released in Australia anyway -- so even if you had collected BM you would've never found it here. We missed out on a lot of BM stuff, presumably because the early stuff shelfwarmed so badly Hasbro Australia might've been afraid that retailers wouldn't show interest for more BM product. So we ended up skipping a lot of the later Beast Machines stuff, like _all_ of Battle For The Spark. Also... it's a nice mould because it's a repaint of a Beast Wars toy. The original Beast Machines moulds weren't made to the same "standard" (for lack of a better word).

BM PP is one of my fave figures from the line, and it was a little bit of hard work tracking all the figures down too but at the end it looks pretty nice all together

hehe lots of colour....
