Does anyone else only collect Megs & Prime ?

[n2o]

I've always loved transformers as a kid, seeing someone who had G1 Prime in the school yard had me so jealous, but our family wasn't well off, so toys were a rare thing to get let alone a transformer.

I only started late last year when MP-4 were at Target, once i had prime, it felt wrong not to have his counter part, so i grabbed MP-05 off these forums.

Now Alternity prime is just around the corner, i don't know if i should get Megs as well as his head.... well is somewhat enlarged.

Thats just me rambling, but i'm just wondering if there is anyone else who only collects Prime & Megs

Nope. Who would my Prime and Megs lead if they didn't have troops? As Ravage once said to Beast Wars Megatron, "You have his name, but not his army."

Still...

MP-05 doesn't exist here. Didn't you know that? Hence why it is hard to get them past customs in the east

i had a friend that begged me to get him a MP4, glad Optimus Prime never really fades away from when you were a kid...

Unlike VIC ownership of gun Transformers is legal in NSW as long as we have the permit from the NSW Police Firearms Registry and the toy(s) is stored under legal compliance.

My legally compliant storage of prohibited Megatrons:


See here for more details about legal ownership of Megatron in NSW.

A small majority of my collection is optimus prime. i have most but some i didnt bother with because they were just to gimmicie.like Energon optimus prime with his (mini primes).quoting hotshot from the series i think.and he looked like he had stacked on a few kilos with the way his new body looked. i notice you dont have any beastwars or beastmachines optimus prime in your collection.or maybe i just cant see them..i generally only collect autobots but thats just because i have my favorites and they tend to be autobots. cant wait for classic hound with ravage.my 2 favs

Yeah - his nickname in the fandom is "Fatimus Prime." He's also known as "Power Rangers Prime" because his gimmick is so reminiscent of the Power Rangers' Zords when they combine.

I assume that was directed at me. Optimus Primal and Optimus Prime are two entirely different characters. Having said that, Optimus Prime was technically released in Beast Wars as "Convobat" which is the Basic bat version of Optimus Primal. In Anglophone continuity bat Primal is Optimus Primal, but in Japanese toy continuity Convobat is a different character from Convoy (Optimus Primal) - Convobat's tech specs specifically states that he is an upgrade of Optimus Prime. Likewise Megalligator's (JP crocodile Megatron) tech specs states that he is an upgrade of G1 Megatron. I have CD-ROM Convobat pictured there - he's standing in the middle of Softimus Prime, Alternators Prime, MP Convoy, Grand Convoy and Cybertron Optimus Prime.

I have Basic Optimus Primal vs Megatron as well as regular Convobat vs Megalligator - toywise they're identical. So I personally view them all as Optimus Primal and BW Megatron, but since CD ROM Convobat and Megalligator bear very distinctly different colours, I consider them to be the "true" Beast Wars Optimus Prime and G1 Megatron over their regularly coloured Japanese counterparts.

Pics for comparison
Bat Optimus Primal - Optimus Primal =/= Optimus Prime
Convobat (tech specs art) - same toy as Optimus Primal (bat) but characterwise is Optimus Prime
Convobat (CD ROM) - Optimus Prime (bat Primal repainted in Optimus Prime's colours)
CD ROM vs set (MOSC)

I once wrote a fan-profile for CD ROM Convobat as Beast Wars Hot Rodimus.

Universe/Henkei Hound/Ravage are nice toys. I'm sure you'll like them.

ive always considered optimus primal to be optimus prime and they just changed there names to suit the enviroment, like maximals and predicons.it was one of those things that did bother me in the series when they introduced optimus prime in the ark.so if hes not optimus prime who is he and how do's he come by primes face and name because,same as megatron. i always thought that the time line for beastwars was set somewhere after (about 500 to 1000 years) the original series but set in prehistoric earth.

that is correct but both Optimus Primal and Megatron took there names from there anciesters i.e. Optimus Prime and Megatron im pretty sure thats right i know thats right for Megs not 100% sure with Optimus though
