What the balls? Let me get this straight so I don't become depressed later: The TF Prime toy line is a SDCC exclusive one?

No no, just a repaint of the Deluxe Prime figure. And I'm half expecting a repaint of the deluxe DotM Prime.

By the by, your original question sounds a bit silly now, doesn't it?

Which is why I asked the question. It seemed stupid to me too; which is why I had to ask.

DOTM is the main line this year, I was hoping SDCC stuff would be something different, like Animated or RID, a non-movie repaint.

I heard that too, with an extra decal sheet or something. I want to see this. I dunno if a paint job can really make that prime actually look good, but I wanna see it.
Any pics in the magazine?

I've heard the biggest difference in this SDCC TF:Prime Optimus Prime is that he comes with the Matrix. Meh.

Does this mean there won't be a normal retail release of that figure?

They've never made a mold to be an exclusive, we'll see a release of it.

That is the worst photoshop job I have ever seen as official Hasbro stock photography.
Man does this thing suck, the GI Joe exclusive is better than this.
If you're wondering how much this will cost, it'll cost 5 dollars more than the standard version, so just add 5 dollars to the US price of a deluxe.

I won't be attending SDCC, so I hope I don't miss out on anything that makes DOTM Prime hugely better. I reckon (and hope) Reprolabels will do a sticker sheet eventually.

HA HA! I'd just love to walk around with an Optimus Prime figure hanging from my neck, but I don't think I should deprive others of that pleasure.
A bit jealous about the Ultimate Prime with stickers though.

Why is that note-worthy? Because the only other difference is it comes with a decal sheet so you have to try and make it sound worth a damn any way you can?
Wonder if this version will have painted wheels...doubt it.

...so, wait. The "Matrix" toy sounds like the selling point is that it comes in a matrix-shaped package, that you can wear... and the "Ultimate" is exclusive because it comes with a special decal sheet, and is packaged in vehicle mode instead of robot mode?
So, in effect, the only exclusive thing about these two toys is that they have fancy packaging, and for one of them, some stickers?
(sigh) Pass.

I'm pretty sure the TF:P Prime is a slight repaint of his general release version.
