 A great collectors toy.Jan 03, 2007
By Blade
When I first saw the advertisment for the Primus action figure, I absolutely had to get it. For one thing, a toy for Primus has never (ever!) been released, since Transformers first started in the 80s. I've waited over two decades for this toy to be released. The almighty creator of Transformers, how could I pass him up?!
Primus stands relatively tall, about nearly 12 inches in height. It's probably the the largest Transformer I own (and probably the largest, that you'll ever own). Taking the figure out of the box prooved quite a challenge. There were so many wire strings, here and there, that it took me about 20 minutes of effort to finally remove the figure. But, I should note, that since I am a toy collector, keeping the box intact (and near mint) is one of my main goals, during the "figure removal process".
Lo, and behold, there was Primus in all his glory. I examined the toy's robot mode carefully. I immidiately noticed that the toy was very hard to pose. Instead of the joints bending in a smooth fluid motion, the joints instead, were clicked into place. Confused? Ok, think about a rusty door hinge, that struggles to move when you push on it. However, Primus had no problems standing on its own.
I was also disappointed to see that only the shoulder cannons were capable of actually firing plastic missiles. Other missile ports that were located on the arms, and lower legs (cluster missiles), were only there for display.
On a plus side, Transformation did proove to be easy (once the instructions were consulted). The weird-looking "omega lock" device is required to transform the figure, back and forth. Once the omega lock is inserted, and moved in the required direction, lights and sounds in the toy are activated, during the transformation.
I would say that this toy's value as a collectors item, greatly outweighs any flaws that it may have. It is capable of standing on its on in robot mode. Also, the "planet mode" also has four small pegs, on which you can stand the figure up for display.

Premium toy befitting the character it portraysSep 02, 2007
By W. M. Hebert
As an adult who still tinkers with toys, I have to say that I definitely appreciate the design and mechanics of this Transformer.
As a collector's item, both forms of the toy are visually appealing. Robot mode sports a high degree of posing ability that you would expect from a toy this size and it comes close to equalling the Unicron toy. Primus's planet mode features a convenient "stand" of four legs that upon casual inspection would just be towers jutting from Cybertron's surface. Both forms sport an appreciable level of skin detail and in planet mode you can see "cities" dotting the surface. Primus's design that marries the planet and robot modes feels complete and intuitive unlike some of the aspects of the Unicron toy.
As a toy, Primus needs a bit of respect and care. You can play with him and pose him just so long as you mind some sensitive bits. In planet mode, it is a nicely buttoned-up sphere (great job, designers!!) that could probably withstand a slight bit of punishment. In robot mode, its main body and limbs all feel solid and strong, but several parts of him have hidden connections to gear systems inside the toy and do not like to be forced. Repeated forcing may strip interior gears and damage the toy's ability to transform, though I'm just guessing on that.
Things to note:
- Transformation of the toy requires the use of an accessory, the "Omega Lock", that can be lost. Substitutes such as a sharp object to engage the lock inside the Omega Lock sockets are possible, but try not to lose that Omega Lock accessory. The other "key" works the wrist-mounted guns and is not as vital.
- Two of the Omega Lock steps are deceptively tricky to perform. Sliding the lock seems to engage a gear train with a high ratio and requires a bit of force to overcome. Practice is required but you'll get it.
- As stated before, do not force pieces of the toy to "transform" that would ordinarily require the Omega Lock key. They don't like it.
- Batteries are used to illuminate a piece on the Omega Lock (included) and to generate sounds and light the figure's eyes during transformation (2AA not included). The 2AA that go into the toy are highly optional and I recommend not installing them if you can avoid it.
Without hesitation, I recommend this to collectors and to parents of older children who are still interested in toys such as this. With proper care and a Ziploc bag to keep that Omega Lock thing safe, Primus is an excellent toy.

A terriffic toy!Jan 03, 2007
By G. Blaise
"Toy lover parent to toy lover kids"
My son (age 7) recieved this as a christmas present from his grandparents. After watching me transform it once, he was able to breeze through it with no problems. While I would not have necessarily made the Cyber Planet key necessary to transform the toy (requiring you to use a finger or a pencil as a substitute if it gets lost), it does not take away from its overall quality.
As a Transformer fan myself, I'm just bitter that I didn't get one!

 Well worth the price...Jan 18, 2007
By A. Rodriguez
I purchased this paticular Transformer for my 7 year old brother as a Christmas gift. He absolutely loved it! It is very large, and slightly overwhelming. But, like many of the Transformers nowadays, reading the directions is almost required if you wish to grasp the full potential of your new toy. After reading them once however, you could pretty much do it again without any help. The neatest thing about this Transformer is he requires four other "Cyber Keys" from any other Transformer to unlock his "Cyber Key." So this would not be a good gift for a first time Transformer owner. But the kid loves it, and it was well worth the price.

My son loves it!Jan 12, 2007
By Roni
"Mom of 2"
My 6 yr old son loves Transforners, so this was a big hit with him. He loves to make them battle each other and is really good at transforming them. We keep all of the instructions in a gallon size ziploc bag, so he always knows where to get them is he needs help. These can be a little frustrating, but it your child doesn't get discouraged and is pretty patient, he will love this toy. My son only had two things on his list for Santa this year, Primus and Galvatron! I guess he was a good boy because he got both!
