Primal it is.

He does turn into a dragon which fly's so I think he fits in the wind card category as well.

An unintentional yet funny typo. :lol:

Fixed.

Whoops, my mistake.
Still, him being limited to 10K pieces plays a part in making him obscure even if he was retail. And it's not exactly like a lot of the non-show Maximals and Predacons enjoy the same luxury and popularity as non-show G1 toys, either...

Honestly, I'm glad the main 3 candidates are Autobots....even if I did vote for Deza, not Ultra or Primal. ;)^

Beast Wars Bonecrusher and Cybershark yos?

Ugh. Star Saber. I don't want it to be Star Saber. But I am, about, a billion percent sure that it will be.

Now this is perfect.

In all honesty, if this is not rigged (which I don't think it is, I think it like someone said: they already have plans for the figures, we just choose who goes first) I hope Primal wins. The "G1" team would have to make us a Beast-era figure, and it would be cool to show them we not only like all the last G1 stuff they're doing, but also some beast wars

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Sat Jan 28, 2017 12:01 pm

I'm starting to want to vote for Primal now for that same reason. Let's set a precedent for Beast Wars representation

I also want Primal to win. Magnus is kinda, well, Magnus. He's already too similar to a Prime to be much different. Saber could be awesome in Hasbro stuff, but horrible in IDW. Primal I think is not only the best choice out of safety and interest, but also out of getting a new cool toy. I would love to see an updated design for Primal like in this artwork with a more streamlined head instead of the cylindrical look of the original. Just my opinion, but a Primal with more detail and modern takes could be BEAST. (pun intended.) Also, Primal's bio tho! I never thought he would be put into the Chaos category, but the idea of Primal using chaos to his advantage is just so cool! =P~

The bios really won things for me honestly. Primal's at first strikes me as a trying-too-hard justification to put him in Chaos, but I still like the idea of expanding the 'sometimes crazy works' line AND the idea of making him king of Eukaris to merge into recent stuff. Megatron's was also pretty damn interesting, and Arcee's was also a pretty cool idea.

Oh yes I agree. In fact, Arcee's bio was even better than Hound's. The only reason I definitely chose Hound though is because I accidentally did. :lol:

I already was leaning towards him though because I would rather a female character not win the third fan vote ever. I mean, so far besides this one all the fan votes have won with females. Having Sargent Hound Prime would've been better I think. Still, I'm glad Primal is a choice here, and he's definitely gonna be my choice.

Don't ya mean Sergeant Houndimus Prime eh?

Well that's just disappointing.

I really have no time for Primal or Star Sabre.

I wanted Thunderwing to reclaim his Marvel greatness.

Between this, Victorion and Windblade, I'm sick of fan voting.

Haha, that would be hilarious.

Still, I like Primal enough. He'll do.

Btw, what would Primal be called as a Prime? Primal Prime? Maximal Prime? Munky Prime?

I would be perfectly ok with Primal being named "Maximal Primal" if he won

You have no idea how long I've been waiting for someone to get the name "Maximus Prime." besides, "Maximal Prime" is just the beast wars version of the name, which I also love

It's bad enough "Nexus Maximus" was supposed to originally be "Maximus Prime." Give me one please!

News Credits: 439 · by **Sabrblade** » Sun Jan 29, 2017 11:21 pm

I don't exactly think there would really have to be a name change for the new Prime, as there are some Primes who don't have the word in their name. For instance, some of the Thirteen, even in the various versions where all of them are Primes, don't have "Prime" in their name. Examples include Prima, Alpha Trion (Uniend), Liege Maximo, Epistemus (non-IDW), Autonomous Maximus, Solomus (non-IDW), Mortilus (non-IDW), Adaptus (non-IDW), and sometimes Megatronus (at least one single piece of TF media refers to him as "Megatronus Prime", while most others just use "Megatronus").
