Splits into three autonomous modules (sold separately).
Odd choice this, indeed. But if it results in a price drop then I guess this might be more appealing to the casual collector - cheaper, and without the space requirements for the trailer.
This might also be tempting to me. I've stubbornly refused to get any of the reissue Primes - I have my original from 1984, and despite him being far from mint condition as a result of enthusiastic play as a child, he's still mine, and doesn't need replacing. But if this isn't too expensive, it might be a useful source of spare parts...

It’s absurd, but I kind of want it BECAUSE it hasn’t got a cab = variant! It’s not like I even have lots of Prime variants but still I want it. Madness.

I'm like Rich. It seems daft and I find myself wanting it.

I'm honestly surprised it hasn't been done before.

I don't need to replace my Prime, but this one might be nice for a pristine condition one for display. If it's got the right die cast pieces and is actually correct.

It is ridiculous, half the toy is missing as Doc' says, but there is something about it that looks... I dunno... familiar, but different. Like having sex with your wife or girlfriend in a hotel room wearing a wig.

I like that he's dual-wielding. That's fun.
I don't mind he's missing his trailer. Speaking as someone with limited space, the Op trailers I do have are only ever used to stand other toys on top of in a display, so this doesn't bother me.

It doesn't want to be publicly associated with Shockprowl's depravity.

I like it. Sort of like an Autobot Car sized release.

The more I see it the more I want it just because the box will match the Autobot cars boxes.

Why would the hotel room be wearing a wig? Dammit! If only I'd woken up a couple of hours earlier... I'd have been more tired. This day may be yours Turnbull, but one day..! One day... |

He's got his proper gun in his left hand, what's the chunky one? from a different reissue?

Especially the special bit with the holes for poking the control tower out of.

I think it's a great idea! With the retro packaging it's like getting a 'new' G1 release!

What other reissues could be 'improved' by leaving out most of the toy?

Actionmaster Starscream
Actually I'd be quite happy to see boxsets of actionmasters stripped of most of the bigger vehicles.
