Glad to see you too. I'm always around, I just don't post much anymore because Tfs have been a little boring as far as releases are concerned :BANG_HEAD:

I haven't bought a single Tf last month because of it, I'm dying for some new stuff atm

I'm normally the kind of fan of TF to where I just read the updates and fansquee over the shows and movies and dont really dedicate my life to collecting the figures.... but the Screamer looks tight and I MUST HAVE IT!!

Wow if these do get released in July then I'm gonna be broke, with all the DOTM toys and these, too many Tfs to aquire in this short period of time..

Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:27 pm

I don't like the show at all but I must admit Starscream looks neat. The molds are pretty good!

I don't like the show either but I LOVE the character designs. Definitely picking up Starscream and may even collect the series.

This packaging is far superior to that of DOTM

Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:54 pm

These molds are really well done. I was wondering how good the arcee and starscream would be but they did an awesome job on them. I would love to pick them up if i were not strapped for cash.

that "First Edition" on the packaging just makes me wanna keep it in package all the more. lol.

Haha, I know what you mean. I'm sure the TF:Prime toy line will breathe life into both of us!

Starscream is a definite pick-up. Arcee if I have the money at the time.

Bring on Soundwave and Skyquake!

I like the packaging but not a fan of the figures themselves, "Arcee" is the only one im somewhat interested in. She doesnt look bad & id use her as chromia. So whats the size like are they small like DOTM or are they a good size like classics?

Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:06 pm

This packaging screams 90's to me. I LOVE IT! :APPLAUSE:

First edition? Is it polybagged? :lol:

Those arm blades are going to be removable/replaceable with some well placed rare earth magnets once I get my hands on her. Same technique will probably go into her shoulder "wings". I'm stoked about this line. I'm thinking I'm going to return some of the DOTM randoms I picked up even though I was second guessing them. Can't wait to take pics of my own tomorrow. :grin:

First Edition, eh? I hope these aren't difficult to find, because I want them. BADLY.

They look amazing. Hells yeah.

Sat Jun 04, 2011 1:29 am

I don't really like that packaging, but hey, it's what's on the inside that counts! :lol:

And it's still way better than Cybertron's packaging was. Now there was some bad packaging.

News Credits: 1 · Sat Jun 04, 2011 1:31 am

Such a shame I'll probably never see these figures in retail around here. Arcee looks GREAT. It seems I'm going to have to import.

Sat Jun 04, 2011 2:41 am

The packaging looks plain awesome but...Is it just me or does Bumblebee look "plain"? His head looks unpainted or something...

Sat Jun 04, 2011 4:09 am

Lovve these! Gonna get arcee and starscream.

News Credits: 14 · Sat Jun 04, 2011 4:31 am

OMG!!
Arcee looks sooo gosh darn sexy (in a metallic robot kind of way, ahem :grin:

)!!
Roll out the pink repaint/store exclusive with a possible remold/head swap to the one we all know and luurve, Transformers the Movie!!

You can keep your overpriced, poor quality 3rd party Arcee's in favour of this sweet mold anyday!
Till all are one!

I'm pretty sure those are just attached by pegs, so removing them won't be too hard.

Quite pleased at how good these figures look without all of Hasbro's Photoshoppery (it's a word!) As others have said it's rare that we get a Transformers motorbike that looks so good in both modes, so I find it amazing that I think Arcee may be the best of the three. I greatly enjoyed Transformers: Prime's debut mini-series, even if the main show is somewhat mediocre.

Whether or not I go for this line will depend heavily on what its top tier Optimus Prime and Megatron will be like. And also which other Transformers products are around at the time as price will be a issue, especially considering TFC Project Deva.

Have you had the chance to drool over our last batch of Tranformers Prime pictures? Well don't stop now because we have lots more to come. Here is the latest in our Transformers Prime Gallery. There are more pictures of Optimus Prime, Megatron and the SDCC Matrix packaged Optimus Prime. This brings the images in the Tranformers Prime Gallery to 86.
