Great news folks, the last figure in the Transformers Prime "Robots in Disguise" line has been spotted in the US! megatronis found Voyager Class Skyquake at Bedrock City Comics in Webster, TX. Skyquake is the final figure scheduled for release in the Transformers Prime "Robots in Disguise" line, before switching over Transformers Prime "Beast Hunters" in 2013. Keep in mind, specialty shops often get new items ahead of mass retailers, but it's good to see this guy Stateside none the less.

So, Skyquake didn't get cancelled in the U.S.

I hardly think this means anything though...Who knows if the comic shop owner couldve imported it and is selling it. Once it shows up in LOCAL retailers, is when I start hunting... :-?

Just a comic shop sighting. Not sure why this is news.

Regardless of whether it ends up in retail or not, it's still missing from the Toy Sightings > Product Listings page so even if someone does find Skyquake, we're unable to post where and when we found it.

but why? that makes no sense. if say I found it at Walmart and said it was 22.99 that couldnt be posted? I mean if you couldnt do it because of scalpers, then OK i see where your coming from other then that i really dont lol

As far as Product Listings on the Toy Sightings go, you're not going to get him there yet. It takes an actual retail sighting to start it up, because we don't know if it will be cancelled. Even then, it might take a while before we get a toy it's place in the Sightings.

As for just plain sighting it, there are toy sighting threads that you can post them on.

And then, if your the first sighting, getting it in the news requires proof.

I did my best to answer that. :BANG_HEAD:

Thanks for the clarification.

By the time I find this at retail, the series will be over and we'll be on to the next one.

Prime's lasting as far as 2015, according to Peruvian Hasbro. I doubt Skyquake will still be available at retail in 2015.

At this point I'll hold out for an AM version, it'll be cheaper than scalper prices and I get a Micron too....

Now I just need Takara to announce it !!

It would have to come with a repaint of Jigu though, despite the new character = new Micron rule, thanks to the last two Micron slots being filled by Frenzy/Rumble and Wildrider.

In Texas, huh? Close to Dallas I hope?

Phew. And I thought he was going to be cancelled (swipes sweat off of head).
