Courtesy of site sponsor Robotkingdom's facebook page we some in-package shots of their latest shipment from Hasbro/Takara Tomy. The figures include:

• Transformers Generations Fall of Cybertron Voyagers Blaster with Steejaw and Grimlock
• Transformers Masterpiece MP-14 Red Alert with Collector Coin
• Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-27 Ultra Magnus, AM-28 Leo Prime, and AM-29 Shockwave
• Capbots

[Rated X]

A little disappointed in grimlock. He has too many distinct features of the animated version. He might work for classics. I want to see him out of the box. I wish somebody would open up the Shockwave already. I want to see if he is going to be a more G1 cartoon accurate purple. Photos of purple always seem to be more bluish that in real life. I want him to be bluish this time. And by the way those cap-bots just suck. A failed attempt to try to appeal to urban collectors. Stick to actual clothes.

Mmmmmm grimlock and blaster too

Damn, now I'm tempted to import Leo Prime. I love the paint job and I don't trust Hasbro to release it here.

Compared to the package artwork, the paint job on Grimlock looks really dull. I hope that's just bad lighting or something. Kinda disappointing looking

Squee, new Super Combo Weapons!

Ultra Magnus' Corona Glaive may be the best looking, followed by the Leonid Tonfa. Since when do tonfas have blades? Shockwave's Shooting Star Scissors (try saying that 3 times fast) is downright silly. O well.

I'm dying to know what Leo Prime's bio says.

After playing through FoC for the 3rd time, I can't wait to get Grimmy. Playing as him was the best part of the game, for me. The child side of me is dying to set up a bunch of Decepticon Legion-class figures and make FoC Grimlock trample them Godzilla-style.

Me Need Grimlock to Munch Shockwave metal.....NOW!!!!!!!

My wish has been granted... sort of. Leo Prime's bio:

Leo Prime
Function: Maximal High Commander

Suddenly appearing on present-day Earth after sensing the threat of Unicron, Leo Prime is a Transformer elder who has crossed over from a distant dimension. On his former world, he was a revered high commander known as Great Lio Convoy. In order to avoid a space-time disturbance, he refrains from interfering in the battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. However, should Unicron awaken once again, he has vowed to use his ancient sword, drawing power from his Energon Matrix, to put a stop to the evil force.

Super Combo Weapon:
Leonid Tonfa

So... Leo Prime is the very same Lio Convoy from after both Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo, having dimension-hopped from the Japanese G1 cartoon continuity into the Japanese Prime continuity.

I'm both impressed and indifferent towards this. I like how he's actually got a backstory and ended up being an established character, but at the same time, I guess I was hoping for an Aligned Continuity incarnation of Lio Convoy instead of the same exact guy having dimension-hopped and gotten a new body. Oh well.
