News of upcoming Transformers Prime figures continues to roll in! An Argos catalog scan posted over on Full Metal Hero reveals the first images of several new figures:

  • Cyberverse Knockout with Driller Playset
  • New Mold Deluxe Vehicon
  • Deluxe Bumblebee Repaint in Blue (possibly the Deluxe Hot Shot we heard about yesterday?)
  • Voyager Megatron?

The scan is mirrored below.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

That is definitely the Voyager Megatron, it has a clear purple stomach and blade and a weird left hand.

Woa, that Vehicon looks more show accurate than the first version.

Maybe a 3rd party company will make replaement parts for all the translucent parts on the voyagers.

That Megatron looks SICK! not to mention, Vehicon Drill Playset! :DANCE:
Though this does prove ONE thing.
Hasbro really will repaint Bumblebee into ANYTHING.
Oh gawd, I hope that's not our "Hotshot" Homaging Cybertron Hotshot...

Megatron looks pretty cool, although I'm worried about that hand. If 'Hot Shot' is indeed this Bumblebee repaint, easy pass. I'm not so sure that Vehicon is a new mold, it's too small to tell. Looks the same as the one we've seen to me.

Bad-ass repaint for Vehicon and such an improvement on looks alone for Bumblebee mold! ;)^ :VEHI:

Yes! a new Vehicon, didn't think they would have another go at him so soon, never liked how the first one looked, this one's spot on to how he is in the show! :grin:

He looks new, way sleeker than the older one, nice to see that he ditched that dumb "cape" for some beefier shoulders! ;)

Cyberverse Knock Out had better not be just a red RotF Sideways redeco.
EDIT: The red figure on that giant drill dohicky looks nothing like Sideways. Hopefully his redeco is just an "extra", non-show character.

I'm glad Bumblebee isn't redecod anything like Bumblebee for once. Would be a shame if the rumored new show character that'll actually hang around for more than one episode ends up being "just" a repaint character, but seeing how Cheetor/Tigatron, Tarantulas/Blackarachnia, and Starscream/his clones where all handled I'm not worrying about the new bot being being too similar to BB.

Voyager Megs: YES!
Heck even the Blue Bee look pretty decent
And I guess I'll have to get 3 of those Vehicons too...

Since they seem to be taking a little from every branch of the TF legacy, what if that Blue Bee became Wasp? I'd even say Glyph but I'm not sure who actually has the rights to that character (I'm sure someone will enlighten me)

I *think* it's supposed to be the recently listed TFP-Hot Shot, paint scheme courtesy of the Cybertron toy.

Pure speculation on my part mind you... :-?

Oh, I know you're probably right, but a Delicon can dream.

Actually, in the minds of Hasbro Hot Rod/Hot Shot/Bumblebee are pretty much one character anyway....the young, cool bot for the kids to like.

It would be the first time since '07 since a repaint of the Bumblebee mold would not be 'Insert Adjective' Bumblebee.

It's definitely a new Vehicon mold - the spoilers missing from the rear of the alt mode (and the back of the bot mode) & the hood splits down the middle to form the legs...

Well Jesus Hasbro, how about making the first version of a toy AVAILABLE before you go and put out a new one?

Although, this could be a good thing. If there's more than one version of Vehicon, less people will be hoarding the first one. Depending on how small the Decepticon cast ends up being, I might actually get both versions myself. I still hope they do the flying one too.

If & when they do the seeker version of Vehicon, Botcon will turn them into Cloudraker and Fastlane so fast it'll make your head spin!

So far I'm really diggin' this line! But with today's inflated prices even in brick and mortor stores I think I'll still choose to wait until they're on sale.
