Arcee looks mistransformed, particularly in the arms.

BB's looking good, despite the large feet. In fact, I'm actually starting to like this version more than the Bayverse one.

Starscream is 100% bought on sight.

Prime's starting to grow on me, but I've never liked OP toys that have "fake" windscreens as chest-plates in bot mode.

Megs looks awesome, but the kibble right behind his head worries me. Hopefully it's just a case of mistransformation.

The kids...well, it's always nice to have some human figures as a reference point to bring out the implied size of giant robots.

The show itself isn't bad. I watched the current episodes on Youtube and thought it was rather good once you get past the annoying squishies.

Arcee and Megatron are just mistransformed in these pictures. They're pretty much show-accurate when transformed correctly.

My local cable TV provider doesn't carry Hub, but maybe someone might upload some TF Prime episodes on youtube one of these days.

BTW, glad to know Arcee and Megs were just mistransformed. These two are back on my to-buy list, especially since they're affordable deluxes. OP's still in "wait and see" status.

They're already on Youtube acctually. I watched them there since I don't get Hub either.

The deluxe molds for Megatron and Optimus are probably going to be in a double pack with the annoying squishies, like the Animated "Battle Begins" pack. If that's the case, i'll be passing on it. If they get solo-releases however, i'll definitely be picking up Megatron.

Thanks for the heads up on TF Prime being on Youtube, man.

As for the figs, I read from Counterpunch's "Thing I Learned at Toy Fair" thread that TF Prime is actually going to get its own line. I'll pass on OP and Megs to see if they're getting Voyagers in the toy line. Definitely getting Arcee and BB. Hoping SS gets his own voyager fig, but the deluxe looks pretty good, though.

I am REALLY hoping we're going to get more than just these figs for TF Prime. I really liked that Skyquake...overall I'm very pleased with this series. There is a LOT of potential with this series, I think...very similar to Beast Wars in the beginning.

Any idea when these are going to be released to buy them?

If I recall correctly, it's October 2011, according to Wikipedia.

I have to say that if Hasbro are sensible and give Arcee a pink and white makeover and a remolded G1 like head in Generations/RTS then I'd buy it as it would be as close to a G1 representation of Arcee as we're ever going to get from HasTak.
