Yeah, when you don't have to look at the price tags of all of the different TF toys and just pick one, of course the biggest one is gonna be the choice of most kids. I saw it with the other TF toys at Walmart and I can't really afford to get many TFs at all these days so if I were to get an Animated OP, it'll be the one that's on the same size scale as the other Animated bots and cons.

Didn't last year they have the TF/SW Millenium Falcon on this list? Sorry, but I can't take the list too serious after that.. hehe.

*Star Wars Clone Trooper Voice Changer (Hasbro)
* Transformers Animated Roll Out Command Optimus Prime (Hasbro)

What the? Everybody knows that from that lines, the Lightsaber Builder Kit and TFA Megatron rocks! (or alternately, the Clone Transport... anybody saw how huge it's box is?)

Or they could mean that while Megatron will be out from the shelfs till then, Prime will be an all-time shelfwarmer.

TFA Megs is pretty cool, but TFA Ultra Magnus is my current favorite Transformer.

He gets a few days in the spotlight till my City Commander set gets here =P~

Sorry...hafta rub it in...I got mine today... :-D

You know, if you look at it from a kids standpoint, the Roll Out Command Prime does more...ummm...stuff than the others....plus it does that cool spinny thingy (pardon the technical jargon). It's big enough so that some of the younger kids can handle it, it lights up and talks, is VERY easy to transform, and makes noise (much to the parents' chagrin I'd wager). Think about it...how many kids have those Tonka-like toy trucks at that age? They just made one an Optimus Prime...very good marketing strategy. It may not be the best toy from OUR perspective, but let's face it...we're grown-ups...well, age-wise we're grown ups...LOL
