Site Sponsor RobotKingdom have updated their Facebook Page with several in-package images of newly arrived packages - including the second Entertainment Pack - featuring slight repaints of First Edition Bumblebee and Starscream, accompanied by a dastardly pair of human figures - MECH Commander Silas and a MECH Soldier.

As we have learned from Seibertron's Toy Fair Coverage this pack will only be available in Asia and Canada, so preorders from North American retailers may be rare. If you want one, be sure to make some friends; that is what the Seibertron Energon Pub is all about!

Back on topic of the repaints, it appears that Bumblebee will feature light blue highlights instead of his typical black stripes, and Starscream replaces some of his dark blue applications with a shade of light purple.

I'll be keeping an eye out for these in the various TRUs nearby. If anyone wants them, please let me know and I'll do my best.

I do want the humans though - and I kind of want to army build the MECH troops

Come on! they can paint his head spike pink on this release but not red on the original? :-(

Horrible repaint. And I dont think Malaysia(It's in Asia in case you dont know) need any cause here we still have a shitload of the original FE Starscream and Bumblebee.

wonder what hasbro has against releasing the human characters in the US, so far all we got were the Jack and Raf from ComicCon

Damn, Damn, Damn! I was totally going to get that set, but they just had to go and repaint them horribly, didn't they? Well, I guess it's back to ebay for those two :-(

I'm glad its a non-US release.

Could Hasbro learn to maybe package this **** with someone OTHER than Bumblebee?! Jesus christ, as if there isn't enough molds of this character floating around.

I really like this set. Bumblebee is basically the Takara FE deco and Starscream kinda looks like Skywarp.

by **Godzillabot Primal** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 11:01 am

Good enough a Skywarp for me

ALLSPARK BLUE vs DARK ENERGON PURPLE

.............
What, another item not released in America?! *grumble*

News Credits: 456 · by **Sabrblade** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:16 pm

Those MECH figures alone are enough to warrant a purchase.

Wait... Leader "Silas" Bishop? What's that mean? :???:

I'd be interested if it got a domestic release, but I won't be hunting this.

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 3:06 pm

Hmm, I hope that's not the closest we get to seeing a Skywarp. No way I'm picking this set up with ANOTHER Bee in it, especially with Allspark Blue. If 'Starscream' was available on his own, I'd think about it. But I gotta wonder what is up with Hasbro's distribution. I can't believe they can't get toys released in their own country.

Damn, more Bumblebees and entertainment packs to clutter our shelves again, lol...just kidding.
That paint job looks alot better than the crappy one that I bought and had to exchange and exchange and exchange ...I am on my 4th FE Bumble bee...crappy QC. The yellow is horrible on the FE Bumblebee. I wanted to get the NYCC version but didn't want to pay too much for it.

What? Why won't they give us a US release? I swear, we really got jipped out of the fe molds. First we barely see arcee starscream and bumblebee in TRU at all, then we don't get any cliffs, primes, or bulkheads. Come to think of it, we didn't get the first entertainment pack either. Why? Why can't we just have these great molds? I was lucky enough to get arcee scream and bee for 20 a piece a week ago, and I'm still debating on whether or not to open them hoping I'll see the molds again. I don't even care about fes, I just want the same mold, then they go and replace them with RiD.

I can't imagine why they would toake the time and money to make those when they already had perfectly good molds lying around, and on top of that the new ones are inferior in nearly every respect.

At the risk of sounding like a troll the US is not exactly shortchanged in the exclusives category. Quite apart from Botcon and the TFCC both being based in the US making their toys prohibitively expensive or outright unobtainable overseas, many Toys R Us, Target or Walmart exclusives never come out outside of the US and some regular retail figures never even get released in the UK due to being at the end of a line.

So to everyone whinging at this not being released in the US know that you're incredibly lucky compared to must over fans worldwide and stop acting so entitled.

My god. Stop whining. Australia and UK didn't even get the first wave of FE and even if we did they'd cost twice as much here.

To all those who want the Starscream but don't want the Bee: they have a shortage of Bumblebee in Romania. All you have to do is find the Romanian Ebay and you can offload him.

You forgot to mention that release of wave 1 is sporadic at best and wave two won't be available until September if we're lucky.

Here are some additional in-hand images of the brand new Transformers Prime Entertainment Pack which includes variants of the First Edition Bumblebee and Starscream toys as well as two human figurines of Leland "Silas" Bishop and a MECH Soldier. We originally posted a couple of teaser pics last week courtesy of site sponsor RobotKingdom.com. Earlier this month at Toy Fair 2012, Hasbro stated that this set would not be available in the United States unfortunately and would only be sold in Hasbro's markets in Asia (and possibly Canada). This set was purchased from RobotKingdom.com (set / case).

Of special note with this packaging is that on the bottom of the box, the Transformers Prime Robots In Disguise Voyagers Class Optimus Prime and Megatron toys are referred to as "Powerizers", which is the first time that word has appeared on any packaging. At this time, we are assuming that this name was dropped in favor of retaining the Voyager Class name for simpler marketing purposes. "Powerizers" refers to the light up feature in the Voyager Class weapons in this line.

Check back later this week for Seibertron.com's gallery of this set. Don't forget to check out the 29 Transformers Prime galleries that we currently have which you can view by clicking here.
