Well, they aren't the painted figures, but they are officially on Hasbro's site.

Sunstreaker, Prowl, Tankor, Powerglide and Onslaught as unpainted prototypes including comments concerning the creation.

This is great! But I thought they were only going to be shown in the club magazine?

The club has the painted version.
Btw, note the date. It's older than the Sunstreaker Club image.

And while we are at it, the link to the Universe section itself.

I hope by tomorrow I'll be abile to pick my jaw up off the ground after watching that clip!

It has me wondering if a domestic MP Megs could be in the works?

All of them are awesome. I'm least impressed with Octane/tankor. Man Hasbro just saw my "oh" face.... OH oHHH

WOW. loving the proto's Sunstreaker Looks totally amazing.

I'm totally digging Prowl. and Octane, sorry Tankor, man you can't even tell he's really a triple changer in any mode. Well maybe in robot mode.

Powerglide looks really nice.

Onslaught reminds me more of Groundhsaker's base's vehicle mode.
But still very nice.

It looks Like Suntreaker's and Prowl's wrists can rotate very nice detail there. Very cool.
Can't wait for these to be released.

I'll skip most of Animated and wait for these.

i can see why people may not like him (lots of kibble) but octane/tankor is my clear favorite in this bunch...can't wait to see the paint apps in the club magazine!

Wow, these look brilliant - that Sunstreaker looks better than the first images we saw.

Onslaught looks fantastic, as do Prowl and Tankor.

Powerglide might have to grow on me a bit.

Interesting that Sunstreaker looks about eleventy billion times better in that photo than in the exclusive one folks got so worked up about. Note to Hasbro: It's been 20 years. You KNOW the line is popular. Please let someone who knows what they're doing transform the damn toys for promotional photos.

They all look so good. Octane is going to make Astrotrain look even worse than he is. Powerglide looks like a fantastic update of the character in both modes, as does Prowl. Just hope Prowl's shoulder launchers are removable. Not totally sold on Onslaught's vehicle mode, but I'll still buy him. That's one of the most impressive lineups I've seen since... well, Classics 1.0.

That's ironic, they pay $40 to see sunstreaker first and just a few days later everyone gets to see the rest at the same time.

Now those are good looking toys, especially Prowl and Powerglide. Looking forward to seeing the finished products once they've gotten their full paints. Definitely buying these.

Sunstreaker looks A LOT better here than he did on TFCC. Tankor is a real mind blower. I think I might be picking most of these up, hah.

News Credits: 1 · by **0ctane** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 5:40 pm

Wow! ok I may have been a bit hasty with my total hasbro ban...

Prowl, sunstreaker, Octane/tankor/whatever and onslaught are definately on my list. love that riot shield idea for onslaught.

they truly are getting better and better.

News Credits: 7 · by **Omega Charge** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 5:40 pm

Those are pretty awesome! I don't know about their paint job, I'll just wait and see, maybe pick up one...

Very cool.

by **Sarri** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 5:41 pm

Uhm, not to be selfish or anyhting, but I clearly remember submitting that as news before King Henrik made his topic.

by **microclone** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 5:42 pm

wow, exceeded my expectations. sunstreaker looks better here with his legs correctly transformed. onslaught alt mode is very unique, looks more like something that could be in TF animation, very cool.
