Word reaches us from Ozformers that the Transformers Prime Weaponizers have been released in Australia. Both Optimus Prime and Bumblebee were found a Target for 59 AUD. Hopefully this is a sign these two will be showing up at domestic retail soon. These are Leader Class size figures that feature weapons systems that can be deployed in both vehicle and robots modes. Click here for the Seibertron.com gallery of these two from BotCon 2012.

They look more like our poor ol' Ultra class size figures. I miss them. :-(

they look a little more show accurate but with a fancy weapon gimmick
just wish they could make the figures without any fancy gimmicks and give us
more of an accurate toy like for instance the first editions, they had regular
weapons and looked a lot better

I find it incredibly shocking that these are leader class sized figures for $59, at Target, a store that has been $5-$20 (depending on size class) dearer than the other retailers.

wait this is whats being passed off as leaders now?! This is getting ridiculous. Unless the damn thing transforms by its self and runs around shouting transform & roll out theres no way in hell these are worth what theyre charging. How can people say that this franchise is on track, this thing derailed miles ago exploded and is now setting fire to the area.

Easy pass for me, gimmicky figures with bad sculpts and poopy balance.

The buttons stick out like a sore thumb.

Australian Dollars. Still, converted it costs the same, but the US price will be a bit lower than that. Still don't want them tho.

WOW. How Craptastic!!

FE Prime may be smaller, but based on those photos he's vastly superior.

Yeah, we're a bit rude in that respect to prices. But, they'll be on sale as of 6pm tomorrow. Wednesday 20th June. Along with a few other TFs: Page 33.
