The official transformers website has been updated to give us our first official look at the Unleashed figures for Optimus Prime and Megatron.

These figures will also be displayed at Botcon, which is going on at this very moment. While we wait for Ryan and the rest of the news crew out in the field to send us back photos, have a look here for images of these Unleashed figures for Prime and Megatron.

Neither one looks as good as Bumbleebees.

Megatron doesn't look half bad, but I'm still waiting for Starscream.

Megatron looks okay, but Optimus Prime??? Blech!!!!

wasn't the point of the Unleashed line up to make them look as real as possible, these look like toys...I'll pass..

I like Prime...that's the best pose we've seen for him.

Anyone notice how they made Megsy's hands more "normal"?

That was spooky...

I posted the story, only to see it had already been posted (it took long since I was making a new thumbnail of Megatron's head). So then I deleted my story... only to realise you had deleted yours, so we went from having two of the same story, to none.

Thankfully, I still had the text I had typed up with the links, so I didn't have to redo it.

I have a feeling I've seen images of that Prime before... Does he have the truck jumping off a cliff on the back?

Lame. Unfortunately, Rather Lame. I'll buy Bumblebee's; his is Awesome. The Robot Replicas make up for these...

These look nowhere as good as the Star Wars ones....

Yeah, we saw it on eBay awhile ago, these are our first in-package pics though, and Megatron has not be seen before either.

Out of the 3 Bumblebee looks the best. These are ok but no as good. It looks like they didnt put the same amount of effert into these as Bumblebee.

I'm an idiot. I didn't see the word 'Official' in the News Story title. My bad!

Wow, horrendous! How can this have gone so wrong?? Unleashed Star Wars were some of the best things Hasbro ever did!

I thought Prime transformed?

I saw a thread a while back, and well...

but in short, pass.

Yeah, I have Grievous and Vader, they're so detailed, works of art really... these just look too bland... Megs has no detail at all, those legs look like stumps.

prime looks decent.

I don't like these designs too much, but I sure would like to see some G1 unleashed.

Really a waste of space, unlike the Star Wars ones, but it's not like they could have done anythi..

Wait... Collector Maximus is right G1 would have been better to sculpt.
