Continue to see our [url=http://www.seibertron.com/events/event.php?event_id=238]SDCC 2012 Coverage[/url] through the eye of our high-res lens as we move on to Hasbro's [url=http://www.seibertron.com/events/gallery.php?event_id=241&size=0&start=0]Transformers Prime[/url] toy display. Most notably displayed is the rather cold looking villain and denizen of the Pirate faction, the Voyager class toy, Thundertron. We also get looks and packaging images for the two newest figures coming out in Deluxe Wave 5, Sergeant Kup and Decepticon Rumble!

DVDS to justify raising the price I see...

News Credits: 7 · by **TulioDude** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 11:09 pm

Nice galleries!

Kup looks nice!
But i wonder why they did him before Ironhide? :-?

Its just me or he is smiling?

Rumble looks cool,with a misterious and menacing way.
Definitely someone who you would want for your Decepticon collection.

Thundertron is very impressive.Such a imposing figure.
I always think is impressive when you cant exactly say what Transformers transforms into,and this figure did this to me.
Nice detail with his faction symbol.

Man,that Weaponizers Optimus Prime looks better every time i look at him.

Awesome!

No mention of Soundwave (or Frenzy) in Rumble's bio... In fact, it's a pretty bland one.
The figure itself looks good, though.

Nice Photos Ryan..

moire figures that I'll never see due to hasbros awesome distribution methods :ic$:

Rumble's altmode color scheme reminds me of that of Armada Sideswipe.

Rumble looks interesting; even comes with a DVD, Hasbro version at least.

Weaponizer OP might be worth a look. Not crazy about the shoulder cannons, but if the Takara version replaced that with a more complex arms micron, I'd consider buying one. What worries me if the amount of back kibble he has.

and the price goes up once again, **** you hasbro. Since when does putting a dvd in the package justify raising the prices? They never did that before, greed pure and simple. On another note thundertron looks awesome and dreadwing doesnt look half bad, thankfully voyagers are still $20 so i might pickthen up. Thundertron is the only must buy on my list right now, there would be others but you all know how i feel about the current pricing structure and that prevents me from adding anything else.

Gotta wait until October for Thundertron?!?!?! :BANG_HEAD:

Can't...wait...that...long. Am sooooooo going to turn him into Leo Prime though! :grin:

getting all but Kup is a maybe. might wait for ironhide.

OMG, that Kup is severely mistransformed. Look at the card art, that resembles the rather awesome little Cyberverse Ironhide. The front of the vehicle should come down over his shoulders like shoulder pads. Also, the left arm has the wheel in front of it, it should be behind like the right arm. Why does Hasbro always hire Mr Magoo to transform their products for shows like this and Botcon?

What's with Thundertron's face?

Is that a mask or something?

But yes, him and Dreadwing/Skyquake. Nom nom nom.

Thundertron - what an odd looking contraption! :lol:

Why has Kup got Ironhides head? Is this going to be another mold share?

I am liking the look of Rumble but his massive shoulder kibble could be annoying once in hand? :-?

Between the new Prime and FoC figures, I feel I wont be bothering to grab the complete lines, just a select few...?

Im off to claim my MP Thundercracker pre-order payment back today from Toys R Us so I might quiz them on the release dates/availability of the FoC lines!

Kup better be mistransformed... the chest looked better in prototypes... With the headlight on his collar...

His left hand is also screwed up with the wheel the wrong way... Who puts this on display? :lol:

Also, no sign of Thundertron's lion mode? Maybe no one could transform him. :lol:

Seems like the thing on top of his head is a mask, much like HFTD Fallen's one.. Except it hinges down and hides his tentacles...

Why dilute the line with figures that aren't in the cartoon? I just want to complete the cast. If these figures stop me getting the ones I want I'll be very annoyed.
