Prime looks great, but I hate how the chest is another cheat. Is it so hard to make the actual windshield his chest?

Because IGN simply got their hands on the Terrorcon Cliffjumper pic first.

It's got more to do with the highly stylized character designs than a feet of engineering. The show glosses over the size shifting and parts working their way to other parts of their body and changing shape while transforming. The windows for his vehicle mode would simply be too small for his robot mode, and not shaped right.

I don't like OP in general, buy that toy is a must have. Guess I better start saving, because I will be buying 90% of this line. This is so exciting to finally see something new after so long. Just a shame there's no knockout or Soundwave pics.

They need a Cliffjumper that can be pulled in half with gooy looking robo-guts.

Totally in love with these. What can I sell to free up $$ for these? Hmmm. My unopened TRU Exclusive Animated Arcee perhaps? Hmmm...

I won't be collecting the Prime line, but I will be getting a few figures from it to put with my Classics figures. Of these, I'll be getting Bulkhead, the Vehicon (awesome vehicle mode), and Cliffjumper (the normal version rather than the zombie one). I'll probably use Cliffjumper as Windcharger, since the vehicle mode and colors work well and I don't have or want the RTS Windcharger figure since it's so small.

wow... How did they get optimus so accurate? .. I've got to say ... that is one of the best looking and most accurate (To the screen content) optimus primes that I have ever seen .. He along with ALLLL of these guys (maybe not cliffjumper) are an instant buy on sight. So excited

Thu Jul 21, 2011 3:43 pm

Lookin pretty cool.
I'm sure these figures are not nearly as well transformed/posed as they can be.
Bulkhead seems to have some pretty tiny legs... I don't know if I dig that too much, might want to wait for more pics. That Vehicon is pretty cool though, even though i'm sure its legs are all messed up from transformation. Only 2 I shall probably get other than Arcee and maybe Starscream.

The toys are still looking great (not Photoshopped) at SDCC. Unfortunately it seems Hasbro will never learn to stop using that horrible dull light-grey plastic seen on Voyager Prime, but other than that they're great. As expected, regular CJ looks even better than zombie CJ.

Share pics if you can, broski.

I will for sure be getting the Starscream, and maybe the Prime. But when are the Knock Out, Breakdown, and Wheeljack toys be coming out? They had better get toys, if "zombie Cliff Jumper" is getting one.

Anyone else notice that Cyberverse Ironhide? He looks to be a modified Movie design to fit into Transformers Prime. I approve if this is the case. :APPLAUSE:

^ Looks that way. I like it, but I hope he's red. Or maybe I just need to start thinking of Bayverse 'Hide as a different character.

Sorry I meant they're showing the toys there, not that I am there... Just saw them on TFW is all. :oops:

Eh...they're okay. I hate the show, and the designs are like poor attempts at fusing the movie and Animated aesthetics. I think I'd rather spend my money on Dark of the Moon and Generations.

I've got to agree, regular Cliff looks a lot better than Zombie CJ. It will be nice having a Bumblee & Cliffjumper in the same line that aren't repaints of one another. I really wanted to skip this line but I don't think that is happening.

Come to think of it, Breakdown should make a cool looking figure too. Sort of surprised that zombiecon CJ was even made, must less released in the first wave. Wonder if he might be an exclusive for someplace or maybe just a serious shortpack variant of the normal CJ?

Pictures of Arcee were released like 5 or 6 months ago. Google then and you should find them. They released them along side of pics of Deluxe class Megatron, Optimus, Bumblebee, and Starscream who are all the first wave of Prime figures. What you see here is Wave 2.

Thanks for the info! Arcee looks awesome. Also, thanks SabrBlade for posting the Arcee pic

I am going to be so broke this fall... Transformers Prime and Generations lines both to keep up with.

Fri Jul 22, 2011 3:26 am

I'm only interested in Bulkhead and the Vehicon so far. I don't usually buy more than 1 version of a figure so Prime, Cliffjumper etc. will likely never see my shelves.

News Credits: 1 · Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:11 am

I've just seen pics of Voyager Skyquake, Deluxe Knockout and Wheeljack plus Deluxe Soundwave and I have to say Skyquake looks very Acurate =P~

Fri Jul 22, 2011 8:28 pm

Deluxe Zombie Cliff Jumper and Vehicon, for CERTAIN!!! Where and when? Not conference exclusives, I hope?

Did Skyquake weild a sword? I recall him using a Minigun.

I intend to buy all of these. This whole line is just...

Prime

I wouldn't quite call it "mini".

But, no, he had no sword. I guess it's just one more piece of his arsenal.

I hope he comes with a chaingun. Color him red/blue, give him a Russian accent and call him the Heavy! 8-}
