oh.. and everyone can go to bed now. there's really nothing new in the display cases.. other than air raids robot mode.. which i have a feeling not many people are going to like.

what a LAME preview night. this blows.

Though, now I have a question. Should I stop collecting DOTM toys so I can have more money to spend on these toys? Thus far, I've only picked up a few DOTM toys, and most of them have yet to impress me. The DOTM toys that have yet to come also don't sound that very appealing to me.

These Prime toys, however, have me fangasming to no end! They look fantastically magnificent... unlike the DOTM toys. So, should I drop the DOTM toyline in order to save up for the Prime toyline?

I will give you 3 answers.

YES

ABSOLUTELY

YOU WOULD BE INSANE NOT TO!

so you're going to tell him to save his money for a couple figures that aren't coming out for a few months? doesn't make much sense.

although.. the dotm line has become the definitive repaint line. so i don't blame you.

hasbro is really blowing this dotm line. we're going to have to wait SOO long for a new deluxe/voyager/leader mold from this line that it's absolutely ridiculous. the handling of this line has been atrocious... i was at target yesterday and a kid picked up the exclusive deluxe bumblebee and said to his mom "look mom, it's a new bumblebee, wait it just has a different design, that's stupid" then he dropped it on the shelf and left.

Admittedly there's not that much here for TF fans, but did you see Darksteel (cool repaint of Sideswipe with repainted versions of Starscream's MechTech weapons)? That guy looks ridiculously awesome from the (pretty blurry) pics I saw of him. I can't wait to see better pics because he definitely looks like a winner with cool colours and cool weapons. Air Raid on the other hand looks a little funky, but interesting.

O_O FANTASTIC.

Animated? You've just been replaced.

My only problem is Bulkhead's left arm. I'd really like a second hand for him, but I'll survive because this is just friggin' awesome.

Take a closer look, his hand is the a slot in his arm right under his mace.

Edit: Oops, said his arm is in the slot in his arm...

*GASP* It is! Awesome! Thank you!

Okay, this is just incredible. I'm so happy I could cry. These are so awesome, it hurts.

These look awesome! Im starting to get excited for this toyline.

And Im going to build a massive army with the con drone!! Now for the Jet drone please!!

by **MGrotusque** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 10:31 pm

I'm liking some of the Prime designs and these figures look very promising! The ones i'm looking forward to seeing most are:

Arcee- She is the best of the bunch so far in my opinion. I'll buy her in an instant.

Bulkhead- Low and behold here he is! was never much of a fan of him before but Prime seems to have done him some justice for sure. I'll pick him up too. Plus he seems to not be going away anytime soon anyways. Great alt mode too.

Archnid- Could we get a triple changer out of her??

BREAKDOWN- i want him to be massive and brutal looking when they release him.I love his alt mode too. I hope he becomes a big player as the show progresses. He's been indicated as such by Starscream anyways.

I hate to say it but BB gets some honourable mention from me as well. He's no longer an annoying little child dork-bot but an actual scout with skills that gets **** done (somewhat). and the Prime design of him looks great. IMO

Damn, am I gonna have a hard time telling the boys that we can't buy these when they are in stores (Santa will be making that purchase)!

by **blotbot** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 10:34 pm

I wasn't too excited about these before but after the Starscream review and these... =P~

the drone is cool but theres way to much back kibble primes ok but the arms look a little to big for the figure the rest are a pass. I do like Cliffjumpers alt mode but the robot mode is crap. So far there isnt one TFP figure thats a must have for me.

Cliff is mistransformed in that image.

It took me about 20 minutes, but I finally managed to clean off my keyboard. So yeah, nice toys.

by **Nujevad** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 10:46 pm

Based on the show designs, Cliffjumper's chest should split apart and it seems like the toy can do the same, it just wasn't done during the photo session.

The Voyagers are looking pretty good, can't wait to see more.

by **WarGraver** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 10:49 pm

They are all very nice, but Optimus is the only one I want.

Now where is my fabulous Knockout toy?

by **retrothomas** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 10:50 pm

I can scarcely contain my glee! Let them come to stores already!!!

by **TheDownshift** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 10:59 pm

That Vehicon.... so beautiful... I must draw him like one of my French girls!

by **Shockwavelogical** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 11:08 pm

ummmm.......I'm speechless...just like the show they are FRICKIN AWESOME!!!!!!.....okay got that out.....time to start making a whole new part in my room simply for the Prime toys!

News Credits: 1 · by **YRQRM0** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 11:08 pm

NOICE! Vehicon is a little off...and I'll take non-zombie cliffjumper. I hope there's a wheeljack, Breakdown, etc.

wowsah! my first credit!

i feel special...

lol...

Does anyone else notice the Cliffjumper is mis-transformed???

News Credits: 1 · by **rpetras** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 11:09 pm

I have to say this changes things for me.

I was planning to skip out on most of this line, but with Prime, Bulkhead, and the Vehicon all looking awesome, I may be picking this up.
