*facepalm*

Whoever wrote that article clearly never even watched the show.

We're getting that first wave of figures, and then a subsequent full toy line down the road.

I want that big green guy that Starscream awakens. As he had a lifespan of less than 15 minutes I doubt that'll happen.

If Hasbro is serious about making Prime toys, it will probably happen.

Depends on what other figure lines are released around the time of the TF:Prime figs, I may get them. I may not, who knows.

Not yet sure if i'm interested yet. I'm really liking the show, but on the other hand it would save a ton of money not to invest... besides, Starscream's arms look weird.

I'm enjoying the hell out of the show. If Beast Wars is my favorite, this is second in line. I'm definitely down for the toys.

Sometime in October I think it was.

I wants me a Skyquake.

Yeah, I don't see why not either. Blurr didn't exactly have a legit amount of screen time in Animated and received a toy.

Tigerhawk lasted about 15 minutes and he had a toy made. They won't pass up the chance to make Skyquake.

So long as I eventually get Cliffjumper and Ratchet, I'm good. Bulkhead would be nice too, but probably at a larger price point than I'm currently comfortable with. Other than maybe Starscream, the ones actually announced so far don't really do much for me. I mean, Bumblebee? YAWN

Really no Soundwave toy?
I feel tf fans don't give Soundwave some spotlight
Always starscream or megatron

To play devil's advocate here: Beast Wars Ravage never made it to the U.S., right? There are really no guarantees with Prime, but I'm hopeful, too.

That's true, but he still had a figure made even if it was only in Japan.

Hasbro tried to bring Transmetal (I guess?) Ravage over for the 10th Anniversary, but couldn't find the mold.

Just watched episodes 8-12 tonight. I'm amped up for toys again. Can't wait for Arcee. I love that she's a hit because she's an interesting character and not simply a novelty like G1 Arcee. I'm thinking Bulkhead should come with Scraplets.

Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:40 am

The show is really good and I love the way the toys look also. I will be collecting this line for sure. That Arcee is hands down the best motorcycle Arcee mold ever made. She looks awesome!

I know everyone is getting worn out on all the Bumblebee releases lately (myself included) but the TF Prime Bumblebee looks like the best BB robot mode of all. It doesn't have kibble hanging off every knee, thigh and forearm and he has a cool muscular look to him. Looks like he will be way more pose-able than the past releases. I personally really like the Prime BB mold.

Yes but the character is annoying as all bat crap. And I know how annoying that is because I found a bat in my bathroom the other day and he left a trail of crap getting there!
