Well the fourth panel of Autobot August was about Combiner Wars but it didnt work with the rest of the RID news and it was just 1/4 with 0 deluxes. I will post the pic later.

How do you know that?

But G1 was targeted at little kids back then by selling toys of Optimus, Jazz, Bumblebee and Sideswipe, among others, based on a show that was on air. And what are they doing now? Targeting little kids by selling toys of Optimus, Jazz, Bumblebee and Sideswipe, among others, based on a show that is on air. So in a way, toysrus is keeping the good old G1 tradition alive
And Hasbro wont stop saying that its all about getting new fans. For some kids out there, this is their G1 and I am glad TRU still sees TFs as an event worth promoting 30 years later.

Also, I rarely every see any of our local TRUs that well stocked. I don't own a Prime mold yet, so the Clash version may be the one.
Word of advice, while the paint apps on this prime (and the sideswipe) are Takara quality (hence why they seem right at home in japan), the mold really blows. The transformation is far too simplistic for the legs and you can clearly tell it is his robot legs in vehicle mode. And that is a shame because every other vehicle mode in this series rocks!!! Also, I really cant stand the lackluster articulation, there are only so many poses you can do. And his head doesnt snap up so it recedes whenever you touch it. I only paid 10$ for it and if it werent for the very nice paint apps, I would feel totally ripped off.
