CNN has posted a video clip called "2008 Toy Trends" in which a Hasbro representative reveals some of the new Hasbro toys for 2008, which includes some new items not seen before, including a new handheld game as a quick glimpse at a new Transformers Animated Megatron figure, presumably his earth mode which, according to
previous reports, is some sort of V-22 Osprey-like helicopter.
See the video clip
by clicking here (the Transformers segments begins at about the 50 seconds mark)

The Megatron toy looks very good although that man didn't at least held him in his hand so we could see it better.

The Prime seems much larger now that I've seen comparison
pics next to real people.
And Dead Metal, I'll only vote for you if you DO
eat that baby rabbit thing.

the perspective from that film is rather odd, it makes relative sizes difficult to determine. megs looks small but when the guys hand comes down near it you see how large it is. some weird things though (note that there is an edit, we miss them showing prime and bulkhead) bulkhead is not the voyager toy we know, his feet have joints and he has guns on his arms, also he at first has some type of purple helmet on his head! maybe these are prototypes/test shots?? prime looks glossy like the earlier shots we say of the toys.

Are you sure it's Bulkhead and not his Decepticon counterpart Lugnutz?

No, the yellow thing is a Movie Bumblebee Arm Blaster.
Megatron was the black and gray figure standing in the middle of the table.

no its a osprey which is basically a hybrid of a helicopter and plane definitely a Voyager figure....in the vid you can just make out the blades I think...but its hard to say...they could have made it similar to a v-tol/harrier type....you can also make out a gun and a sword which looks sweet...
yeah I think that the bulkhead figure and prime is definitely closer to leader class especially the prime...

Credits go to CNN like they should as I see it, if you found it earlier you should have A: had the decency to start a thread for it or B: PM a member of the news crew.

So either this fella has no idea of Hasbro's release schedule, or Hasbro has played us all for fools once again...
I really dont care, as long as I can have me some Animated toys!
