According to Full Metal Hero Hasbro UK is currently listing the Transformers Prime toy-line for wholesalers. The products currently listed are:

• Prime Deluxe Assortment
• Prime Voyager Assortment
• Prime Entertainment Pack
• Prime Role Play Blaster.

Usually we would advise you to take this with a pinch of salt, however, the post is made by Red Leader, owner of the UK based retailer "Kapow-toys". No word on when the line will be available.
Red Leader also Mentions that the SDCC Transformers exclusive for this year's SDCC is going to be a Transformers Prime deluxe Optimus Prime with Matrix.

I really look forward to this. I don't care what anyone says, Prime will be cool.

Although he doesn't post here, Red Leader is usually bang on the money, especially for those on the UK collecting scene.

If anything in this news is unreliable, I would suggest it's he fact it comes from Hasbro UK.....!!

Cheers Skywarp I'm still here just dont have much time to post these days.

You will want to edit the news story as it states hasbro are taking pre-orders which isnt correct, its just listings at the moment with TBA status so nobody can place anything yet

Great to be here and thanks again!

I'm interested to know why we've known about the GI Joe SDCC for months and the first we hear from it is far from the normal channels.

Either way I'm still iffy on collecting the TF: Prime figures so I suppose I'll need to see more pics first.

If that rumour is true about the SDCC Exclusive then it's good news for me as I don't collect Transformers Prime figures. If it had been a G1 reissue or a Classics repaint I would have been very tempted to shell out the cash.

Last year was probably the best ever year for SDCC Exclusives but apart from the Star Wars set, GI Joe/Transformers crossover, the 18 inch giant figure (forgot the name but same size as Galactus) and the Indiana Jones set all of which I would love to get but won't the announced exclusives haven't really set the world alight. In other words only Hasbro's have looked good to me.

Thanks editing that.

Currently nobody collects TFPrime figures, well apart from the WFC figures in Generations.

I don't plan to get any of these. I wish they had put a series together in support of the Universe 2.0/Generations/Reveal the Shield toylines. In fact, I'd love it even more if they condensed the number of toylines down to only 3: Movie line, non-movie line, and War For Cybertron.

??? I thought we knew it was going to be October 2011?

[DJLazer]

I need a deluxe class or voyager class TF:PRIME Soundwave!

[BATTOUSAIXD]

It would be nice to get those TF: Prime figures out sooner this year rather than later, because I'm really looking foward to them. And I hope they do a leader class Prime and Megatron and not just deluxe and voyagers.

[Skywarp64]

I hope they make Prime Knockout, I've grown to like the character.
