Our friends at Hasbro have supplied us with the slides that were presented during the Transformers presentation earlier this month at NYCC. Check out the images below, highlights includes:

• A look at the upcoming "Movie Trilogy Line", which features the Wheeljack/Que Deluxe mold in more G1 inspired colors and head, Deluxe Soundwave repainted in Soundblaster colors, Deluxe Optimus Prime with Chronicle set trailer.
  
• Additional looks at the Transformers Prime Line, mainline and Cyberverse.
  
• Images of the NYCC exclusives

*drools over Prime toys*

Looking forward to them coming out.

so much want!!!!!!!!
must gets:
DOTM wheeljack
DOTM soundwave (deluxe and human alliance)
the only legion TF:prime set i want is wheeljack and his ship. but i am getting all the main transformers prime toys. and i do want that deluxe DOTM prime with the trailer.

loving the new prime sets. Don't really see the point to the movie trilogy stuff I'm getting tired of it.

both wheeljacks look pretty good but not 100% sold, the soundwaves look like crap and are an easy pass, white DOTM ratchet ill probably get since i dont have a white movie ratchet, legends with weapons is a cool idea just hope the price doesnt go up because of them, chromia(arcee) is the only one id consider buying, the rest is either just meh or bad. Was hoping the movie stuff would die down once prime came around, guess not. If they reissue some of the older molds then the trilogy line may not be bad but if its just newer stuff repainted its a waste of plastic. No word on the RTS figures that never got released at mass market i take it, never going to get wreckgar, windhcarger, or legends g1 megatron. Well not at a normal price that is, damn things are expensive on ebay.

Wheeljack Repaint = Awesome. Loving the new head
Bumblebee Repaint = Un-necessary

i wonder how much prime with his trailer is going to cost.

.. it would've been cool if they gave him a premium style paint job.. for his alt mode at least. but hey.. i'll take this. i have yet to own a movie prime with a trailer. i'll wait and see if the giant prime goes on clearance at some point. but this will be a good one to have for now.


i REALLY REALLY wish that there were stock images of voyager starscream in the slideshow. i really hope he turns out better than the deluxe (and i really like the deluxe).. but from what i've seen so far, the deluxe looks to be more show accurate.

and lastly.. i wish they had shown us a prime voyager megatron. i really hope they're not pulling the same **** they're pulling with dotm as in not giving us a leader megatron. so we better get a prime voyager.

Might get the OP with the trailer, definitely will get Wheeljack. Why are the Prime deluxe toys listed as Robots in Disguise wave 1? I thought that they were going to be wave 2 in the Prime line. Second question: is that the same Bumblebee that we get with the first wave of Prime toys?

the side panels on that wheeljack head look a little odd but ill stil get it but i wont hunt it down..but movie que/wheeljack on the other hand!!

I like the movie Prime w/ trailer and Soundwave. And I like all of the TF: Prime stuff

I'm sorta not feeling deluxe wheeljack. It's an amazing looking mould, but I think I actually prefer my Generations Wheeljack more. Hopefully they repaint/remould him into somthing else cool.
Diggin those vehicons... would make for a sweet army thats probably more in scale with other Decepticon jets, etc.

Nice that I'm not the only one who sees her as Chromia.

Finally!! Legends class size with weapos and you can store them on the Alt Mode prays has been listened

out of all those slides i only care for the redesigned que made to look like the REAL Wheeljack and that NYCC exclusive blaster.
the op w/ trailer would be better if it was leader class.

I wonder if Cliffjumper has two molds because "Robots in Disguise" is actually a new class, after all he and Soundwave have that tittle in the slide instead of the Deluxe Class tittle.

Not quite. Dark of the Moon was separated similarly into "Cyberverse" with Legion and Commander, and "Mechtech" with Deluxe and up. Prime has "Robots in Disguise" for the latter group.

I do too! I'm going to get two when the blue one comes out. One will be added to my Chromia collection, and the other will be painted purple and added to my Elita-1 collection. The NYCC Arcee will do just fine with my other versions of Arcee. I don't think Arcee can never be anything but pink, (nor Chromia anything but blue), but those colors are so closely associated with them it's hard to see a blue Fembot as anything but Chromia. If they'd come up with another color for Arcee altogether it'd be easier.

I was hoping for more Generations stuff personally, as I don't collect movieverse. I was under the impression that Generations sold quite well alongside last years post movie HFTD range?

I can however, see why they wouldn't want to "dilute" the Prime range, which has definitely piqued my interest. I'm not completely sold on the Cyberverse stuff yet, but the main line looks great. Can't wait for it to hit Europe.

I'm loving that deluxe prime w/trailer but i wonder if it can fit other deluxes inside it? if it can i'm sold. i reckon it'll cost around $25, but thats just a guess.
Did anyone else notice the new TFP bee and cj molds?

Very pleased with the Movie and Prime toys. Wheeljack (not Que) has a much more pleasing deco that makes the two nicely unique, and I'm glad I only got the evil Bumblebee of this line.

I wonder why the "main" Prime line is going with RID instead of saying deluxe? What will they call their planned voyagers? Unless... they're going to try only recognizing one grouping for the entire line and price them more flexibly, like Takara. Open the door to giving each character the deco they really need. Or they just felt like being cute

I really wish they'd just sell the Kreons.

I'm actually interested in the Prime cybververse, that's a surprise. Maybe it'e because most of the cast is getting the treatment. Except for Bumblebee (he looks like they retooled the movie version again).

I hear ya. I'd love to have a set of Kreons, but I won't buy another Kreo (or pay outragous ebay prices). I wasn't impressed with the Kreo I have :/ Jazz's shoulders fall off at the faintest of touch and are a royal pain to get back on -__- You'd think being lego's they'd just clip into place. But nooooo. -__- I'm seriously tempted to just super glue it down because I can't see myself ripping him apart for car mode.

Does Deluxe Prime w/ trailer remind anyone else of Armada Prime, or is it just me?

I'm not that interested in any of the movie-verse stuff.

I want to finish off the wrecker repaints (not pictured) and I kind of like the Soundblaster repaint. Other than that, I'm done with the movie-verse.

I'm getting more and more excited for the TF Prime figs, though.

That Deluxe Wheeljack is amazing! He may replace Classics Wheelack for me as the official update of the character on my shelf. Much like TFA Blur is my "official" Blur.

Again, only the Voyager trailer fits Deluxes. By logic, the Deluxe one can't.

Ratchet - I love the white Ratchet deluxe moovieverse repaint. Such a great mold for a little fig! i have both the green/white one and the red/white one... would love this one as well.

Bumblebee - No comment.

Soundwave - Not feeling this repaint at all. Need to get the original in hand first to judge the mold.. etc. But i am mostly looking forward to the Human Alliance version. does look as though the wheels are in the proper spot though... in the top of the neck like in the movie.

Optimus Prime - Love this walmart exclusive deluxe version of Prime. Looks great with Voyager Megs.

Wheeljack/Queue - definitely looks really good. i cant believe they actually remolded the head on this fig. looking forward to getting both versions.

Kreon stuff - pass

Prime Stuff:
Arcee Legion - must buy... i totally try to emulate scale in my collections. this Arcee will work for me.

deluxe cliffjumper - looks good and im sure ill buy it.

deluxe soundwave - not sure... should he big bigger? should i wait and hold out hope for a voyager class?

deluxe starscream - waiting for voyager

Bumblebee deluxe - will buy.

love the rest of the legions/commander class but trying to put a nice scale together so i will pass on most of these.

Probably because he's a red truck with a trailer.
