The Energon Pub

Today we can show you the first pictures of the regular first wave to the transformers Prime figures. On the pictures can be seen:

Voyager Optimus Prime - he is with light effects, so that it looks like he would flooded of Energon.
Cyberverse Commander Megatron.
Deluxe Bumblebee.
Legends Vihicon, Ratchet, Cliffjumper, Arcee and Bumblebee - the legends figures will come with transparent weapons.
Cyberverse Commander set - Commanderstation with a legends figure, on the picture you can see the Wheeljack set. He comes with a Sword.
A Transformers Prime Mask is also announced (no picture yet).

The expected release date is in February.

It wouldnt be Hasbro without the silly gimmick weapons only a kid could love...

I can't wait to see photos of the actual figures. The new OP sounds interesting. Though, did you notice the vehicle mode protype photo they're showing is the DOTM Voyager mold?

And the Cyberverse figures are all really impressing me, too. I thought the DOTM Cyberverse line was aweful, save for a few Commanders (Powerglide, Hatchet, Guzzle). But even the smaller size classes look great for this line. Can't wait! Still haven't seen any First Editions in my area. >.>

da fug?

I almost want them to release an Optimus Prime toy in those exact colours. Maybe if there's a time-travel episode where they go back to the 90s. Or if Raf drops acid.

Well it is the kids that give them the most money...

Not interested in the Legends sized figs for this line.

Mechtech weapons,eh?

if that prime is gonna have a stupid mech tech weapon then i am getting the first edition prime. and bulkhead because god knows they will mess with that one too.

Wheeljack looks awesome!

Hpefully hasbro in 2012,doesn't remove the TF prime bulkhead voyager & voyager prime toys from the regular TF Prime 2012 line. these better not be "first edition" exclusives.

I'd be upset,if I have to pay ebay "profit sellers" prices for the TF Prime voyagers bulkhead & voyager prime toys I saw at botcon 2011,SDCC 2011 & NYCC 2011.

I honestly don't want to buy differently sculpted TF prime voyagers of prime & bulkhead. I liked the ones I saw at fan convention in 2011 & want to buy them.

I don't care what hasbro does with the first edition TF prime deluxes in 2012 cuz I ain't buying no TF prime deluxes nor basics/cyber-verse playsets/minicons.

these days the only new deluxe molds I buy comes from the fan catered TF toy lines like generations/RTS/Classics.

I'll pick up the RiD Bumblebee and maybe Legends Arcee but that's about it.

that Wheeljack and ship look cooler and cooler every time i see it

I agree, but my parts box is getting mighty full.

A second Voyager Optimus mold? I still haven't found the first one yet.

The 2nd prime mold seems to be basically a simplified prime with a mechtech. Judging from the translucent plastic in the prototype, the light gimmic is probably in the hand, like in armada prime, so he can make his mechtech light up.

Well i really don't see the point in making new molds for characters, especially since the 1st prime was already great. They could get around to making Breakdown, Ironhide or the Arial vehicons ...

Repaint, and used DotM mold for showcasing the vehicle mode.

You know, let me try something... Shoot, it's not inverted colors at all! Maybe just a prototype?

Light up Voyagers? I guess if they can do it without ruining transformation and articulation, okay...

You should upgrade. I got myself a multi-cell toolbox organizer. It fits every spare bit I got with the exception of the PCC limbs. It's a wonderful thing.

you could get an old toaster for those?

I Had an Idea for toy robots baring a VERY Strong likeness to that first optimus.
Maybe I'll share the whole Idea someday.

Honestly, this does look disappointing to me. The First Edition figures look amazing, and I want the series to resemble that. Legends in particular tend to ruin the Transformers line for me, I'd prefer if Hasbro just focused on making quality figures on the correct scale, instead if making things complex by giving so many different scales.

They rock I hope they someday create a supreme class omega supreme and a supreme astrotrain to battle him

We have some additional information on the Transformers Prime solicitations that appeared earlier this month courtesy of Full Metal Hero. It appears the Voyager size figures with the light-up features are known as "Powerizers". They've also posted images of the new "Bot Shots" figures. Lastly it sounds like the UK can expect the Transformers Prime line to launch ahead of schedule in February rather than the previously reported March. Images and pricing info mirrored below.

Cyberverse Legion RRP - £4.99
Cyberverse Comnnader - RRP £8.99
Bot Shots - RRP £3.99
Powerizers -RRP £24.99
Revealers ( Formerly Deluxe ) - RRP £12.99

That prime looks somewhat like Grimlock.

Interesting concept on the Powerizers (sounds like a Power Ranger morpher call out. "Powerizers, power up!")



Recognized as Bashbots, but who is the tank and police car? Galvatron and Barricade?
