The Energon Pub

Thanks to our friends down under at Australian fansite Ozformers we have images and news from the Australian Toy Fair. For the most the figures and merchandise on display was already revealed at the previous UK and US Toy Fairs, but we do get a few new looks at various packaging, promo art, and some new licensed products.

According to their write-up we expect at least five of Evolution 2-packs in two Class sizes. The larger size will include the previously revealed Grimlock set and an Optimus Prime set. The small size sets will include Bumblebee, Stafe, and Slug. The Transformers: Dark of the Moon Leader Class Bumblebee will also see a reissue in Generations style packaging. Additional images and their full report can be found by clicking here.

I'm actually looking forward to these 2-packs, hopefully it will give me a chance to get interesting figures I missed.

On the Left is "Optimus Prime Evasion Voyager".
On the right is "Optimus Evasion Leader class"???

Is it me or to the Rescue Dinobots look really tiny? Like, compared to the Minicon 2-packs, they look to be only slightly larger than those instead of the same size as the full-sized transformable figures that came out before them.

are the leader class Grimlock and Evasion Optimus Prime from Hasbro or Takara?

I'm assuming Hasbro, I believe Australia gets Transformers from Hasbro.

Yeah, there's no Takara stuff at this event.

I'd expect us (the US) to get all this because not everything we are sure to get was displayed at NY toyfair. Besides, I expect a lot more to came from this movie

Are we really go to ignore the fact of how **** scary Scorn looks?! He looks like total nightmare fuel!

I don´t think we´ve seen that art for Scorn before. It looks great.

He's plain awesome and the fanboy in me wants him in as many size classes as possible!

Nice use of Seibertron.com's photos in this t-shirt ...



Wow that really irks me.

Optimus is like "DO YOU EVEN LIFT?!"

I'm going to have to get all dem Dinobots. Not too sure on anyone else yet, but those Dinobots are an easy choice for me. I'm loving the way Scorn looks.

I fail to see what's so special about Scorn's design. Are people just really that into the idea of another Raptor TF?

Scorn is a Spinosaurus.

Right. Forgot that it was the blue toy that had the feathers, while the red toy had the back fin.

To be pedantic, Scorn should be at least as tall as Grimlock if current scientific scales are to be believed. Likewise Slash should be either smaller than any other, or be reassigned to the bigger Deinonychus or the even bigger Utahraptor genus.

Eh, Jurassic Park ruined paleontology like Hasbro ruined scale

i still can't get over the dumb colors they used for all of the dinobots.. it's pretty lame.
