IceMagnus over at TFW2005 ran into a new Walmart exclusive Live action Transformers films box set. The collection includes all four Micheal Bay-produced movies on blu-ray, a digital download code, and a legion class toy! Strangely enough, this toy is actually a repackaged Transformers Prime Cyberverse figure! Not a remake, or a redeco, just straight new old stock. The two confirmed variants out there are one with Bumblebee and one with Prowl, although there are rumors of versions featuring Soundwave and Optimus Prime out there.

oh wow. a bunch of crappy movies (and one ok one) bundled with a figure you can probably find on ebay for like $6. what a bargain.

It's strange the way the Prime Cyberverse line has become filler for Movieverse. These things, the first wave of the TLK mainline, even AoE made a bit of use of them.

I figure it's just they don't want to spend a lot on making new legions, and Cyberverse is both the most recent set of molds and the best match for the movie aesthetic.

Soundwave confirmed.

Not to mention free from any kind of licensing

From the looks of it the figures are pooled from the first two waves of Prime: Beast Hunters. Shame, I wanted to have a chance at Bluestreak, Divebomb, Rot Gut and Ace Vehicon.

If I hadn't just gotten the TRU movies i would probably hunt this down since I don't have either figure. It's a great bargain if you want the movies in physical form with a fun little cyberverse figure.

Yeah, at my Walmart I saw these with Soundwave in them.

You've peaked my interest. Well, that is if they go on sale for under $10 so I don't have to get Ravenspar for this mold.

I found one with soundwave

I was just in Walmart about an hour ago, and no such thing was there.

Not that I'd have gotten it anyway. Judging by the cover this is the same set (maybe in different packaging but the "art" is the same) Sam's was selling around Christmas time the year AOE came out and my mom gave me that set (and I still haven't gotten around to watching any of them again, since I already saw them).

The only fancy displays I saw in movies was for Lego Batman. Some sort of lunch box comes with the movie.

Remember back when we had that sighting of the new Transformers Live Action Movie Box Set, and the sets definitely included a repainted Prime Legends Bee and Prowl, with a rumored Soundwave and Prime? Well, while we still cannot confirm the Prime sighting, thanks to your truly, we have proof of the Soundwave variant existing! The set includes the 4 movies on Blu-Ray, a download code, and the figure, and can be found for $25.96. Head on out and check them out, and don't forget that the new movie hits big screens now!

And I realised something I should have done sooner: Optimus Prime couldn't be part of that set. Why? They're all Legion Class, while Optimus Prime is a slightly bigger Command Class.

I said I found the set with Soundwave a week ago. I guess my word means nothing.

I'm sorry, I wasn't in this thread so I hadn't read your find

OK, my statement may have come off a bit harsh. I meant it to be sarcastic, not totally douche-y. Apologies. But I did find the set with Soundwave on Tuesday the 13th.

Via Tower Records, we have a cute ad poster for their rerelease of all four Transformers movies on Blu-Ray and DVD! The poster features the upcoming Takara Caliber Optimus Prime, with sword and shopping bag in hand. Check it out below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Tower records still exists? Interesting.

Damn! I use to work at tower back in the day before they closed down... didnt know they were still active in other countries

Prime really does hog all the case covers eh? I think when TLK comes out on DVD/BR it should have COGMAN or Sqweeks on the cover.

The most interesting thing about this article is I just learned Tower Records is still around

Could've sworn I just saw some documentary the other day about it's downfall thanks to Napster and other online audio sources.
