While Transformers fans from North America and Asia have had the pleasure of owning the 'First Edition' Transformers: Prime toys, it is far from the actual line. Our German friends at NTF-Archive.de have given us a little preview of what is to actually come from the main Prime toy line. The following can be seen below;

Voyager Prime - Light Effects Prototype
Deluxe Bumblebee - Robots In Disguise 'Second' Version
Cyberverse Commander Megatron
Cyberverse Legends/Legion Vehicon, Ratchet, Cliffjumper, Arcee and Bumblebee
Cyberverse Vehicle Playset (Wheeljack with ship)

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.

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.

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

News Credits: 10 · by **gavinfuzzy** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 6:58 am

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.

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

by **Jiah** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 8:53 pm

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.
