Amazon.com has posted two new pre-order pages for two larger releases. One we had heard about, the other is a surprise.

Once Bruticus has begun on a path of destruction, no force in the known universe can stop him.
Product Dimensions: 4 x 12.5 x 12.5 inches

The next one is pretty interesting, it's labelled as Transformers Optimus Prime Jetwing Movie Deco - Amazon Exclusive, a Hasbro release of TakaraTomy's DOTM Jetwing Optimus Prime.

I've been thinking about getting a Jetwing Prime, but didn't want to spend $200 on the thing, so this is great news.

As for Bruticlus, I might go with this one over the SDCC version. It's cheaper, and I love delightfully bad G2 color schemes.

Wow, I was NOT expecting G2 FOC Bruticus to be so cheap! I preordered that bad boy so fast! It's going to look kick ass on my Neo G2 shelf

I also think it's cool we Americans will finally have a chance at Jetwing Prime. I'd buy it, but I already have the black version.

I just applied for an amazon gift card and they took 30 bucks off! I got this guy for around $30 hell yah. I wasn't going to pay a hundred for him since I have the fans project bruticus. I really hope the packaging is cool so I can just keep his sexy G2 ass in there.

Still no Jetwing love for the U.K. then....

Can anyone tell me any major differences between this Optimus and the Leader version, apart from the attachable wings and pea shooters?
He looks very similar.

I wonder what has happened to the G1 redeco of Leader Ironhide? :-?

I was on the fence about Bruticus but that price won me over. I don't even mind the G2 color scheme, especially since the normal release Bruticus looks just as gaudy.

We desperately need him here, will we get him? No, probably not. Thanks a lot Hasbro.

Compared to the ROTF leader prime: he has a new chest/abdomen sculpt and his arms have been remolded to accommodate his cannons and as a result he looses his retractable blades.

He looks very similar.

He has a retooled abdominal piece, wind shield pieces and has the blades eliminated. The result looks more accurate to the third movie, plus facilitates transformation.

Any time. As a little bonus, Leader Striker Optimus with the MechTech gear uses the same mold, with the gas tanks retooled. If you want just the Leader mold, it's either or, as the Jetpower's wings can't fit on Striker.

No problem. Also, his crotch has a slight retool, so he now has a small 'knob' sticking out (I kid you not).

Interesting. Considering Amazon Unicron was released in Canada at TRU, I wonder if something similar may happen with these. Jet Wing Prime is a little too expensive for my taste, but he sure does look cool. Bruticus would have to wait until I see pics of the final product.

Looks like either both sold out in a matter of 30 minutes, or they put these up in error, and we are all gonna get "sorry this item...blah blah blah"

I ordered Jet_prime, I have the Takara, but for 100$, I'll take another one.
I hope I can still pick up the Brute, for that price. That was a steal, Wish I would have paid more attention.

G2 needs more love. I'm not finding anything on Amazon now so I think this might have been a screw up on their end. Maybe they were supposed to wait until after SDCC? When it's available again, I'm getting one!

Seriously though, I grew up with G2 and from the time this was first announced I've been pumped for it! My favorite Swindle ever needs a buddy! Swindle forever!

I... I never got a TF that was sold out on the first day before. What do I do? Have a party? |:|

I honestly think there were errors involved, this news hit here first, and hasn't yet reached the Mass of other TF sites. Plus

Posted by xyl360 on July 6th, 2012 @ 11:52am CDT

Wow, that sold out quick. It will likely be just like when Unicron went up. Amazon will bring it up for preorder once more when they verify more stock or whatever so I'm not too worried about it.

Did get a G2 Bruticus. Not surprised it went quickly, but I still find it pretty weird if that makes sense. Does Amazon restrict quantities? I'm sure some stores jumped on that...

Would love to get Jetwing Prime, but I'll skip it. Not a huge movie fan - just like the guns.

Let's see how SDCC shapes up. Zomblejumper first; Bruticus second.

I am starting to really dislike amazon exclusives.... every time I see one I want they sell out almost instantly, and my life does not allow me the ability to watch the site like a hawk in case a new exclusive comes out. I did that with unicron and still wasn't quick enough! Then it seems like some of those who got their pre order turn around and scalp it.

No. Everything about this just screams "AMERICA F@#K YEAH!!!" This is a middle finger (and two arm mounted mini-guns) to every real TF fan. I can't spew enough Bay hate to wipe clean the flames off Optimus and the botched abortion that they call "Jetfire."
I mean seriously- look at this figure. It's a punchline to a bad joke.

"Hey! Let's throw flames on Optimus, turn Jetfire into an unrecognizable geriatric pile of shit with a Scottish brogue armed with a sheleighleigh- and turn his ass into a backpack! Why? because, F@#K you!"

"But sir, we need more military style weaponry! How's about we slap not one, BUT TWO! mini-guns on Optimus!"

"Brilliant! Promote this man!"

...and this is pretty much what I've come to expect from anything having to do with the Transformers as envisioned by Bay.

If that's the case, next time just be cool. Reread everything you write before hitting Submit because at first I thought you were being a troll. If it's not for you, that's cool but there's no need to go ape on it.

Had both of these pre-ordered at 10am EST this morning. I have had D-28 Striker since it was 1st released, and I have wanted Jetwing Prime for a while, but it was too much until now.... :KREMZEEK:

.

As for the FOC Bruticus, I am planning to get the regular set too, but this was too good a deal to pass up. Even without actual photos. We all know what each figure looks like by now and as for G2 colors we all know those too.

Hasbro has really been surprising me recently with what seems to be a little more fan and collector focus this year. Please keep it up.

I agree with you on the fact that Amazon exclusives sell out fast. It's because so many people have accounts with them and so many people shop on Amazon.
When Unicron came out it was mayhem to say the least. I can't remember exactly, but it sold out several times, and I don't remember it even being offered for per-order either.
I did finally get him the morning of the 2nd day of his release, and he finally sold out that day.

I got lucky this morning as I check the TF news and forums each morning before I get ready for work. When I saw the post, i knew it was going to go fast, so i jumped on it. Seems most of the good news happens in the morning or late in the evening.

I hope you get yours man. I can't stand the scalpers either, but everyone these days is trying to make a buck anyway they can. It's the darker side of our hobby. Demand = Scalpers.

I tried to jump on the Bruticus since about a half an hour after it was first posted but every single time I go to it there is no photo, price, and the item is no longer available. Then I keep reading about other people who ordered it successfully after all the times it's told me their not the droids I'm looking for. What the hell is going on? :BOOM:

EDIT: Searching "G2 Bruticus" gets no hits and "Transformers Bruticus" has everything but this thing. Seriously, an Urban Fiction book and Predaking come up but not this FoC Bruticus!

I wonder if it's just going to be a repackage of the Japanese Jetwing Prime or if there will be any plastic color or paint variations. >:oP

I hope it's different, otherwise I'm gonna have to throw it up on ebay.

Huzzah!!

I've been wanting JW Prime for a very long time, but the $200.00 and up price tag was always a bit daunting. I set up my pre-order on the night this posting came out since $104.00 with free shipping is MUCH easier on the pocketbook. Once again I'm glad I waited!

I wonder when it will actually be ready to ship? :???:

Question: Does Jet-Prime have the ROTF Buster Prime feature of his tanks turning into guns? Or does he have the normal ROTF swords? Or something else entirely?
