Hasbro Images from Hong Kong Ani-Com & Games 2011

ooh! Sideburn pics! cant wait for him to show up!

Don't remember seeing that black Prime before. Still looks like crap though. Needs more teal and red windshields...

I need Jetwing OP so he can stand next to Ultimate!

Awesome looking display!

Speaking of the Botcon Stunitcons.... where is that combining armor???? I thought pics surfaced of a silhouette trailer and combined mode? What happened to this?

u shouldn't have to be a millionaire just to afford these overly priced toys. what the hell is the matter with u Hasbro and Takara. U ought to be ashamed of yourselves but u wont. My favorite childhood dream has now become the greatest nightmare. I am 32 years old and i still haven't got my dream of owning the original G1 Optimus Prime. What does that say for your company. U so disrespected G1 fans who made your company. Pls everyone who reads this side with me and don't defend these glutinous companies who take take take and never give back. I have a collected my share of Transformers at a heavy cost and i am so frustrated at the direction that Transformers r going i feel like taking all them putting them in a pile trowing gas on them and igniting them. Hasbro and Takara ruined my dreams. I am so financially disadvantaged that these prices keep me out of the market. It shouldn't be that way. American Dream has now become the American Nightmare because of greedy corporate companies who care about profits instead of respecting the first rule of business and that is the customers come first.

i really hop they release the retooled rotf optimus prime w/ the new abs. i don't want the giant jetwings, i just want the figure. i never got the chance to pick up the rotf leader prime, so im really hoping.

I believe we can expect more info and hopefully pics this weekend from TFcon since they are having a third party panel. Fingers crossed.

Third party products are notorious for delays and lack of info on them I think all we know is that its under development.

I'm not entirely sure what you are ranting about, but the G1 prime has been released many many times. Hasbro's own 25th anniversary edition was going for 30 for 40 bucks back when it was on clearance shelves. Ebay has some of them for as low as 8 bucks.

If you are talking about an original 1985 version well then neither Hasbro nor Takara have anything to do with the price gouging on 25 year old toys by unscrupulous sellers.

Black deluxe Prime looks sexy.

that black deluxe prime doesnt look half bad, the mold still isnt that great but at least they found a way to make it look ok. I really want that Sideburn, knew i should joined that stupid thing.

Hahahahaha!
The SDCC Cobra Commander from the Starcream Skystriker has his helmet on backwards and tilted with the rear rim as a bill/brim.

And nobody's asking why Jetwing Optimus Prime, a TakaraTomy exclusive (thus far) is doing inside a Hasbro case...

That is the first thing I thought of when I saw these pics!! Does that mean there may be a Hasbro release of Jetwing OP afterall?! Peaugh seemed to think so too on his review because the coin was in Hasbro packaging inside the Takara box. Interesting??

I can only hope this is a little foreshadowing of a Hasbro release because Ultimate OP is extremely disappointing to me and I'd like to have a DOTM version of OP to go with my ROTF Leader Prime. Jetwing OP would be perfect because it is very accurate to the DOTM movie!!!

FACE OF FIRE!
