Saw Prime almost a month ago, but hadn't realized it was news! What does Grimlock say?? Please tell me it's a G1 voice chip. I'll throw my money at it!

I saw these the other day. Optimus Prime has Peter Cullen's voice and Grimlock has a generic voice but I must admit, it does sound pretty good. It doesn't sound like Gregg Berger, but it sounds like a deep giant barbarian type of a voice (if that even made sense). He says things like 'Grimlock destroy!', 'I want to munch metal' stuff like that. I hate these titan things, but I might just get Grimlock because he talks and didn't talk in the movie.

They're still crummy shampoo bottles. Only now they can annoy you with screechy sounds!

Those Titans are so boring and silly. I'm still trying to figure out what their purpose is. I can't understand why they exist. I realize they're for kids because they're simplistic and that's fine, but the kids that would like these are too little to see or even enjoy the films anyway.

Maybe it's these that are the toys that Rick Sellers and other voice actors recorded lines for.
To be sure, what phrases does the Grimlock toy say?

Actually Hasbro bought back Rise of Cobra movie figures from Wal Mart that were sitting on shelves to get the chain to carry Pursuit of Cobra.

Or perhaps, these are just all the DOTM ones that failed to sell, repackaged, and ditched the mtech weapon...? Maybe hasbro figured it was better to just eat the cost of the mechtech weapons and use this old figure than it was to make 'new' ones.... A sign that even they've given up trying to improve this thing.
They're slight repaints, if you must know. Check the galleries for comparisons.
And "repackagings" is a total misnomer. Despite the name, they're nothing more than new product runs using the exact specifications of an older toy. Hasbro does not do repackaging nor buying back stock: stores sell unsold stock to other stores for cheap.

That's a relief...I was worried by the pic on the TRU site whether the Classics Prime had both guns or not, since the pic showed him without the smokestacks/rifle in both modes, but the pic of the box on the shelf looks like he has it still. Has anyone gotten the set and can confirm this, though? I wanna know before I drop $50 for it.

Darren K Nelson of the Wichita Transformers Fans Facebook group has reported that the Platinum Edition Silver Knight Optimus Prime has been spotted at a few Targets in the Wichita, KS area. This is a redeco of the first edition leader class mold that was originally exclusive to Amazon. The deco includes chromed thighs and chest.

Other then the chrome I kinda like him.
That being said, the only way I'm getting him is if I can find him on clearance.

I like the blue sword.
That's about it, though.

This is one of those cases where I know it's a bad, overpriced mold, but the deco is enough to make me want it anyway. Something about the chrome and metallic shades on this one just pops. I wish it didn't. Oh well, off to check Target!

Did you get the Target 2 pack silver knight optimus with Grimlock? Because the deco on that deluxe optimus prime is Phenimenal! So, if you dont have it yet, make sure you get it at Target while you are there.
And JelZe GoldRabbit, I know what you wanted. I just find that picture so hilarious that I include it anywhere possible. So when you asked to see the vehicle mode, I thought it was a great opportunity to use that picture again to show that it was possible for someone to show us both modes of Silver Knight Optimus if they wanted to.

Everyone can see both vehicle and robot modes at the Target website:
https://goto.target.com/c/1137247/81938/2092?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Ftransformers-pl ... um+edition
However, the toy looks ugly at the official photos: there are no chromed details and the vehicle mode is plain white and red (no blue, no chrome).
