I have a question, reviewer to reviewer, why do you choose to go from alt mode to robot when the figure is packaged in robot mode? Is it for nostalgia, like a call back to the time when toys would be packaged in alt mode?

Usually, that's the last mode I have the figure in before I review it. I think it's also to go in reverse of the instructions. They're not great but from what people have told me they need help getting back to robot mode.

Huh, I never realized until now that we don't have a proper Deluxe or thereabouts movie Prime from the last four movies before One for the proper truck modes. Seems like a massive oversight.

Yeah you're right.

Transformers One is upon us and even if the film may not interest all fans, seeing fully stocked shelves will make any grinch's heart grow three sizes. While the toys are coming in rather slowly in the US, Mexican fans are getting the more traditional approach where Walmart is stocking the line all at once, turning the toyline into film promotion, as is intended. Below are images showing the toyline out in full force.

The toys are coming to the states as well but the shelves don't look as inviting or inspiring, you can check the contrast with a US target below.

And for those wanting to know more about these toys, we have some reviews below for the Mega Changers (same as Titan Changers), Robot Battlers, Cog Changers (one steps) and the Ultimate Energon Optimus Prime, courtesy of Chuckdawg1999.

Mexican Walmart





US Target

Haven't seen anything at Walmart yet, only seen the Studio Series Prime/Orion at Target.

Have we talked about this yet? I'm honestly having trouble keeping track with SDCC being so crazy this weekend (we're getting a Marvel Legends Rom! MOTU vs Thundercats!). Apparently this is the Transformers One equivalent to that big Optimus Primal that Takara Tomy made for ROTB and Hasbro imported at a pretty decent price. I believe this comes from the Transformers Expo or whatever it's called in HK right now.

Double checked, it's called Hasbro Fans Expo.

I think I only want prime changers Bee and Optimus, and that big leader, otherwise I think I am good for this line

I have a glorious purpose to review them all!

I was able to pick up Prime Changers Sentinel Prime and Bumblebee at a local Target (Missouri) today. They had OP and Alpha Trion on the pegs but i passed on them. Not pictured, I also spotted Cog Changer Airachnid, again another pass.
I do like that BB looks pretty good next to Studio Series OP.
