As the story says, they will be available from 20 September.
Yes I know, but I want to make sure people know that those links don't go to a placeholder page on HTS that they can pin to their tab bar, and reload only for the buy link to never load so you have to go back to the main page and follow the link there only to get to the page too late and it's sold out. Ya know, like what happened with the SDCC exclusives.

Beats me - but apparently HTS did it somehow

The listing is up at HTS: https://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/-c3542as00
But you can't order it, you can only put it on a 'wish list'. So it was either available, but sold out immediately. Or it was never available in the first place because it isn't being sold till later, and the listing is just a tease. Either way, [eyeroll][/eyeroll]

In addition, we're including all previously posted videos from the weekend that deal with the toys talked about in the clip, all in one convenient viewing spot!
The panel are talking about how the issues that Hideaki had 30 years ago are pretty much still the same
Would you make a combiner out of combiners? Lots of excitement, but no - nothing in the plans.
Power of Primes compatible with Titan Masters? Yes, Prime Masters and Titan Masters are interchangeable. Optimus Prime can wear TR Optimus' head in his chest.
Any plan on Titan Masters/Prime Masters multipack? It's really cool - maybe around holidays (but no solid plan).
When designing, do you start in vehicle or robot? Depends on the designer, some start from the vehicle 'as armour', but vehicle to robot makes life a little easier. Combiners start from the way out, combined mode first. Always carry a sketch book. Yoke-san also starts with vehicle first.
Titans Return line had less paint than Takara, are there going to be similar changes in Power of the Primes? It's all down to value for consumers and price points: more details, more cost. Case by case basis, really.
Came up with a Transformers zodiac - but what are your signs? Warden - Leo, Panzica- Cancer, ISabella-Carmine- Aries, Yoke- Leo.
What type of background would get you a job like this? School, industrial design degrees. Blend of engineering and art, also fashion design with toy specialisation portfolios (Panzica's experience).
Level of discussion between Powermaster Prime and Super Ginrai, there was some, yes.
Importance of spark / allspark - distinctive difference between other mech: Transformers have a 'soul'.
Transformers can scan anything and transform into it. Ejector, Erector, ice-cream Transformers in Japan.
Sharkticons - are there any other designs planned to come out? Sharkticon that turns into jet, maybe?
Packaging: product converts vs transformers transform - not able to comment at this time, but it's way they do, they convert. (question by Seibertron, answer by Warden)

Great video. Thanks for posting.

The voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron met up in Hascon's main hall, and talked about several topics, including their behind the scenes experience with Transformers, as well as the voice acting industry in General! Check out the full video below, from the point of view of Seibertron himself!

Also included again here, is the reveal of the Unicron teaser image (as visually coordinated by Sara Pitre Durocher), revealed during a panel with Chris Ryall over the weekend, seen in this story here.

Only if you plug one into the other.

Introduced by fellow voice actors Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, we're reminded that Susan Blu has contributed to a wide range of cinematic and entertainment outlets (including voice director for Beast Wars, Animated and Transformers: Prime), as well as being a perfomer herself for the first generations of My Little Pony, Jem and GI Joe. Take a look at the clip below for yourselves, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!
For more on Frank Welker and Peter Cullen, take a look at our previous clip from their panel here!

In addition, we were able to attend the big panel for the Marvel side of things (for which Hasbro produces action figures): Stan Lee - co-creator of the Marvel universe himself, and the rumoured Watcher for the cinematic Marvel universe - live on stage! Both videos can be viewed below, of course, and do let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Who knows, maybe someday Soundwave and Blaster will be made and released. As long as the tooling exists...
