New Stock Images of Transformers One Robot Battlers Shows Gimmick + 4 in 1 Optimus Prime

These figures definitely seem more geared towards the littler tykes. While I don't deny it's a completely viable demographic to target - I'm not inside that demographic. So it's doubtful I'll be collecting any of these. I'll reserve my attention for the more advanced stuff....

Interesting, if I read the back of the box correctly, the first transformations are manual, while the Power Flip is only used for the Ultimate mode.

Sentinel, Trion, and Bee look good, i will probably get those 3

USA! USA! While the US is rarely first to receive new figures, the Transformers One toys are being distributed there earlier. The street date is August 1st, to have these on the shelf in time for the film coming out a month later, but Meijer broke the street date and are selling both the COG changers (one steps) and Prime changers (deluxes). The case distributions are not standard with different assortments being shipped to different retailers. This particular assortment of Prime changers just included Optimus and Alpha Trion.
The other Prime changer toys are also being released from certain online outlets in different territories. So we now have a lot of in hand images of Sentinel, Optimus, Bee and Alpha Trion courtesy of Shaddowtoa, Devil Prime, ambitron and RATCHET 208.

































































As a fun extra, these toys are the same toys featured in Takara's "stop motion" music video for the theme song of the Japense version of Transformers One.

The scale makes no sense, but I'm glad Bee's a big boi, still I'll probably skip it though 'cause of the legs... yeesh.

The rest are pretty cool. I'll get Sentinel & Alpha Trion on sight, those looks like sweet desk toys. Orion Pax looks better and better than the "Studio Series" one (I put SS in quotes because I hate Hasbro putting out figures that just cash-in on the movie's simultaneous/synergy release but looks half-cooked in terms of movie accuracy, like they started with ROTB, using concept designs instead of the actual onscreen final).

Ah crap, guess I gotta get the Sightings section updated. Thought I had until August, dangit Meijer

It can't be helped, the only way they can get figures out in time for the movies is to use the most current designs they have at the time. Sometimes it works out, other times they make major changes in the meantime.

The Transformers One Mainline deluxe toys (called Prime Changers) have intrigued some fans and they will be the main toys for the film, while we wait until 2025 for the same cast of characters to come out in Studio Series. For those wanting to know as much as possible about these toys, we have a review for you below from Chuckdawg1999 showing Bumblebee. These toys have already been spotted at Meijer and are about to drop at other retailers like Target.

The Transformers One toyline is here! More and more are appearing in the wild and shipping from online stores so we want to catch you up on some reviews.

Below you will see reviews of Transformers One Prime Changers Sentinel Prime and Optimus Prime as well as One Megatron/D-16 and Whirlwing, which is a retool of the deployer toy from the Robots in Disguise 2015 line.

The one Transformers One Prime Changer we had yet to post a review of was Alpha Trion. We have one now which you can see below. The toy has been released in the US at some stores while it is available to order on Amazon.ca for $29.99 CAD.

The review below shows that he is comparable in size to modern day deluxes, as well as deluxes from the beast era, 30 years ago, and shares a lot in common with that era. Enjoy!

I was waiting for that Snarl to crumble in his hands while Transforming it so haphazardly.

I, too, was waiting for GPS to strike.

It's been a little while, but here's a brand new Seibertron.com gallery for all of you to enjoy.

This new gallery showcases the Transformers Studio Series 112 Deluxe Class Optimus Prime toy. The Transformers Studio Series 112 Deluxe Class Optimus Prime stands out as a must-have for Transformers collectors. The figure is approximately 6 inches tall and boasts remarkable attention to detail, reflective of the character's appearance in the upcoming Transformers One movie. He converts from robot to truck mode, showcasing the versatility and playability that Transformers collectors have come to expect from the Studio Series toy line.

The gallery is available on Seibertron.com, providing fans and collectors an in-depth look at this latest addition to the Transformers Studio Series line. The gallery of over 170 images showcases this toy's features, superb articulation, and accessories. Thanks to some butterfly shoulder joints, this Optimus Prime can actually hold the Matrix of Leadership accessory and can even pull of the popular "hero pose" due to its top notch poseability. The comparison pictures did something a little different since this is the only Transformers One figure currently in the Seibertron.com collection. This time around, the comparison pictures feature many other "deluxe class" Optimus Prime figures from over the years (with a couple of exceptions).

This new gallery marks a special moment as it's been a while since Seibertron.com posted one of our massive galleries. The release of this extensive gallery aims to offer Transformers enthusiasts a comprehensive visual guide to the Studio Series 112 Deluxe Class Optimus Prime. Fans can appreciate the meticulous design and articulation of the toy through these detailed images.

You can view the complete gallery by visiting here. Seibertron.com currently has this figure available to purchase at our ebay store at shop.seibertron.com.

Studio Series Optimus Prime (Transformers: One) (174 images) - Deluxe Class

Good lookin' toy and, as ever, a hell of a gallery.

What do you think of the toy from a personal standpoint?

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.

I came across these at a Target in Springfield,Mo today.

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.
