Except for the colors and the fact that it turns into a car instead of a motorcycle, this thing really smacks of TFA Prowl...

Are those supposed to be new for just Canada or new for everyone just spotted first in Canada? Because I saw those two all over weeks ago and just assumed because we get things here in general so late they must already have been everywhere. I guess similar to that OP someone else from Michigan was talking about being all over here before the news.
I realize the article mentions Canada several times, I just don't know if that means you think Canada is first to get these or that Canada has been waiting on these while they've been out elsewhere a while.
Not a big deal, I just sometimes don't know quite how to parse these sorts of news items.

Didn't know these hadn't been spotted. I work at a Toysrus in Canada and they've been on shelves for about a week

No worries, these are just the first time they are spotted in canada. We reported a month or more ago that they had been found in the states. Cobotron was the first to spot them if I recall correctly.
Canada seems to get things either earlier or later, never right on time. We are still waiting for brainstorm, swerve, chromia and arcee so hopefully we will be getting those news posts eventually too
PS:also, when its the first time something is spotted in north america, and it was spotted in canada, we try to mention that

So, I'm trying to talk myself out of buying Prime by looking for the Takara TAV version... and I couldn't find it. Is their first rendition (and only so far) the Nemesis Prime? (TAV13)

Well you know what, from now on, if ever you get a new shipment of a tf toy that is new to your store, take a picture and send us a message in the link found in my signature. If it's news, we'll front page it. Also, if you can spot any new listings in your database regarding upcoming masterpiece figures, or platinum sets, or Robots in Disguise COTF figures, please let us know the SKN and the Price, even better if you take a pic of the listing. That would be a great help to us.

Yup, also probably their only version of that mold. Jelze (or was it Sabr) pointed out that Takara tries to limit the character offerings per line so since they have a big prime we wont be getting on Hasbro's side, they didnt want to make another prme at the warrior class level. So its just nemesis. I still want to know what their drift will look like. I am assuming it at least has a colored in beard.

At least the first to report them.
Nothing a modicum of paint can't fix.

Seibertron's Sharpie job worked out good too.

Okay that's good to know. I work on the floor so I don't usually access the computers, but I can definitely shoot you a line if something interesting and new is on shelves.

Sideswipes shield arms are a little unfortunate but I like it. Jazz has a surprisingly clean robot mode to be so hollow in the alt mode.

"JAZZ, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR FAAAACE?"
/end MrPlinkettmode
...no, seriously, he looks like one of those altered photos where they chop the nose section out and place the remaining bits together.

Yeah the robot mode's not bad, but I find the lack of detail on the vehicle mode makes him look unfinished.

2 more duds out of the RiD line, i do like sideswipes alt mode & the robot mode has a few things going fro it but that back kibble & head kill it. Jazz is just all around terrible.

Well, Mr. Positivity here to say, I think they both look like fine and fun little toys. I'm excited to snag 'em and check 'em out.
Jazz has some hollowness that looks a little goofy, but I've learned to live with the previous toys short comings. His robot mode looks cool, and I even like his turtle mode.
Sideswipe looks like he could be the most solid and pose-able figure from this line to date.
