I like both. Not a huge fan of Megs' would-be-called "hands", but I still like him. Prime looks nice. I'd like to see Soundwave revealed.

it looks like Megs has a second half to his hands that weren't folded out, could be wrong but otherwise his hands look way to small. loving Optimus tough

Prime looks great. Not a big fan of this version of Megatron design yet, but the toy is faithful to the video game.

Hope I get to take pics of these toys in person at Toy Fair in a few weeks to share with all of you.

I didn't really need these pictures to confirm my status on WFC. The toys homage the Dark Days of Cybertron.. that's something, as a TransFan and Collector, something you can't miss out on. Onto the toys.

Prime - That Robot Mode is so solid. Looks really bulk, and that just awesome for a Commander. The vehicle mode is totally WW, can't miss out on that right there...

Megatron - ROTF Ravage? Nah, I think the BMFG makes up for everything that the Robot Mode isn't doing right.

I like the design for prime and megs is interesting enough, but offhand I don't foresee these being part of my collection at this point.

hey less money i'm giving to Hasbro is more that I have to give to Fansproject.

These look nice! And is it just me, or does Meg's hands look mistransformed???

Posted by MrMunkeepants on January 27th, 2010 @ 2:11am CST
I like Megatron's cannon, it looks appropriately bad-ass... that said, the figures look chunky like Titanium line bots. so many games are getting awesome figures these days, even new characters get decent detail and paint apps - yet all our beloved characters get for WfC are some deluxes? I don't see these standing up with Halo or Gears of War figures, the exact gamer demographic the game is aimed at. whoever said Voyager would have been better, I agree. I'll wait to see more pics, but I'll probably pass.

Aside from the mistransformations (Prime's leg not being fully extended, and his backpack looks like it needs to be snapped into place somehow, but i could be wrong, and Megatron's hands definitely appear to have some more transforming that hasnt been done) these look pretty good.

The head sculpt on Prime looks fantastic.

I'll be picking these up for sure.


Are those ARTICULATED FINGERS on Prime?? I smell Voyager Class or higher.

I don't think its transformed wrong, I think its just a weird perspective because one leg is posed differently. They look the same length, just posed different.

and, why is Prime's gun bent to the left? It's like curved

Posted by Abraxsis on January 27th, 2010 @ 3:14am CST
Prime looks decent, decent enough that i may actually consider buying it, but Megs just looks aweful. Maybe it's transformed wrong in bot mode, but it just looks like junk. Same for it's alt mode, crap.

There's a folding joint in the middle. I wonder if it will be a common problem for the gun to not be able to straighten...

I'm not keen on non-realistic earth alt modes so will probably pass on most of this line but these two are a must.

Megatron seems to have treads for arms that are folded away in alt mode. Will he have a flight mode and a ground tank mode?

Re: War For Cybertron Optimus Prime and Megatron Toys Revealed! (1040922)
Posted by Rial Vestro on January 27th, 2010 @ 3:39am CST
Optimus Prime: Love the robot mode. It retains the basic look of G1 Optimus while at the same time looking alien. Alot of the War Within designs I thought did the same thing but Optimus' War Within design was one that I felt was lacking in the chest design. This guy actually has wind shields and a grill.

The Vehicle mode however does not look as cool as it did in the previews for the game. Guess because I never really got a good look at the front end. He kinda looks like a Cybertronian Bullet Train rather than a truck or a tank. The front just seems way to smooth and round.

Megatron: Robot mode looks misstransformed. What the heck is going on with his arms? Arms aside he otherwise looks amazeing and I'm sure a proper transformation will make him look much better.

The vehicle mode looks like it has a few small wings attached which I guess are supose to make it look like this thing can fly but really... it's a brick with a cannon on top. Quite possibly the worst Cybertronian vehicle mode I've ever seen. And that's even counting all the movie designs which have been compaired to turds and flying thorn bushes. I mean really if this thing is going to even give the suspence of dissbelief that it can fly because it's not the first flying brick, it's wings have to be bigger than that. At least the wings on other figures are actully noticeable. I was stareing at this thing trying to figure out what it was for about 5 min. before I noticed it had some small wings attached.

At any rate they've allready announced this game and the toy line, I really hope we're getting a War for Cybertron SERIES. But if we did get a series out of this the question is weather or not this is set in the same universe as G1 or if they just have G1 inspired designs.

Um... they're not "non-realistic EARTH alt modes" they're CYBERTRONIAN modes. It's called War for Cybertron for a reason.

Pluse most toys are "non-realistic Earth alt modes" with the only exceptions being, Masterpiece, Alternators/Binaltech, Human Aliance, or really anything that could pass as a model car rather than a transformer. You know as long as you don't look under the car and realize there's a bunch of robot parts stored away. Or if it doesn't bother that transformers don't have actual interiors than you can allso include G1 and movie sence the exteriors are based on real vehicles. R.I.D., Armada, Energon, Cybertron, and Animated however all have made up vehicle modes which are passable but not realistic Earth Vehicles. Hell even the Classics toy line doesn't look realistic. But as I said before, War for Cybertron are not ment to be Earth vehicles.

Let's hope that the game will be as good as these figures.If so, I believe this Tf line will be as loved as the original G1 itself.

Prime is awesome (but let's see a dirtied up version with a metallic finish!)

Megatron however unfortunately looks like the love child of Animated and Movie Megatron. bleh.

optimus- 95% perfect, wish he came with his giant battle axe.

megatron- cool tank mode, robot mode looks cool besides his messed up hand but it may look better in person. overall i give megatron 80%

lovin the toyline so far 8)

Getting that Prime, without or without the axe (though I hope to high heaven he comes with one).

Megatron...what I'm seeing isn't too bad, but you'd think they'd be able by now to transform the bloody thing properly before taking pictures.

Posted by Diem on January 27th, 2010 @ 7:17am CST
I'm trying hard to like this so far. I am. But; characters I'm bored to tears with that transform into nothing-in-particular alt modes? Can't get along with it.

If the game/inevitable cartoon turns out to be "gritty" and "mature" and generally Dreamwave-y and humourless, this may wind up being a cheap year for me.

Posted by Counterpunch on January 27th, 2010 @ 7:43am CST
Awesome.

Just awesome.

Don't dumb these down prior to their release. We've supported these toys for years. Let's get some Japanese style paint aps and the proper color schemes on our side of the market (the larger side of the market...)
Re: War For Cybertron Optimus Prime and Megatron Toys Revealed! (1040984)
Posted by Samsonator on January 27th, 2010 @ 7:53am CST
It's really a shame Prime doesn't appear to have his axe. That would just complete the look of sheer badassity. Megs I'll get, if only because this new Prime will need a chew toy.
"How can I take a bite when I don't have a mouth?!"

Seriously, though. I think this line will have a few hits and a few misses, but both of these are a definite get. Especially if it's revealed that Prime's Axe is on the menu.

Hallelujah! :grin:

Very pleased with Optimus (I guess the pic we saw before was without the top (hood? roof?) panels). He looks great and this is only Deluxe class! :APPLAUSE:

Megatron, I'm is a bit less excited, but he works. Hovertank is fine, and his robot mode looks fairly accurate, but seems to be missing hands (incomplete transformation?) Perhaps they'll make a voyager version that's even better. :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY:

Prim looks amazing. He is bulky and looks like he could do some major damage in the machine war. I wish he came with the huge axe he is holding in the game though. Not a fan of megs's hands but i can live with it.

But seriously, why deluxe?

Well as always I hope the final paint that's chosen will give it depth. It definatly look as if Megs is mistransformed, but other than that they look great!

Loving Prime, Megs i think is just mistransformed. So far from the three figures weve seen im getting Prime and BB and will PROBABLY get megs. Not a fan of the neon orange on prime hip though but overall a great figure
Re: War For Cybertron Optimus Prime and Megatron Toys Revealed! (1041031)
Posted by --B-- on January 27th, 2010 @ 10:04am CST
I really like the Prime mold, you can tell they spent a lot of time getting it right. I agree that Megs looks a little too much like the TFA Voyager, so that is a pass, between the triangle legs and head, the non symetrical shoulders (anal retentive much?) and tread arms, I'm just not digging it. Add the BB toy we saw and at the moment this line is 1 yes and 2 no. Although a deluxe price point may make for an impulse buy!
Re: War For Cybertron Optimus Prime and Megatron Toys Revealed! (1041032)
Posted by Varia31 on January 27th, 2010 @ 10:06am CST
Both figures look great, although I don't see any sign of Megatron's hands, could be Hasbro's pics have him mistransformed, but who knows. I really like that with the toy, they fixed Prime's head size, while the design in both the game and on the toy is awesome, the only thing about the game's model of Prime is that his head's a little to small, and this toy corrects that. :)
