BotCon 2011 Coverage - Transformers Prime Gallery Updated

I dislike these.... alot. Except for the packaging of the actual optimus prime figure. Its kinda cool to say the least.

That Megatron... is that the one that comes with Prime plus the kids or is this another one altogether? And I also like how they reversed Drift's colors in his Shattered Glass counterpart.

So, who's gonna be rocking that Matrix packaging with me all summer long? Show of hands.

Transformers Prime Arcee, Megatron and Starscream look badass. Optimus Prime still looks like a Fast Action Battler. Hasbro should replace all the grey with silver and lengthen the back of the truck.

No it doubles as a funky-fresh chain to rock around your neck!

If it's the two pack with OP and the human figs, it's deluxe class, set for release in July.

According to TFwiki, the TF Prime line will be be released in December 2011. If I recall correctly, there's a Voyager OP in the works, and almost definitely a voyager Megatron as well. Deluxe Soundwave is confirmed, and he is said to come with the bat drone that fits in his chest, and it doubles as a blade-weapon.

Leader class figs seems unlikely since it's not a main line. All their Leader shelf space will be going to DOTM stuff, I reckon.

Maybe if the show and these toys do well they'll branch out more.

Megatron looks awesome despite the slight mistransformation in the picture (the piece sticking above his head should be on his back).

Optimus, not so much.

I'm with you on that. Sadly, Orci and Kurtzman have some kind of fixation with "radio-talk." According to TF-wiki, they were planning on letting Bee speak normally in ROTF, but they were so in love with the idea of him talking through the radio that they just decided to make him remain a mute in ROTF.

And now their love for radio-ese has flowed over to TF Prime.
