Now that is bloody f*cking awesome! Also, it looks like those blades are detachable.

Hmmm... Marketing The Prime toys under the Generations/RTS banner could go two ways...

 

On the one hand, children searching for their Prime toys among the myriads of other figures might find something else they "want", ergo: Hasbro makes more money.

 

On the OTHER hand: Children and parents wandering down the aisles looking for the "Prime Brand" toys might just skip right on by the other lines assuming their unrelated, cuz let's face it: Five year olds and the parents-of don't have nearly the level of experience with the different lines that we as collectors do. :shrug

 

Here's to hoping that this is NOT generations Arcee, since I not ONLY want this figure; I want a "Classics" style one as well. Hopefully Hasbro will try selling me two figures rather than just one, and given my penchant for "accidentally" buying Multiples of Arcee, They could even potentially sell me 4 depending on the quality.

 

If not? WTF? Why are they so flipping determined to neglect a G1 Classic style Arcee? It goes clear past negligence and out the other side to sheer bloody-minded cruelty. :tfmad

And again my hopes for a G1 Arcee are dashed. This looks great except the face reminds me of Charlotte from that old animated version of Charlotte's Web.

 

I guess this means Bulkhead is Some Pig.

Nice, but this toy comes out in October, probably in time for a new season of Transformers: Prime and well after the toys for DotM. This means that the Generations Arcee that we already knew about should be a G1 Arcee.

i was sure id hate the prime toys, but if this is an example of them then im sold.

already much better than 99% of the DOTM figures.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

Except I think Arcee and Starscream might be the 2 figures mentioned in Generations? That has me a bit upset that we may not see a full scale Prime toyline

By now, I just figure Hasbro only throws fanboys stuff now and then to stifle them, but they have no intention of turning Prime into fanboy fodder. Hence, why we were snubbed.

 

One person's opinion, anyhow :wave

"Transformers: Prime will begin its season on February 11, 2011 with toys coming out at retail on October 1, 2011."

 

Can we say :animated 2.0 for toy sales?! Sheesh... :argh

Heh, wonder if they'll try to cancel this show and make a new cable channel if it doesn't perform the way they "want", too. :tfgrin

Maybe they'll take a cue from Viacom and make The Hub² :lol

I tell you, there's probably a new season of Transformers: Prime this fall. Right now Transformers: Prime will establish itself, then there will be the movie, and after it's time for TF: Prime.
