Full Metal Hero has received pricing and names of upcoming Transformers Prime figures in the year 2012, including the Powerizer subline, where the Flowing Energon Optimus Prime will call home. We also get our first look at the Bot Shot line, which we first learned about as an "action battlers" type game announced back in November. Read more... Read the Full News Story Here

Hasbro's being sneaky, again.

Just as they did with Universe(2003) Inferno and Ratchet by making them part of a "Machine Robot Rescue" team as an attempt to block Bandai from using the Machine Robo Rescue name if the line was imported, by calling the light up figure(s?) Powerizer, it blocks Bandai from using the Poweredizer name for the support mecha, should Bandai bring over Kamen Rider Fourze.

Also, might be worth noting that the USD prices shown in parenthesis are just a show of the rate of conversion and not an indication that prices are going to increase in the US. :thumb

I've never been big on chibi-style TFs so this is an easy pass.

why does the picture of that light up prime in truck mode look like one of the movie voyagers?...placeholder image maybe?

So with the confusingly useless renaming they're also tacking a few more bucks on to each price point

Stay classy Hasbro.

Edit: @ Taaron N/M Thanks for the clarification.

Its DOTM Voyager Prime. What I find interesting is that they made a prototype specifically to demo this technology. Meaning we may see rehash's of some of the movie toys to act as filler for the new line.
