Best Buy? Last time i was there (last night) There were no toys. So why are they deciding to carry 2 TF toys? What i see is that they will be over priced and hard to find. Thanks hasbro for making things hard again. I dont get the point. The only thing that would make sence is that they will be released with the movie to try and get more people to buy it at best buy than walmart or FYE.

There is a Voyager Prime with a metallic pain app. Robovision is his name! :)

As far as leaders go, Megs is in desperate need of a paint job ... unless they are going to include him into the line of Barbie toys or something ... mm, that's Mattell anyway.

Arcee being released in Victoria's Secret with edible panties! LOL!!! I just spit some rice and ground turkey onto my keyboard ... thanks a lot! I think some hot sauce made it into my nasal passages, too. :P

I bet that this will be released alongside the Movie DVD release. Since they do not carry toys to my knowledge this is the only way that this exclusive to them makes any sense.

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

I suppose these will be like those mini-busts Best Buy offered last year in support of Superman Returns on DVD. They were offered for like $10 each if you bought any Superman DVD.

Well it wouldn't be the first time we saw toys or Movie items sold at best Buy, remember the Master Replicas Lightsabers?? That was a cool release to coincide with the DVD for Revenge of the Sith. I for one love Best Buy and will be there the day they arrive for purchase of both and the DVD extended 2 disk special edition. I'm not into HD or Blueray..too much too soon, even if I wanted to I'd have to upgrade the TV to flatscreen and get a matching surround sound system, which isn't a priority...

But those figures, both of them will be Mine!!!

After finding out that the megatron metal castes are rusting i dont think i want to buy anything metal for a while. At least when it comes to commercial products.

My thoughts exactly. So maybe they'll be released around mid-October if the DVD comes out on the 16th. I guess I might actually splurge and get Metal Megatron, as long as he doesn't rust. (Ha! Sorry saw the post above.)
