Excited for the jet vehicon (love how his chest is identical to steve's) and of course Breakdown <3
Altogether now- HASBRO PLEASE!

It is supposed to be a space barge of some kind. Kinda looks like the ships from the John Carter film.
I hope somebody can take a good pic of the cardboard cutout behind him though. Could it be he can combine with Optimus?

A gigantic Rock Lord
Seriously though, Medic Knock Out and Megatron Darkness I'm skipping since I have the Hasbro versions, and I'll wait on War Breakdown. Hades does look wicked as a cape.
And it looks like Jet Vehicon has the same Micron as the regular Vehicon, Noji. Surprise, surprise.

Jet Vehicon looks awesome and will definitely buy online. (sad that I do most shopping online anymore.)
Thundertron is bough as well as Breakdown in MECH colors. That just looks so badass!!
The rest I will wait to see more if I need them or not.

What's the pink/purple thing next to optimus in the first pic? looks like a megatron repaint maybe???
That's AM Voyager Megs.

Yeah, in the original picture of Unicron, we saw him "combined" with OP...somehow. It was surmised at the time that Unicron turns into some sort of turret/armor thing.

We've been talking about him the whole time. That's Thundertron, the leader of the pirate faction.

gothsaurus wrote:Whaaaa. Boney Unicron merged with Prime? It would take a miracle to make that look good! Not to mention that's like making a Starscream or Megatron and Prime combiner. Like, when would those two even hang out?
It would probably be a direct ripoff of the SS Gogeta from that Dragonball Z movie. "Why would I ever share a body with you?" "Just shut up and hop on."
I will definitely take the Vehicons, Unicron, Nemesis Prime, Darkness Megatron, the lionformer(just in case it doesn't see a US release like the jet vehicon supposedly won't). The others i'll wait for Hasbro versions & then it's only if I see them, not going to actively hunt them.
Posted by gothsaurus on June 14th, 2012 @ 4:33pm CDT
Hope it comes this way. Looks pretty neato.
Posted by Mindmaster on June 14th, 2012 @ 4:37pm CDT
If he looks more like G1 UM than FOC UM, well.... no brainer there.
I'm curious to see more on Unicron and the Vehicon.
What about this "MECH" Breakdown? I'm curious as well to see how this will turn.

Because Hasbro realizes that they're starting to mess up the PRID line. -cough- Airachnid -cough-

Other then that very vague prototype pic we saw a way's back, where was it confirmed that they combine?WarzoneBeta wrote:I TOTALLY CALLED IT! Unicron does combine with Optimus....wait....does that mean that...DOES THAT MEAN THAT WE GET A PRIME/UNICRON TEAM UP AGAINST MEGATRON!

Look at the picture behind/beside Unicron. There's a noticeable amount of Optimus Prime in the middle of a Unicron armor-combiner-thing. And, in all fairness, you didn't "call" anything, as the very first image we got of Gaea Unicron was combined with Prime. xD
Anybody else think Unicron's chest looks like translucent plastic? It's either that or just very shiny...in either case, I like it. I really REALLY want to see more of little Gaea Unicron here. (I'm definitely glad he's a voyager too, keeps him from being too expensive. )
Posted by Sabrblade on June 14th, 2012 @ 7:31pm CDT
That image could very well also be my idea of Unicron turning into a turret for Voyager figures to use, with Optimus being used as an example.RAcast wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Other then that very vague prototype pic we saw a way's back, where was it confirmed that they combine?WarzoneBeta wrote:I TOTALLY CALLED IT!

Also, some places are identifying Thundertron instead as "Leo Prime", as though that were the toy's name.

I have the Jet Vehicons on pre-order, and now after these ( even blurry) pics, I think I am down with preordering Unicron. I am also in when Nemesis Prime comes up for pre-order.
The others I will get, but I can wait for domestic release on those.
I am going to need a credit counselor after all of this PRID, FOC, and MP's...
Posted by T-Macksimus on June 14th, 2012 @ 11:10pm CDT
It might be only 2 depending on how the paint job looks on his original release but I definitely want to do both a Steel-Jaw and a Lio Convoy repaint since I don't trust that Hasbro will actually do any kind of justice to it if they decide to do repaints of this mold. I guess this means I'll have to get another Prime so I can do a head swap but that should be no problem since they'll be shelf warmers at the local Wally World.

Will HasTak go out on a limb to put a star seekers emblem on Thundertron's box art just to show that he's aligned with neither factions, or they'll just dump him on any faction that might be 'beneficial' to him?
Anyways on my part Thundertron gets precedence than any other TFPrime offerings, even 3rd party upcoming products. It's about time we get a 3rd faction that's official and hopefully it's ranks bolstered throughout the coming years

Unicron being a Voyager kind of suggests he will have translucent parts, since nearly all the other Voyagers from this line have.

Yes it is. It will be released as Kup 1st in the PRID line as part of wave 5.

Are you sure? He looks awfully short:
But then he is quite bulky. I think he's going to turn out to be a small voyager. I think FE Bulkhead will make him look rather puny.

Yes, it was stated in Cybertron Con, and the price point is of a Voyager.

I would assume that he's wider than it seems to be, since he's farther from the camera...I hope that's the case at least.

So much goodness here. Ironhide and Bulkhead especially. I love the Jeticon too of course. I'm just hoping and wishing that Hasbro will release them here.
Posted by gothsaurus on June 15th, 2012 @ 10:46am CDT
Now, what about getting the rest of Animated on DVD... or the whole set on BluRay. Hmmmm.

That's one reason for me anyway why kup just doesn't fit that mold i think he should have had his own.

It's all about perspective. The Vehicon next to Soundwave looks much bigger than Soundwave does, but not in reality.
Also, Starscream is much bigger than both Vehicon and Soundwave, and nearly matching Megatron in size. But in this pic, he looks absolutely tiny.
I think Breakdown will be much bigger than he looks in this pic.

yeah, he's got the bulk of a voyager... which is accurate to the show.

So takara reveals 3 color Breackdown molds, while hasbro hasn't even hinted on one (except CV).
That Ironhide looks awesome. I think I heard this somewhere ,but I don't remember where, isn't hasbro releasing Ironhide in wave 5. I think this might be true because all the preorders are for Ironhide and not Kup.
So Hasbro you have lot of explaining to do this SDCC.

That's supposed to be his "club" and should be removable, so you could just stick it on his head.
Just thinking about how that would look makes me lol.

I'm now looking forward to seeing someone make this happen.
