Rumor – Transformers: Prime Toys Coming Very Soon?

I wonder how they'll manage to sell what with Generations, RTS, 2010, PCC AND DOTM line still having to be released here!

That's why they made a TV series. Transformers cartoons are always fundamentally a series of toy adverts. :)

Yeah but surely there's a point where kids won't be able to afford the toys they want because they'd be overwhelmed with them.

I imagine that they will be retools of movie toys since the body designs for several is very similar.

However due to their movie similarities, I suspect that they will 'compete' with the TF3 line so they may end up shelf warming.

Soon? That could been anytime this year knowing Hasbro.

Five small new Autobots sounds like deluxes, or a small line similar to Generations, at least to start with.

I'll believe it when I see it, I wonder though if there will be any chance of Hasbro establishing a uniform scale with the Prime line? :rolleyes:
(Obviously these rumored figures don't fit that description ;))

The cartoon starts its regular screening soon (in America), so if there are just a handful of figures being released to cash in on the new cartoon, they may have been able to rush them through the design process, to get them out in the months before the movie... and then more after the movie 'season'.

Animated seem to have sold well enough despite coming out amidst Universe and Revenge of the Fallen. But ultimately a toy line will sell well if the toys are well made and fun to play with, even without a cartoon or movie to support it. A crappy toyline with a cartoon will still fail (e.g. Beast Machines).
