That beats my new sighting today - FABs wave 3 (Sideswipe, Ironhide, Mudflap and apparently Starscream) at Kmart, plus Gravity Bots wave 2 (Sideswipe and apparently Mudflap) at BigW.

Spotted Grimlock Mighty mugss at Toy's R Us TTP in SA.... AUD25 along with wave 1 lot... didn't see starscream though...

I saw the new Prime helmets at Target Robina, but was disappointed to find that the voice is AGAIN not Peter Cullen, not even close. Does anyone know if a later wave will contain movie phrases, like last time - or is this as good as we are going to get?

It looks like it might be just getting a limited release to Target this time, so I wasn't expecting anything different with it. Maybe Hasbro is being cheap and didn't want to pay royalties to Cullen this time.

Not sure if this is new... spotted the Marvel Crossovers Ironman / Spiderman 2-pack at K-mart for $60.

I went to the same Target today, after seeing ROTF again, and -all- the helmets had been either sold out or replaced, and the new stock was ROTF packaging "WITH THE REAL MOVIE VOICE" of Peter Cullen. So anyone who bought the dodgy ones, I'd be taking them back for a refund.

You sure? The ROTF Prime helmets I've pressed have Peter Cullen LOUDLY yelling at Autobots to roll.

I was with Tetsuwan Convoy at a Target one day and saw one of these helmets. I too thought it sounded Peter Cullen but Tets thought otherwise. :p

I too am sure that the helmets have cullens voice as he does sound a bit different in the movie compared to the first one, even his voice in the game sounds different.

Saw ROTF Scout Reverb (Knock Out repaint) at Toyworld today.

Target appear to be getting in the last two Animated Bumper Battlers (Workzone Bulkhead and Stealth Ninja Jazz) as well. And from the same non-US source as Toys R Us. Broadway Target had them, as well as a heap of Optimus Helmets.
The Helmets are definitely different to the 2007 Optimus Helmet. This one has a different colouring (a scratchy silver and gold highlights), plus moulded Cybertronian symbols into the panelling, AND all new quotes in Peter Cullen's voice.
If it were like $20, I'd get it in addition to the 2007 Helmet for the extra Cullen quotes, but it's an expensive non-action-figure... so not gonna happen.
11th July 2009, 11:13 PM

Too bad the helmet does not seem to have the quote "I'll take you all on!" :p
12th July 2009, 09:25 AM

Does it have: "Any last words? CHK-CHK-BOOM"?

Target is selling them for $35 in their catalogue (pg 43)... does that tempt you? :)

I'll be getting it for sure - saw it today and I love the new textures and phrases! Cullen's voice is also more processed... it has some sort of effect added to it. I dunno what it is!

It's a good sammy's on High rd,
nearish to Myer.
You have to go into a small arcade located next to a beat root cafe and into an Op shop with alot of books, theres a toy section at the end and I've come across more then a few transformers, my last aqusition was Scoop(no targetmaster guns) and before that an armless Thundercracker and semi Complete Dark Crumplezone. It's very hit and miss but can well worth it.
