Compilation of news posts for early-wave Transformers Prime Toys

Megatron is Lighty-flashy!!! EEEEEEE!!! Also who's the Blue Bumblebee repaint?

Looks nice eh! Unfortunately, if one UK Megatron owner is to be believed, his plastic is of a cheaper quality (perhaps thinner?) than Wheeljack and he feels very light. Silver paint apps are sparse too. Bit disappointing if true!

The Blue Bee is Hot Shot. Lovin those goggles!

@Jinto: Vehicon does look stunning doesn't he? Very interested to see the alt mode on this one, when I first saw him I thought it was the plane variant he looks so slick!

cyberverse optimus prime + variant

apparently there's a version with no faceplate

Now there's a toy that needs a Slicer redeco.

DARGH! They are looking too good. Surprised at the HotShot colours, I thought they would go for a flame red deco, unless Rodimus is in the plans...

I was expecting the blue bee to be Glyph.

I am liking what I am seeing!

Hot Shot is odd, since the goggles were most prominently part of the Animated design over the Trilogy's visor. I will skip it, but am glad it's not Deep Sea Bumblebee or something like that.

Not keen on the new Voyagers or the new Revealers for Cliffjumper or Bumblebee, but the deluxe Vehicons, Wheeljack and Soundwave are on my desired list.

Ha ha ! Yeh, "Midnight Stealth Bumblebee" was my first thought when I saw it. I guess for Hot Shot, considering how bad the original toy was, only improvements can happen.

Was it really necessary to change the topic of my thread? :/ What was wrong with the very clear "Latest Transformers Prime Toy Images"?

From here, people were wanting everything to be covered in one news topic, which is not practical... so had to alter the topic title to reflect the temporary change:

I can't have everything in the one topic for three reasons:
1 - New news posts get lost among the many pages of comment posts... it makes it a lot easier to scroll through the main table instead, or do a search, for topics of specific subject matter.
2 - Most people don't come back to a topic after they've read the first post because the majority, if not all, is expected to be just comments or essay-length debates.
3 - I need separate topics for each news items for the Weekly News emails (which archives news items).

The compromise I can offer however, is to have an "all in topic" for the Early Waves of Prime toys (while they are coming out frequently) for those who prefer to just comment once... and, each distinctly different news item (not minor updates to existing news) will be copied into its own news topic for easy locating by those who aren't much interested in other peoples comments.

This duplication will only continue while there is demand (if there is demand), and while there is a frequent number of new Prime toy info/details making their way to the fansites.
People posting a new bit of news don't have to post it twice if they don't want to, and can post it in or out of the "all in topic" - as I will be keeping track of the news postings, and will paste copies into or out of the "all in topic" as deemed necessary, or while there is demand for it.

This is pretty much in line with the guidelines for the news sections, as significantly different news deserves its own topic for recognition and awareness of the members and guests of its existence... I'm just allowing for temporary grouping of news items into one topic, like the Fall of Cybertron Topic (it was convenient for the people wanting to post comments, but I'm sure I wasn't the only one who had trouble knowing about, or finding all the news posts buried among that 241 postings topic - hence testing the idea of duplicating news posts this time).
