As well as the previously released Platinum Ultra Magnus, Omega Supreme and Optimus Prime, pictures from botcon have appeared from Hasbro's display case, mainly MP-01 Acid Storm, MP-02 Soundwave, Platinum G1 Predaking Reissue and Grimlock vs Bruticus. The mentioned Linkin Park gold Soundwave was also revealed.

I for one am extremely pumped for Grimmy vs Bruticus, Predaking (the box and toy both look AMAZING ) and MP Soundwave, who looks to be seeing release in July, at least in the US.

Good to see they're really getting into the possibilites of Platinum Edition and Generations.

Wow Bruticus is in his original SDCC colours, as well the G1 Predaking looks mighty fine and i'm loving the box art. MP Swave and Acid Storm is a must and for the Grim Vs Brut $170 is too much, might wait till TRU have a sale and then pick it up. Does anyone know if the platinum edition Predaking will come here? Hopefully at Big W

I hope Predaking does. He looks really cool and Big W would be great.

I thought Acid Storm had more black on him Can't really say I'm a fan of all that green.

So disappointed that they are using the SDCC colours for Bruticus, after most people paid over $200 for the SDCC version.
I want to collect the Platinum series for the display of the toys AND packaging, but not happy about the toy inside being the same as a previously released version.

I'm considering the PE PK. I've always had a soft spot for the 2010 reissue with the gold paint apps. 2nd time round perhaps?
Looking at Cheesewave's making me hungry. What happened there?
Acid Storm and SW are bought on sight

Welcome aboard

Neither have been released locally. The only one that we know of being released here at the moment is the Bruticus set & as BD posted previously it has been rescheduled for later in the year as opposed to it's originally scheduled release date of August. I havent seen any in the local independant comic/toy stores either.
The only Platinum Ed. Figures you may find could be leftover Magnus & Prime from Target's & Kmart's Toysale.
