    I'll take that G1/foc mash up Grimlock. That's something I wasn't expecting at all

    Packaging images of two of the gimmick Optimus toys have been released now as well, from the same source.

    Silver Knight Prime????

    Is it because he has a sword and shield?

    For some reason Target in America has a unified theme of Silver Knight Optimus Movie exclusives... and another one has shown up - for the Battle Masters line.

    A 2-pack of Optimus (redeoc w/ new left arm) & Grimlock (new - movie mould).
    Individually these are priced at the DLX price point, so if this 2-pack was released here, it would be about $60.

    It might also mean other Movie characters for this Battle Masters line... but from already buying the Optimus & Megatron 2-pack, I don't see this line lasting very long. It is not a collectable line, as the gimmick wears off within minutes of getting two, and you can only play with two at a time (so buying more is a waste if not seeking out certain characters... many of which don't look like pre-existing characters anyway).

    Voyager Grimlock and Deluxe Optimus Prime Two-Pack - Grimlock is the Fall of Cybertron toy, with a Generation 1 style deco. Optimus Prime is a silver chromed version of the Dark of the Moon Deluxe Optimus Prime, armed with one of the Generation 1 Predacon swords.
    This has now been found in America, and as expected from many of the Movie store exclusives, it is one of the "30".... but is one of the last - "29 of 30".
    It was found at the Target store near where BotCon is this year, for a very cheap US$30 (both toys on their own would be $40).
    (images in the link have Optimus looking very flashy, but definitely over-kill on the chroming)

    This is one of the exclusives coming here, but unlikely to be anywhere near $30. Since it is a Voyager & a Deluxe, it is more likely about AU$80 here.
