The Movie Tie-ins and Merchandises Thread

[Crimson King]

They are the forms they take to come to Earth. Sort of like meteors. Though I get confused because some people are calling Megatron's form a protoform but he doesn't look like a space turd like the rest.

I think the Protoform is just how they looked on Cybertron, which is why Megatron is said to still be in Protoform in this movie. He'll take an Earth mode later (and maybe silence some of the design critics). Prime looked exactly like his Protoform toy in the prequel comics.

 

[SuperJediHero]

can anyone tell me when all these merchandise will be in stores?

What stores will have what?

Btw, Target have Tee for sale this week

 

[nosebleed.]

See- he's gray and blue. What happened to the red and blue? Completely different look.

Do we see an Optimus Prime that looks like that in the film? Or is that just something for fans to buy that isn't necessarily in the film?

Oh and, does anyone know what poster comes with it? (says on back of box, I believe- that there is a poster...)

Optimus lands on earth in that form. Look at the bottom right...sort of meteor-like shape. We'll probably see the meteor shape but whether we'll see that actual robot form...I don't know and I doubt it. We WILL see Ironhide's protoform as he steps out of the pool though.

We do see Prime start to transform from protomorm form, just how much we see is yet to be seen. I guess it would be kinda cool if we see him get up and walk away, but all we see is his feet or its to dark to clearly see him.

Just heard over at Siebertron that BK toys start June 25th.

Hopefully the employees can see which ones they are- I hate it when the cover them up like with SM3 and Sith.

I really need help deciding. Robovison is closer to the actual movie design yet leader is a nice big transformer. I like big. I also don't too much like the back of Robovision voyager prime yet this prime that cooler looking guns. These will be about the only movie toy I will buy and I want it to be the right one. If anyone can help lead me towards the right desicion I would gladly appreciate it. Thank you.

I think Leader Optimus Prime is the better choice. It is bigger, has more function, and a better transformation. It is also in the correct scale size compared to the other autobots.

It still depends on your perferences though

Thanx spidey zero. anyone else?

 

[Tempest19]

Leader? Don't know what that is... personally I'm picking up the BIG Optimus Prime and then the robot actuals- or something like that- mentioned it earlier... not really toys, but ALOT of detail has been put into them.

 

[SpideyZERO]

This is the Leader class Optimus Prime

 

[SuperJediHero]

Alright, what everybody is getting today?

 

[Timstuff]

I'm hoping to snag Voyager Prime and Megatron.

 

[Tempest19]

Just got a BIG Bumblebee stepping on a car. Very cool.

Got it for just fifteen bucks. I've always wanted a huge Bumblebee to go along with a leader Prime and Megatron, so this looks to be it.

That motorized Bumblebee ariving in September is beyond my price range ($100).

 

[AyeCapn]

its a big plastic statue, and doesn;t transform. wheee :|

 

[Tempest19]

?

Getting the big ones and robot replicas. As I started getting older- collected more for collection and display than "playing with." So, yeah- in my books, based on what I get, I go for the higher detailed variations.

 

[SpideyZERO]

My local Toy R Us sucks. No Leader class Optimus Prime yet, so I get Ironhide instead. Love him!

 

[Nivek]

I made the oddessy last night to 2 Wal-marts. No one was stocking them at either location and i got their at midnight. well, needless to say I got Rampage and leader Optimus Prime. Now, i've heard in the past people refer to the as cheap looking, but I think they are some of the best designed, and . SOLID Transformers Hasbro has made in years. Leader Optimus was a challange the first couple times, and just looks damn Rampage looks cool.

 

[Timstuff]

My Wal-Mart did not have any TFs, and I was gonna go to Toys R Us but I didn't get to.

 

[The Guardian]

HI GUYS, I WENT TO WALMART AND TOYS R US TODAY AND PICKED UP ALL THE TRANSFORMERS FROM THE MOVIE, EXCEPT MEGS, FOR SOME REASON NONE OF THE STORES HAD HIM YET, BUT THAT'S OK I'LL SNAG HIM IN THE FUTURE!!! THE FIGURES ARE VERY NICE, A BIT EXPENSIVE FOR THE LARGER ONES LIKE STARSCREAM, BUT THEY'RE WORTH IT!!! I PICKED UP THIS BAD BOY TODAY ALSO, VERY COOL, I CAN'T WAIT TO PICK UP MEGS AND SEE WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE, ANYWAYS FUN STUFF, GOOD LUCK FINDING THEM GUYS, HAPPY HUNTING!!!up:

[Tempest19]

Are they putting out a Leader class Megatron in the 2nd wave?

There is a Leader Megatron dude. There's a pic of it even.

Check Hasbro's official site- I think that's where I saw the pic.

 

[Timstuff]

I've been looking around online and I haven't seen any sites that are selling Voyager class Optimus Prime or Megatron. Are they not out yet? Those were the two that I want most.

 

[SpideyZERO]

They are Wave 3...I don't think they are out yet
