    Okay, it's official: The "one shall stand, one shall fall" shtick has gotten stale.

    And the longer commercial sucks.

    And they had to dub over the actual voice actors why?

    Voice actors may have only signed for episodes of the show and related commercials only. May not for any toy commercials. Can't take the original voices for toy commercials if it is signed that way. It's a common practice nowadays.

    ITs not misleading at all...he IS the leader of the group

    Kids don't use the size classifications and if you're going to be that picky, the bumblebee they showed isn't a scout, and you could argue you expected to pay less for him.

    To those of you who stand around (metaphorically speaking) in this thread polishing each others knobs while you bash on all things Prime... get a danged life already. Constructive criticism make sense because it actually provides something we rarely see around here, but just saying "this sucks" or "Hasblow blew it again" is just dumb.

    Could the commercial have been better? Possibly show actual children playing with the toys, transforming them, and engaged in play like the fondly remembered 80's commercials of our youth. Otherwise... I didn't think it was too bad for what it was.

    Sweet! Where's Hot-Shot?! He is obviously super important, why else would they have 2 of him per box and short pack the Vehicons which appear in almost every scene of this commercial!?

    clever idea hasbro, dont even show images of the actual decepticon toys so the kiddies wont even know they exist, and thus wont want them. and you can continue defecating out endless streams of yellow Bumblegarbage

    This STILL doesn't make me want Powerizers Prime or Megatron... Yeah, Hasbro heard you and they claim to care... doesn't mean they're gonna do anything about it, but they do care.

    Sorry, but I'm not buying that "retailer excuse" this time.

    I've seen the short version several times on Teletoon already. It's amazing how bad the impressions are. :lol  I honestly thought it was because Teletoon didn't have the rights to the voices on the show in commercials. But I guess not.

    Compared to every other TF toy commercial...this one was actually decent. I remember the horrible BW & BM commericals with one kid picking a fight with another kid and they decide to hatch it out with a TF toy battle....
