    Like This? The look didn't come out to good for Bumblebee when it was done.

    For sure I'll be getting the Starscreams. Other than that the Eradicon, mabey Wheeljack and perhaps Soundwave. Others Not so sure.

    For me the show has been enjoyable but nothing so special that I have to run out and pick up everything.

    The show is really bad. If I liked the show, I might want some of the characters, but now I'll stay clear. I'll only buy a Prime toy if it's out-of-this-world-spectacular.

    That Voyager Optimus is stunning. Deluxe Starscream looks sexy, but I keep hearing of an eventual Voyager. Bumblebee looks pretty tops.

    The Arcee toy is overrated. It's aight, and I like her in the show, but I don't get why the toy get's all that much praise.

    so far, judging from the pics shown, I will be purchasing Starscream, and at least one Vehicon....and a Wheeljack too if it looks like the pics.

    Hell yeah! I liked the four deluxes we saw awhile ago, but never watched the show. After seeing the great new toys coming out I watched some episodes on youtube. Great show! Can't wait for the toys now!

    If possible, I'd remove all the movie toys from the shelves and replace them with Prime toys.

    I will buy them all.

    I haven't actually watched the show yet but I absolutely love the look of the toys, near enough all of them, especially Cliffjumper, the Vehicon, Wheeljack, Skyquake and Soundwave. I'm now glad that I've resisted the urge to pick up any of the DOTM toys so far, there may be 2 or 3 that I'll get eventually (e.g. one of the Soundwaves) but I think I'll save my money and wait for the TFP toys to be released and collect those instead. Also, I read on IGN the news from the TF Prime panel about some fan favourite sub-groups that will be appearing in Season 2, so the designs for those have the potential to be awesome!

    I've seen a pic where the TFP Prime & Megatrom Entertainment pack has a release date of October, which sounds promising. But I've read that the release date for some of the TFP toys (Cliffjumper, Vehicon, Bulkhead, Voyager Prime) in the US is the 1st of December, is this correct or does anyone think they could move this forward? What about Bumblebee, Arcee and Starscream? Does anyone think they will appear somewhere inbetween? I was hoping at least some of them would be available before December as my wife and I are visiting her family in Florida for around 2 weeks in the run up to Thanksgiving like we do each year and I always use that trip to buy the TF's I want (often ones that are never released in the UK or won't come out for months). AFAIK there is no confirmed release date for TFP toys in the UK, only that they will definitely be released here... knowing our luck sometime in summer 2012.

    Yeah definitely. For the most part they look fantastic. Sucks we have to endure months of DOTM shelf warmers to actually get our hands on them.

    I'm on the fence. They're good-looking toys but I don't really buy merchandise for properties that I'm not enthusiastic about, and Prime has been one of the dullest TV series I've ever watched. It's like part of me feels as if I'm rewarding somebody for being mediocre.

    I want them, but i have to resist. I've literally bought toys from every line since i started collecting 3 years ago, i have to make this the one that i just forget about, especially since i bought all of the animated toys.

    I won't be collecting the whole line, but I will be getting figures that I like and putting them with my Classics display.

    Yes.

    Wasn't keen on the first 3 deluxes revealed (Bumblebee, Arcee and Starscream) and the Entertainment pack but the SDCC reveals have been great so far.

    (Non-zombie) Cliffjumper and Bulkhead are guaranteed buys. Cliff is worth buying just for his alt mode.

    Stock images of Voyager Prime looked awesome but the actual figure not so much. Possibly due to the dull plastic colors. Truck mode also doesn't look much better than the Entertainment pack deluxe's. Will probably hold out on Prime since a character like him might get another shot at a more detailed figure in a larger size class.

    Of the figures shown on the slide presentation, possibly Voyager Starscream, Soundwave and Wheeljack. Need to see more of Skyquake and Knockout to decide.
