Animated Earth mode Megatron toy in CNN "2008 toy trends" clip?

http://money.cnn.com/video/#/video/n...asbro.cnnmoney

About a minute into the video, there is a Megatron toy on the table. He has a blaster in the left hand (Different from Cyb version) and also holding a sword that looks made up of helicopter blades in his right hand. The aesthetic of the toy looks different than the Cyb version to me!
Also looks like Voyager Earth mode prime is there and looks like a new Movie Bumblebee blaster toy too.

The blaster we've known about for a while I believe., might be the first time we've seen it's gimmick in action.. definitely Earth Megatron though, looks very nice. Prime's also a lot bigger than I thought. (Considering he has no rear section, bastards!)

What the hell version of Animated Prime is that? It's huuuuuuuge! Almost looks like a Leader sized version of his Earth mode.

Can't really make out that version of Megatron too well. It looks like it *could* be a Deluxe version since it's not too much bigger than Bulkhead, but it doesn't look like the 2-pack version we have just seen. Might be a Deluxe version of his Earth mode...?

Nice find.

Looks cool. The thing I found surprising about this video is the fact that he said, "you'll start to see these toys rolling out right.....uh right now". So is that a sign that we'll see them hit shelves earlier than June? (one can hope)

The Prime is probably a different version--something other than the Voyager, Deluxe, Leader, etc. (similar to other TF lines where we had hulking leaders, then more scaled down versions as well).

That's definatly not the Cybertron version. But more impressive to me is the half-transformed Animated OP that's freakin' huge next to the lady.

Thanks, man. After seeing that Prime again, I KNOW it's not the "regular" Prime we'll see hitting shelves with that Megatron figure. It's just TOO large--it's another Prime toy, but not part of the main line itself.
