Hasbro have sent us over a selection of official images today. First up – official images of the two San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Transformers items. Officially revealed here are the special collector’s packaging version of Dark of the Moon Ultimate Optimus Prime, which comes packed in vehicle mode and features a special sleeve for the box.
The second exclusive is Transformers Prime Optimus Prime. This first Transformers Prime toy to be available anywhere features a metallic paint finish and comes in a special box, with a removable Matrix styled clamshell. You can wear this Matrix part of the packaging around your neck, like you’re Galvatron!
Check out the official images of both by reading on!

Often within a week after the convention is over they will go up on HTS.

I might try and snag that Prime Optimus if its not sold out

Oh, okay. When will they be available this year? Too bad the SDCC exclusives kind of suck this year.

The SDCC exclusives usually do end up on the the Hasbro toy store site. At least the past few years they have, even if only for a limited time before selling out.
As for the BotCon exlcusives, any that are left over after the convention show up on the club store, which is different than the Hasbro store. Most of the time they sell out at the show though.

I'm sort of a newbie to the SDCC exclusives, but do they go up for sale on the Hasbro site? And just sort of unrelated, what about the Botcon exclusives? So many damn exclusives.
Basically, where and when can I get all these exclusives? I've never gotten my hands on one .

Oh dear God, being a Starscream worshiper and a G.I. Joe lover I'm torn between getting the rest of the Pursuit of Cobra line and all the as=wesome Transformers releases like Kre-O, Rodimus, and Unicron. DAMN YOU HASBRO!!!!!!!!!!!

ummmm…. i've never heard that rumor… there was the Movie Masterpiece F-22 Starscream…

is this toy a harbinger of things to come from the MP lineup? isn't the current rumor an F-14 based starscream as the MP-11?
Grimkid
Must have that starscream

Hm.. I'm a little bummed at the TFs at SDCC this year. I'll probably get the Starscream. That Hasbro line gets quite long

Oh that Cobra Screamer is so nice! & how purty is that packaging?

I might just try to swing all of these over my way …

IIRC from over at Hisstank, the street/retail version of the 2011 Skystriker is a single-seater.
The pics of the SDCC Starscream repaint looks like a 2-seater.
another plus.
I want this as a display trophy.

oh great i want that prime optimus but dont want to pay ebay triple prices

tfp Prime looks fun enough.
Optimus Clyde
I'm sure somebody has mentioned it before, but isn't it delicious — the irony that Chris Latta voiced both those characters? I love it. I'm going to think of this from now on as the Chris Latta two-pack.
Anguirus
Absolutely. It's appreciably different from things that are or will be on shelves, and it's really creative.

Is that Optimus from TFPrime? Why only Opitimuseses this year? Diggin the packaging tho, especially that trailer one.
G1Wheeljack
I'll be grabbing that Matrix box Prime assuming the prices is no more than $20, don't think I'd want to pay more than that for what seems an ok mold and a cool box.
Optimus Prime
I'm definitely buying the Ultimate OP just to display in its awesome box. Probably going to be insanely expensive, though.
