A commercial for the Transformers Prime Weaponizers has begun airing on Cartoon Network and CN Too in the UK. Check it out below - it features some nice new CGI made for the commercial to show off the Weaponizer gimmick.
Pretty cool! Too bad the toys don't look as good as their animated counterparts.

Wow, animation in the commercial?

Xzbit

Same here.

The weaponizer gimmick looks fantastic in animation, on the toys....not so much.
But hey atleast we finally got some new toy commercials.

I've been seeing it lots on CN recently, it's absolutely hilarious how they just stand there shooting the everlasting shit out of everyone with those massive guns
Sol Fury
Yeah, been seeing it in the commercial breaks on Thundercats. Like the fact there's some CGI in there - reminds me of the good old G1 adverts where there would be little bits of animation to go with the toys.

Optimus needs shoulder gatling guns in the show now!

hey kids lets buy a pointless wates of plastic (bumblebee) that should have been a megaton !
Nexus Prime
Face at the end creeps me out.
Bahamut Prime
Like the others said, if only the toys look as good as the animation!
Shin Densetsu
That was an awesome commercial

I bought both, and Bumblebee is actually a little better than Optimus.
TylerMirage
Very impressed that they put animation in there. That first shot of Bumblebee almost seemed show-quality.
Leather Elbows
Hope to see them use those in an episode
Noideaforaname
Whoa, new animation just for the commercial, neat!
Can't help but think the Decepticons need something big in return. The Bots get Optimus Maximus and these guys yet the Cons get... shortpacked.
Galvatron Rage
I just think it's cool that the gimmick works and is integrated well in both modes. That's some really cool design/engineering - which is a large part of why I love Transformers!
SlaveToLogic
Because there isn't enough destruction in Transformers.
MUST ADD MORE!

I thought the commercial took a scene from an upcoming episode. Was this animation made specifically for this commercial?

I doubt it. The animation is good for a 30 second commercial, but still nowhere near the quality of the show's usual work - even their most poorly animated episodes. But there's always the chance that I'm wrong.

Well I wouldn't mind if they made it into the show. If they do, the Hammer of Solus Prime will probably have something to do with it.

The models themselves seem to be the ones used for the show. I'm guessing they might have gotten the same studio to do it, but they just didn't have the same amount of time to polish the animation.

Yeah, seems plausible. Like I said, it's good animation, but not quite up to snuff with the show's usual work to make me think that it's actually footage from the show itself.
Enigma2K2
I'll be glad when the First Edition commercials start.
Ribieconvoy
I wouldn't mind seeing Prime with those weapons in the show. I hope we get a Megatron for Weaponizers wave 2, if there is one. Or better yet, Breakdown since he's not getting a Voyager release in the states, and he's the perfect kind of bot for a gimmick like this.
SPLIT LIP
That was a better gun fight scene than any in the actual show.
What. The. FUCK.

Did anyone else burst out laughing when that lady's face popped up at the end?
moreprimeland
Pretty good ad...I like mine.
Hiro Prime
A great ad for a pair of fun toys. What more could fans ask for except more figures.

Well fuck my hat - Hasbro are actually promoting Transformers in the UK outside of Bot Shots/Speed Stars! What next? Half-decent distribution??
GAUGE0001
I wonder if that footage is part of some upcoming episode

I think it's just me...but every time I try out the shoulder cannons on weaponizer Prime when I visit a store, the cannon racks slide up but the cannons themselves don't come down..unless you tilt it of course.
Nice to see some original animation, better than just showing the raw toy
Commercial sure does wonders for these turds. As much as I want to be a Prime completionist, I just can't bring myself to pick these guys up at full retail price.

this, but you gotta remember that Weaponizers were solely made with the intent to sell to kids and kids only... minus the complexity of transforming these..
