More Transformers Prime toys: Kids trioOptimus PrimeInteresting that there are kids figures. Perhaps you get one with each guardian bot? And Prime is a deluxe, possible bigger one later? |

I've heard that Warpath is the last of the Generations/RTS line for a while. But wasn't there a report of an Arcee being listed alongside him at some point? It is Prime Arcee, there will be a wave of 6 deluxe Prime characters |

They are made of win, as the internet says. And it helps I have pre-built in interest as I like the show. Packaging really pops too!
RRP of $11.99. Bet Hasbro UK will charge £15 for them then.

I do like the look of the TF:Prime toys quite a lot. It helps that they have been given solid characterisation and have thus grown on me as characters but I quite like the general look of them as well.

I would argue the characterisation is far superior than in Animated. Nothing amazing, but at least it's not resting on: 'LOOK! WE JUST MADE 15 REFERENCES TO OLD STUFF IN THE LAST 5 MINUTES!!!!OMZG!'

I dunno, apart from Starscream and Soundwave, everyone elses personalities seem to be 'none but feel free to insert personality we had in other media here' I'm not saying that it is on a par with the more nauncedly characterised Transformers series (but then, they can't all be on the level of a Masterforce or a Beast Machines) but I'd say that the characters are fairly well defined. Yes, some of them are playing to the same schtick as was used in other series, but that is because it is a basic role which is fairly common across media - not just Transformers media. The non-too bright but basically well meaning bruiser is one that you can find all over the place, Hulk is like that for a lot of writers runs on Hulks comic for instance. Arcee certainly has far more of a distinct persona in what I have seen of Prime than she has ever been given anywhere else. When I say that the characterisation is strong I am not saying that it is necessarily strongly nuanced, but it is present in big, bold strokes. One of the virtues of having a small cast is that you get a chance to clearly define them. By contrast CR/RiD, much as I love it, doesn't have the room to actually define large numbers of its characters - the Car Brothers yes, but when it comes to teh car-ninja's you would be hard-pressed to single most of them out from the crowd.

I don't see any Robot Heroes figs, just the Rescue Bots, Activators and some newer figs that are sort of RH like. However, Rescue Bots are definite purchase.
Wow... First impressions of Prime are impressive! Compared to the DOTM stuff, its like quality over quantity! Really pleased with the look of all the Prime figs.

Only saw Prime and Arcee at Botcon but they both look good. I think they might be a touch smaller than current deluxes though.

Those Prime toys look great. I will probably have to pass though for 2012's MOTU line looks too good to miss and I don't have funds/space for both.
