Have you seen what they've done to Optimus Prime? This is a sacrilege or something. There is a new line of transformer toys called "Alternators." The storyline is something like there was a big battle (imagine that) or something and a bunch of transformers were mangled beyond repair. So human car manufacturers created new bodies for these transformers that looked like actual cars (remember on the show when transformers did this naturally, instead of in recent years when they looked more like Playskool versions of real cars?). Anyway, some of these are pretty cool. I actually bought Rollbar, who is now a jeep wrangler. Anyway, Optimus Prime has been put into the body of a Dodge Ram SRT-10! Might as well have made him a Chevy Astrovan. Prime has to be large! Not just neck-truck large, but 18 wheeler large! Anyway, [url=http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=browse&product_id=17...'s the link[/url].

You should also check out the [url=http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=news&newsID=70BEDAAE... "Classics"[/url] line coming out in the fall while you're there. They very loosley resemble the classic transformers. Megatron is some kind of nerf or supersoaker looking gun. Judge for yourself.

One last thing, did anyone realize that they have [url=http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=browse&product_id=17376]Star Wars Transformers?[/url] I just realized that the vehicle transforms into whoever usually pilots it. The link is Han Solo & Chewbacca/Millenium Falcon. I don't know what to think about that.

that is the lamest version of optimus prime i've ever seen. I feel so lucky, because i bought a 20th anniversary (or whatever year it was)optimus prime toy a while back that looked just like the original cartoon version, only 50 times better than the old toys. So far i have yet to see a better version released. they used one in the Robot Chicken transformers bit in season one. I freaked out :)

but "neck" prime... downright stupid. comeone, he doesn't even look cool. that nerf gun megatron is pretty rediculous too :)

I'm buying "classic" megatron on principle alone, becaue the gun looks sweet! xD

Optimus could look a lot worse... they could have made in to a honda civic after all

Plus, those star wars transformers don't actually look like people when they're transformed. What a crappy toy, I rmemeber seeing a commercial on TV and thought they were stupid, this confirms it. George, don't you have enough money as it is?

I just about DIED when I saw the teaser for the Transformers movie this weekend...D

Too bad Michael Bay has his hands on it. I weep for the future.
