10th Anniverary Optimus and Megatron to come with...

...miniature replicas of their factions' respective ships! (As found out in the most recent addition of the Master Collector newsletter... sorry, it's a club-exclusive thing, no pics.)

I cant wait to get them, I've been wanting a brand new Optimus Primal since Beast Machines. I hope Rattrap would get this treatment one day.

Pictures gone.

Am I the only one who knew about this for a few months.

I think I already know the answer, but I'm asking just to make sure-- those aren't the final paint jobs, right?

Since there are other transformers with final paint jobs, that's probably the case with Primal and Megatron.

Actually, Taz-Bot? Could you remove the link to the pic scan? I was over at the TF Collector Club boards, and there's already a discussion about how posting scans of newsletter pics is not allowed (apparently, it's happened on TFW2005.com, calling for the removal of a scan). Basically, it's copyrighted material, and the site could get in trouble if we still have the link in here. Discussing the news article is perfectly fine my the TF Club (after all, that info is open to anybody anyway); only posting scans of the newsletter isn't allowed. Thanks, chico.

And TH, nobody knew that the 10th Anniv. Primal and Megatron figures would come with miniature ship replicas, because the ship replicas weren't even announced until now.

Why, what's wrong with them? With the exception of Primal's red hands, they look pretty good.

Anyways, forgot to mention one other thing-- Primal and Megs will also be coming with a mini IDW BW comic book.

I thought he was talking about the toys in general.

Couldn't they have made them alittle bigger?

Beastbot · Unread post by **Beastbot** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 10:54 pm

Not without raising the price point above $15, considering they come with a DVD, a mini IDW comic book, and a miniature replica of their respective faction's ship.

Tigerhawk · Unread post by **Tigerhawk** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 11:25 pm

So they are only gonna cost $15.00?

Yeah, otherwise Hasbro would have to release another pricepoint for the BW10th Anniversary toys, and most stores wouldn't like that, considering how many pricepoints Transformers already has.

Okay, since this will be the first time I've actually gone shopping for BW toys *ignores the gasps of shock* Where are they sold, when will they be sold and that's the American price, isn't it?
