We can. It's a Wal-Mart exclusive and I believe it's already released.

Already released and peg-warming like a boss.

You mean, the little one with the Mechtech gun that has the energon axe unfold out of it? THAT is the deluxe? Got that one. Was disappointed with it and got the Voyager. And now I have a G1 with Trailer on it's way to me. Wish the PP01U wasn't such a disappointment. That might stop my "Prime Hunt". LOL!!!

It is, and he's a pretty fun little guy.

Umm... yes?

What kept you from figuring that out? That it was deluxe sized, deluxe priced, or packed in deluxe packaging?

You can pick all 3 if you need to.

It would be nice of more versions of Prime and Magnus were compatible with the BTS- Matrix of Leadership upgrade. Prime really isn't the leader without it... technically. I'm just sayin...

Dude, I've only been back into collecting these for a couple of weeks, so pardon me if I miss something or don't know something that you 1000 piece collectors intimately know. We don't all know everything. I certainly don't.

Sorry, but you purchased an American release OP Deluxe then asked if we were getting a release of the toy you already knew about and owned. A little bit of cynical sarcasm was deserved.

So I missed something. It happens to the best of us. What probably threw me is this two pack being Takara, not the HASBRO WALMART EXCLUSIVE Deluxe OP that I have. Maybe there is no difference between the Takara and the Hasbro. I was under the impression that the Takara wasn't already available at Walmart, as I haven't seen them there yet. Not a big deal. When my G1 OP arrives with trailer, l'll have three Primes and will already have both of these with the G1 trailer being the only difference. Time to move on and collect some Decepticons.

Takara is domestic in Japan, and I'm really not sure if there are going to be differences between Hasbro's Deluxe and Takara's, guess we'll just have to wait and see. No worries, no harm, no foul.

Love the paint job on the gun and the gold on the truck.

Play nice please. No real need to argue about this issue and make a new member feel uncomfortable here.

Ugh, Razor, how do you keep track of all of this? Go see Minerva.. you need a fembot to check your condition

Is this available for preorder somewhere? Like Blurrz, I missed this as well.

I think we could use more Femmebots around here. I have a picture somewhere of a pretty girl playing with a BTS trailer and some transformers... let's see...





Woman of my dreams. LOL!!!

But yea, a lot of info that's hard to keep track of for a returning collector like me. Trying my best to catch up on everything.

It may be one of the dozen or so unspecified preorders on BBTS. Good luck.

I don't see it on BBTS

I was on the fence about the Megatron set but now that I know it's the original Megs with out the modifications for super gun mode I'm on board. I definitely getting the Prime set as I love that deluxe DOTM mold and he has a new mechtech gun.

It could be DA-31 or DA-34, which have no other descriptions, and a generic place holder picture which all the incomplete listings have.

Pass for both. I'm disappointed that neither of the G1 figs are coming with their original accessories. The DOTM Megs looks good.

Um, just checked the prices on BBTS. Obviously not getting Megatron from there but the Prime set is way over priced in my opinion. $160 for 2 deluxe robots and a trailer?

Oh wow my post count is my birth year. Couldn't have done that if I tried.

Slagging slag! I just bought deluxe Prime yesterday! I really want a trailer for him...maybe Christmas this'll still be around.

He's worth getting the repaint and this set but not at $160

Hmm, its disappointing the megatron is an altered version. Though I'd still very much like to have a g1 megatron. I guess I'll get if.....the price is right </bobbarker>

I had one back in the 80's. Butt stock, scope and all. I feel myself being drawn to a lot of the G1's... I'm still trying to get my head around Megatron being some sort of "tanker truck" as the Voyager class figure vehicle form from DOTM, when I can't recall seeing Megatron transform at all in DOTM. I don't recall him transforming in ROTF either. Now I'm going to have to watch that one again to see his transformation.
