Hot on the heals of the first US sighting, UK based seibertron.com member AdamPrime has come across a couple Weaponizers Bumblebees at his local Tousrus in Exeter, Devon.
He hasn't seen any Optimus Primes though, and the price he quotes is GBP Sterlin 34.99

For those who do not know, Weaponizers are a new range of Transformers toys roughly at the Leader scale with an emphasis on weapons reveals. Currently the only two are Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.
The following reference images are taken from the earlier article on the figures being available at Walmart.

I still cant get over optimus primes torso looking too stiff.
I hope theres some posability.

And i would only get optimus if they make a megatron weaponizer.

Bumblebee just a waste

Some extra info, guys:

Seen at the Exeter store.

Priced at £34.99!

No Primes on the shelf. It's odd, 'cause I was just in the store a couple days ago - someone must'a snapped up the Primes as they came in... I'd guess it's a 2+2 case.

Thanks for the cred!

As some fans would attest, how many have actually been good?

Seriously though, I will skip these as "The" Optimus Prime and oversized Bumblebee. However, I am gonna wait for Arms Master Optimus with the Matrix.

I'll quite happily pick up both. In 6 months or so when they hit clearance. I'd quite happily pay full price if they'd used some new characters that there weren't already many versions of and gone for characters that were appropriately sized against the rest of the line. At least these look to be an improvement on the likes of Animated Roll Out Command Prime, but given that I only parted with £15 on that lump of plastic I don't mind him so much as a 'centrepiece' figure among my Animated bots. These guys will eventually fill that same role on my Prime shelf.

energon and galaxy force meggs have been good.

First movie megatrons ok. And i like the rotf megs(least kibble of
any leader class) the only prob is his gimp arm.

But i love!! tf prime megatrons design and i know they can give us a great leader class from it..

His voyager class ok but the ball stubs dont support his arm weight let alone his fusion cannon. And mine cant stand anymore cause his body weight

You guys know that Hasbro will be re-releasing the first editions at ToysRus this November.And these weaponizers will be mainly hollow, the optimus has a backpack, hollow gun and chest, And a gashing hole in his torso like Megatron carved him like a pumpkin and put a little LED light inside. The First Editions can top this, and those of you who cant afford first editions right now, wait until November and buy them cheap from ToysRus in the U.S.

Transformers Weaponizers are now listed in the new Argos home shopping catalogue and on their website for £34.99. Not really interested in these two releases (Optimus Prime and Bumblebee) but keen to see the later waves of TF Prime Deluxe figures such as Vehicon, Hotshot or Knockout, so I have placed an order at my local store to see what they have in stock at the moment?
I will post this evening if anything of interest arises!

I have a funny feeling that the UK won't get the reissued First Editions. I don't think we got them first time round either.

Animated. Simple and effective. I really want an Energon one too.

Armada's Ultra-class Megatron is pretty slick as well. He's a brick, but he looks so good it's okay.
