Hasbro chose to ride the publicity wave the Transformers brand is enjoying after the Transformers: Dark of the Moon Super Bowl commercial by releasing a first look at several toys from the new Transformers Prime television show.
The images, released as exclusives spread amongst several websites today, include the Prime designs for Autobots Bumblebee, Arcee and Optimus Prime along with Decepticons Megatron and Starscream. Optimus and Megatron will be packaged together in an entertainment pack that also includes a trio of unnamed anime influenced human kids.
Transformers Prime airs on Hasbro’s The Hub channel and stars the voices of Peter Cullen and Frank Welker as Optimus Prime and Megatron, respectively. Cullen and Welker also provided those character’s voices for the 1980’s generation 1 Transformers cartoon, and Cullen also voices Optimus in Michael Bay’s Transformers trilogy.
