We've got a bunch more new
Transformers Toy Galleries coming your way over the next few days, and we're going to be starting the ball rolling with the newest and hotest Transformers Prime releases. Fresh from Deluxe Wave 3 is the mainline version of the
Vehicon!
Every Vehicon knows how likely he is to be dismantled - either by the Autobots, or by a Decepticon commander in need of spare parts. Danger is part of the life for them, and they welcome it. To a Vehicon, happiness is loyalty to Megatron and a warm blaster cannon.So, to sum up the Transformers Prime Vehicon in a single word? Awesome. A total must-buy for all fans of the show, and even if you are not a Transformers Prime collector, track down a friend who is when this one hits and have a play about with it to experience one of the cleverest car to robot transformations in a few years. The Hasbro / Takara-Tomy designers have outdone themselves with this release.
Click the link below and check out the full gallery. Read on for a few more of this fan's thoughts on this awesome new toy!

A reminder for you friends - tune in to The Hub today at 8:30pm ET | 5:30pm PT to catch the all new episode of Transformers Prime. Titled Nemesis Prime, it is an episode where the title alone tells you most of what you really need to know about the series.
To get your motor running here are a couple of preview images by way of
i09 and the
Transformers Facebook page - then tune in to The Hub later today and catch the full episode!

Transformers Prime has made its Japanese debut! The show is accompanied in Japan by an intro made up of clips from the series, accompanied by a wonderfully out of place theme song. According to 2005 Boards member Sprocket the Arms Micron theatre segments are low budget CGI, with basically the three weapons floating around for the whole sequence, so probably your typical omake segment. In terms of voices, Starscream is less Steve Blum menacing and more flamboyant, Bumblebee is the same as ever, and Arcee likes to say "this is / you are the worst" a whole lot.
All the characters also say "Arms Up" when deploying their weapons, and "TRANSFORMMMM!" when transforming, even the Vehicons, which you might arguably have expected from previous Japanese Transformers dubs.
Check out the intro and ending credits videos below - notice also the ending credits show a "next time" segment in the credits themselves, a nice touch but not as seamlessly integrated as other examples of the style, such as the Tales of the Abyss anime.

Exciting tidbit of news coming from the
Snakas Blog, as it's been revealed that the exclusive for the
Transformers Generations 2012 book is none other than Artfire! This exclusive was guessed by many when the character appeared in the comic from Transformers Generations 2011 Volume 2. Artfire is (presumedly) a remold of Reveal the Shield Grappel, with Inferno's head and an Arms Micron. It is unknown if the Arms Micron is a new mold, or a redeco at this time.
This is but a teaser image, as TFW2005 user Ricochet has pointed out, with the official reveal and full-on images to be revealed in the coming weeks.
