Transformers PRIME has invaded a New York City block! With the promotional push for the series gaining steam(and even a New Transformers PRIME Advertisement on the back of some new comics), a new billboard using these Transformers PRIME HUB Background Images has been spotted on a whole city block on Broadway! In addition, 2005 boards member ILoveDinobot has also reported seeing the following:
Also Times Square Toys R’ Us’s outside is completely covered in TF Prime. Like it’s a corner of the block and looks like half a hexagon, one side says “Transformers Prime”, one side is all the Autobots and one side is all the Transformers.On a related note, yes Transformers PRIME toys are coming but not in the near future. As with fellow HUB series GI Joe Renegades, toys for the respective series will not be available until Fall 2011 at the earliest. More images after the jump!

The banner will probably be at TRU until after black friday. Good promo spot for Hasbro.
Though they use the store facade all the time for advertisements/promos. War for Cybertron had a big promo back in July

If they had TFP toys coming out between now and Christmas, we would've already seen something by now.
There will be toys, but next year at the earliest. October, according to Hasbro.
My guess is this initial mini-series 'event' is primarily to get an audience to tune into the Hub, where they'll be exposed to advertising for the other shows, and the toys that are currently available.

Ok TF collectors, I m kinda of new to these opinions/facts. But to my experience collecting transformers for the past 23 years and seeing how HASBRO works, I bet my chiguaguas that this teaser banner is a cover-up for the toys to come. "THEY WANT US TO BE DESPERATE FOR THE NEW FIGURES" !!!But what do I know!!!!

ILoveDinobot
No problem! I am glad to see promotions in places I didn't expect to find them as well.

Thanks for the pics ILoveDinobot. I'm glad that the show is getting such a big promotional push, but I'm also disappointed that we have to wait so long for the toys.
