The Premium Series Leader-class figures, Optimus Prime and Megatron, have been sighted at mass retail in the United States. Yours truly found them at Meijer stores in Elgin and Rolling Meadows, Illinois. Each case of the assortment currently contains one Premium Series Optimus Prime and one Premium Series Megatron. For more information on these two figures from our Resource database, click the links attached to their names above.

i personally am going to pass on the prime just because of owning the 1st edition one plus the night watch version…cannot justify 3 of these things,
the megatron one i am going back on forth on getting…i have the 1st edition one but way way like the new colors on the premium version.

For people who already have both the firsts Prime and Megs, would these two figures be worth while getting?
Need an honest opinion because these two figures are very tempting. Huwaaaa…
Galaxy Convoy
Yeah, screwing over the retail stores to get back at Hasbro really makes a whole lot of sense…
Optimus Prime
Yeah, I was really disappointed when they turned out to be yellow on the original, and even more disappointed to find out that they are still yellow on the Premium version. I never understood the yellow in the first place…

I'm waiting for my Megatron to arrive from BBTS

That is just what hasbro deserves for releasing TWO of the same figure designed to be the same character too (IE: NOT a different paint job such as Night Watch Prime)

Is it just me, or does Premium Prime look more like a robot rabbit and less like the movie? I am not sold on this figure and will be sticking with my original as I prefer the head from this mold. I may try to find the sword in a separate purchase. I am still in the air about Megs. I will have to see him in person to make the proper judgment.

Takara knows whats up, I have confidence they will.

There was already a videoclip of Premium Prime showing his new features. He still has the yellow lights I'm afraid.
I'm curious if TakTomy will change it up for their release.

I want to know if Hasbro finally stuck in the damn BLUE lights for his eyes and chest. I just do not understand why they advertise the blue lights on the back, but have not included them in ANY of the Primes.

Judging by these pics (found at the Allspark) I guess they didn't. It isn't really that hard to fix yourself right?

booooo. . . I went premium hunting and all I found was a big daddy and a masterpiece screamer. Too bad the screamer wasn't on clearance anymore. . .

I really want a Premium Optimus, but I have a feeling I'll be resorting to ebay
I kind of want the new BB for the stealth mask, I'll probably pick it up if I happen across it, otherwise I won't bother.
The midsection of his left and right arm should be switched; if they were in their proper locations, their screws would be facing towards his body and be less visible.

Whoops! Yeah, Prime got remolded, and Bumblebee has the sweet looking battle mask from the stealth BB figure.

And Prime is remolded. Energon axe instead of gun, and new head.
Rayzilla Prime
My aunt wants to get me a bunch o' Transformers because she wants to buy me something. I put Premium Megs on my want list, despite getting the first one (which I will call "Project: 'Ice Man' Megatron" if/when I get Premium Megs).
butz
Terminology to justify more repaints because retailers wanted more movie figures, and Hasbro didn't have any more new molds.

*ahem*
In terms of these Transformers
