Via Facebook user 草泥馬遊玩趣 Nimama’s Transformers we have our first in-package images of the new Transformers R.E.D. G1 Thundercracker and Transformers Prime Optimus Prime & Megatron.
These new non-transforming action figure were just found at a Toys”R”Us store in Taiwan. The images reveal an important packaging change in the R.E.D. line since the three figures are now packaged in closed windowless boxes featuring the character’s art in the front and images of the accessories in one side of the box. The back of the boxes show images of the figures which show the usual cartoon-accurate design of the R.E.D. line.
See all the images after the jump plus one extra out-of-the-package Transformers Prime Megatron pic. Let us know your impressions about these new R.E.D. figures on the 2005 Boards!

We barely just got the shockwave and galvatron wave last month.

So do these things actually exist or not? We've seen them photographed in Asia but they've not manifested over here yet.

When can we get these like on Amazon or retail? It\'s been a long time, and I really want these. I know it lacks a bit of paint but that\'s an easy fix. They look good together. But does anyone have any updates on when you can get them?

I don't see what the issue is with Megatron. It looks fine.
Tetratron
I still don't get why his fusion canon is only some faded purple at the bottom.

Weren't these guys supposed to go up back in July? I never saw them on the site.

The scale is actually better between all 4 Prime figures than I had expected. It's probably the best they could do short of making them all drastically different prices to reflect different sizes.

Okay. I said I wouldn’t be interested in the RED TFP figures unless there was a decent sense of scale. That box has been checked.

OPTIMUS PRIME24
optimus looks great! i agree the paint is lacking and looks like a KO but still looks amazing. kinda sucks about the plastic feel of him but it's passable. the accessories are great and love that they add the unmasked head, that's a nice touch. let's hope the other future prime figures can scale better to him. looking forward to getting him and megs when they come out.
VVa
I could do that myself, albeit amateurishly. But I still could!
Robogeek28
Could use more paint though.
VVa
AB CRUNCH AND OVER 90 DEGREES OF BEND. HELL YEAH.

I like the Megatron figure. But Prime l do not know.

Loved this series and the figures look great.
VVa
I'll agree there. Prime has very memorable portrayals of the characters and great designs for them.
Animation was great as well.
Though it's a bit weird they advertised the show as dark and when a character dies, they stay dead. But only characters that die are ones we barely even know. And even then , when more characters die it's because the actors are expensive.
Shizuka
The storytelling got repetitive towards the end, but it had good characterization and was entertaining. It's better than most Transformers series. At least it did something new and interesting with classic characters which is lacking today.
