Here are a couple of video reviews for the TF: Prime RID Revealer/Deluxe Bumblebee figure courtesy of Peaugh and Optibotimus
As a bonus, here's Peaugh's review of the Transformers Generations Deluxe Skyshadow
By the way, Hasbro has announced during the 2012 Toy Fair that next year will be the year of the Transformers Generations, wherein the company is planning to release 40, yes 40, Generations figures. I'm willing to bet that majority of the said figures will be deluxe-classified.
My wallet's already weeping. And that's good. ^_^

Transformers: Prime Commander-class Figures
I'm really, really excited about this upcoming release of Cyberverse Commander-classes from the Transformers: Prime series, and I believe that these Robots In Disguise figures from the said show will continue to burn and expand the already-ginormous hole in my wallet.
Optimus Prime and Starscream has got 2 weapons each. Megs is a bit 'meh'. Bulkhead's, well, like what he's supposed to be — massive! Soundwave is just plain gorgeous; and it is indeed awesome that Hasbro has retained ability of Laserbeak to detach from his master, just like in the deluxe version.
I must say that I'm tipping my hat off to Hasbro toy engineers in making the TF: Prime figures (in all their respective classes) as show-accurate in their representation as possible.
Yup. I definitely can't wait.

Transformers: Prime Entertainment Pack feat. Bumblebee and Starscream
Ooooh boy, here comes another Entertainment Pack for Transformers: Prime.
I really like their take on Screamer's colorway in this future release.
As human tokens, M.E.C.H. Commander Silas and a M.E.C.H. Soldier tags along for the ride. I was half-expecting Special Agent William "Bill" Fowler and June Darby to be the ones included, but I guess bringing in some antagonists after the included kid-heroes in Entertainment Pack 1 makes more sense.
I'm willing to bet, hoping actually, that there'll be Entertainment Pack 3 which would include Agent Fowler and June.

What's up, Hasbro?
First you kick your North American fans in the dick by not releasing the TF: Prime First Edition figures in U.S. soil...
... then you make the remaining Movie Trilogy Series available only in Asia and Canada.
It seems that, for one reason or another, Hasbro is currently favoring the Asian market in terms of much-awaited releases.
Finally, you come up with crappy names that replace long-standing figure-size conventions.
I know, this new Transformers naming convention is geared towards kids, but I still don't get it.

- Deluxe-class figures are now called Revealers
- Voyager-class toys are now Powerizers
- Leader-class ones are now known as Weaponizers

TFC Targetroids
I never really paid attention (well, not too much attention, anyway) when these little fellas first came out, but upon seeing TFC's second wave of Targetroids, I think I can safely say that I am hooked. Or, I will be (if you want to be technical about it).
The second wave consists of the Warp vs. Ultra, and the Shadow vs. Thunder twin-packs. Those are TFC-verse's incarnations of Skywarp, Ultra Magnus, Nemesis Prime, and Thundercracker.
What actually caught my eye are the Seekers. The detail in each of these figs is already outstanding on its own, but seeing the 3 Seekers completed is just too good to pass on. Besides, these Targetroids' alt-modes make for wicked weapons for their respective deluxe-class or even Binaltech versions.
Yup. Too good, make that "too awesome", to pass on.
It's even greater to know that since the line is relatively new, I just missed on the first wave — those of Opticmax vs. Megashoton, and Hot Flame vs. Screamer. Needless to say that they're just Optimus Prime, Megatron, Hot Rod, and Starscream, albeit with cheesy namesakes.
One can forgive the other three's names, but "Megashoton"? That name is just overly queer!
By the way, TFC, can you make your images a tad brighter next time?
