First look at Optimus Prime and Megatron for the upcoming Transformers War for Cybertron line
by Jonathan Tubbs on 01/29/2010 2 comments

The upcoming origin story game, Transformers: War for Cybertron, has fans excited with the return to the more familiar style that all have grown up with. We have seen leaked images for a figure line starting with Optimus Prime in his Cybertronian truck mode as well as the Transformers Collector's Club revealing the toy design for Bumblebee. UGO was able to receive new photos that give us our first look at the official look of the toys for both the Autobot leader and Decepticon leader.

I was skeptical at first when seeing the artwork for this game and the leaked image of Prime but I think my fears have now been set at ease. The feel of Optimus Prime is there when he is in his robot mode but also captures that "alien" look.

I've been pleased seeing Megatron being transitioned from a hand gun to a tank. However, his War for Cybertron version looks like a generic space pod that doesn't make him stand out. But since I would keep him in robot mode, that wouldn't matter too much. I do find it interesting that for Megatron's robot mode, his design follows more of Michael Bay's version rather than anything resembling his Generation 1 counterpart.

Release details are unknown but we can assume they will be available around the same time as the game. Thanks Ikiryou for the heads up.
