Great news for UK Transformers fans who, like us, have not yet picked up a MP-10 Masterpiece Optimus Prime as Hasbro UK have confirmed on their Facebook page that the figure has now arrived within the UK and will go on sale in Toys R Us stores over the coming weeks.  Their exact post was "Hi Guys, we're pleased to say that stock arrived in the UK last week. You should see it in Toys R Us stores in the next few weeks. Please keep in touch with your local store to understand their stock plans."

Below you can find a video review of MP-12 Lambor (Sideswipe).

A new image has been published of the BigBadToyStore exclusive (within the US at least) Transformers Prime Dark Energon Knock Out figure.  The toy, which can be seen below, is a translucent recolour with the bio "KNOCK OUT doesn't often test weapons himself - the danger of a catastrophic malfunction is just too great.  But when he saw the power granted by Dark Energon he just had to have a taste.  Now he's amped up and ready to bring the hurt to the AUTOBOTS".
