Although the official launch of the Transformers Prime toys within the UK is not until March 2012, Argos are currently stocking some of the figures as of today. Most stores are already sold out of the few stock they received with fresh orders due to be delivered on Tuesday. So far we have received reports of Deluxe Wheeljack, Deluxe CliffJumper, Soundwave, Bumblebee as well as Voyager Optimus Prime being available though you need to be quick and should look to reserve your items online. You can find some handy links below:
One of the interesting reveals from the Argos website is a better looked at the blue and red recolour of Transformers Prime - Bumblebee whos is shown as having a new head sculpt. Click the image below to view a larger version of the reveal.
We have also received reports that other stores are expecting to start to receive cases of the Wave 1 figures around mid-Feb so we will all be able to pick up some of the other toys then.
In related news two images of a previously unseen Transformers Prime Megatron figure have been posted on a Chinese newsgroup. The images, mirrored below, appear to be of a different Megatron figure to the one shown in the Argos Catalogue.
YouTuber BM8709 has posted a video review of the Transformers Prime Cliffjumper figure that he picked up in Argos yesterday. You can view the video below.
Finally, FullMetalHero.com board member GamOfStreak, has posted some nice images of the just released Transformers Prime Wheeljack figure in both robot and vehicle modes which you can find here.

The launched will be supported by TV advertising a sticker collection from Panini and the Transformers Prime magazine so expect the figures to be included in the latest Argos catelogue which is out soon.

In a follow-up to the news we broke last weekend regarding the new Spring / Summer Argos Catalogue, I thought I'd let you know what a trip to our local Argos store found out about the figures currently in stock.
The 25th Anniversary Deluxe toys come up as Universe deluxe, with one in stock. That one was Ironhide.
The Voayger figures come up as four in stock, but when I asked for a viewing I was told they only have one figure in the back. That was Decepticon Dropshot.
Leader class Megatron is not in stock yet so it is the Shadow Blade version of the toy.
The Animated deluxe toys only came up as one available and that was Oil slick.
Obviously things may vary amoungst Argos stores, but it will give you an idea of what is currently in.
