Following on from the recent news story regarding the Australian release of Masterpiece Optimus Prime version 2, where we commented that we'd expect Toys R Us to pick him up within the UK, well it seems that Hasbro UK have now come out and pretty much confirmed out thoughts. TFW2005.com member Sweeny28 has posted a copy of an email reply sent by Hasbro UK to a question he posted them regarding a possible UK release. The email, which can be seen below, confimred that Hasbro are hoping to release the toy on these shores in the Winter and that they are looking for a major toy specialist to pick up the figure in order to distribute him.
Here's a copy of the full email:
"RE: Transformers MP10 Masterpiece Optimus Prime Thank you for your email.
We are hoping to be able to bring the Masterpiece Optimus Prime in to the Transformers line this winter and if available you will be able to find it major Toy specialist stores. More information will be available in the coming months
May we thank you for contacting Hasbro and if we can be of any further assistance, either now or in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Ozformers, the Australian fansite, is reporting that Masterpiece Optimus Prime will be released "down-under" in October this year at a retail price of $150 (that's Australian Dollars). This would work out as a $100 at US retail and, if Toys R Us US pick him up, probably an inflated UK price of between £80 and £100.
Planet Iacon have published an image gallery of the second Bathing Ape (BAPE) exclsive Convoy figure. This fgure is a recolour of the re-issue of Optimus Prime / Convoy but painted in an urban camouflage colour scheme. You can view the image gallery by following the link at the start of this article.
The Weibo page of tktf has been updated with a new colour image of the Super Deformed Convoy (Optimus Prime) that was previously seen in December 2010. So far there is no information on who is producing the figure, though it still appears that the toy will transform. Our bet is this could be a garage kit for Winter Wonderfestival, which takes place this month in Tokyo.
CMSCorp have updated their blog with another image of their upcoming 3rd Party Ginrai figure. The toy is the Godmaster (Powermaster) of God Ginrai (Powermaster Optimus Prime) based on the likeness from the Japanese Generation One cartoon series Super God Masterforce. You can view a mirror of the image below.
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.

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.

The World Hobby Fair 2012 recently took place in Japan which showed of some upcoming Transformers Prime figures as well as some new campaign Microns. The Optimus Prime figure that was shown appears to be a slightly recoloured version of the First Edition toy and is showned "powered-up" with the new Microns. which can be held by the figure or attached to points on his body. The first Micron to be named is Firebolt "Clear Version", who is a re-release of Pinpointer from the Power Core Combiners line, and was given away at the event.

The latest issue of Toy News Magazine confirms that the Transformers Prime toyline will be released within the UK in March 2012. The line, to be released in the Spring / Summer of 2012 will also include apparel / dress-up, furniture, lighting and outdoor toys (including bikes).
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.
