Official Images of Transformers Chronicle Optimus Prime & Megatron

From E-Hobby:


As seen on TFW2005, these official images for Transformers Chronicle Optimus Prime and Megatron come to us from E-Hobby. These sets, released by Takara Tomy, pair reissues of the G1 Optimus and Megatron toys with their respective Transformers: Dark of the Moon counterparts.

The included trailer for Optimus is based on the one seen in the Dark of the Moon film, and can be shared between both the G1 and deluxe DOTM toys. As of now, the deluxe-sized movie Prime mold can only be found as a Wal-Mart exclusive from Hasbro. This upcoming version has an updated deco with fuller paint on the arms and a unique mech-tech weapon.

The DOTM voyager Megatron from the Decepticon set appears to have a darker, more contrasting set of colors than the regular Hasbro release, but that may be the simple result of a doctored up prototype photo. The G1 Megatron reissue appears to be made entirely of plastic, and seems to only include the scope add-on, but will still be a nice addition to anyone's collection.

The Transformers Chronicles sets are to be released in August of 2011 for 9,240 Yen, or 117 US Dollars, each. You can pre-order them HERE from Big Bad Toy Store.
