TAAU report Australia's first sighting of Transformers: Cybertron was at Toyworld in Runway Bay. Optimus Prime, Megatron, Thundercracker, Landmine and Dirt Boss were all sighted with the leaders priced at $69.95 (AUD) each.
Other TAAU members have reporting finding absolutely nothing new at their local stores, so it appears Toyworld Runway Bay may be unique... for now. Keep you eyes peeled, as the newest Transformer toys are sure to his stores nationally in the days to come!
