Thanks to Soundwaves for reporting, on our Transformers forum, that Toys R Us UK have reduced the price for the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime from £49.99 to £29.99! You can pick the toy up in stores, or order online This is a great chance to pick up the figure, especially if you do not own the piece. Here's Soundwave's report
"Anniversary prime is reduced to £29.99 from £49.99 in Chatham Toys 'r'
Us, and hopefully country-wide...this was mentioned a couple of months
back but no sightings were made, but I can confirm that the reduction
was shown on the shelf-label and the price goes through the till
correctly."

Hasbro have updated
Transformers.com with the following release. Visit the Hasbro site to view images of these figures.
AllSpark Powered: 2008 Wave 1 and 2 Voyager, Wave 2 Deluxe
Wave 1 Voyager
FIRST STRIKE OPTIMUS PRIME
When the AllSpark was destroyed, the war against the DECEPTICONS ended in one stroke. OPTIMUS PRIME was bathed in the power of the shattered AllSpark. The gaps in his armor gleam with ancient energy, his eyes and voice pulse with power. He has become a living receptacle of the creative power of the AllSpark, capable of healing – or destroying – with the merest thought. Despite this, he remains dedicated to peace. As a symbol of this dedication, he has altered his exterior decorations to match the ones he bore as a young leader, before the beginning of the war.
OFFROAD IRONHIDE
Infused with the power of the AllSpark, this old warrior feels like he just rolled off the production line. It's great to feel young again, and with the war over IRONHIDE feels free to indulge his wild side in the mountains and deserts of Earth. Together with his new human friends, he's having the time of his life conquering the most challenging trails on the planet, from Death Valley to the darkest Amazon basin. Of course, if something gets in his way he can't drive over, well, he can just blast his way through it with his newly supercharged weapons systems. No one said the end of war meant he never got to blow stuff up again.
EVAC
When EVAC received the transmission from OPTIMUS PRIME inviting the surviving AUTOBOTS to Earth, he knew he was needed there immediately. The final battle against MEGATRON could only have resulted in massive damage to the world, which meant that his skills would be critical. As a rescue specialist, EVAC has spent his life traveling from one disaster zone to the next, protecting and saving those he could. He is totally fearless, willing to risk anything to help his fellow sentient creatures.
Wave 2 Voyager
INCINERATOR
Since the end of the war and the destruction of MEGATRON, more and more individual DECEPTICONS have been appearing on Earth chasing rumors that their leader still lives. Most choose to remain hidden from the AUTOBOTS who have stayed behind to defend the world, but not INCINERATOR. He's actively hunting AllSpark enhanced AUTOBOTS, reasoning that one of them must know where MEGATRON is. When he catches an AUTOBOT, INCINERATOR takes him on a little ride, swooping and diving dangerously, hovering over canyons and volcanoes, and generally terrifying whatever information he can out of his victim. When he's done, he just finds the deepest hole he can and drops his helpless prey in.
Wave 2 Deluxe
STOCKADE
Drawn to Earth by a DECEPTICON homing signal after the final battle for the AllSpark, STOCKADE quickly hooked up with STARSCREAM and a few other surviving DECEPTICONS. He's a simple guy, content to follow orders from whoever's in charge, as long as those orders involve kicking AUTOBOT tailpipe. Back on CYBERTRON, he was an enforcer, threatening neutrals into staying neutral, and punishing those who seemed to have a problem with their audio receptors. With STARSCREAM building a base of power on Earth, STOCKADE has more than enough work to keep him occupied.
