The San Diego Comic Con resulted in a first look at the toys for hte 2014-2015 Transformers cartoon Transformers Robots in Disguise (not to be confussed with the US release of the 2000 Transformers series Transformers Car Robots / Transformers: Robots in Disguise.

The toys have nicely sculpted faceds to match the show, but fairly simple forms.

Good news for Australian and Malaysian Transformers fans as Masterpiece Prowl is now available in stores in both of these countries.  The release of the figure means that the US release can not be far away.

It's a sad day for European Transformers fans as Toys R Us are emailing any and all UK customers who ask about the availability of the Masterpiece Prowl figure, that the toy will no longer be made available in Europe by Hasbro Inc.  As a consolation they offer to give people a free gift if they purchase an item via the online website.  The exact cause is not known, it could be that stock which was going to be kepy for Europe will now be used in North America, as has been the case in the past, that the toy failed European safety tests, or that the market was simply not deemed strong enought to warrant the figures release.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your interest in 'Transformers Masterpiece Prowl'. We have been informed by Hasbro that unfortunately this item is no longer going to be released in Europe.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by this availability change.

However, as a goodwill gesture if you purchase a Transformers item on toysrus.co.uk by 31st July 2014, we will send you a FREE* limited edition die-cast Transformers figure which isn't available to buy in UK shops!


To accept this offer, you need to place an order on our website for any Transformers toy using the same email address we have sent this message to. A free die-cast figure will then posted to your delivery address separately by the end of August, subject to the terms below.

Kind Regards

当時のプロールのコンセプトスケッチの一つ。肩の変形や頭部が異なるのが面白 いです。ここからさらにブラッシュアップされて、あの形にたどり着いているん ですね。#TT_TF pic.twitter.com/PW1o3tWMWR
