Great news everyone, Mr Dogworm of Seibertron.com has spotted Cybertron Primus in Dominoes for £49.99, and here is what he had to say:

I’m a weak, weak man

It’s the non-Unicron version by the way. I didn’t want it, but seeing it in the plastic just melted away my composure. That’s the best pic I could get of the receipt, though if anyone really wants me to I could scan it. Price was £49.99.

Primus is in US packaging, complete with boxart. HOWEVER- it isn’t an import, it came directly from Hasbro UK. It came the shame shipment as Skyshadow, Wing Sabre (okay, I’ll give you the space, by not the inelegant yank spelling ) and the SWTF Millienuim Falcon. It is worth noting that the Supreme Starscreams I saw in TRU were also in US packaging with boxart, so maybe Hasbro are just importing them? Do they sell Supremes on the continent?

It seems that Hasbro UK have completely axed the tech specs from the their boxes. Wing Sabre and Skyshadow just have their features listed in 12 (!) different languages.

Transformers The Game from Activision has been rated PG by the BBFC in the UK. The info provided by the BBFC also gives us an idea of what is included in the game.

There seems to be some short extras involving Armada, Energon and Cybertron and lots of very short video clips before and after levels. Also mentioned are 163 images, probably unlockable extras.

In total there are 28 minutes and 12 seconds of footage.

Woolworths have put up a listing for Classics Ultra Magnus Vs.Skywarp 2 Pack, which was previously a Target exclusive in the USA. The item costs £29.99. Note that in typical Woolworths fashion, the wrong picture is shown on the item listing.

The listing can be seen here.

Toys R Us UK have updated their website with listings for Cybertron Menasor and Cyro Scourge. These were released in the UK back in November 06 but are now available for anyone who is currently unable to find them.

They can be found here.

Play.com have put up a listing for a new DVD, entitled ” Transformers The Classic Episodes“, for release on 30th April in the UK. It is not clear who is producing this DVD or what will be on it. The price is £5.99, which means there will only be a couple of episodes.

Most likely, it is a “best of” set from Metrodome will a couple of Generation 1 episodes or a DVD from Paramount with some Energon and Cybertron episodes.

Toonami UK are now showing repeat viewings of Transformers Cybertron at 1:05am. There are 3 episodes being shown every morning.

Tomorrow, episodes #8-10 are being broadcast.
