With the Transformers: Animated cartoon in full swing, fans are eagerly anticipating the tos that go with it. The latest item to appearing in package is the Optimus Prime V Megatron – The Battle Begins pack with a DVD containing one part of the special movie, “Transform and Roll Out!”.
The bio on the back of the packaging can be read below with all the images over at ACtoys.
Until now, Optimus Prime never thought he would come face to face with Megatron. The legendary villian was thought to be long ago deactivated, but on Cybertron his power and his evil are still feared. He knows that to face MEGATRON is to face his own mortality. Megatron, on the other hand, does not know who this young Autobot is, and does not care. All he knows is that The Allspark is under this fool’s protection. If he will not give it up, Megatron will tear him apart to get it.
