Written by Big Bot on January 30, 2008 | Animated,Hasbro,News,Toys,Transformers movie (2007) |

Transformers movie Leader class Deep Desert Brawl, a repaint of the original Decepticon Brawl (known as Devastator in the movie), has been found in store in the USA. The more interesting news is that the catalogue that comes with the toy has an advert for Transformers: Animated toys. The release date mentioned is June 2008.

The UK release date for Animated toys is rumoured to be April 2008, but if these dates turn out to be true, it will mark one of the first times (ever?) that the UK has started selling a main Transformers toyline before the USA.
