Following the recent news stories about Transformers merchandise leading up to the movie and its aftermath on the toy market, here's an addition coming to us from an Amazon.com listing: a Transformers Battlemasters Fight Net Battle Set, 2-Pack. The item appears to be a set of 'Rock Em Sock Em Robots' styled toys with vaguely recognisable features, on Optimus at least, while his purple opponent Megatron, is more akin to his Calvin Johson counterpart. Check out the listing here, and images below!

Product Description:
Optimus Prime and Megatron go head-to-head in this hard-punching Fight Night Battle Set! In one corner it’s Optimus Prime, aka “The Diesel Destroyer,” and he’s all ready to punch out Megatron, “The Calamity of Humanity.” Pick your figure and grab your controller for a mighty dose of Transformers mayhem! Will your Optimus Prime figure prevail, or will your Megatron figure get the knockout. There’s only one way to find out! Practice on your own or take on a friend, but either way you’ll rule the ring with the Fight Night Battle Set!

Bullet Points:

Battlemasters Fight Night Battle Set includes 2 punching Transformers figures
Controller lets you control your figure
Includes Optimus Prime and Megatron figures
Includes 2 figures and 2 controllers

I'd say it's more like Optimus Prime vs purple Bulkhead

Yea, or red and blue Gutsman vs purple Bulkhead.

Although, Megatron's torso does kinda remind me of the FOC body.

A purple Megatron? Yessss.

I can't help but think this was repurposed from an unrelated fighting robot toy. Like it started out being a semi-original thing, but Hasbro decided "hey we already have a robit franchise, let's make this that too" late in the game.

I don't see this ever expanding past the one set, but I'd like to see other bots' goofy nicknames.
