Transformers: Prime (Трансформеры Прайм) is a Russian-language Transformers: Prime magazine published by Eaglemoss/GE Fabbri. Launched on August 24, 2012, the first four issues were published fortnightly, and thereafter it was published weekly. The magazine was originally intended to run for 52 issues, but has continued on. Like the Titan comic, the 16-page issues include puzzles and games, as well as a comic strip composed of stories set loosely within the Transformers: Prime cartoon continuity.

Each issue of the magazine comes with a pack of cards as part of a collectable card game not dissimilar to Top Trumps. The cards feature characters and items from the show, with the attributes being strength, speed, agility, intelligence and firepower. Cards come with varying levels of rarity, including glow-in-the-dark and iridescent types. The second issue also came with a tin box for keeping the cards in.
