    Egads, could his name be anymore of a transparent marketing ploy? I guess how much it ultimately bothers me depends on how they treat his character on screen (i.e. does he do something cool enough with those electro-whips to make me not care).

    Bot mode, on the other hand, looks like it could be pretty awesome. The electro-whips are a neat idea and the two wheels combining into the upper thigh is visually pretty cool if a bit of a design nightmare for the engineers. I guess that's what they're paid to do though, right? ;)

    I think the lack of elbow joints kills a lot of F.A.B's value. Who's gonna pay 10 bucks for a transformer that can't even bend it's elbows?

    Oh, you mean a team of Autobots named Ironhide, Ratchet, Jazz and Bumblebee lead by Optimus Prime, who turns into a big-rig?

    That's weird, we already had a movie jolt, who was a decepticon.
    why would they want to use the same name twice in the same continuity?

    Decepticon Brawl...

    And it worked too, even hasbro didn't know they were spreading false info!


    <.<

    He kinda reminds me of Kup. Don't know why. Maybe this guy is the geriatric bot?

    I loled. Still, I'm hoping these characters aren't as generic as Devastator/Brawl to the point they're only referred to by name once. It does seem that with the exception of Arcee, all the new Autobots are new characters named after avaliable Hasbro trademarks, whereas last time all five 'bots were based on G1 characters (Bay choosing to deviate from alternate modes and voice styles does not count).

    Um? As far as we know the Beat is named Skids, and the Corvette is Sideswipe. You already mentioned Arcee, so that leaves Jolt and whoever the Trax is. Yeah, big departure from G1 names.

    I said characters, not names. Skids and Sideswipe will probably have nothing to do with their G1 namesakes, whereas way Orci and Kurtzman intentionally tried to capture the roles of G1 Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, Ironhide, Ratchet, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave (though his name was left out) etc. for the first film.

    That was Frenzy, not Soundwave.

    Yes, I noted Orci and Kurtzman changed Soundwave into Blackout and Frenzy because their experimentation with him veered far too off course.

    Actually, Jolt was a pink laser rod car before he was a helicopter.
