    Not all of them.

    Wreckage and the first Real Gears were all new molds in the first movie line, and they came out before the film's release.

    And RotF Breakaway, Knock Out, Rollbar, Dead End/Detour, Depthcharge, Dirt Boss, Ransack, and Springer all hit stores before that movie was out.

    Keep trying. :)

    Breakaway, Depthcharge, Ransack and Springer were all potential characters in the film and had concept art created.

    Fewer apostrophes.

    Look, no need to become upset. I'm simply stating that new mold toys are not proof that the characters they represent will appear in the movie.

    Personally, I'd love it if both Barricade and Jolt were there. I dug the 'Cade in the first movie, and want to see more craziness with Dr. Joltenstein. But Nelson from SFTE specifically denied Jolt, and none of the reports from filming mentioned the Barricade vehicle. Signs point to "no".

    That wasn't the point I was addressing. It was:

    ^ Don't knock yourself, it's nearly impossible to do that. Whenever I'm trying to soften one of my comments I always use a smiley.

    A lot of people don't understand what a strange medium this is for humans. It is absolutely prone to miscommunication and misinterpretation. There are absolutely no nonverbal cues.

    Right, this thread has an actual topic...uh, go MechTech?

    I've gotta say, I was able to see one of the Deluxe Dreads in person and it looked a lot better than any pics I ever saw of it. Might have to temper some of my utter disgust and indifference with the DOTM line as a result.

    Don't know why they have the wings swept up in the official images, but the Toyfare version of Optimus looks SO MUCH BETTER, with the wings swept down.

    He is GLORIOUS!!! This guy is already bought. I DO wish they could have gotten the cannons in a tad better, though...

    Here is my question: we have already seen that the DOTM line is doing a lot of things different, and someone who talked to one of the Hasbro execs said that it was not about production limits... who is to say that they are not increasing the number of Leaders? I'm sure Prime and Megs will get their Leader Classes in the second wave.

    I kinda want a case of those human alliance drones that kinda look like Scrapmetal from Cybertron.

    Repaints and troop building!

    Also I'm really digging Sentinal Prime.

    I think Hasbro missed the point as to why Human Alliance sold so well

    Hint: it had nothing to do with the humans

    Last I heard it didn't sell as well as expected because the cases were crammed full with Bumblebees, leaving the new figures hard to find, and that's why they're introducing the smaller figures, to save the line? That's what I read on here anyways.

    This is exactly my problem with it. I liked the HA line because it had realistic almost-scaled vehicles and nicely complex transformations. So, I got the entire line aside from the Bumblebee variant (even black Sideswipe that wasnt released in the UK).

    They have totally missed the point with HA with the new waves. The Basic vehicles dont have the realism or complexity, and the standard figures are just straight repaints of the earlier figures, in black, with the windows painted in! Seriously, why paint in the windows like that? That, and the fact that they seem to be taking a PCC approach - repaint the main figure (lets go for black this time!) and repackage it with a repaint of a companion figure from a different figure.

    Its a real shame, as it was one of the few lines that I wanted to go completist with, but I cant really find a single reason to pick up any HA figures. I honestly dont even know why the standard figure repaints are included. If Hasbro are looking for more 'child friendly' figures (and this is working for me, as I am not interested and not their target customer), who are they aiming the standard repainted HA figures at? Its a little cynical.

    Of course, I now fully expect the announcement that the two that we have seen - Bumblebee and Skids - are the only two to be produced and that there will not be a Mudflap! Go on, Hasbro, I dare you. :D

    I like how some of the HA Basics can be held by other MechTech figures as guns. I especially love how Shockwave looks while holding the HA Helicopter as a gun (as seen in Peaugh's review of the HA Helicopter). I would love to get them both and paint the HA Helicopter in a metallic purple and silver. It would blend well with Shockwave and look great! :)

    You're acting like Bumblebee and Skids will be the only large HA figures or that all of them will be kid-friendly repaints. Relax, chances are that these will be the only repaints until the last wave. We already know that we're getting a Wrecker and Soundwave after all, and with all the other sweet rides in the movie, you can bet that we'll see plenty more. Hell, I doubt that Hasbro will pass up the chance to make a HA Ferrari, or a Mercedes-Bentz! :lol 

    Besides, the Basics are more a replacement for the Scouts then for larger HA figures. :)

    But we get nifty new alt modes with the snowmobile and Can-Am Spyder! I'm pretty excited for those two, at least.

    This is true. I had forgotten about the listed Soundwave and Wrecker.... I really hope that the windows are not painted for these, though.
