I saw this preorder for minifigures on entertainment Earth. Kind of surprised Bumblebee didn't make the first wave. Looks like $4-5 each.

Wow, a hole bunch of the usual suspects. Would be nice to see less focus on the same half dozen guys for merchandise.

 

These sound kind of interesting. I wonder what style these will be in. I keep picturing Robot Heroes, but I kinda hope they don't end up that stylized. I doubt these will continue to include anymore eras of Treansformers, but sets based on RID and the IDW comics would be cool.

 

Interesting. I do not see any Bumbler in the list.

 

Color me interested.  

 

Just checked the pricing, looks like the single packs should be $2.99 (US). But they're blister carded. So do we think these are Lego/Kreo minifigs or something else?

 

I wonder if the presence of Ratchet from three different series hints at a possible incoming MP presence.

 

They sound like non transforming figures so I'll probably pass.

 

A real boon for people who like optimus prime, megatron & starscream and have been somehow unable to get any toys of them until now.

 

Wonder if they will be like the hero's of cybertron.

 

Pretty cool, but why do we need the same characters from all 3 continuities? Especially Ratchet?

 

That's what I thought^^^^

 

Prime like, isn't really a notoable era. Its only recent but Prime fuckin sucked.

 

I think it would be really cool if these were Legends figures, especially if it would mean getting a legends G1 Soundwave and G1 Ratchet. I figure they'll probably be more like Robot Heroes/Heroes of Cybertron, but if they're transformable, I'll pick these up.

 

Meh.

Generation 1 and the Movie-verse are very prominent, but I think Beast Wars would've been a better third choice than Prime.

 

*golf clap*

 

No Bumblebees weird.

 

Debating if excited lol

 

yeah, after a few mini figure lines before... I'm not apt to jump to buy them unless they will match either one of those in style and scale. Really, I just wish they'd finish out the Robot Heroes they dropped the ball on. Those were looking great. Those plus a few missing G1 Autobots and I'd be happy.

 

So G1, Movie, and Prime are represented, but not other continuities.

Color me unsurprised.
