    I'm interested so long as the difference in director allows them to make the bots a little more humanoid, and less like metal skeletons with car parts glued on.

    Hoping for a mix of vehicles from that era (even if they don't appear in the film), TLK who got shafted in favor of Dinobot repairs, and Stinger.

    You know, the GI Joe movies are terrible, even worse than the transformers movies. BUT They do have one neat thing going for them and for us. In each Joe movie line they will pad the toy lines out with " Just off screen" vehicles and figures that are either exact rereleases of the classic molds or good modernized versions of them. If Hasbro used this BB movie as a chance to release ...say the first two years (84 and 85) autobot cars in period correct versions that COUDL be super awesome. The CW versions of the autobot cars are ok and all , I mean I would like to have them BUT I really wish they weren't all
    "generic wedge shaped Lambo-rarri supercar"...
    Give us the Fairlady Autobots, 3rd or even 4th Gen Corvettes, The Bronco/ Trailblazer, Ratchet and Iron Hide as the correct ( or close enough) model of Van... We might could even get things like a Deluxe or even Voyager sized Peterbuilt semi cab for Huffer and or Pipes that could either later be used for or even be derived from one of the better OP molds. We do know we are getting a VW Bee, which would be cool in Alt mode but lets also hope they go a more classic direction with the Bot modes and actually make a realistic interpretation of the G1 Bee face and body.

    I guess I am just optimistic and based on where I am in my collection and collecting right now it COULD be very serendipitous for Hasbro to use this film as a chance to really lean into the G1 look and nostalgia in a way the Films never have yet. we COUDL get a lot of cool toys out of it

    If the toys look ANYTHING Like the Bay formers shit I and a lot of other people will leave them on the pegs to rot like we have for4 the past many years. seriously that shit looks terrible and has been clogging up retail to some degree since it started and has actually KEPT me from getting back into Transformers since it began in 07 which incidentally I had the same hopes and dreams for the original lien back then but alas, here we are a decade later

    Maybe the Bee movie line it's actually the line that was leaked, and maybe bee is the only robot in the film.

    Only if we get a VB7 figure. Otherwise I think I'll skip this movie line.

    A BB VW would rock the movie-verse collection

    Yea, on the other hand ( from my optimistic post) we could have a situation like the marvel toy lines where Cap, Iron man and Thor are packed 10 of 12 figures in their own movie line waves AND then are packed 10 of 12 figures in the Avengers line waves resulting in mind numbing peg lock of lowest possible ( not lowest common but lowest possible) denominator in character choices ruining every line, which are at that point indistinguishable and all fail together. The last thing me need is more of the current movie line style shitting up they toy aisles

    I'd rather metal skeletons than AOE-type "what the heck do I turn into?" bodies.

    You forgot the new Prime, Optibuzz Prime, and the Bee combiner DevaBeebor.

    Edit: And they will all be a slightly orange color, instead of yellow.

    Normally I would be waiting and hoping to see what new cars or characters will be in the next movie. But in this case, I would hope for very little characters because its a bumblebee movie.

    I really wish we could get a Human Alliance VW Bee with a figure of the female lead (I forget the name).

    That true. Can't have bumblebee without the counterpart. Just depends on how many transformers there are. I mean there can't be a full toy line which could be 3 waves with only 3 to 5 characters. They should fill the gaps with old characters.

    With that leak from like a while back, HELL MOTHERFUCKING YES! :drool: 

    If the line turns out not to be the leak or it's been proven not to be, then no. Sorry. Not after with AoE and TLK.
