    you miss my point..i am not bitching about spoilers being talked about...it is just the fact that he is throwing out that sentinel is the "bad guy" with nothing to back it up.

    there has been nothing indicated in an add or trailer that the old autobot is "evil"

    that is what i am saying...it's like let's make random shit up day and call it a SPOILER.

    He's out of scale even then. And I want a leader megs because the voyager is too small, has terrible paint apps, and my rotf leader op wants someone to rival his screen accuracy.

    Uh, it's been confirmed by multiple sources: the comic DOTM adaptation, as well as the junior novelization and junior comic...thing. Nelson pretty much backed it up with an upset post on Bay's forums saying the leaks had spilled "the biggest plot twist in the movie"

    Apparently you missed the mayhem last month when all this news broke.

    You must not be following anything. Go read the comic and novel spoilers. We know Sentinel isn't evil per say, but he's the "bad guy" of the film.

    I'm hoping for more than the usual amount for leaders. Just Megatron and Shockwave Leaders. I really want to see what they can do at a bigger scale since the Voyagers are fantastic. I just don't want to pick them up and know there is something bigger and better on the horizon.

    Ohhhh, but its been more than indicated elsewhere. Should I have wrapped a spoiler tag around that? :bay 

    True that. But now I want a leader RotF prime with his hot new DotM abs ;)

    No, but the novelization and comic adaptation show that he is. There was a big fuss about this some days ago. It is a spoiler.

    While i'd definitely like to see both Megs and Shockwave get leader-class treatment, I don't think that we're going to be that lucky.

    Megatron would need to be Supreme-priced to have any sort of convincing alt-mode given the toys size.

    Shockwave's chances of being a leader are diminished as we Megatron as Cybertronian Tank Leader toy in ROTF, and it didn't sell well. Why risk another shelfwarmer?

    Not to mention no TF toyline has had more than three leader-class toys. ROTF had Megs, Prime and Jetfire, but Starscream was part of HtfD - technically a different toyline. So unless we get another post-move toyline line HftD, then we've been given out Leader-class quota.

    Shockwave is not the villain. Sentinel is.

    Now why exactly do you think Sentinel Prime is the villain ezim?.I have yet to see any news stating that he is a decepticon,you sir are just pulling sh** out of the air and stating its true,so until you show me proof that Sentinel is a villain or decepticon I won't believe it.

    And this I don't understand. When I was a kid, I needed villains to battle my good guys. What do kids do today, since they apparently don't like to have toys of the villain characters?

    Read the tf movie discussion part of the forums and all will be revealed. And just because he wears an autobot symbol doesn't mean he can't be villainous. The right thing to do is an opinion and sentinel has a different opinion on what that means.

    Oh, guys...

    Why would you open a thread clearly labeled as MAJOR SPOILERS, when you clearly wanted to remain unspoiled (and managed to, until now). Now you're in denial and accusing people of making shit up.

    I was wondering why they made a leader Ironhide. Capitalize on his popularity before Sentinel Prime kills him off, I guess.

    But doesn't he kill Skids and Mudflap too? Why didn't they make Leaders of herp and derp as well?

    Because apparently they won't be in the movie anymore.

    Well, I guess there are more reasons to not do leader versions of them ^^
