    Either Blackout or a leader Shockwave from the game would be pretty much an instant buy just to get a helicopter tf _that_ big.

    Hasbro definitely needs to give blackout the lc treatment, while the vc toy is good a leader class would be so much better. I dont understand why we got a leader brawl he was only in the film for at least ten minutes blackout had more screen time then that.

    I reckon Hasbro should have made a Voyager Shockwave instead of the new guy 'Incinerator' coming out in the Allspark Power line (although I love Incinerator).

    Characters that were put in the game or movie should all have a figure produced before the exclusive characters that did not appear in either the game or movie.

    I think pretty much the entire principle cast of the film should get Leader class treatment.

    I mean, can you imagine how cool a Leader class 08 Bumblebee would be? Or Jazz?

    Blackout would be the tip of the iceberg as far as I'm concerned!

    AllSpark Power/Battles/Whatever is about vehicles who may have appeared in the movie that might have been brought to life by the AllSpark, or so Hasbro explains. Incinerator is like the Osprey Lennox's Rangers travel on at the start of the movie, Stockade is one of the black Sector Seven SUVs and Landmine is one of the Sector Seven buggies.

    Frankly, people only care about the video game Shockwave because it's Shockwave and he's a fanwank.

    Wow, myth re-enabled. Stockade is not one of the Sector Seven SUVs (they were big-ass GMCs). Stockade is the (big-ass) Escalade that had it's steering wheel eat that girl's face. I know because I remember seeing the pictures and getting all kinds of excited about dad's truck getting the Transformers treatment.

    I wonder why Longarm wasn't a part of that line.

    Stupid question: will the toy be licensed? Or, like Swindle (and others), will it "resemble" a GM car (in Swindle's case, a Chevrolet Cobalt/Pontiac G5) but not be licensed?

    It had a Cadillac emblem on it, so my guess would be licensed. Probably lumped in with the entire movie line licensing.

    Actualy, it doesn't. If you look closely at it, it has a Decepticon symbol where the Cadilac emblem would be, so I'm thinking that it's one that resembles a Cadilac, but isn't licensed to look like one.

    I think the vehicles for the movie line are awesome, mostly how the movie figures have a mix of liscensed vehicles as well as unliscensed vehicles that are based on real vehicles.

    I say we get all new leader class toys without so much freakin kibble and legs/feet that actually work well, Op's are ok, but Megs feet suck it. As for Blackout, isn't he already a deluxe thats labeled as a voyager? I mean come on, he's the tiniest voyager of them all, and in the desert attack pack, Scorponok is almost the same size. So yeah a Leader class would be great for him.

    Even though it's hoping against hope, here's to a Leader Class Blackout and Voyager Bonecrusher in the near future.

    If that's true, I want royalties. I cooked up the idea of the Decepticon emblem inside the Caddy "wings" on the emblem last Christmas when I got my Caddy.

    Because he is one of the drones from the game, like Dropkick, Payload, Swindle, and Dreadwing.

    Anyways, a nice big Blackout would be nice....but I'd much rather see an upscaled Bonecrusher or Barricade first. Bonecrusher because the deluxe doesn't do him justice..espescially considering how big the Buffalo is. As for Barricade, he's just so damn badass and would like very nice as a Voyager or Leader.

    If they did it right and gave him a ginormous alt mode I would absolutely buy it. Even if they didn't I would probably still buy it. I said to myself months ago that I wouldn't buy Leader Brawl, but I don't have a deluxe of him and saw pics and in stores so many times that he really grew on me. If they could improve any of the movie tfs size wise, we'd need leader starscream/blackout and voyager bonecrusher
