ratchet...he looks like a half ass painted scion.

 

I'm gonna make a bold prediction and say none of these figures are going to shelfwarm tremendously. We WILL see more BB and Prime, but I think Prime toys as a whole will move off the shelves.

 

Why the heck are you guys talking about shelf warmers from toys thats not even released yet?

We're getting new toys! Can't we be positive about things for a change?

 

we get new toys every year. Why should we start being positive now?  

 

We're all Negatrons instead of Optimist Primes.

 

 

Ratchet's toy hasn't even been revealed yet! And he's an ambulance. How do you get Scion from that!?

 

I suspect Vehicons...

Seirously.

 

Well, I certainly hope that's the case.  

 

Yeah, I want Five of each varient. And Two or Three of any repaints

 

Bumblebee, most definitely.

 

All of them. Just like Animated (which can be still found on the shelves here).

 

Only reason I say vehicons, is that I do not suspect kids will be after him, so it is based upon the adults, so we will possibly be swimming in it, personally don't really like the mold, but I understand the troop build appeal. I think i'm going to get three...

 

Honestly, I'm gonna predict everything other than Arcee & Starscream because they're gonna suffer from being main characters/unique to that show that're shortpacked.


... but yeah, Zombie Cliffjumper doesn't seem like much of a walker to me.  

 

I hope, because I want a LOT of Vehicons...  

 

I think this is one time we all are in agreement that Bumblebee will be the shelfwarmer.since Hasbro insists on making him "The Spokesbot of the Hasbro Brand". While others like Arachnid and Cliffjumper will be lucky as crap to get packed 1 to a case.

 

Bumblebee, for obvious reasons.

 

It is utterly impossible that these toys will shelfwarm. I mean, they are utterly fantastic. The only thing that could lead to shelfwarmers is insane overordering of the first wave by retailers. And there is absolutely no history of the retailers being so...silly...as to....

Oh, snap.

 

yes bumblebee obviously and OP, much like the dotm toys released here.

 

Arcee because female figures have a history of not selling well.

 

My gut would say Arcee, but she's relatively shortpacked.

I'd say Bumblebee and Prime, for obvious reasons.

And again, the second and third version of CJ. Two molds, plus a remold, all with VERY similar decos? Especially if they're all going to be packed in vehicle mode.

I'm sure Vehicons will move. They're likely not going to be very heavily packed (being, you know, not Optimus or Bumblebee) and they're the only troop builder in the line. It's not like the movie troop builders, where there are about half a dozen different troop builders, thus splitting the troop building crowd.
