Now has anyone thought about this except me but I seriously doubt Hasbro has been
working on these just for the past year or so,as they knew about Bays 3 movie deal
back from 2005,so I think Hasbro and Bay had worked out what the 3 movies would be
like,and Hasbro knowing started designing these things back before the first movie
was even release.Plus the news yesterday about Walmarts modular was being reset
for this one.Also the news a few months ago about how Walmart was sponsoring
this movie unlike the first movie. My point is this has been worked out atleast for 2
years more than likely.

Yes... unfortunately, the robot mode looks kind of awful, but I'm just ready to applaud the sentiment!

Though, if it's Ransack, I have to say I would have rather seen an update of his old WWII Corsair mode. Now that's a gorgeous old warplane!

Toys take about a year to design from preliminary sketches to final product anyway.

The original movie figures didn't get completed until way late in the game because Hasbro didn't get all the CGI designs from ILM and company until several months before the line hit. This is why the toys in the first movie aren't particularly faithful to their on screen designs.

So no, more likely than not, these are probably a little under a year old from when they were first conceived, same goes for the other ROTF toys.

That plane does look cool....

Depthcharge does make sense and yall got a good eye to see that.

I'm loving the triumphant return of the scout class! That biplane looks so awesome.

w00t! I -totally- called the correct transformation of depthcharge's legs. score one for me! XD they look quite nifty, from these eyecancer-grade pics. finally, some sub-$10 TFs that I'll actually want to buy again! lol

My only thought is that I hope Ransack is a crop duster... i think that's the only real use of biplanes these days, and they're used to spread pesticide, so that would be a cool callback to his G1 Insecticon roots...

I already liked the boat because there aren't enough TF boats, so imagine how I feel about the biplane.

I f*ckin' LOVE IT!

So it's a double homage. I dig it more!

Great toys on the scout class ... and the price should be good. May can't come soon enough.
