KRE-O GI-JOE is SUCH a no brainer. Do it!

Kre-O-JO? C'mon!

Want a Snake-Eyes Kreon, and some day, an Old Snake Kreon.

I wonder if Hasbro really believes Battleship will be as big as Transformers for them?

That movie has box office flop and Rassie awards written all over it. I've been wrong before though (at least about box office). We'll see...


No mention at all of the trilogy line, just the comment that almost all Tformers would be Prime stuff.

The Battle Ship stuff sounds good, though I'm slightly disappointed that it doesn't sound like they'll be doing any action figures. I'd love to see the alien design made as a 6" action figure. Would probably display nicely with my Halo figures.

Nothing too surprising from the Transformers blurb. Kre-O sounds like it'll be good. The "quest for energon" theme sounds interesting. There is one line that I find kind of interesting:

most of the TRANSFORMERS action figure expressions will adopt the TRANSFORMERS PRIME styling to complement the award winning series
Is it me, or does it sound like retailers have finally lost interest in stocking anymore movie refuse?

Good for my wallet, but a sad sad day for toys.

Sounds more like Hasbro basically saying: Hey, this is the new visual style for the franchise now. Get use to it.

At least when it comes to the main line. We're obviously still going to get some Generations and a few left over movie toys.

So, did they completely nix the 'Movie Trilogy' line?
