I'm very interested to see which new names will be repaints and which new name will be new molds hmmmm….
Cyber-Kun
Pretty sure Fallen is going to be a repaint, except for the Target Exclusive, there hasn't been one yet.
Mechabreaker
I would also like a new mold for Banzai-Tron as well, but it most likely will be a Bludgeon repaint, which I wouldn't mind because the Bludgeon mold is one of my favorite new voyager molds from the ROTF toy line, and if it's a repaint of ROTF Bludgeon, then I hope they have the common sense to at least make a head that somewhat resembles Banzai-Tron's G1 self.
megatronski
I hope banzaitron is a new mold and not a bludgeon repaint.
Mechabreaker
I wouldn't mind a Movie Lugnut being a repaint/retool of Movie Stratosphere. You're right on how cool it would be for a completely new mold, but I liked the Stratosphere mold enough, despite the huge clogs that he has for feet, he still is a fun figure, especially with the action feature in his vehicle mode.
While I wouldn't mind that a repaint/retool of Stratosphere, I would much prefer a new mold, but like you also said, only time will tell, so for now, we have to wait.
OptimusPrimeFour
Too all those who think that Movie Lugnut will be a new mold don't get to excited. The Stratosphere mold looks to much like a Lugnut design that makes you wonder if Hasbro already planned a later Lugnut repaint prior to Stratospheres release. I bet money that I'm 99% sure that Lugnut will be a Stratosphere repaint with maybe a new 1 eyed head. I don't want to disappoint anyone and I hope I'm wrong because it would be cool as shit to have a Movie verse Lugnut(new mold) but I guess we have to play the waiting game.
Mechabreaker
I am really intrigued, I really liked movie Lockdown, seeing Lugnut's name on this list really makes me curious to see what a movie version of Animated Lugnut will look like.
RedAlert Rescue
I wanted to post a proper reply to this thread but didn't have the time until today.
i) No idea about Strafe – could it be a repaint of an existing aircraft like Windwipe. Hopefully 'Strafe' implies a jet fighter or space craft though.
ii) I find it interesting that Hasbro introduce a new Voyager Optimus a few months before the 3rd live action movie comes out and that may include a likelyhood of another new Optimus….
Unless they plan to make the next Optimus a different size perhaps Deluxe,Ultra & a Super/Supreme toy (a bit like Ultimate Bumblebee) and miss out the Voyager as a new toy – or just use the imminent one.
I have a theory that Optimus will be tweaked (possibly in terms of his weapons) for the 3rd movie – maybe vehicle mode guns for example.
iii) Banzai-Tron. A repaint of Bludgeon seems most likely unless they decide to get really bizarre and repaint Seaspray in him.
iv) Twin Boom Fighters ; Slugslinger perhaps – or if we are lucky a retro prop plane. but since it's Hasbro it could be something with Twin Boom! and it's just a vehicle with 2 guns.
v) The Fallen – I suppose the repaint will be horrible – but I wonder what he'd look like in grayish metallic or even in negative colors like white.
It might be fun if he had a sort of Noisemaze Prototype look to him in light grey…. I don't expect to like the color since it's Hasbro and they have no taste a lot of the time when it comes to repaints.
Crimson might work too.
Vi) Lugnut. – Stratosphere repaint perhaps ? or even Hasbro trying their luck at repainting an Animated toy labeled into the movie line.
It's unlikely but barely possible it could be a Walmart store exclusive animated toy repaint I suppose.
Vii) Grappel (Grapple?) a remold of Universe Inferno perhaps ? or If Hasbro are in bizzaro mode, it could be an Orange Cybertron Mudflap repaint.
viii) Oil Pan ; 'Shrugs'… a repaint of that new chopper bike perhaps.
iX) Breacher, Firetrap, Sunspot…. nothing obvious comes to mind – unless one of those is the name for a Generation game's generic bot.
x)Tomahawk ; I suppose it's to much to hope that it's based on a Gi Joe Tomahawk helicopter.
xi) Jolt repaint ; White or silver or pale blue might be nice – I hope they fix the chest area for the repaint.
xii)Tuner Skids – I hope he's medium-dark blue with green interlimb coloring.

Some really good potential in there, but I can't help feeling disappointed that we're getting all these new molds- several of which are movie figures revisited- and yet they can't be bothered to give us a Scrapper (or Scrapmetal- designs were so similar that either would work for me) figure.
Banzai-tron and Axor are probably going to be must buys for me, even if they are repaints.
Dinobot Nuva
Pessimistic thread is pessimistic. Last time this happened, the majority of new items in the system turned out to be new molds.
Grapple35
Please let Voyager Grapple be an Inferno repaint so we'll have a Universe Grapple.
DecepticonsRule
I'm not including the stuff we saw at Toyfair. I'm talking about the new characters we didn't know about before this list was released.
NCStarscream
Although this goes against my natural tendency to be pessimistic when it comes to Hasbro's release schedule, I agree.
TedimusPrime
I am actually fairly confident that just like all the digibashes we've seen, banzitron will be bludgeon.
Like it better though if it was a new mold
Only thing I gotta say though is there are no animated listings. This makes me sad. Seems we've seen the end of the animated line. Does this mean no blackout or rodimus minor? No prime with wings?
BScorpinok75
Hmmm. With the possibility of Axer being a repaint of the ROTF Lockdown my interest in that mold has suddenly returned.
Gryph
Huh? A bunch of the stuff listed are new molds that we saw at Toyfair. This also doesn't even include Generations and whatever we get for Prime, which will probably hit by the end of the year.
DecepticonsRule
I'm not going to get my hopes up for this line, honestly. If this is all we're getting throughout 2010, I will honestly be disappointed. I'm sensing that a lot of these characters are going to be repaints, with very little remolds or even new molds at all.
However, I'm holding onto the SLIGHTEST bit of hope that "Grapple" could be Hightower.
Gryph
That's the head I was pointing out. It's the same one that's on the Lockdown instructions.
Paxtin
Nah, I don't think so. Far too Decepticon'y looking.
