A whole lot of new auctions for upcoming Dark of the Moon toys have appeared on Yahoo Japan auctions courtesy of user nihaohuwen. Leading the way is the other Dark of the moon Leader Class toy, the firetruck thought to be Sentinel Prime! He is joined by the as yet unnamed second Wrecker and the military helicopter. On the known characters front, there are new images of Sideswipe, Barricade, Deluxe Class Ratchet and Bumblebee.
Check out all the new images by clicking on the links above.

The cars could do with a bit of paint it looks like the Green car has more weaponised mode parts for the car than I first thought as they are sitting there on his chest.
The Blue One seems a bit different to the scout less Egyptian looking
I quite like the Helicopter (mainly because of the robot mode) so long as the arms transform better than they are shown there. would be nice if the harness moves at the hub so it fits better on his chest too.
Overall he's not a bad looking toy though… all 3 of them are better than most of what we've seen in general.

I'll get that Lowes wrecker for my brother-in-law next Christmas.

Not sure if I want the Blue Wrecker, it has a nice Nascar mode but I am not feeling the bot mode at all. Same goes for the Green Wrecker too.

The green Wrecker's head is looking pretty good.
Fort Max
Helicopter looks much better, blue wrecker actually looks kinda dull in bot mode. Greenie looks great.
Roll on toyfair for better looks at all these.

Nice, Blue Wreckerman and Copter-Guyson look pretty cool. Definite proof that Copterman's an Autobot.
Toxicon
Blue Wrecker looks great, can't wait to see more of him. The helicopter has a neat transformation.

Yes, I'm well aware that. I was addressing these parts of Wadeledge's post:

You're missing the point. Movie characters and toys are two separate things. You can name a movie character whatever you want. The 1990 movie "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane" had a character named Jazz. Yet there was no conflict with the Action Master Jazz toy on the shelves at the time. If Ford Fairlane made a toy line, THEN there would have been a conflict and the Ford Fairlane "Jazz" action figure would have been changed to something like "Detective Jamms".
Again, there would be no conflict in calling a movie character "Hot Rod" as long as the toy was named "Rodimus". It's a basic first amendment thing. You simply can't make a rule about what you can and can't name a fictional character.
In fact… Hot Rod (2007) – IMDb

I"ve been asking people that for months. Yet to hear a good answer.

someone should be the hero to end the fire truck mystery and purchase it and show us the face

Not in this case.
The "Autobot XXX" or "Turbo YYY" trick works for words considered too generic to TM on their own, like "Jazz", "Tracks", "Hound", etc. It would likely work in this case, except Mattel has a live toy TM for "Hott Rodd". "Hot Rod" of any sort would be too close, even with a prefix. They couldn't use "Autobot Hot Rod" any more than "Autobot Batman". (Or even "Autobot Battmann".) That's why it's been "Rodimus" since they started using the character design again in Energon.
And no, I still can't explain "Decepticon Banzaitron".
In closing, did Redd Foxx drive a Hott Rodd?

Yep, Light Rescue is the term. We used to have them here, but, We went all Squad Companies instead, and phased out the Light Rescues, since Squad's basically carried all the equiptment that a Light Rescue carried anyway. Also, with all the brush fires in Kansas, its easier for a Squad to get into the fields, than an Engine. So thats why we went all Squad, because Squads, carry 300 gallons of water and a 200 gallon per minute pump. So all we have left on the Rescue "nameplate" is the Heavy Rescues we have one City, and one County.
*Also Powercore Combiner Smolder is considered a Light Rescue, and PCC Stakeout would be a Light Rescue – Radio Emergency Patrol for NYPD ESU.

I see Ratchet as a Rough Terrain rescue vehicle (bit like a Mountain Rescue 4X4) this is sort of implied by his door logo in the 1st 2 movies. He's a bit like a Fire department paramedic van too.
