    1. Bumblebee
    2. Optimus Prime
    3. Barricade (code name: Destroyer)
    4. Unknown
    5. Unknown
    Energon Igniters - Power Series ($9.99)
    1. Hot Rod

    3. Megatron (code name: Fox)
    4. Optimus Prime (code name "Radar")
    5. "Blue Light" (a code name)
    6. "Hornet 2" (a code name)
    7. "Red Light 1" (a code name)

    Well we know there are four Cybertronians in the movie. We know of Bumblebee(and Bumblejeep), Barricade, and Starscream. The only vehicle we have unaccounted for is the red Chrysler, and now we have Hot Rod toys? But the red Chrysler is a Decepticon right?

    That's a Decepticon. Movie toys usually have characters which are not featured on movies (remember how many there were for ROTF?). Also, some characters that are in the movies never get a toy (Onslaught, Mohawk).

    Dude I was 11 when ROTF came out. That line was my childhood. :lol 

    I mean, I figured we would get a few extra characters then would appear in the film, Optimus was bound to happen, Hot Rod just seems like an add choice unless Hasbro really just wants to push him again like they have been doing latetly.

    Also, of course I’m aware not every character gets figures but you would think in a movie with four of them from what we know, all of them would recieve truckloads of toys like how the main cast of RID got an endless onslaught of figures. Plus, Warden stated with the SS line that they wanted to do some characters that had never gotten figures figure. Even if some of those ideas get dropped when the line gets rebranded for Bumblebee, you would think that mindset would remain.

    Also I have to ask. You said the Destroyer codename is Barricade right. Wasn’t there a voyager SS figure under that same codename?

    That Voyager listing later turned out to be Energon Igniters Barricade.

    But you are right, Hot Rod is oddly appearing on multiple listings. BUT, there are only 4 Studio Series figures for Bumblebee movie. Bumblebee is one of them and the other code names being Blue Light, Mercenary and KSI Sentry.

    SDCC and the reveals can’t get here fast enough. :lol  I am tired of all the codenames and speculation. I’m going to buy it, just tell me what it is Hasbro.
