    I think prime should come with the Cullen Holo Rig Driver. They did the nod in the Alliance comic, i think we should get our own mini cullen's!

    It could work as a voyager at the very least. Just look at the old G.I.Joe Sigma 6 vehicles, they had small but very articulated drivers with the same (sometimes more) articulation as that Sam figure.

    The Voyager-class Prime mold DOES have a mini-Cullen driving it.

    Bumblebee definitely isn't a Deluxe, IMO. If he was, I couldn't imagine the Sam Witwicky figure being much bigger than the mini-pilot figures that came with the (Deluxe-size) Star Wars TFs...and Sam looks a lot bigger in this picture. Anyway...

    - Voyager Ironhide - Definite pass. It's a good mold, but I prefer the cannons on the original release and there don't appear to be any other changes that would justify buying this.

    - Human Alliance Set - Probably will pass on this. I already have Movie Bumblebee figures that I'm happy with and could likely find a Mutt Williams figure without too much problem, if I really wanted a Sam Witwicky. Though it is interesting that the package says "Human allies ride inside (additional figures sold separately)". Maybe some other "human allies" will be released separately at some point?

    Not sure if I would want a Voyager sized Bumblebee, but it is gonna be hard to argue with it if the mini figure has decent details and the interior looks decent. The pics are kinda blurry (big surprise there, lol), but I think this idea could be fairly awesome.

    Ironhide though is kinda disappointing. You're not really a robot in disguise when you're a pick-up truck with a big f*&$ing cannon in the bed. That might grab my attention if I saw it cruising down the highway. Plus, with three movie one Ironhide figures out in Voyager, the least they could have done to sell me on it would have been to give him a G1 paint scheme. Maybe they'll do a Human Ally figure for him. Then, maybe.

    The more I look at Bumblebee, the more I'm not so sure I actually want him anymore. I'll have to see some more pictures of him to make a final judgment. Though there's still a good chance I'll get him. Something about most of his bot-mode looks really good to me. I really like the battle mask gimmick. He won't be replacing my Premium BB, but I can see him making it into my collection somehow. Prime and Bumblebee are two characters I have the most of in my collection (Prime- 6, BB- 5, atm). Ironhide may not be a big difference, but he looks good enough to me. I'll be keeping the one I have as Ironhide, and renaming this one Trailbreaker.

    Looking at the Bumblebee a little longer, I'm starting to see it as being a little... puffy. Kinda like a FAB. (at least in alt mode) Not that that is a bad thing mind you, G1 Bumblebee's proportions were a little puffy or Super Deformed too.

    I love the idea, regardless and would like to see more of both the human figures and the scaled bots to go with them. Maybe a Sideswipe or a Prime. (if he's at least a size class larger than BB.)

    This toy is just trying to mimic a binaltech but doesn't really succeed in any way. I really don't like it.

    I like the idea, but not the way they did it.

    Actually, it clearly isn't. You can see the NEST logo here. The logo on the side of Ironhide is clearly something else.

    Personally I don't think it will, but it's just too hard to tell what will be in the first wave, and what will be a part of later waves. At least we know that we'll be getting two preview figures (retooled Deluxe Bumblebee, and Deluxe Cybertronian Soundwave).

    well those preview figures will come out BEFORE May 29th just like the preview figs for the first movie.


    I will pass on the Ironhide and I MIGHT get that Bumblebee, it really depends because I need to save money on the other sweet figs and such.

    Not sure since we don't have any official list yet of what figures will be released on that date and which figures are slated for a later release. Really just Hasbro's way of watching their rear in case something were to happen to prevent a figure from hitting their projected release date.

    Huh, didn't know there were two different logos. I also didn't know that NEST used any of the dune buggy's. Makes sense, as it would be easy to reuse the one's from the first movie, instead of having all of the NEST vehicles be all new ones. Wouldn't surprise me if we got a NEST repaint of Landmine now.
