-Ratchet
-Lockdown
-Brawn

BOUGHT.

Ratchet with a weapon? Kewl.
A weapon to be shared with Lockdown? Even more so.
Brawn? Weee!

-Ironhide
-Bludgeon

BOUGHT.

Especially Ironhide. I plan on Frankensteining the original TF07 figure with bits and pieces from this guy and do my best to make a Masterpiece Ironhide.

Bludgeon is just terrific. A great design.

-HA Frenzy
-HA Mudflap

BOUGHT.

Barricade might just be the best figure of the line. And that's saying something.

I love that we're getting Simmons. Though I find it odd that they paired him with Mudflap when most of his scenes were with Skids.

Still nothing on Lennox and Ironhide.  

I'm loving what I hear here. I won't be getting Waspinator since the head isn't remolded. I give 'em credit for the bio thing, however. That's pretty smooth, especially on a tight budget.

Hydrodive Bumblebee is adorable.
Blackout is just badass.
Wingblade Optimus...steals the friggin' show. He is incredible. Wait. The new parts will fit on the original Voyager? FUCK YES.

Devastator repaint, bad idea. Oh wait, wait... Devastator + Repaint = Bad Combo. They've no guarantee the current version will sell, and considering the price tag, not likely. At least not enough to receive a repaint.

Good thing I didn't bank on Buster Prime. Maybe we aren't receiving Premiums this time around...

Whether or not Archer's in the loop, there's going to be a 3rd film. It was said on the boards here that Bay signed on for 5, he wants to do it in 2012, Paramount wants 2011, etc. Not to mention the current film's box office take.

As for a Blaster/Cassettes reissue, I'm sure it's a mix of licensing and safety requirements.

 

If there are no better pics by tonight, and I'm not totally drunk/wasted, I'll see what I can do about getting panel pics out of my camera, and up somewhere for viewing. Can't promise they're actually any good, though some seem decent on my crappy camera viewer (and I don't have Photoshop on this tiny laptop).

Yes, I went back and re-edited my post; I was GUESSING that was a Buster Prime question, but it's fucking Takara, so it could've been damn near anything. My apologies for guessing and possibly confusing people; you should assume there's NO news about it until someone else reports in. I wish they'd had a damn audience mic.

Hitting the floor for real now. Already noticed a scalper booth with $30 ice cream twins and $100 Leader Jetfire. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU--

-XCN-

 

And another

 

I so hope to get a G1 repaint of the deluxe Ratchet

 

And Another

 

And Another

 

Looks like he has a giant handcuff on the end of one arm - at least in that pic.

 

Like you, i am normally not a Debbie Downer but I am not feeling any of these. I'll probably get a couple Animated (Rodimus and Arcee) but I am done with the movie line. But on the plus side at least I'll either save some money or work on building my G1/Encore/reissue collection.

I would've liked a Scout class Wheelie rather than legends or deluxe

Wish we would've gotten some Classics or Leader Starscream news.

Only gem I found was the possiblity for a reissue Blaster.

 

It looks like Bludgeon merely needs new feet to fit in with Universe, sweet. As for better pics, Tony said he'd upload bigger better photos, so just be patient guys.

 

Movie Lockdown is so mine.

 

Hasbro really seems to have an affinity for Deadend, (Wildrider  ); or what every they want to call him these days. How many forms are they going to give him. Just in the ROTF line alone they so far have him as a Pontiac Solstice like Jazz in the Titanium 2-pack with Cliffjumper not to mention the Scout class and Deluxe class versions. Don't get me wrong though, I think they are all great, it's just that I don't get why they just seem to keep rehashing the same character with different forms in the same line?

On another note though, Bludgeon and MP Skywarp are my must haves for sure!!!
