Another Bumble Bee!?!?!?! Really!?!?! Battle blades Bumble is still the best...repaint and spoilers to that if you have to have a DOTM BB, Hasbro. Movie Soundwave...seen it already, I want HA version. Movie ratchet...see comment on bumble bee Original DOTM Wheeljack still looks better to me but it's cool that Hasbro made this G1 inspired WJ. Optimus Prime...No comment Cliff Jumper doesn't have a mechtech weapon does he????? Please say it ain't so Prime Soundwave...and he comes with laserbeak!!!! Yeah I am so getting this one, great alt mode great bot design. FOC pics...I don't play video games (no time) but I am glad there is still a lot of amazing energy to keep the line going well after the movies. Still does not change the fact that I will miss Bay and the films.
I believe that panel is supposed to be a show-only panel, although there is apparently another Hasbro panel later tomorrow, and there is a small chance that we could get more toy reveals then. At the very least, I want official pictures of the Leadfoot/Twin Twist set and a release date for it, even if we don't get reveals of any truly new toys.
Even if they don't reveal actual toys a list of future characters would give us a pretty good idea of who to expect.
Just looking through the pictures and I'm wondering. Are we getting Voyager Prime with a trailer? Because the image is the Deluxe Prime with trailer that is coming with the Classics Prime in a set.
I refuse to believe that a DotM Mirage/Dino toy exists, ever has existed, or ever will exist. If they actually wanted to make one, they would have by now. And to anyone who says he'll be in the follow-up line, I say it will be a miracle if even the full DotM line makes it to retail. Waves 2-4 are shelfwarming worse than anything I've seen since becoming a fan back in '07. The retailers made the same damn mistake they've done with every movie line, and it's blocking anything new from reaching the shelves before the next line begins.
Oh great, another Bumblebee to add to the 446,653,891,143,433,333,652,291,887,767,108,453 versions of the fucking character we've gotten in the past 3 lines. Still no sign of a deluxe Mirage, Leader Megatron, or any other character in the movie that didn't get a proper toy of themselves. Fuck it, I don't even care anymore. Bring on the TF: Prime toys now.
He's getting two molds, one with his guns from the show, and one with a show accurate look and Hammer weapon
Ok, just want to say, I have no beef with the amount of stuff shown off at the con. Lots of reveals, lots of info. Now, as far as WHAT us actually being released, I have to say Hasbro is trolling us pretty damn hard. First off, Mirage. It's fair to say that he was one of the main Autobot cast for DotM: he wasn't 1/3 of a character, he got a couple memorable lines, he even got to live through the movie. Apparently Hasbro can sell us ON a toy, but not actually sell us that toy. I mock them appropriately for their failure. The movie is out on DVD already. Meanwhile, Cliffjumper, a character memorable for dying less than halfway through his first episode, somehow has two molds and a redeco? As a matter of fact, so does Jolt! Don't shrug your shoulders people, this is a legitimately hilarious mismatch of toys and media. Hasbro's marketing department, consider yourself taunted! Now, OP with trailer. I was excited for this till I saw it was the lame one. Nothing against the Deluxe mold, but the larger version has a vastly nicer trailer and doesn't look ridiculous next to Deluxe cars. So Japan still has the movie-accurate remold of Voyager OP, his really nice MechTech, and a trailer not designed to hold happy meal toys as exclusive. Woo. Then we get a "movie trilogy" line consisting entirely of...non movie-accurate redecos.
Two things. 1. Trademarking with Ferrari ain't easy but they should have thought about that before choosing to make Dino a Ferrari. 2. It's still early...they might have more commign on the way. They don't wanna reveal to much.
Yeah, I'm still disappointed that they didn't show Mirage, but Hasbro knows what they're doing, they can cut corners
it's not about what the car company wants to do, it's about what they can do with there current licensing agreements. Showing a car in a movie and selling merchandise of said car are different things. yeah it would make sense, but if someone already had a agreement to make car toys, then they either have to work out a new deal including the other license holder(which woud take time) or they drop it and make something like it, like the Audi. it's never seems to be so cut and dry with licensing agreements (unless you have a agreement that only you can make the toys. and that could be the case, it's just Hasbro is on the wrong side of things this time) Randy!
