Ahhhh I had forgotten about the Animated ones coming out.

Ironhide and Blackout interest me, especially the latter. A shame Wasp is a redeco though. Would've been nice to see a Cybertronian Wasp instead of the car.

Brawn looks pretty nifty. I'll wait to see reviews on him though, and the other RotF deluxes. I got a lot, but I'm favoring saving my money now and aim for the complicated transformers.

 

Wingblade Prime is awesome! A normal battle pack Prime too! Blackout is a huge dissapoitment. Augh, too many movie figures I want now
YESSSS!!!!! Legend movie Arcee!!!

 

It's called an opinion!

 

Wingblade Optimus Prime and Blackout: WANT.

 

Are there pics of these anywhere yet? I cant believe I missed this whole thing! I've been dying to see HA Barricade and I really want to see him! *tears*

 

LIVE at Transformers Panel Comic Con 2009 - Transformers News and click the play button pics are all located there

 

can't believe someone asked about Omega Supreme. I thought I was bitter about that one not getting made, but I've come to accept things.

 

They reaalllyyyy want to draw out how the third bike looks.

However, Happy to hear they "have plans" rather than say "its a redeco!"

 

Blackout and Wingblade Prime look pretty neat.

Movie Ratchet looks decent and.......movie Brawn? YES.

Jungle Attack Ironhide looks tons better than I expected.

 

Quick write-up:

2009 in display; 2010 stuff @panel.

Legends Wheelie, Soundwave (2-changer; satellite + robot), Arcee (looks like mystery cycle mold), Jolt.

Scout Brakedown, Skystalker (plane, 2-axes), Scattorshot (similar to Cybertron version)

Deluxe Ratchet (with gun), Lockdown (movie redesign of Animated; hook weapon; engine block is 2nd weapon -- FITS ON DELUXE RATCHET), Dirge, Brawn.

Voyager Jungle Attack Ironhide (crossbow, gun w/bayonet; looks like slight remold on bumper, otherwise same mold), Bludgeon (green tank; orange robot mode/armor; samurai design ie G1),

Mindwipe (stealth jet; 1st intro @ SDCC; stow-away daggers (into arms), "he's like the hack/slash serial killer"; Scout "drone jet" (Skystalker?) plugs into him)

Human Alliance Barricade w/Frenzy (Frenzy is the driver); Mudflap + cycle (Chromia?) w/Simmons

6" Titanium Op Prime, Thrust, Hot Zone (already out @ Targets)

Commemorative Insecticons, Perceptor

Masterpiece Skywrap (Walmart)

Gathering at the Nemesis (Delux Soundwave G1 colors + Voyager Megatron repaint + Fallen (not shown; don't know which version); TRU only)

Voyager Fallen (Target; repaint?)

Animated -- plan to bring out ALL announced toys:

Deluxe Electrostatic Soundwave w/Ratbat (white version is coming as an Activator), Arcee (sword weapons which didn't appear in show; "kinda like female Jedis"), Rodimus Minor (burgundy, NOT black; originally going to be a Prime, but felt there were too many Primes in the story, so de-ranked - 1st non-Prime to command a squad), Cybertronian Ratchet, Cybertronian Ironhide (yes, he will have his own head sculpt), Fugitive Waspinator (repaint of Deluxe BB; didn't have money for a new head sculpt; spinning it as he "stole BB's helmet" in the bio)

Voyager Goldfire Grimlock (spelled with the "D"); Hydrodive BB ("he's a yellow submarine", yes the car is detachable), Blackout (from Movie; earth mode instead of show-accurate Cybertronian mode), Wingblade Op (Deluxe with new parts; can fit on Voyager); Thundercracker.

Q&A:

Redeco of Devastator is under consideration.

Supreme Dev no individual robots: "Trying to keep the toy/play simple enough for the price point; difficult to design spine(?)"

EDIT: I couldn't hear the question; the response mentioned that Takara was putting out a version of (something), but that there's "nothing definitive" in terms of bringing it over. This could be almost anything; can someone confirm what it was?

"I have to believe there will be a 3rd movie at this point", developing a new series for animation, but everything's up in the air -- Archer.

Re-release of Blaster + tapes "comes down to what condition the molds are in; even when Takara releases them, sometimes Hasbro can't (?)"

"Are you troubled by the unusally brutal depiction of Prime in ROTF? Does that damage his status as an icon?" Archer: everything has to be presented in its best format; in a movie, maybe Prime can get away with being aggressive; the threat warranted having someone's face ripped off (heh).

--

Nothing I wrote up is exact; transcription is beyond my typing skills on a tiny-ass laptop. And I couldn't hear most of the questions, because there was no audience mic, and the panel didn't repeat the questions for the audience. Gonna hit the floor now; won't be online for a while.

-XCN-

 

Something tells me we may never see the third bike...

 

Jungle Ironhide is wicked! God too many movie figures I want

 

I hate to be the one to bring the negativity, but I gotta say, kinda disappointed with most of these. Same old, same old.

They don't feel fully sure of themselves with most of these. They neither fit the movie style or the classic style. Wishy-washy.

 

This, I waited so long to see these and I wasn't disappointed. Blackout has a big weapon arm yeah but it suits him thematically at least.

Jungle Ironhide is nuts.

 

Thank you so much! Pictures are tiny as hell though. That F-117 looks freakin sweet! I love that jet and I will definitely be getting that and the Scout that goes with him! Barricade looks ok. Wish there were bigger pics though.

 

I.

NEED.

PICTURES.

OF.

HUMAN ALLIANCE MUDFLAP.
