They have not covered the rest of the Transformers yet? I'm guess that the rest of the characters are going to be made in 2010 like Scrapper, Hightower, the purple motorcycle, Overload, maybe more that are not from the movie and repaints.
Since TF3 is like 3 years away bec. the director wants to rest, my guess is we will see years and years of endless repaints. I hope they make more new toys : deluxe Purple bike. Fast action battlers Chromia and purple bike. Alice the Pretender Fast Action Battlers or Scout or Deluxe. Leader Starscream, Leader Fallen, Leader Soundwave, Leader Grindor. Devastator made out of 7 Deluxe toys. Devastator made out of 7 Voyager toys. Ultimate Optimus, Ultimate Megatron.
I don't know about leader class Soundwave. Remember they said he does not have that much parts in the movie.
The ROTF toyline is lasting into summer 2010. After that, it's whatever series Hasbro is going to premiere on their new channel.
They said Universe will come back at least as far as deluxes go in 2010 (we saw an early Drift toy sketch at Botcon), but I'm sure the mainline will have some sort of TV show to back it up, not just be a "catch-all" like Universe is.
Fast Action Battlers Wheelie. Ultimate Starscream. I hope they do a tv show based on the movie universe like Clone Wars
Aside from leader Starscream and the deluxe purple bike, I wouldn't get my hopes up for the rest of those
I'm hoping there's not too many repaints...I'm really not big on most of them. But it could be the best we get so I'll hope for the best and pick up the better ones.
I'll be a happy camper if, besides the already announced 2010 toys, we also get Scrapper, Hightower, and Overload.
It was pretty much confirmed at Botcon that ROTF toys were continuing well into 2010 (though with some more Universe-y stuff like Bludgeon). I think I'll be ready to see what's next by then, be it Universe 3, new cartoon whatever, or Animated leftovers.
I hope they keep coming out with new ROTF TFs well after the movie hits, just like they did for TFTM. Re-colors and new molds. I like how they were making new toys in the movie-style that had nothing to do with the movie.
Considering Universe doesn't start back until fall 2010 and the next cartoon series isn't even far enough along for a title or teaser pictures it's a really safe bet on more ROTF toys in 2010.
I'd like the following Human Alliance sets to go with the one already confirmed for next year (Barricade & Frenzy), Mudflap & Simmons ( or Leo ) Sideways & Alice I think these two would be more likely than Prime or Ironhide as they're about the same size as the other HA sets and would fit the current pricepoint. Other than that a Leader Class Long Haul or Blackout would be cool too but seeing as Starscream is set to be the 4th all new Leader Class mold for ROTF I'll be suprised if there's any more.
