    Don't put your misery on Revenge of The Fallen. And your opinion of RoTF toys is crap.

    I guess its not too surprising. From what we knew they should've been shipping relatively soon. But no one has seen anything more than the one picture of her and her alt mode. No stolen toy pics or anything.

    Sad news. Hopefully one day though.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Personally, I'm not a fan of the movie toys. I wont be buy more than two total. And I love the Animated figures. So I am a sad panda.

    So a few months ago BBTS, TFCC, etc cancel pre-orders for Arcee, ES Soundwave, etc. Then TFCC posts new pre-orders, the reason being that the figures would supposidly be available later this year. Now TFCC is canceling pre-orders again. I'm not surprised.

    I like Animated and the movie aesthetic.

    But when someone slathers their misery of Animated's demise onto the Movies hype/success, like butter on to a bun, that is when I can fight back. I call it unfair, really.

    Yes, he/she's entitled to his/her own opinion, but I find it moot when someone unfairly attacks something.

    And that's what I did.

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Just because they do not agree with you does not make it "crap and hogwash" - 2005 Staff

    That was uncalled for - 2005 Staff

    That is exactly my problem with this situation. For those of us who are not attracted to the movie toys, there is nothing else for us to focus on in our hobby.

    Blackout only ever qualified for an Animated toy BECAUSE he was from the movie stuff!

    Well, slot me into your blacklist because I have the same opinion as RidgeRanger. I hate the movie toys. What I hate even more is that everything else (like Animated) is getting sacrificed to promote the movie toys. So while I would just normally ignore a toyline I don't like, I feel compelled to actively voice my frustration on the matter. Hasbro has had more than one line out at a time before, they could do it again. There is room for more than just ROTF toys.

    I went to the Club Store and Blackout is still listed for the time being; but, both Arcee and the Soundwave repaint with Ratbat are sure enough gone. I remembered seeing them there just a week or two ago.

    It's weird. We had preorders for Arcee, Soundwave, etc, but no produced figures.
    We had no preorders for Cybertron Ratchet, yet we have proof they actually made the figure.

    Who the hell is running this mess? And who can we get to replace them, because...damn.

    Yes, heaven forbid you can't spend money on toys for a few months.

    Look at the bright side, though. At least now you get to save up for whatever Hasbro releases next.

    I wouldn't be surprised if all of the Animated figures were just canceled outright. This is soo gross.

    Not sad about this at all to be honest, much more interested in the ROTF stuff than these remaining Animated figs.

    I agree with eriku.

    I also fear that the RoTF toyline may be the only toyline for probably the rest of the year if it does well economically.

    Not a lot of variety, Hasbro unless you have some Universe toys in RoTF packaging.
