I predict a Bumblebee figure.

But seriously, I predict a bunch of crappy figures I don't care about but will pretend to care about when they are released.

I predict fanrage and butthurt.

I predict I'm going to save a lot of money.

I predict I will buy about 5 figures and regret buying 4 out of 5 of em.

I predict a decent toy line with ups and downs, wins and fails, a few failed attempts at what could have been something great, a cancelled figure or two that will kill it for me, and simpler transformations all the way through. Its just how things are. Nothing is perfect, we have sat through how many toy lines now? Alot of you act as though this is a recent trend for Has/Tak, but its not. Every line has its turds, gems, cancelled gems, and cancelled turds. This will be no different in that regard.

Quality on the other hand, I can agree on. Give us figures that aren't as hallow inside as FOC Jazz makes me feel and if they MUST be simpler, since thats a complaint from someone somewhere, make them at the very least on par with Prime in the accuracy/complexity level of things. Thats all I could expect, and if the majority sucks, again buy gems, avoid turds.

Terminator endoskeletons. Car vomit. That is all.

I think you said the same thing on the fist page of this thread.

My wishes:
Simple, but very clever and effective transformations, like with the FOC or TF Prime figures.
Sizes and plastic quality comparable to ROFT or the first Generations releases.

Worst case scenario:
Smallish transformers with cheap-ass, almost clear plastics with lots of gaping hollow holes everywhere. Transformations even simpler than Go Bots.

Oops! Yeah, I thought this was a different thread for some reason...

I'm just hoping they'll drop the stupid MECHTECH weapons. If they want to put some weapons or accessories with the figures then they should keep them show/movie-accurate and simple. Nothing wrong with simple NON-gimmicked weapons that are show-accurate (Like Bumblebee's twin-blasters in P:RiD line)
Cause the biggest killer for P:RiD Voyagers are those tragic weapons.

Without any personal experience myself I'd say that DOTM Shockwave might have been one of the few (if any) MECHTECHs that worked.

No one guessed "Dinobots"!

If there are Dinobot figures, those will be the ones to get from this line. I recently decided to sell off about half my Movie collection, so I'm going to be more picky with this line, but if there are Dinobots... I must have Dinobots.

The last round of movie toys were a little bit meh for me. I only picked up the Shockwave. Prior to that I bought a Soundwave.

If the Dinobot rumor is true, I'll definitely keep my eyes out for the toys. I'm just hoping that the Dinobots that are to be featured in the movie aren't some horrible bastardization of Grimlock, Slag (or Slug for FOC), Sludge and the rest of them.

Looking at some of the new vehicle designs, it makes me think of Transformers Prime.

I feel this movie definitely will be a reboot, and maybe geared more towards a younger audience. (T3 was a bit dark) Therefore maybe the designs will be more streamlined and accessible like Transformers Prime.

I would love if that were the case, then Movie Dinobots could live in my classics lineup.

It's definitely not. Check the movie subforum.

Well I did not mean a full reboot, but maybe more of a slight departure.

Like others have said,i think we're gonig to have simpler transformation like the TF Prime line.How complex are the Generations toys though?I dont have any.

I think we are getting 3 Leader class toys.

I know this is going to sound silly,but the Leader class toys are still called Leader class or are they called Weaponizers now?

As usual, I'll probably get a couple of the non-screen toys that'll match with my Classics figures. I think Skyhammer was my most favourite fig to come out of DOTM.

So when will we see reveals for the first wave of the movie toyline anyways?

In Revenge of the Fallen and in Dark of the Moon,Barricade got toys.
In DOTM Blackout also had a new toy.

Anyone thinks characters form previous movies will get new toys?
That would be an excellent opportunity to get an Dino toy.

Maybe Toy Fair we will have more news,warzon 3.
