No, Drift's helicopter toy is more than a mere repaint. It's remold, with a new head and new parts.

Agree.
But is unjust to me.

Maybe they did that (the repaint) because he is not very important. Or maybe lack of time to made a original mold to him. Maybe the two.
I don't know, is only speculation.

Rollbar is not in the movie. Shane's car is not a robot in the movie. They just made this toy to make more money. Ir's not even a movie mold.

Naked truth. :-(

Why? That toy's a movie mold. They wouldn't put a character in these movies if his only toy (1 Step changer aside) wasn't a movie mold.

Is this Rollbar an homage to Armada Minicon Rollbar?

Not when Armada Rollbar wasn't rally-colored. They just took the deco of Shane's car, put it on a toy with a somewhat similar altmode, and slapped an existing name on it.

Maybe you can't call it an homage, but... I don't know, seems like they at least took a few design cues from Armada Rollbar. White body, purple thigs,... I don't think the color similarities are just coincidence.

Unjust (in my opinion) because:
1) Almost sure that the "Helicopter Drift" in movie is not the same helicopter model of Skyhammer (DOTM), presuming that he will transforming in a helicopter...
I live in Brazil, so I didn't watch the AOE movie yet.
I think the 1SC (1 Step Changer) is more movie accurate (again: my speculation)

2) Drift deserves a triple-changer mold - if he is a triple-changer in the movie.

3) If not (if he simply change his alternate mode during the movie history), he deserves a exclusive helicopter mold.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :sad: :shock: :sad:

I guess not, because Springer is not a mold of the movie line (sign).

So, do you think AoE Prime (the new design) will get a better toy than the Leader Class and First Edition ones in the not too distant future? (Considering the contrast between his new streamlined robot-body and the bulky Western Star semi, is it even possible?)
What can I say, I kind of wanted one after watching the movie but neither looks like they're worth it.

Also, any new detail about his Evolution 2-pack? (date/price/availability..)

It's the best we're going to get for a good while. Plus, the Movie line line will last only until the end of the year, so if you want to get a representation of Prime, either get them now or wait until the next movie.

by the by, Don't make the mistake of grabbing either the First Edition Prime, or its Platinum Silver Knight repaint.

Also, any new detail about his Evolution 2-pack? (date/price/availability..)


- Has Evasion Mode with added blue flame detailing, and Classics Voyager Prime.
- Both have chrome pieces
- Toys 'R Us exclusive like the other Evolution 2-packs.
- Expect it to be released late Summer/early Fall.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

Don't be sorry, tell it like it is. They were bad/average molds to begin with. Maybe they are good to kids but the rest of us don't want that huge backpack on Optimus when he's "Extremely" streamlined in the movie. And Grimlock's dino mode looks like some weird disproportionate mutant lizard rather than a T-Rex.

I foresee Mace-Spinnin' Grimlock reviving some extinct Shake-Weight memes.

Along with all my dumb Ass-Master jokes. "Grimlock challenges Nebulos-based Autobot commander Gluteus Maximus to a--"

NO! No, must fight it! RRRRRGH!

i dont know why but i kinda like that high octane 1 step bumblebee, not sure if hes a must have but a clearance figure for sure. Steeljaw and slag on the other hand are must buy, just hope walmart keeps these guys at $8. Even chopper drift looks pretty good, reminds me of that one scout mold from energon, the names elude me at the moment. The rest is pretty much garbage, i dont think the AoE line is going to last very long. Its nothing more than repaints & 4 different versions of the same character.
