I don't like them at all. Especially Ransack.

But the little bastard may actually be in the movie, so we'll see how that goes. They gotta fill that 40+ robots quota some how!

First: The reason why ALL first pics are so blurry is because they are taken quickly by people who work in the factory. They don't have time to make sure everything is in the frame and it will be in focus, they want to get the news out to us fans while keeping their jobs.

Wow. Way off their. First They don't care about the fans, the only thing they care about is selling a stolen figure for $200. The reason that they most likely keep them blurry is they know there is higher demand when someone is buying something as a collector that no one has seen before. This is the same thing that happened with the Sound wave prototype. Don't say that they took the time to take photos of it in every position possible, but didn't take the time to focus it.

It's a frickin Bi-Plane! That's hilariously awesome, I'm gonna be forced to buy it just for the alt mode.

And if the boat really is named Depth Charge than I will be forced to buy him as well.

I'm really liking these new alt modes like everyone is talking about, but heres food for thought wasn't one of the combaticons a biplane too in starscreams brigade?? Anyway, both are very kool and hopefully and release date for the new ROFT figures will come soon!

Nope, IIRC all the Combaticons were World War II machines before Starscream added the personality componants.

EDIT: The two aircraft - what looks like a P-51 Mustang and some form of small bomber - become Vortex and Blastoff, respectively.

If they make the scout class vehicles into actual movie characters, then we will see these in the movie, however, the scouts from the first movie, weren't toys; they were just used in the comic book continuum outside of the movie.

And they've already kinda blown the identity of the geriatric robot by previously posting the jetfire bio, where it says he's an older decepticon that joins the autobots... if i remember correctly...

[Swiftpaw]

Interesting. Looks like the Bi-Plane's name is Ransack

Makes sense. It would make him a G1 & G2 homage. G1 for name, G2 for the Rotorforce biplane was named Ransack as well.

[Craven Knight]

Wow, these ROTF Scouts are looking really good - That bi plane is cool.

Meantime is the only movie figure I EVER bought.
I never liked these movie figures at all, doing my best to ignore them, though they glut the toy aisles.

But really. I really hope these two figures are just photoshopped "gag" disinformation that Bay referenced he'd be engaging in way back.
