I never noticed it before, but Skid's alt mode reminds me a lot of Animated Bumblebee.

I must admit, I'm not feelin' most of the movie line this time.

Sweet! That green constructicon actually looks like a constructicon! Pretty good for a FAB i'd say.

i see a G2 megs kitbash in that Ratchet

I like both of these constructicons a lot. Rampage is a nice homage to his Beast Wars counterpart, since he's a crab-walker.

And Long Haul...he looks like what I imagined a G1 Constructicon would look like on the big screen.

Long Haul looks great. I am pleasantly surprised. He looks a lot like the Art of him floating around on the Net since the early summer or spring. A lot like it.

Glad to see Ratchet for a change in the ROTF news. I like the camo look. It would look better on screen.

Jetfire looks like a Baleen Whale in his face. Or a gorilla with a baleen whale's mouth.

The twin guy's face just looks embarrassingly stupid. But oh well. Now Wheelie might have some new friends in the most despised TF club.

The Constructicons are going to be some classic favorites from now on I bet. At least some of them are. The movie will really make the odd looking Scavenger guy more appealing than the toy seems so far.

I like "Bonecrushers" alt mode but not his robot mode. There really isnt even a robot mode just looks like a jumble of parts with a head. Long Haul is awesome, glad they did him justice. Is that the deluxe or FAB version? The rest ill pass on.

I'm warming up to the "non-traditional" bot modes on the constructicons. It's kinda' neat.

But, with that said, I REALLY dig Longhaul, and I do kind of wish they went that route instead.

Long Haul=awesome, best lookin' Constructicon so far.
Jetfire=SUPERAWESOME, I'm so lovin' his look for the movie.
Skids, that face, UGH!
Rampage, no sir I don't like it. I'm glad I'm passing the seperate DLX. bots and going straight for Devastator. Maybe his his FAB will look a bit better.
Ratchet, godawful. Goes to show you, a deco can ruin a figure.
BB, meh. Gonna pass cuz I already got the first movie version.

I think that's Josh Nizzi's design for Long Haul, really glad it was used. It has been out there on the web for a long while, just a fantastic design. The others are ok I guess. Only one I'll get out of the bunch is Bumblebee. Like a lot of others have said I'm only going to get a few out of the new line, my son will get them all I bet :cry:

My poor wallet :lol:

Jetfire's face kinda reminds me of DW's Fallen's face.

... the horror ... the HORROR...

Tue Feb 24, 2009 7:08 am

i like the scratched out decepticon symbol on jet fire

BB eyes were kinda creepy 8-}

Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:57 am

I'm still thinking that Long Haul is one of the best FAB's we've seen to date...

I'm really digging the yellow bulldozer (Rampage?). The alt mode looks like a real dozer, and the bot mode is very interesting and different, in a cool way. I can't wait to see what the other transforming Constructicons look like.

Tue Feb 24, 2009 12:17 pm

My only thing is the Rampage toy. It's different seeing a quadrupedal robot.

Anyone know if the deluxe constructicons will be able to combine?

News Credits: 1 · Tue Feb 24, 2009 5:09 pm

Sigh... must admit to liking the yellow constructicon (rampage?). And 'm sure I'll like Long Haul's regular delux or voyaer form, I love his design. That means I have to buy all the constructicons that ake up deastator, AND all the ones (at least the ones we've seen) that hae individual robot modes. PLUS I'll have to buy leader Jetfire, Megs, and Prime, AND The Fallen, AND Sideswipe, and I'm sure there's gonna be a load of New Decepticons I'll have to buy with this line.

TF2 is the Wallet Murderer. Let's not forget having to buy the movie itself later on.

The bulldozer is mis-transformed in vehicle mode. It's robot mode, if it does indeed cruise around on all fours could be interesting in the movie. I'm feeling that as things progress the Decepticon forces are slowly becoming kind of insect-like... like a swarm.

What's with Ratchet's colour scheme? Is he off to infiltrate mardi gras or something??

I like the vehicle mode of the green car (can't be bothered remembering it's name) and most of it's transformed body but the head sculpt is horrid!

I like Long Haul! That's a Constructicon!

Bumblebee... yea, we've kinda seen that a bajillion times already.

I can't say I like Jetfire. His head and face and hunched over look just doesn't appeal to me.

Wed Feb 25, 2009 1:23 pm

yea I am really wondering what is up with Ratchets paint scheme. Its pretty horrible. I am starting to really like what I have seen of the constructicons. Long Hauls design is awesome, and I think what I have seen of Rampage and Demolisher have been good too, very unique. Can't wait to see the rest.
