I dunno... looking at the size of those pins, that Sentinel Prime proto seems a bit smaller than Leader class to me. Like, maybe Voyager class.

Is Ironhide hauling around a pack of chinese smokes? Great message for little chinese children everywhere.

All size classes have been shrunk for the DotM line, supposedly so that they can allow for the large weapons. The only thing that hasn't shrunk is the price. You'll still get dinged Leader Class prices for just barely over a Voyager Class toy.

I'm pretty sure it's the Leader class.

Those look like a baby puked and shat on them. What is with the color schemes and the head design?
I swear the Movie figures look like poop!

i would agree if little chinese kids were really privy to images like these. for all we know it was taken so (smoking?) adult nerds can wank off to how in (or out-of)-scale ironhide is to the rest of his-her collection
i cant beleive im saying this, as i hated the movie aesthetic from the get-go, but really? the designs have become much more refined over the years, and while i wont defend the mech-tech weapon gimmicks, i think the re(re-re-re-re in bumblebees case)-iterations of the first movie characters are pretty good.
not that im drooling over them, i still dont think theyre my cup of tea and wont buy except for the large HA and select leaders,(lookin at you Ironhide!) the movie was a huge milestone in the transformers brand IMHO so i wont ignore it.
if you notice, theyre taking on a more blocky appearance with the toys, and i think this is good for two reasons:
1. somebody correct me if im wrong, but hasbro reps thought the ROTF toyline was too complicated for kids, and so theyve made them a bit simpler this go-round. i think this is a step toward more classics-style toys
2. with the movie trilogy complete, all you have to sit through is just one more movie toy blitz, excellent conditions for fat wallet syndrome. more money for when CHUGRtS starts up again in full force!

I think these are looking better all the time. When the first leaked images started to trickle in I was completely underwhelmed, and really thinking this would be the first line in a long time I skipped out on. Now though, I'm totally in. I can't wait to get the Wreckers, Shockwave, and Sentinel Prime. Heck, even Crackcase is starting to look good.

Wasn't Crankcase's name supposed to be Dreadbox? Or did Bay name him Crankcase, but nicknamed him Dreadbox? Or is he actually not Dreadbox? Or am I actually making this up? 
Are you confused yet?

I believe Crankcase took on the nickname "Dreads" because of his dreadlock like head tentacles. I don't think there was ever any intention of that actually being his name. The name Dreadbox is now being associated with the Ferrari.

Michael Bay was quoting as saying the Ferrari was a Decepticon named Dreadbox... not the Insecticon like Crankcase. However, I believe this is misinformation given by him to throw us off.

Oh, right. Forgot, it was the Ferrari, not the Suburban. My bad. Also, other than Roadbuster, what were the names of the other two Wreckers?

The Lowes car is Topspin and the Target car is Leadfoot.

The packaging is much better than the first two movies in my opinion. I'm really liking the new deluxe Ratchet. Roadbuster and Bee don't look bad either.

Sentinel Prime looks good, as do the NASCARS. Will have to take a close look at Bee's bot mode.
Ironhide looks promising. He'll be great for [reasonably] in-scale display with HA Bee and Jazz. Wish I had a pack of Chinese smokes to gauge his size.

Why does Crankcase resemble Predator ??? Not just the dreads but his whole damn jaw is a straight up bite off of Predator. That is so wack.
