Griffin, site admin of the Australian fan site Ozformers, has posted scans from a DotM Guidebook and was given away as a freebie at a Melbourne TRU pre-launch event. This guidebook is also the source of the Deluxe Cyberfire Bumblebee image that appeared ealier. In additional to the aforementioned Bee, the book also reveals a previously unseen Cyberverse Optimus Prime figure. This version features two energon blades, shoulder cannons, and new deco. A few of the images have been mirrored below, to view all the 32 pages worth of official photos and bios click here!

He also reports having already purchased DOTM Deluxe wave three. Not unusual since they often get figures at retail ahead us, but this does confirm the contents of wave three: Laserbeak, Mudflap, Nitro Bumblebee, and Thundercracker. Since wave one and two have already made appearances at our local retail, hopefully we won't have a long wait before we see these guys on the pegs.

Man, I'm really liking Hatchet! I'd like to see more pics of him.

Exactly what size is "Commander Class" anyway? Scout-ish? I'm trying to guess by the level of detail/articulation on each figure, but I'm still not sure.

Hatchet is probably going to find his way onto my shelf. The rest are of no interest to me.

That Commander Class Prime looks cute with his tiny swords.

They're somewhere between Legends and Scouts.

Aw, I go by a strict 'no repaints' rule, but one Cyberverse Optimus has two swords (and no flames?) and the other has the trailer. Decisions, decisions...

I don't know if I'll get Cyberfire BB, but the paint job actually looks kind of cool. I had already been thinking of getting Nitro BB, since I love the BTTF styling, and I don't know if I want two BB repaints. I'll just wait and see what I think when there are better pictures.

I meant Cyberfire BB... I dont know what remold thats from, but in that pic it looks not bad... esp with the paintjob adding something extra to it.

This is not the legends class Cyberfire Bumblebee, this is a repaint of the DOTM deluxe mold. TFW_2005 member len_d69 has shared an image from the limited Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Toy Guide Book that was distributed freely with a purchase of RM200 or more. It features a yellow and black flame deco and red windows tinted windows with the same MechTech weapon as DOTM Bumblebee.

I even repeated that on the first page.

It's just DOTM Deluxe 'Bee with new paint. Even their weapons are the same.

It great that we can finally see some of the future waves for this line (considering that this is all that we're going to get for a while). It's too bad that it seems they are just mostly repaints (in the deluxe line). Personally, I wish there were some more original molds in the line (especially wish Sideswipe would get a new one or at least use the Sidearm mold). But Hatchet (in the commander class) looks kinda neat (that is the Voyager class right?). So far it seems that I'm only going to get 2 or 3 from this line, it seems kinda boring I-)

First of all, Commander Class is Cyberverse, and are inbetween Legends and Scouts in size. And Sideswipe is a new mold altogether, check the galleries.

Ty for the clarification. I had forgotten the Sideswipe had a new deluxe mold. I guess the way they transformed him in the picture just made me think it was the old mold, my mistake :oops:

I really hope it turns out as a good figure, I like the whole Jet to Beast spin, don't see that executed too often.

deluxe Jolt looks pretty rad, but i don't want to open the floodgates just yet on that. I know if i buy him, I'll start on a downward spiral and start getting them all, and i do not want to have a repeat of RotF! I must say, Hatchet is a must have, goddamn that thing is gorgeous!

3 Waves, 13 figures and out of that there are 3 that I would consider buying and one that falls into the "Doesn't suck so maybe I'll but it" category. That's a pretty lousy track record you have going there Hasbro. You don't even give us the last 2 waveS of figures in your other 2 lines (at least not in my region) and then you heap 3 waves of mostly crap on us. Way to go! :BOOM:

We in Australia usually gets things at retail first? Hahahaha. No.

That being said, I have managed to snag a Shockwave, but havn't found any Deluxes beyond Wave 1. I wants me some Laserbeak.

Because he is the most popular character, and they think people/kids will buy them up like hotcakes.

So your'e saying he's more popular than optimus? By the way I think BB is being overused

Pretty much. Bumblebee has become the posterbot for the Movieverse, hence them abusing the character like this.

Man...I'm going to be broke. I actually like that Bee repaint. At least it isn't another Cannon Bumblebee.
And Laserbeak actually looks good to me this time!

I hope you both realise it's a repaint of the first DotM Bumblebee.

Well, I do know that, I was just listing the Bumblebees I thought were really good, I'm not liking the new ones though, but hey, I don't have to get everything.

Kid-appeal characters > Hero characters. Any day.

All I care is that I finally have a Barricade who isn't a f*cked up lump of plastic, that's actually balanced and posable, has actual HANDS and ARTICULATE ARMS without some stupid ass cheap gimmick, and actually looks decent.

Just ditched his stupid weapon and gave him a pair of extra blasters. EVIL COP PISTOLS!

Honestly, while I don't like them per say, I think MechTech was a WONDERFUL idea... if only because it puts the stupid gimmick Hasbro insists every movie figure have in a piece that's removable, allowing the figure itself to be better.

Still don't need THREE F*KING BUMBLEBEES IN AS MANY WAVES though. Especially since they're trying to trick stupid kids with the different paintjobs and weapons. If you're going to repaint/retool a mold, at least make it a different damn character.
