Anyone who thinks all Movie-style TF toys are junk, or that all DOTM toys are junk - there are a surprising amount of these, considering that the first wave of the things won't be released for more than two months - just get out.

So, which DOTM toy are you looking forward to the most? I pick Sentinel Prime. Unless it's redecoed in Alpha Trion colors, in which case it will be that. Followed by Skyhammer, Crankcase, and Skids.

I'm not the biggest fan of the movie lines; but I have a few movie-branded toys. Mindwipe, for example, was just too cool to pass up.

Leader class Sentinel Prime does look pretty good; though the paint apps on the actual toy appear to be lacking in the photos we've seen so far. If I get this at all, I'll probably wait for the TakaraTomy release.

While I was initially skeptical, the more I see of the DOTM figures, the more I like them. Several designs do seem to be improvements over ROTF figures: Barricade, for instance. (Though, I so far continue to be unimpressed with the DOTM Optimus Prime figures.)

I've been most impressed with Skyhammer. I think he's quite possibly the best helicopter Transformer yet. As with ROTF, I probably won't be getting many DOTM figures; but I'll get this one.

All that said, I'm not digging the MechTech weapons. They're just too ridiculously huge and blocky.

Oh man, DOTM toys are junk. They suxxorrz.

Shockwave's looking dandy.

Sentinal Prime seems the most promising so far. I'm also looking forward to that helicopter with the folding blades and Barricade.

I love movie figures there the reason i started collecting and i'm looking forward to a couple of DOTM now .

Skyhammer is the first one i want i think he's gonna be my favorite .

Sandstorm looks realy good in robot mode i just dont like the human or any human tf toy in H.A.

Shockwave simply because it's him and it's a movie shockwave.

Soundwave if he has a earth mode .

Lazerbeak untill i saw them pics i hope it was a prototype.

Thundercracker a nice delux and not a clunky voyager.

Sentinal Prime looks ok not too fussed .

The Wreckers mainly topspin.

cant think of anymore at the moment.

1. Voyager Shockwave
2. Voyager Megatron
3. Leader Ironhide
4. Leader Sentinel Prime

I'm most interested in Megatron. He's an origianl take on the character in my opinion.
There's no doubt that i'll pick him up. I really like the cloak and mangled face concept.

Skyhammer looks to be the best in the line to me so far.I mite buy him but not sure.

Shockwave looks better than i ecpected but i'm still not 100 percent convinced on actually buying him though. When he's in hand i could change my mind though.

Voyager Megatron and Leader Ironhide are the only ones that interest me. I had high hopes for Shockwave, but they have been dashed.

Probably Skyhammer followed by Sentinal Prime.

That's not even a question. They all suck. All the movie figures suck! More G1!

Please don't applaud me for that. I'm just being humourous.

Anyway, so far I think:
1. Deluxe Topspin
2. Voyager Ironhide
3. Voyager Optimus Prime (yes, I'm serious)
4. Voyager Megatron
5. Sentinel Prime
6. Target-exclusive Starscream
7. Deluxe Ratchet
8. Thundercracker
