Goosefish from Actoys.net had posted new galleries of Ninja (not Rosanna) and Kingbat (Not-Ratbat). The galleries also provided some pics how they interact with current Generations and Animated figures.

soooooooo is not-ratbat sitting on their heads or is not-ratbat supposed to be a "headmaster" like from animated?

if he's just sitting there,...then I'm confused,...and it looks dumb....either way.

*edit* not-Rosanna is a must have though

That's one possable little.... er big gun

Love the little gun-dude! The other thing... no.

How they use not-Rat Bat is confusing and makes him look stupid and not very desirable. But having the figure myself I like him. I don't use not-Rat Bat the way they have him in these pictures.

Not-Rosanna, on the other hand, is really awesome- hip joints suck really bad though.

I'd like to know where I can get my hands on some of those action figure stands. Be nice to pose the flyer figures (like the Seeker jets) while in vehicle mode and 'flying'.

It's a good thing I pay attention to these galleries. I had no idea the small hand gun was used as a grip in cannon mode and to connect them to City Commander/Shadow Commander upgrade sets.

Seconded. I'd buy Rosanna in a heartbeat but Kingbat just sucks as the one thing I'd need him to be: a bat! I'm just going to have to stick with the Ratbat substitute I already use. Which is sad considering I currently use a random Bakugon I found at work!

Ha ha, Ratbat is doing his Galactus impression.

'Ninja' looks great, can't wait to have'er. But these pics of Kingbat show everything that's sad & ugly about'im. Luckily, he'll still be incredibly useful for.. http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... nja/20470/

In my opinion, the only thing "Kingbat" is useful for is that bitchin' sword, its pretty sick, but its not worth 30 bucks (:|

, apparently he's pretty fragile too. :roll:

"Ninja" on the other hand is awesome, the only things I think they could have improved are some of the paint applications, mainly the ones on the thighs and mouthplate, speaking of which I wish that mouthplate was pink(or light red or burgundy, I dont know it changes in about every picture >.>) to make her more like Rosanna, and not First-aid from the Protectobots. :-(

Ninja looks really good. I'll be picking her up. Lol Kingbat on the other hand...it looks good as a trident but I really have no need for a huge trident.

Ninja is pretty well fantastic, Kingbat's bat mode is balls, but his trident and jet modes are alright, not to mention he comes with that sword, which totally reminds me of the one that G1 Megatron came with (only clear purple instead of chrome). As they come as a set, and the only this I don't like is Kingbat's bat mode... I think that still makes the set worth it.

They come individually, too, but they're sold out of the singles at most places.

So let me get this straight... Kingbat is a headmaster, targetmaster, sword, jetpack, trident, and a Ratbat wannabe?

My brain is on fire :BOOM:

Sun Jan 02, 2011 2:37 pm

The more I see of Ratbat the more stupid I think he looks. Im thinking about putting him on my secondary want list of things to see in person at Botcon 2011 before I buy em. Now the Rosanna looks pretty cool. But where would she fit in a G1 collection ??? Valkarie's hands are too small to hold a targetmaster. :BANG_HEAD:

Close. He's a headmaster, targetmaster, sword, jetpack and a trident. He fails completely at being anything remotely like a bat.

your life is complete! Everybody needs a huge trident, surely?

I like the Ninja design, not keen on the colours, the red and blue repaints I like better. Kingbat doesn't look entirely terrible, but I think giving us 2 (or more) completely random looking modes is straying a bit from their usual Half-Accurate not-Transformers. This one doesn't look like Ratbat in any mode, and other than the trident/sword I can't see any reason to have it myself. If it were cheaper, the sword does look pretty nice, I'll give them that.

Sun Jan 02, 2011 4:06 pm

Rosanna is cool. Kingbat I bought not for his bat mode, but so my Classics Megatron could actually have something to hold and not be mocked by my Classics Prime having an LED-lit gun, two trailers and his armor. So, win there.

Hahaha no, not complete. But since I just bought Terradive, the trident itch has been scratched for the time being. I'd much rather save up for the upcoming Reflector.

I'd like to buy a few PE products right now but they put them out so closely together, my wallet cant handle it.

All i can say is, im glad i have these on order and i believe BBTS and TFS is sold out of King Bat as well or at least they was as of Sunday 3:00am.

I have to defend Kingbat a little. When I first saw the pics of these guys online I was very skeptical, because his bat mode is so stylized. In hand though, it really works quite well. The trident mode is really cool, as is the sword when detached as used as a stand alone weapon. Plus if you just can't get past is freaky bat mode, his jet mode is pretty good on it's own merit. For me though the bat mode works.

I have to agree with El duque about Ratbat, and your pic is the bomb!! Plus i have Ratbat, Ninja and PE rumble/Frenzy on order with some other stuff and just picked up WFC Soundwave and Ratbat, Rumble and Frenzy will look bitchin together with Soundwave.

Now if only PE can make Beast Box and Squalk talk....hmmmm
