Currently Star Wars Celebration IV is taking place. There is some Transformers related news coming out of the event. New Transformers Attacktix figures based on G1 and the upcoming Transformers Movie were shown. Jedi Insider has posted images of the figures here.

I've got to admit, I like some of those Attacktix figures. Especially Laserbeak!

I'll go for the G1 figs if I can see them. If they do that stupid mystery box crap again,

It aint worth it.

you can expect them to be blind packed.. hopefully they go back to 3 per box instead of 2 like they did with the last group............

on a side note, did they ever release the battle pack w/ galvatron??

Like the G1 figures, though I do not own a single attacktix figure.
Isn't there supposed to be an arcee figure for this series? I'm anxious to see if it's a G1 design.

They'd be great little collectables if they didn't have the ridiculously oversized weapons. Ironhide's the only decent one in that regard. Skywarp looks like he's riding a cannon Dr. Strangelove style, and Shockwave looks like his arm is being eaten by The Blob or a dimensional portal or a strange Lovecraftian ether being. Hasbro needs to make up its mind once and for all what color Rumble is, red or blue. I think they swap his colors on purpose just to screw with the people who like to argue about it.

must...have...sideswipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strange they did a Titanium Jetfire along with a bunch of G1 and movie characters. Probably because they can't do a G1 Jetfire coz of copyright issues...

Heck, I'm tempted to repaint that Jetfire as Titan

Those G1 figures, heck even some of the movie ones, are very nice looking! I might have to reconsider getting these!

The Frenzy looks exactly like the mini-figure that was available in Japan over a year ago. His weapons are on upside-down which lead me to believe they come off just like on the mini-statue. Arms too.

Wow, didn't expect Grapple, Sideswipe or Blaster. I don't care if they transform or not...they look better than some of the crap that DOES transform.

I don't even want to know what that movie Prime toy is holding in his hand. Whatever it is, it looks circumcised.

holy crap, Ironhide is holding a stop light? That is just awesome

The Galvatron case set did not release, however, the figure from it has been repurposed for the second series.

Arcee is also in Series 2 (you can see a pic of her in one of the shots, and also on the attacktix.com site).

Many of the G1 figures are from future series beyond series 2...something to look forward to.

did series 2 ever even come out?

TF series 2 and SW series 5 should be out soon...the starters for both have already started showing up, which means the boosters shouldn't be far behind.

I got the Series 2 Skywarp....Series 2 isn't out yet? (the starscream repaint)

I bought him off ebay a month back and I don't think I have seen any since. I got him quite inexpensively too.
