Is the movie toy line over with yet? The movie and the toys are not out yet, and im alread sick of both!

Dear Hasbro;

After the movie, the movie toys and ranking in grand profits, please continue the RTS and Genline figures for us.

And most of all

Dear Michael Bay;

Please make this YOUR last Transformer movie....EVER!!

I would say that Sentinel's mold is nice, but it is missing some painting applications. For sure he deserves more details. I'm sure we will get it as another Movie Masterpiece toy, but again for double of the price.

I'm just curious about his size. It will be disappointing if he is shorter than ROTF Leader OP.

I actually like Sentinel's look. However I'm sick of all the Bumblebee's. It's ugly and ridiculously outta scale.

Seriously, Hasbro has, for the most part, failed with this line. After all the money I spent from the first and second movie toylines, I guess I'll have a hefty wallet after this line.

I'm sure they will be continuing those type of toy lines. Similar lines have lasted through the last movies. Why doubt Hasbro now?

On topic, I'm liking Sentinel more and more every time I see him. I'll likely be picking him up!

Eeeexactly. The only thing okay is sentinel... and to be honest, I usually don't like the plastic on movie figures. Their grooves and detail lines seem blurry and dull.

Too much Bee since 07 movie? Yes. Marketing purpose, never enough. Why do we have back to school sale every year? Same thing here. For kids who were still too young and "in theory" were not allowed to watch the previous two movies, they can watch this one now since they are 2 or 4 years older and pretty much they will watch the previous two as well. Then for sure they will want at least one Bee, any size. So, here we go. Expect another wave of remold and remold in this line.

While I like the CGI render and the figure on the box, I'm disappointed with how Sentinel ultimately turned out. Paint apps are your friend Hasbro. Cheaping out on the leader figures is a bad move for the amount of cash you ask me to shell out. Regardless, he's such a good looking figure otherwise that he's a must for me. To date, he's the only must.

Thank you Hasbro!

Sentinel Prime is wicked. And his alt-mode is actually officially licensed!

And finally...an oversized Bumblebee worthy of a collector's shelf. He looks just like his CGI model. He may go well with MP figures.

Sentinel Prime is a must, he looks great!

Plus I'll always have the memory of me randomly looking out my office window and seeing him and Megatron drive by last summer.

I've already decided to get Sentinel Prime.

Bee? Still on the fence. His torso looks disproportionately large. I'll have to see the real thing before making a decision. Honestly, there are only two reasons why I'm even considering buying an overgrown BB:

1. He looked pretty decent in the first photos of the prototype, and TF box art is notorious for making a fig look bad.

2. While we still haven't seen better pics of deluxe DOTM Bumblebee, he doesn't look too good from the currently available pics. I'm not a fan of peg holes on a toy, either. Thing is, I've taken a liking to the DOTM BB design, and the prototype Leader class Bee looked like a half-decent representation of it.

But after seeing the box art, I'm not so sure anymore.

As stated above, paint apps would do a lot for the Sentinel Prime figure. It is actually growing....off of me at this point. I really liked the earlier photos posted, but it could look SOOOOOOOOOOO much better in package.

BB, I don't care.

Another thing, I really dislike the packaging for the DoTM line. It is not attractive at all to me.

Then go to Walmart or Target. It's called Generations and Reveal the Shield. It's almost entirely G1. And what do we get after every movie line? Oh yeah...G1. Hasbro doesn't forget it's G1 fans. Half of everything they make is G1 based. They don't forget their movie fans either. That's why they make movie figures to coincide with Transformers movies.
G1 will return. Just be patient. Let people have their Bayverse fun first.

Man, what a disappointment. Sentinal looks like he lost a whole lot of paint apps and that shiny, sparkly red and silver, is now dull-red and assembly-line-grey. What a bummer too, that's what really made that figure. I assume it has a horribly dull firetruck mode too, which sucked cause that is my favorite mode for him. You can definitely tell between the brilliant shield on the box art, and the dull plastic it really is that comes with the figure.
