Nope.

We aren't doing this.

When are we going to start seeing toys of actual in-movie characters? Where's Jetfire? Arcee? The Constructicons?

I don't really care about the "filler" characters (though the forklift guy is pretty cool)...

They look pretty cool but I want to see actual movie characters.

All these little guys look like fun. Can't wait to see the mainline stuff.

is this why they didn't make a mixmaster toy aswell because they're in the movie???possible.

Strange that they seem to be moving away from the total movie aesthetic... now they look like traditional figures with movie heads and hands grafted on...so weird. But these do appear to be smaller class figures, so they're probably replacing the Real Gears. Those guys seemed to be shelfwarmers, as cool as some of them were.

Man. I wish they had more of a break between movies.

We still haven't seen the last of the movie toys in stores and I'm just getting over being sick of seeing them everywhere. I wonder if this means Universe is just another filler line like classics? Or will it continue on while the Movie line returns? On that note, what of Animated? We keeps seeing all these awesome designs being made, I really hope they make it to the figure stage.

Same here, boss man! I think this thing looks totally BADASS!

I might buy multiples if it’s a troop builder like the forklift from the first movie game.

Dirt boss is scrapper from the videogame. There will be a possible toy of shockwave or mixmaster

Y'know, I never played the game, and I still don't know what Shockwave looked like. Does anyone know where I can find a pic?

Movie Shockwave from the video game was a triple changer - he turned from an apache helicopter to artillery piece to robot.

Here's a little more background on the forklift character, if anybody's interested...

The name? Not so much.

Well, at least there will be a warehouse style Transformers, it's something of an interesting way to think outside the box. Maybe they should also have a staple gun that transforms, or a duct tape gun that transforms.

Nice! Thanks for that info. For people like myself who never played the game, this is pretty cool to know. Oh and....
