I'm pretty sure CrossSell is just the term for the standard "also available" bit. Though if one of these guys IS named CrossSell, I'll buy it for that alone.

Glad to see that the Barricade redeco stays a Decepticon. Wonder who that other 'con is on the far right.

Loving all these movie toys, and hoping for more piucs of the Barricade redeco and the mystery 'con.

I have to agree with you, Krizack. Crosssell doesn't sound like a name of Transformer character. Maybe "Cross Shell," or something, but that would still be stupid (unless if it was a motocross bike with heavy artillery, but that would still be stupid).

No no no.

"Cross Sell" is a term used for the advertising of other figures. It's not the name of a character. Here's Wikipedia's listing for a Cross Sell: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_selling

The other figues you see listed on the packaging are what's known as a cross sell.

Anywho...

From left to right:

'09 Bumblebee, Longarm, Final Battle Jazz, "Final Battle"(?) Barricade, Payload.

FBJ, Payload, and Longarm can be seen in greater detail here:

EDIT: I used a translator on the post about Dropkick, looks like in the cross sell, it's just Barricade again. It didn't actually say it was, but it looks to be Final Battle Barricade, like Final Battle Jazz. If I'm seeing this correctly, looks like he might be sporting Prowl colors.

They weren't outnumbered if you counted the constructicon repaints

Nice. Must have him. When does the next wave come out? The Barricade repaint doesnt look that good. To bad we cant see the names. I want to know who the one all the way to the left is.

Ya he's video game character all right. Iy says so on the top of the box, but the glare cuts alot of it off.

I like the looks of this one. Seems most of the non-movie figures are the better of the bunch. Exceptions include swindle and dreadwing. Both are so garbage.

That's what I like the most too. I like the Cybertron and Titanium ones too, but these are my new faves tied with the Classics line (which I HOPE they continue along with Alternators).

I think the front page news announcement needs to be updated to reflect that there is no figure called crosswise and that the only figure is the new one seen in the images...

Dropkick looks pretty cool, I'm sure I'll get him.

I'm not sure how anyone can discern much from the 'cross sell'--the other toys available at the time of this one--

Drop Kick is interesting. Truck mode is cool!

._. HE LOOKS LIKE A NORMAL TRANSFORMER. *will buy him abd love him*

by **Dclone Soundwave** » Sat Jun 16, 2007 7:39 pm

I like the giant Decepticon insignia on Dropkick's hood. (Not that I have or ever will like the movie Insignias) I can't see CrossSell that well, but I'll probably get him, I like Barricade a lot.

by **OptiMegaPrime** » Sat Jun 16, 2007 7:45 pm

Some of these new characters are also in the 3D card set. Toys I know are coming out are Arcee, Dreadwing, Payload, Final Battle Jazz, Final Battle Barricade, Longarm, Dropkick, and a different Bumblebee. It would cool if they make toys for all the charaters from the cards and video game. Does anyone know if there doing that? Other charcters in card game include, Cliffjumper, Evac, Jetfire, Mirage, Smokescreen, Swerve, Thundercracker, Protoform Bumblebee, Protoform Starscream. They can all be seen here http://wizards.com/transformers/

Thank you! I'm sort of embarrased at how many people didn't catch onto that, it's porbably just a mistranslation from the Asian boards.

Dropkick is cool though, anyone notice the all the decals on the entire hood and roof of the truck form a giant Decepticon symbol?

Wicked, eh?

Okay, FOUR OF US HAVE POINTED THIS OUT NOW! CrossSell is NOT one of the guys on the cardback! CrossSell is the name for the "Also Available" section! THE CHEAT IS BEHIND THE FREAKIN' BOX! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR DOGS!

what is Mirage supposed to be? Same question for Smokescreen. The more movie-inspired toy goodness, the better. Hopefully not just Deluxe, but in Voyagers too.

This is great!!!

Heh, well, I have to admit, I was sorely tempted to leave a slightly scathing response to the lack of sensibility that came out of those posts. Hell I had even posted it, but then thought better of it. No point in hurting someone's feelings, getting in trouble, causing a flame war in a relatively calm thread.

And damn Hasbro (and Activision). Damn them both for making figures I'm starting to want. I almost caved and bought Swindle...and I promised myself...nothing but the cast only.

...and wouldn't you know it? Dropkick, Longarm, Payload, Swindle...all look nice. Really, really nice.

Grr...CURSES! FOILED AGAIN!

by **Valandar** » Sun Jun 17, 2007 4:49 am

Hrms. LOTS of Deluxes this time, seems to be Hasbro's newest favorite figure size (compared to the scads of Basics up 'till now). I like it, almost like Ironhide's younger, evil brother.
