I knew I saw that alt mode somewhere.

Dead-End (or Lazerbeak) looks pretty nice. I'm glad that the Scout class is getting new molds for TF2, But I don't know if i will buy any.

OMG...that car is GORGEOUS! What's it run? $200K?

I like the figure...I wonder if this is going to be one of those not-in-movie figures. I'd say likely because there were no reports of this BEAUTIFUL car being on set at any time.

As for names, I'm betting this one is a new name. Just a hunch.

Peugeot? I thought he was a flying-type pokemon that evolved from Peugeotto. Are we getting a Pokemon/Transformers Crossover?

I thought the same thing. Rumble.

It's red. Clearly it would be Frenzy.

Anyone else think these toys are fuglier than the ones from the first film?

Come on Primal, quit giving the powers that be ideas.

Although Pokemon TF's would bring a whole new appreciation to Arena Battle in HMW.

On second thought.......no.

In the cartoon, Rumble = blue
The toy, Rumble = red

Propoganda spread by fools. Rumble is blue. Now, let us move onto the fugliness issue. Seriously, wtf?

Reminds me of Armada Blurr in alt mode, and is pretty darn fugly. Guess it could belong to the movie line then!

Soundwave IS a deluxe; I've handled the actual toy.

I heard rumors that Ravage and/or Laserbeak were actually missiles for Soundwave. This looks more like an Animated figure, that vehicle mode is way too deformed and cutesy to be a movie toy.

I've never seen a transformer toy I didn't like and this is no exception I love it.

The last movie scout line (with the exception of store exclusives) was the "Real Gear" toys. I think a Scout class that actually fit in with the rest of the movie line would be great.

I think that toy looks pretty good--the cartoony alt-mode is a real life cartoony car it seems.

While I'm out on most movie toys, this one looks pretty freaking awesome.

Oops, already posted by someone.

That looks very cool. Nice and sleek.

Tue Dec 09, 2008 12:25 pm

Looks damn cool. I'll be getting this one for sure.

I know Bay has taken some liberties with alt modes, but I'm pretty sure he's not dumb enough to make Laserbeak into a car that transforms into a humanoid robot.

Tue Dec 09, 2008 2:56 pm

maybe it's a remote control car that is laserbeak !!!
i know it sounds stupid but you never know the only reason i thought of that is because it's a scout class.........maybe just maybe???
