TF08.net has new images from the Voyager Class Megatron cross sell at the side of the box. The side of the box shows both The Fallen and Mixmaster in robot mode.

I'm slightly tempted to get all the Constructicons, if for no other reason than I can. But I'm sure that urge will subside once I see them in person.

Shocking, his robot mode sucks...

(edit: I was referring to Mixmaster, but saying the same about Megs probably isn't the world's biggest stretch either.)

well properly transformed i like the legs better on this one that the leader's but i like everything else about the leader class more. And I must say that MixMaster looks terrible. :roll:

Honestly now. I had hope for the rest of the ROTF line but the crappy designs are just ruining it for me. The movie better kick ass and at the very least I will save a tonne of money as I will not be buying 95% of the ROTF line. Better for my pocket/cheque book.

I think the "Bay-Formers" look Great on the Big Screen; that's what we're going for, right? The Decepticons are definitely more "Monstrous" and "Alien" that the Autobots, for sure. It helps them distingush Bad guys from Good guys I guess...

Mixmaster is no exception. While he's certainly weird looking, I don't think he looks any worse than say, Voyager-class Starscream from the last movie.

I think Devastator will blow us all away when we see the transformation happen in Live(CGI) Action. I know my nephew's gonna FREAK OUT. And I will too, right beside him.

Back to the Point, Mix Master's weird lookin. At least he has Feet and Arms, tho...
B-)

The alt. mode looked so cool with the Motormaster colors, and now this... :sad:

BTW, the silver Decepticon symbol I can tolerate, but now they are freakin' red??? I thought that were exclusive to Shattered Glass... :roll:

I'm actually kind of glad that most of these toys aren't doing it for me... I've gotta be in a 'save money' mode, anyway, and so far, the only toys I'm really looking forward to from the movie like are Sideswipe, and perhaps some of the Scouts. Prime & Jetfire might be in the mix as well, but only if their combined form is epic.

It's too bad that all we're gonna see for the rest of the year is Movieverse stuff... Universe is basically done until 2010, and Animated is rumored to be going the way of the dodo before too long.

So most of the Constructicons look like apes.......well thats just prime. So far the only worth while one is Long Haul. The only thing that could save what ever that is is if it has a kick ass transformation. But i doubt it. Maybe this is hasbros way of letting us save some money in these hard times of recession. They make every 3 out of 5 figures suck so we wont want to buy them thus saving us some greenbacks. Cant believe im going to say this but........im gonna miss animated.

And there are so many fans who don't like Michael Bay and Hasbro... See? They're our friends! They think about us! Why? Because they seem to have thought something like "These people spend so much money on Transformers. We can't let this happen, we're going to help them save more money this year". So, thanks to them we are all going to save a lot of money this year! Isn't it great?

Anyway, despite all the irony above, I have faith that the movie will be great and the transformers will look great in it

hasbro our freinds ha dont make laugh if hasbro was our freind they wouldnt dodge our questions sometimes & just give us straight forward ansewers with a proper movie devastator ( i know your being sarcastic )

personlay i still think someon like tf08, transfans or other transformers fan creations might be able to find a way to make moveie deluxe/ voyager figures combine to form into devastor in due time i still think its possible.

Reminds me of the Bonecrusher toy with some remolding done.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

He really does resemble Bonecrusher. But I thought Bonecrusher was a deluxe and Mixmaster is a Voyager.

I would love a Voyager Bonecrusher. The Deluxe was too small. Maybe Mixmaster will be repainted.

Despite Uni-cycle bot and Wheelie, I am still looking forward to the Movie.

Cube Shrinking and TF aesthetic aside, the last one was great.

Oh, please. Hasbro is insanely fan-oriented. If you don't believe it, go read Universe Hot Shot's bio. That's real devotion.

What people on the internet don't seem to understand is that if companies simply only listened to the fans instead of paving their own path once in a while, we'd never get things like Beast Wars or Animated. It'd be all G1 homages all the time.

I didn't really agree with the other guy's point initially, but you just talked me into to it with your counterpoint. Ha!

Looks more like Bonecrusher than Bonecrusher looked like Bonecrusher. x: Why is every constructicon, but Scavenger, Bonecrusher? D: Are they twin brothers or something?

I wish he was a deluxe. As a voyager he'll look too big next to the other Constructicons we've seen.

Plus I really can't spare the $$$ or the space for Voyagers.

Inferno would be an exception if I could ever find him, but otherwise, I probably shouldn't get many figures bigger than a deluxe.

Heck, I passed up a $30 Animated Ultra Magnus last night...
