wow , very nice , a new Dark of the Moon Toys, geez , i will get all that toys when i see on store. hasbro will broke me this year lol . nice lol

They couldn't get a voyager SS right so now they are gonna try a deluxe? Not real excited for any of them.

Well from the looks of this I’d have to say: amazing spectacular transformers
Leader class Sentinel Prime’s probably that fire truck that we saw in the windy city
Voyager class Optimus Prime’s kibble from that image last month must go inside the trailer
Voyager class “new villain” more then likely shockwave or another version of some random tanker truck
Deluxe class Road Buster = wreckers well that’s what I think
Deluxe class Starscream holy primus this is going to be so cool
Deluxe class megatron I wonder what that will look like normal movie meg's or some random tanker truck



and let's hope all the other bots are new mold's

Deluxe Megatron and Starscream?! This should be interesting!! Then all we'd need is Deluxe Shockwave and Optimus!

I just hope, that Optimus Prime with Trailer isn't gonna be just Movie Voyager with a trailer. The Voyagers i've seen just have that darn backpack! It slould not have just it's trailer: It should also have it's weapons - blades, Ion blaster* and the dual blasters.

* Ion blaster could just be like action-figure guns are: Removable or hand-held. Something like 2007 Movie Deluxe Bumblebee (Camaro Concept) had it's plasma cannon/blade

I want to be excited but I'm hoping the bot in the trailer isn't Sentinel Prime. I've liked the other incarnations of Sentinel but I really dislike TF's with facial hair. Just looks silly so I'm hoping it's not him. But then the Einstein looking bot is really putting me off the film anyway.

As for Bumblebee, there's one size class he hasn't been released in. Scout class, the one size I would like to get him in. I wish they'd stop making those crap little Legends and give us more Scouts.

lol come to think of it scout class would be perfect for movie bb, it would be the first* i own.

but yeah, about the new releases, im not really excited for any of them, save for maybe sentinel prime, but ill have to see what he looks like. im actually pretty happy with just my ROTF prime and HA's, and i see no reason to expand my movie collection beyond that.

if shockwave ends up looking rather G1ish i may have to pick him up, but if not, ill just wait until one is inevitably released in a classics style.

i for one am glad this is the last hurrah for the movie franchise, as much good it has done for transformers awareness and expansion of the toy lines and merchandise in general, the scourge of movie bb is too big an evil to justify the positives. sorry movie fans, no hard feelings, k?

*second, i forgot i have HA Bee

Guys, I don't know if this has been brought up yet, but anybody remember the retools of Terradive and Tomahawk? I just had a thought, maybe they could be Air Ride and the Military Helicopter in the listing?.

I doubt it. The first few batches of TFs would *logically* be characters in the movie or at least intended to be in it (like Depth Charge, Breakaway, Springer, Ransack, etc.).

And I just noticed the Military Copter was a Voyager. Bleh.

what i just realized, some people are having issues with. How the fallen said that optimus was the last prime. When you think about it, if that is sentinal in the arc in the trailer, hes been offline for who knows how long meaning the fallen didnt know where he was. I think thats the most logical loop hole bay to go through.

yup. Said that earlier and was summarily ignored.

How about we go and see the actual finished movie before saying it has plot holes.

Oh no the third movie's going to be a loophole disaster because we've all seen it already. Aaaaaaaahhhh. Help.
Some of us have proposed that the Fallen only assumed every other Prime was actually dead, but Optimus was the only one that was capable of defeating the Fallen. It is most likely that the Fallen and the Decepticons were able to successfully bring down the Ark, and the Fallen just assumed the impact would kill all on board. Sentinel Prime may not have been injured enough to the point of fatality, but enough to enter a stasis lock (like a coma or computer sleep mode). So now he could possibly be coming out of the stasis lock.

ummm you guys do know the teaser trailer takes place in 1969...so clearly sentinel prime has been awake for 42 years by now. what did he do the whole time that the fallen never recognized he was functional?

I don't know...hmmm...well, they are robots on disguise...so maybe he, oh, I don't know, HID? Or maybe Sentinel temporarily awakened then deactivated again?

You were not ignored, First-Aid. I was paying attention and I think I even made some grumpy counter argument against the theory, but whatever the course of action it's all just conjecture on the part of all of us anyways. We'll collectively tear the movie apart on opening day and individually degrade and demean the toy product line until then.

That being said...give us a #$@%& picture of Prime's trailer already!!!!! C'mon Hasbro, we know you have one...cough it up!!

really you need a pictue of a trailer? its a rectangle. probably grey or blue or both...the end.

Now the real question. Come on hasbro show us what the hell the trailer does! im not spending money for something that will just sit there if prime is in robot mode.

I had thought the same, but...
He may actually be awakening in the present time in the movie universe. Just because they showed him awakening in the trailer at the lunar landing doesn't mean he awakens at the same time in the movie. All we can clearly conclude is that the astronauts discovered the Ark and that Sentinel awakens.

"Reaching" is something that has always been present in the Transformers universe, going back all the way to Mass Shifting in G1. But it seems like the stretching is more easily excepted when it is supported by good stories/characters/acting/directing. I can tell you will fiercely defend these movies, but certainly you can see why a lot of fans are disappointed. Especially when the only reprieve is eloquently designed figures. The DOTM line has yet to offer much in the form of compensation.
