Bludgeon looks SICK.. I wish he had his pretender shell.. But In all honesty (IMHO) his bot mode kicks ass (so far)..

Same here, most of these toys are almost must-buys for me. A few I'm not big on, but most of them are awesome. Funny how SDCC has more cool stuff revealed than Botcon. :p

I'm also not sure about the Deluxe Movie Ratchet. While it looks pretty cool, I also already have the Voyager one (in 2 decos even), so this will have to be REALLY awesome to warrant a purchase.

Tformers' coverage of the session,

Ah so the third Acree bike is called Flareup. Huh. Interesting name. I wish someone would have asked about a Scrapper and/or Overload Voyager or deluxe. Or at least a better Grindor..

Lots of cool new stuff. I love that they took my idea of the military reaper drone and used it. About time. I will probably get most of these ROTF figures. I need clearer pictures though. I don't bother with Animated, but Blackout looks awesome.
Human Alliance Barricade I will buy as soon as I see him. Awesome.
Lots of cool stuff coming out in the next few months.

That Bludgeon is a movie toy I might just have to buy, especially if they made his head reminiscent of a skull. In fact, I'll buy it anyway because I'm sure some company will make an upgrade kit for that.

HINT HINT: I SAID I'M SURE SOME COMPANY WILL MAKE AN UPGRADE KIT FOR THAT!!!

TFW2005 now has a gallery of all the pics they took at the panel.

Thu Jul 23, 2009 5:54 pm

OH YEAH!!!! THE PRIME JETS ARE UP!!!!!!!!!

Thu Jul 23, 2009 6:02 pm

Damn, Brakedown is so SEXY (in the correct way), I'll probably have to buy Wasp because Waspinator hasn't been released yet in country (he is not even remolded!!), add Animated Ironhide to the must buy list along with the ones from Animated we were already expecting.
I like Goldfire Grimlock, don't ask me why, or ask me, I don't care.

WAIT!!!! WHERE'S TOXIC OIL SLICK!!!!?? :-(

Wow, these expanded movieverse figures are getting my attention in a big way, really digging Lockdown. Also, with Bludgeon and Mindwipe, I wonder if there's a possibility of a movie style Bugly to complete the three followers The Fallen had in War Within...

Jungle Attack Ironhide looks like the freaking boss.

Thu Jul 23, 2009 6:20 pm

Pure awesomeness! Wow! Well, money will be flying out of my wallet for those.

News Credits: 8 · Thu Jul 23, 2009 6:33 pm

Wow Bludgeon is just pure awesome. Cant wait to get it. A new Lockdown, HA Barricade, Mindwipe, Brawn my god im gonna need to open a credit card for all these figures. Out of all the ones shown the only 2 i didnt like were Prime and Blackout. Hope we'll see more pics. Want to see what legend Soundwave looks like.

Edit: I totally called it when I said the third Arcce wouldn't have the combiner instructions.

News Credits: 1 · Thu Jul 23, 2009 7:15 pm

Loving Bludgeon, the new Scouts, Deluxe Ratchet and that new Dirge... I love's me so Dirge.

These pictures please me greatly.

Thu Jul 23, 2009 7:25 pm

And I kept telling myself to never get any more Animated figures - my will is strained. As for the movie toys - Bludgeon! Lockdown! HA Barricade! RAMBOHIDE!!! And more!

This is the best morning ever.

Edit: They actually went ahead and did a human alliance MUDFLAP!? Argh.

Meh to Legends Wheelie and Soundwave
Legends Jolt looks interesting at least as a protoform. Arcee looks far more poseable, but still not interested
Brakedown looks very cool, though I'll wait to see pics of the figure itself before comitting to buy.
Skystalker looks too ROTF for my liking, nice altmode though
Scattorshot looks neat, but too much like Animated Sentinal. Also too ROTF
Why did they want to make a deluxe sized ROTF Ratchet? He's got a voyager already.
I think I must be the only one who thinks ROTF Lockdown looks like crap.
Dirge is a neat idea, and if I were into ROTF, i'd get it. But I'm not, so I won't
Brawl looks damn cool, but I already have the henkei minibot version. I'll decide when I see more pics of him.
Jungle Attack Ironhide: Still not red...
I want Bludgeon for sure. I'm not too certain about that head sculpt, but it's a nice effort to merge his pretender self and his "inner" self
Mindwipe reminds me of a Cylon. I may get him too, we'll see
Human Allicance Figures: Don't collect em so I don't really care

I don't have interests in Animated, Titaniums, Masterpiece or G1 Figs, so I don't need any of those.

And my thoughts on those

Thu Jul 23, 2009 8:05 pm

Well like I said before
The Animated show and toys were and still are crap. Don't like the "kiddie" looking designs, so the Animated toys shown are a pass. Why I even bought those earlier toys is my guess as is anyone else's.

The Movie figs are SWEET!!! Especially HA Barricade Bludgeon, ohhhh baby! So there is goining to be a HA Mudflap eh? hrmmmm Inter-resting. :-?

Thu Jul 23, 2009 8:56 pm

HOLY CRAP!!!!!

Scattorshot looks awesome.

Jungle ironhide, meh

I WANT THAT HA BARRICADE!!!!!!!!!!! :grin:

and wasp too!

But why the heck does blackout look like the movie one in helicopter mode? :???:

Mindewipe has earned a spot on my shelf.

Thu Jul 23, 2009 9:11 pm

MY WALLET CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS NOW!!!

Thu Jul 23, 2009 10:13 pm

Whats with the confusion on the bike sisters with the HA figures? Skids comes with a red Chromia called Arcee, and Mudflap has an Arcee, that will probably be blue and they call it Chromia.

Thu Jul 23, 2009 10:43 pm

Seriously, everyone that's complaining bout their wallets......I feel ya :BANG_HEAD:

I saw these & I have to get'em all. Damn you Hasbro!

Deluxe movie Ratchet???? Interesting... looks good too. I like movie Lockdown too but I wish his alt mode would have been a bit more realistic, less animated.

I'm liking Bludgeon and Brawn a lot, might have to pick those up. The rest are nice but I don't have the $ and space for them.

Looks like they went and killed two flies with TFA Wingblade Prime. The Deluxe earth-mode Prime mold without battle damage and upgrades for the Voyager Prime mold. I mean look at it, the armour is out of proportion with the Prime it comes with.

Fri Jul 24, 2009 3:22 am

Almost all the ROTF figures there looked great, I'm particularly happy about Jungle Ironhide, since I didn't buy any of the 2007 line, and the existing ROTF Ironhide looks awful...

Fri Jul 24, 2009 3:29 am

I dont see any jungle attack ironhide picture ??

Fri Jul 24, 2009 4:00 am

Bludgeon (A samurai robot mode!?), Mindwipe (a high tech F-117 alt mode/ Ninja-like robot mode!!!!), and Dirge will be on my list, and i hope all three will be decepticons. I will feel bad if even ONE of them is an autobot, since their looks would be more appropriate for evil, not good. I might get skystalker if those weapons in his hands turn out to be hand held axes when a sharper image shows up.
