And when can we get real confirmation on other toys to come. Like existing figures in different classes.

I can't wait for a bigger brawl... I'd love a bigger blackout and a bigger starscream.

Not soon enough.

I'd rather see a Voyager Brawl, Bonecrusher, and BB than another $35-$40 Leader class. My wallet can only take so much.

I love tanks so Leader Class Brawl is as good as bought, I look forward to some new pics and a release date coming out.

I'm really hoping that Leader Brawl will be wicked cool. I have high hopes, hopefully they wont be dashed like those hopes I had for Leader OP and Megs.
I NEED a Leader Blackout. I can't go on without you... :sad:

Leader Brawl, yes

Leader Starscream and Blackout, no....

I want Supremes! :grin:

I have to agree. Blackout got shortchanged as a Voyager.

he is SUPPOSED to be the "Largest of the Decepticons", after all.

*cough* Scorponok needs a Supreme Class figure also. *cough*

Also you forgot to mention that blackout is supposed to be megatron inforcer. Much the way ironhide is for prime.

No leaked images of these, no leaked images of BotCon attendee figs...

Could they maybe actually clamping down on product walking out of the factories early?

I'm sure we'll all see the good stuff come Botcon.

I needs me a Voyager (at least) Bonecrusher - he's too awesome to be stuck a deluxe figure.

Im surprised that they are making a leader class Brawl, maybe it is to make up for Deluxe Brawl and his arm issues.

Voyager would have been better for him, and Bonecrusher would have benefited from a voyager class mold too, he looks so tiny and flimsy in his Deluxe size.

I thought Starscream may have been given a Leader Class figure, just to try and cash in on the popularity of the name, Leader Class figures do not sell as well as other size classes, so the fewer toys made in that size, the better for Hasbro.

I dream of a Leader class Starscream.

Leader Class Blackout would be awesome. I've already championed his cause in other topics. Leader Class Ironhide wouldn't offend me either... and I NEED that Shockwave from the game immortalized in plastic, somehow. Brawl... I'm looking forward to as an LC. I think it'll be an awesome figure. I am curious about the picture we have seen, though, as I wonder how accurate a depiction that was(it didn't seem terribly different from DC Brawl).

And heck, here's a thought on leaks... for everything we're seeing on the movie, the new TF series is rumored to be started in the fall, and there's NOTHING. No designs, no toy prototypes, no plot or extensive character listings. Either someone's doing a better job, or they're managing to keep it under the radar with the movie coming out.

The more I think about it, the more I worry about the movie line...

It looks like Hasbro is gonna try to stretch this thing well into the winter/Xmas season, I don't know how good of an idea that is.

Look at Leader Brawl, we've seen next to nothing of him aside from the pic on the Ultimate BB box, which means he'll probably be out no sooner than August.

That could either mean he's one of the last figures of the line, or the new toys we haven't seen listings for yet will come out AFTER the Leader-class Brawl, which would end up in September/October, quite some time after the movie... will people still be interested enough in it?

I mean, come October are you gonna buy your kid a 70$ toy of a character from a movie that isn't even playing in theatres anymore and that won't come out on DVD for another several months?

Leader class brawl is set to come out in September, early October, the movie will also have a substantial revival by then due to the pending DVD release..so the toy tie-ins will be crucial at that point to also keep on wit the momentum.. its been done over and over and over again and again with plenty of movie blockbusters.. hold some back to wait and coincide with the DVD releases..

everything that has been released and possibly a few new ones and exclusives will show up at X-mas..
