That ice cream truck form is overflowing with soft-serve WIN!!!!! I can honestly say that that has to be the one set of this whole line I want the most.. I remember seeing pictures of that ice cream truck on the set of ROTF and I thought it was a joke. Bay kept alot of vehicles on the set just to mess with people so I thought this was a no brainer. then I saw some of the early pics of the twins and I knew I has to have demZ!!! :grin:

I shall be passing on this kibblefest. I bet they're really fiddly to get into van mode.

The Alt mode is fun and sort of cute but people havent commented on the fact the the robot modes are quite dire.

When are they to be released they look cool

This reminds me of a scene from Family Guy, where Peter and Chris tried to sneak into a fair while wearing a horse costume.

While I think the alt mode is neat, and definetly different...I want to see how this came about in the movie. They change their alt modes later, right? This is also the same SKidz and Mudflap twins that look like compact cars, right?

Yeah, I'm gonna pick these two up in this form. Might get two sets of them. I'm thinking a Sweet Tooth version from Twisted Metal...

Kibble and bits. Kibble and bits. Bay has given us more kibble and bits.

The alt mode looked full of promise... but the bot modes suck so badly, there's no point in getting this at all. These kibblebots manage to make the twins look even worse than their updated movie bot modes which seemed impossible to do. What a shame.

A) Kibble has been part of the TF line since G1.
B) Michael Bay doesn't design the toys himself.

I reeeeeeally don't get this one. I mean you have to figure the ice cream truck is for a gag to last all of a couple of minutes onscreen before they get their own alt modes, and they decide to take up a production spot by making a toy for it? No, wait, let me rephrase; They decided to take up a production spot by making THAT toy for it? There's only so much kibble one can handle, which stinks since Hasbro seems to think as the years go by they can get away with more and more of it on some figures. It looks just a step above a kid's meal toy really.

*sigh*

I'm never going to get a red movie Ironhide, am I.

Not bad at all for a deluxe, value pack.

They want to get out as many different toys as possible, just because the more they get out, the more money they make!
Personally, i think these are great, amusing and funny little toys!

I'm always prepared to embrace the sillier side of Transformers, but I'm on the borderline about these guys.

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 10:29 am

I'll be getting this, it shall be my only pink TF toy.
And if they make a Decepticon repaint, I'll take that too!

Why's there an extra-uber-shiny Sideswipe with them? Is that a kitbash of something else? :wink:

Oh goodness, I don't even WANT to know what THAT truck would be selling...

And are you saying you do not have, nor will ever have, a G1-ish Arcee figure?

extra-uber-shiny? The retail version is shinier than that. It looks like it was repainted with a darker metallic finish.

God thats horrible. This is a major pass for me. Every thing about the figure just sucks. I do like the micromaster concept they used but this figure is just to ugly to buy.

It would be cool if Hasbro made them combine in robot mode, just like energon powerlink.

Exactly. It really pisses me off that people immediatley blame Bay for everything. Like the script. People blame Bay for it, but it was Orci and Kurtzman wrote it, not Bay. Bay also does not design the robots. That's Hasbro. Bay doesn't create the characters. That's Kurtzman and Orci with input from Hasbro. All Bay does is direct. I'm sick of people seeing something different about the movie and being all, "OHZ NOES MIKEL BAY RAPED MA CHALDHUD!!!!1! Get it straight people.

Nope I don't and I doupt there ever will be one, and the TFA Arcee looks like it'll be more redish then pink.
