Did anyone notice that they have listed the main movie charcters as both Voyager and Deluxe sized figures? Is that true?

Yep, we learned about that a while back http://www.seibertron.com/forums/viewto ... cd26c9226b.

It's going to be tricky picking out the figures that best correspond to one another in terms of scale I think.

Is it me, or does Prime's robot mode look like a 4th of July decoration?

I may be tempted to pick up that Leader Prime. He looks absolutely amazing. Ultmate Bumblebee also catches my interest. He looks to be like an Alternator. I have no idea on the size, but I'll have to pick him up also.

12-14 inchs(i forget what it is exactly) tall in bot mode, 1/14th scale in alt mode.

This is going to be one hell of a slow year for good toys. I'm skipping this movie crap, and role play toys and the robotic potatoes. Bring on more Classics and 6 inch Titaniums!

Awesome isn't it? Slightly taller than Primus with an alt mode around a foot long as well. Huge and articulated are the biggest things to me. From what I can see he seems to fit the bill.

D'oh!

I deserve the slings and arrows for that one. :oops:

I'm sitting on the fence over Ultimate Bumblebee. I like the over all esthetics of it, but there is something that doesn't quite apeal to me. Maybe it's the face, I don't really know. It's starting to bug me actually :-?

Ultimate BumbleBee seems to be way better than MP Prime!

At the same cost I feel alittle ripped off here

Ultimate Bumblebee sounds really cool. Of course they could not make his arm transform into a gun because it's not feasible in real life... ...without lots of sliding moving parts that would make this WAY too expensive (more than it is now!).

Movie Prime to looks okay. And I think he looks a bit more 'cube like' than square, as it is a 3-d toy not a 2-d drawing.

Did anyone else notice that the truck mode has 'eyelids'? He'll fit in perfectly with 'Cars' (TM Disney/Pixar) characters! My nephews will flip!

The Blaster rig is a cool toy too. Can't wait to see what 'barrel roll' Starscream is like.

*sighs* Is that it? That's all they're showing this year? Please tell me there's more in store than just this. I mean we've already seen all of this.

If (and I mean if) this is it, then this is quite possibly the worst year in recent Toy Fair history for showing off TF product. A few years past have been barren, but this is extreme.

*sighs* At least RiD kicked the **** out of the 'Fair when it debuted, and so did Armada.

I really hope tomorrow shows us something more than this...I looked forward to...nothing. =\

Prime's fantastic, and Bumblebee is a must own. I'll blow $100.00 bucks on him, he is worth that much to me. He looks fantastic, and he's a *TRUE* Masterpiece.

oh no no no no no! why does Bumblebee have to look so cool...and be so expensive...I guess I'll just ask for it for my Birthday in July...

Any one else going to paint the barrel on the OP BRBlaster black? The orange doesn't really do it for me.

I'm just glad to hear we're getting a 2008 Camaro Bumblebee as well. :-D

TFW2005 has a crapload of info on new products and the TF game.

by **JEDI ALCHEMIST** » Sat Feb 10, 2007 7:37 pm

ya know reading the info on ultimate BumbleBee, one part says: with speech. that must mean he talks in the film? Interesting huh?

by **AbsumZer0** » Sat Feb 10, 2007 7:56 pm

Figures.com has their Hasbro galleries up now. Nothing TF movie related that wasn't in the press release but they've got new pictures of the Star Wars TFs up including Darth Vader/Death Star and a packaged Emperor Palpatine/Imperial Shuttle.

EDIT: Nevermind the last part. I don't keep track of the Star Wars stuff so I thought the Emperor was new.
