So ravage isn't a chicken?

I think Blaze Master might be the only ROTF fig I'd buy

so ravage's alt mode is just a protoform meteor. oh well, its still wicked badass

Hmmm, Blaze Master alt is quite good! Icecream van is absolute WIN, that's a unique combiner if ever there was one.
Jetfire's kibble on the alt is absolutely terrible. That's the worst stealth plane (Blackbird SR-71) I've ever seen. Ravage seems to be this movie's Scorponok... I'll pass on him as well.

OMFG...ther is no way a Decepticon will be able to land a shot on that Ice Cream Truck! They'll be laughing too hard to hold their guns steady. It's like someone put an Autobot logo on those toy cars you get at Chevron Stations.
Hasbro gives us these BS figures for TF2 but they wouldn't make a full production Mt. Dew bot for us?????:-x

I never thought I would get to the point of wanting to turn on Hasbro but dammit somebody has to get through to these people. The fans are being flat insulted and ignored here. I'm not even excited about Ravage or Sideswipe anymore.
I'm not buying a single one of these plastic dogpiles from this new movie line. This whole line is a farce.

<Sigh> So much Negativity. The important thing is that 5 and 6 year-olds dig this; there's a lot more of them than there are of US, and they're the Target audience. I showed my 4 year old nephew(who's birthday is on June 26, I might add) these pics and he started freaking out! Of course, he'll never be able to handle anything Leader or even Voayeger-class, But he'll be able to work with the likes of Ravage and the Twins. Jetfire will be sweet; can't wait to combine him with Prime. Arcee's a bit weird but, you win some, you lose some.

I'm just glad we're getting another awesome summer Blockbuster based on our favorite alien robots. When we go to see this movie, Each and every one of us will proceed directly to a toy store and start buying these figures up. I'd bet real money on it.

Well gee by the looks of the pics we got yesterday and these we can say that Ravage is a TRIPLE CHANGER!

Robot Leopard

Robot Meteor and... wait for it... wait for it.

ROBOT CHICKEN! BWUK BUK GUK!

Course if you can make him essnetially a robot chicken, then Ravage can be both Ravage AND Laserbeak/Buzzsaw (by the looks of those spikes Buzzsaw would be more apt)

Jetfire looks kinda interesting, but with those headspikes, kinda reminds me of Murder Inc. from the old late 80s/early 90s Marvel Comics. A guy that could take limbs and body parts from dead people and use their attributes. But he had those spikey head spikes.

hey astrobard where did you find those? were there any pics of the robot mode of swere? im curious to see if the head is remolded.

I wouldn't bet on it. Movie still looks terrible. Toys look worse. It's gonna be another year of non-purchases. Again with the charmless designs and lame cyber-punk details.

How about a robot with a face that doesn't include monster teeth or Jar Jar eyes?

I guarantee that every character will be paper thin and the the filmmaker's disdain for the property will only sharpen as more info on the film is "revealed."

Characters will do slightly better in that they'll have three of four lines each this time- only so they can explain the convoluted plot.

Lame across the board. Saw the toys on the shelf already- they look small, cheap and ugly. Not buying a single bit of merch for this.

Blaze Master looks awesome.

Ravage is cool, even though I'm not crazy about that alt mode shown there.

I like the Ice Cream truck!

WTF is that attached to Arcee? Is that supposed to be a side car, and if so, is it for midgets only?

Jetfire has the same problem as Universe Silverbolt: it's a robot attached to a plane, not a robot that transforms into a plane.

UPDATE:
Dead End:


Swerve:


Jolt:

I WILL own that Ice Cream truck. It is just too adorable to resist. Plus, it is two TFs in one.

The paintjob on dead end looks awesome, i'd buy it and leave it in vehicle mode.

Yeah I agree with you, I'm not fooled by the choice cuts and the Trailer music into believing its more than it is, an epic farce. I had the same feeling before the first movie and I called it correctly this time Twitter will be the new Ebay.

Too bad it won't look THAT good in real life. Still, these do look good.

have to admit blaze master looks good.

even the colour scheme is a nod in the direction of the original (micromaster)

heres hoping his personality the same as like blades he was a bit of a psycho who'd fit better with the deceps than the bots (only he can actually incenerate them as well as hack em up

i hope hes actualy in the film instead of just being a toy.

cant believe the ice cream truck is on the level though , i can only hope bay keeps the cheese to the minimum

Ravage is pretty nice, alt mode or no alt mode. I may get him and Voy. Megatron-and that's it.

The twins combiner is creative, I'll give them that. I'm sure Bay and Co. are pissed that this cat's officially out of the bag now. I bet they wanted more than anything for that to be a surprise.

I also think it's pretty bad that we're already getting the repaints and that in both cases, they look better than the original, IMO.

It seems to be that some of these ROTF toys sacrifice too much on bot modes.

thanks for posting those mkall. dead end looks awesome(way better than sideways) and even though i like the head on swerve, i think it would have been easier for me to call him sideswipe if he had the same head as the silver one.

I need swerve

Oh no chicken mode for ravage? Now that i see Swerves Robot mode i like it even more. Defiantly renaming him Sideswipe and calling the current Swipe Sunstreaker. Least we're getting some remolds right off the bat with the repaints. These need to get here fast. I have nothing to buy.

Ice cream truck looks good, it just looks like it aughta be animated, instead of ROTF.

Really? Nobody else sees it...Megatron's cannon arm? I have been putting this out for months.

I seriously cannot wait to get jolt and the twins. This line just keeps getting better and better
