man i really hope they have a special edition pre-order figure or some thing like that id love it

I just hope it's not store-exclusive or online/pre-order business. Hopefully it'll just be at Wal-Mart as a regular toy line

... *panics* Im REALLY not sure how i feel about it.

a few figs in the universe line was what i was expecting but now a whole line? ... WOW


honestly im not a big fan of the optimus toy so im kind of panicking until i see more figures.

if they arnt too good then they're just taking up molds that could be used for better stuff.

im probably judging WAY too early tho. i admit, im REALLY looking forward to seeing some seekers for this line as well as omegasupreme and trypticon (if they get a mold)

and of course i would NEVER turndown an excuse for an epic cybertronian soundwave XD

OMFG CANT WAIT!!!!!! i want them all!!!!!!

I can't wait to see the BB figure.He looked great in the game trailers...
I wonder..will we get a Trypticon figure?..ultimate class maybe?

I just need Decepticons, don't care about Autobots. TRYPTICON!!

prime B'bee, mes and Soundwave are the toys.

Possible voyagers of prime rachet and seaspray

oh yes forgot drift is in that assortment too.

I hope theres a preorder figure that would be awesome. Right now im wondering what line will these fall under, will it be its own line or will it be under universe? And they better not be store exclusives.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMGEEE!

This is going to be awesome!!!
There has never been a tf toyline based on a TF game! Games tend to have more cool & brute designs then cartoonlines.
Really hope it will be a succes so that the line will have plenty of figures. I do think Hasbro is taking a risk, a game isn't
on tv for everyone once a week. And that's the primary promotion of a toyline.

I iz really happy!

I can't wait for the game to come out. If that OP figure is indicative of this new toyline, I think I am going to be sorely disappointed.
That alt mode looks like poo. I can only hope that his bot mode makes up for the look of that vehicle.

i cannot wait!
the characters look friggin amazing in this game!
i hope the toys r just as close as they look in the game!
im gonna be spending alot of money this year lol

Omega Supreme and Trypticon.

Make it so Hasbor, Make it so.

Most likely see Bots : Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Ratchet.
Deluxe and Legends size for sure on Prime.
Cons : Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream( and most likely several repaints of Starscream).
Maybe an Onslaught..

Sounds limited enough...Smallest line to date only has 12 toys I think..? It is america though.. XS~!!

I think that the smallest american Transformers line was the Kaybee exclusive Machine Wars line. It has 12 so and only 7 of them were new molds. The others were repaints of the new molds that must be the one you're thinking of. Would Kiss Players be considered the smallest japanese line?

Even if you take the girls out if the equation, there are 10 Kiss Player figures (Autrooper, WST Autrooper, Convoy, Hot Rodimus, the eggbots and the cassettes). Alternity is currently smaller, and depending on how technical you want to get, the Nikeformers etc. Are even smaller than that.

If they don't make Soundwave.....I shall release Ravage.....

I would say Transformers Hybrid Style is the smallest Japanese toyline, it has 2 main toys and an ehobby exclusive repaint of the second one and it's still the same character just in black.

I have to admit I am liking how the transformers look in the new game and the fact that a new line of toys will be coming out based on it is good news, however I think we need to see some more pictures before we get ahead of our selves.

I forgot all about Hybrid Style, I wouldn't count Alternity because it's ongoing and we know will be getting more characters/molds, Sports/Device/Music/Disney Label I didn't count because I don't really consider them a line, just more of an advertising campaign.

I'd count Label as a line .... but just one line. So Soundwave, Blaster, Mickey ... all in one Label line, in my book.

That one subline in Binaltech, Asterix, was pretty short. Looking it up seems to reveal just three figures.
