"Cyberverse' sounds promising, especially considering how well done the recent Legends and Scouts were. The Ark evidently does NOT have a robot mode (aww...), but the accessories ("all 6"?) apparently can form a base. Wonder if the Ark and accessories can further combine into a super-base...

I knew it I knew it I knew it!!!! I knew they'd swap the spots of Ultimate Bumblebee and Leader Optimus Prime. I HAVE to have Prime.

Dude...you better not be kidding us. If you're being serious I will be the happiest man in the world.
If we are getting my favorite character of all time, I will save up for both the Ultimate bros.

I know. These sound fun...and possibly affordable.

Would Paramount even allow Hasbro to repaint movie Prime into someone else? Doesn't the movie studio have a say in movie toys?

Hmm...I thought about that, but we have gotten Cliffjumper, Thundercracker, and Smokescreen, who were repaints of cast members into new characters. So I suppose this is plausible.
Anyway, that wouldn't really matter if he is in the movie itself, considering the white with blue flamed Peterbilt with trailer that was seen at a few filming sites.

The Ultimate Prime sounds great! Hopefully it will be leader scaled, just with the trailer. The regular leaders better at least include Shockwave and Megatron. And hopefully Megatron's mold will be more movie accurate than the last one.

Darn it! That's twice now! First with Barricade and now Prime. I let myself get all excited and thought that, for just a moment, there was hope for this line. Then reality slowly set back in and I thought of all of those crappy Mechtech weapons on a large scale and combined that image with a super-sized mental picture of the horrid Voyager class Prime they're giving us. End result = a Supreme Class, overpriced, P.O.S. Prime with a bunch of mish-mash weapons slapped all over his body like Frankensteins illegitimate offspring dropped into an ammo dump.

Yes, I'm simply spouting a single opinion. No, I don't expect anyone to agree with me.
If you're excited about the prospects of the DotM line, then by all means, enjoy my share of the spoils.

I think it goes without saying that Megatron and Prime will get the leader treatment as usual. We will likely get a surprise figure get the leader treatment like Starscream did. I am not 100 percent certain about Shockwave getting the leader treatment, however. If I remember correctly, The Fallen was originally planned to have a leader class toy but he didn't, just a bunch of voyagers (BTW is the most recent wave of voyagers not being made anymore?).

I don't give a badger's arse about any of that Bayverse junk, I just want to know if we'll be getting more RTS/Generations released here.

If Prime is able to combine with his trailer, I might pick him up. But only if he's as articulated as RoTF leader. If it's more like the 2007 version, I'll pass. That toy sucks and looks like crap. I am pretty much sold on the Megatron tanker, so hopefully that will get leader treatment as well, and not just the voyager we have seen.

Ultimate Prime with armour?

Ark playset?

This could be cool.

I think it will be lame.

If you don't care about movie toys than why post in a thread about movie toys?

They can still very much paint prime in different colors.
They may not be able to call him ultra magnus, but they can make it look like him.

Because it's UK Toy Fair news and I live in the UK. I'm expressing my dissapointment that there's no information on the future of RTS/Generations here. Satisfactory explanation?

Saving me money one announcement at a time!

The trailered prime is the ONLY thing in this line that has my interest. That may be squashed as soon as I see it.

Ultimate Prime - Oh my poor moneys XD Vastly confident for this!

I really hope they continue the die-cast Speed Stars (formerly RPMs) for DOTM; my collection won't look complete without DOTM characters/vehicles!

Incredible selection of TF toys they will be shoving toys on the floor. So now I’m going to sum up what I think about all the sublines

#1 MECH TECH ------ If I will get any of them it will probably none movie TF’s
#2 Ultimate ------- UOP it all depends on how his super mode looks like
#3 Cyberverse ----- Probably most of them, also depends on how the ark looks like
#4 Robot heroes ----- from my perspective it’s a waste ‘o plastic
#5 Speed stars ------ I find them an interesting concept I may get one or two


(On #1 I probably will get the Wreckers Crankcase Meg’s Ferrari Bot and maybe Sentinel prime)
(On #5 I may get the Ferrari bots SS if there is one, I am going get into customs soon so I may get one to customize into Ben 10’s car)
