HAH! Told ya it was Caliburst!

*adds both to the pile of Mini-Cons he'll never get to have*

by the by, The official name for United G2 Prime is Laser Optimus Prime (ree-zaa o-pu-ti-ma-su -pu-ra-i-mu)

[GEEWUN]

It was previously stated that the weapons in DotM would be more powerful....

There better be a targetmaster!!!!

[Jazz-1982]

There's space for 3 more figures in United. Reflector probably Warpath and ?

How about the other junkion? Scrapheap is the e-hobby exclusive. Junkyard maybe? Or some variation?

[Jazz-1982]

The thought had crossed my mind too but I'd be very surprised if they released another Junkion so soon after Wreck-Gar and Scraphead in the E-Hobby exclusive set as it would decrease the demand for the set and be too much of the same thing at the same time for us fans.

[Agamemnon]

Thundercracker maybe? Well, they released that before with Skywarp. How about Sunstorm?

Given that remolds are probable at this point I vote for Reflector, Dauros (Skullgrin) and Black Shadow (Thunderwing)

wait so does this mean that rumble and frenzy are sold together? at least in the united line?

Only in United. Hasbro's RtS only has Rumble (the blue guy).

So far.

Would there be enough time to release Frenzy (the red guy) though?

It's possible Hasbro will continue the Classics/Generations line through the movie, although that would make three lines at once with Prime too. Still, I seem to remember someone pointing out that Hasbro stated they will continue the Generations line with no plans for ending it.

But Generations is Deluxe only, with Rumble/Frenzy being a Scout.

[ShardFenix]

well it looks like I'll be getting the United for Rumble/Frenzy. Maybe R/F are RTS?

How is Hasbro releasing Rumble? RTS, right? Which is also tied in with movie bots. I expect that Frenzy may show up as a DotM figure then. I'm pretty sure we'll see Frenzy before long, since Hasbro has shown us both paint jobs.

[Blurrz]

Glad F and R are being released together... and Wheeljack looks awesome. Alot of details on Scourge which is quite appealing!

[New Guy]

Did anyone else notice DOTM Prime has a different gun?

Well, it gets wiggly there - the main DotM line technically doesn't have scout class figures. He'd have to be released under the Cyberverse label... which does resolve the issue of his not having mechtech accessories, but it seems like he'd be out of place as a 'commander'.

I'm pretty sure we'll see Frenzy before long, since Hasbro has shown us both paint jobs.

Hmm, I don't recall that, but I honestly can't remember what we've seen where.

I would venture that Frenzy may appear in a Wal-Mart scout two-pack exclusive (like Beachcomber did). Presumably we'd see a repaint of Windcharger too.



I'm still disappointed that we never got the Blue Max repaint of RotF Ransack/Divebomb, and am still waiting for a G1 repaint of RotF Insecticon.

[Stockade]

I wonder if the last 3 will be Reflector, Warpath and the repaint of Scourge?

[Jazz-1982]

I always have and always will call the blue one Frenzy and the Red one Rumble.

I seem to remember that we saw a product listing from Takara Tomy for United which had a character called camera which was going to be the Perceptor repaint into Reflector.

I actually canceled my pre-order for United Scourge and Wheeljack as I prefer the Hasbro versions. Generations Scourge minus the unnecessary metallic blue paint is sitting right next to me just now waiting to be opened.
Just waiting for a pre-order from one of the Japanese online toy hobby stores I use for Hasbro's Wheeljack.

[BigBotPrime]

wow this voyager DOTM optimus looks better that hasbros (obviously)
