Good news all! It looks like we have got cyberverse action set that is autobot ratchet with lunar crawler. The best thing about this set is that this lunar crawler looks like autobot roller which comes with the ARK set. Picture below.

---------------------------------------------------
Basic idea was they wanted to incorporate an external piece that didn't get in the way of transforming
Early concept was to combine the weapons
Deluxe wave 5 - 32363 Air Raid (color wise looks similar to Cybertron Jetfire)
Armor Topspin 36106
Dark Iron 36107 (Stingray corvette ... BW Quicksilver looking robot mode)
Deluxe Wave 6 to be released shortly after movie release
Voyager Wave 4 - Cannon Force Ironhide (G1 Inspired Ironhide - RED)
Leader Wave 2 Ironhide discussion
Ultimate Optimus Prime 28748 (fall launch) - discussed overall look of Prime, wanted to keep the piece count down)
SDCC Ultimate Optimus Prime - limited edition in a foil sleeve package, only time packaged in trailer mode, premium foil wrapped display box and sleeve, includes G1 sticker sheet for trailer, removable display case
Human Alliance Roadbuster w/ SGT Recon
Post movie reveal - 1 Human Alliance figure will be revealed after June 29th

Air Raid sounds promising...
Armor Topspin? Must be a redeco of the first Topsin, I don't see Hasbro making a new armored/unarmored counterpart for the ones already released.
Dark Iron looking like "BW Quicksilver"? They must mean BW Silverbolt, even then is it the Magnaboss eagle or the Fuzor? Must be the Fuzor...

Cannon Force Ironhide I'm definitely getting. Finally a red Ironhide in the main line!

Transformers Dark of the Moon (Cyberverse)
---------------------------------------------------
Action Sets wave 3 - Shockwave w/ Fusion tank (29738) will be in case this afternoon
Autobot Ratchet w/ Lunar Crawler
Autobot Ark w/ Roller

All bought, except Ratchet.

Transformers Dark of the Moon (Exclusives)
---------------------------------------------------
Showed all four of the TRU Scan Series figures
Cyberverse Battle Pack (homages the D.C. accident with Bumblebee ... got a laugh from crowd)
More deluxes: Elita-1, Bumblebee, Space Case, Autobot Jazz
Human Alliance Leadfoot w/ Steeljaw (Target exclusive)
Deluxe Two Pack w/ Leadfoot and Topspin (Target exclusive)
Walmart exclusives - Optimus Prime (deluxe), Bumblebee (84), Sideswipe (04 homages Lambor's numbering in Takara's G1 line)
Deluxe and Basic Human Alliance Pack (inspired by a black ops decoaration)
Animated Movie 25th Anniversary Edition Unicron, accurate from Animated movie, will be on display later (Amazon)
20 for 20 Toy Promotion - Starts July 25th - Sept 30th, buy $20 worth of toys, send in receipt and receive limited edition exclusive Optimus Prime t-shirt and retail coupons, QR scan or text and get a free music download from DOTM

So the Arcee repaint is actually Elita-1? Hasbro, it's usually a good idea to pick only one bike mold for one character and sticking with it.
Leadfoot being a Target exclusive is a big DUH! Target logos everywhere on the toys.
Now, the Unicron I'll be keeping my eye on. If it has the 2010 Takara head... "For a time... I consider sparing your wretched little planet Cybertron..."

Transformers Generations / Reveal The Shield
---------------------------------------------------
Addressed issue regarding RTS/Generations
Generations is continuing through entire year
RTS that you had trouble getting they are working to find homes for them

With RtS officially over and done with doesn't mean the toys will be re-released. Remember, Hasbro has made making additional runs and assigning them to other lines into an art. Universe comes to mind.

It does have the Takara head, saw pics on twitter but I am sure Seibertron will bring us better pics.

Not terribly suprising that Leadfoot is a Target exclusive. The Deluxe two-pack with Topspin works for me, since I need the both of them to complete the Wreckers.

Hooray! Commander Class Shockwave! He's going on the DO WANT list with Hatchet.

Dark Iron looking like "BW Quicksilver"? They must mean BW Silverbolt, even then is it the Magnaboss eagle or the Fuzor? Must be the Fuzor...

Sounds like they meant to say BW Quickstrike, the Scorpion/Cobra Fuzor.

I think that it's actually going to be Twintwist, which will be a slight repaint of Topspin. That's what I read on TFW, anyway.

I think I read on either TFW or TFormers that it's supposed to be Quickstrike.

I hope everyone gets a non-Target logos HA Leadfoot.

"But now... you shall witness... its dismemberment!"

Wonderful! Now for the colors to be correct, including the equatorial band, then i'll be soiling everything that I'm wearing.

Yes, I'm a Unicron fan, would that make me evil?

Hey, uh, what about reissues? No more reissues? Dinos? No? ****.

by **User897** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 6:19 pm

I saw the Amazon.com exclusive Unicron at the other sites. I'm surprised Sebertron doesn't have any up yet. I am VERY happy about this and will gladly be buying it. I'll put my Armada version in the box and pack it away and proudly display this one. I SINCERELY HOPE that the LED light inside the head is green or white to go with the correct green eyes on this one. The red behind green of the Takara version looks like ****. Also, I wonder if Amazon will put up a preorder page for Unicron since he's not going to be available until October.

Can't wait for this!

I sure hope that they get around to rereleasing the Generations figures, and that maybe they could rerelease the RTS figures in Generations (or even DOTM, given that the line was supposed to be a subline of HFTD).

Are you going to be able to go into more detail about some of the DOTM MechTech figures that you mentioned later? I'm mainly wondering about Air Raid (is it a repaint or a new mold?), "Dark Iron" (new mold, or repaint? And what are the colors?), and Cannon Force Ironhide (DOTM or original mold?).

Air Raid is a repaint of ROTF Thrust, who himself was a remold/repaint of Breakaway. His colors are supposed to homage his namesake. I've seen his pictures, and I have to say, he makes such a good Air Raid, he's a Classics figure to me. As a matter of fact...

Looks cool, huh? This is one of the DOTM figures I'm really looking forward to.

....Looks good as Autobot cannon fodder goes but that's it! Air Raid black, Fire Flight was red. This is just a cheap repaint with no real paint added on to justify it as being a completed figure.

Such are Bayverse figures as a whole

Air Raid's nose is very pink there. Combined with the neon green and purple cockpit and the sky blue on the gun, he's very G2. Am not really a fan of the way the top of the plane folds around his shoulders though, so it's a definite pass.

Are we talking DOTM Twintwist or something else. Pics or links please.

Any word yet on other future Generation figures?

Oh my god.....I have never been more excited about a toyline ever since the bayformer era (still ongoing).....transformers prime needs to come earlier than december.....because an actual ZOMBIE transformer (terrocon cliffjumper) just sounds legit.....especially the vehicons along with the up and coming breakdown and knockout just brings out the inner 5 year old in me.....megatrwill complete the whole cake for me honestly......well done hasbro......Just change THE RELEASE DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:
