And...BUILDING BLOCKS!?! Sweet Primus, has Hasbro already forgotten the the tragedy of Built to Rule? Is this gonna' be another wretched curse returning to haunt the franchise at the beginning of every decade?
The rest sounds interesting enough. Only other oddity is that they announce the first TF Prime toys, which are apparently to be buried in Generations instead of having their own line. And a fem-con on the show? Could THIS be our first Slipstream toy?! Or anything other than giving the Arcee mold a bad-girl repaint and calling her Flamewar?

I sincerely hope that Hasbro has learned from the mistakes of BTR with this new block line. The figures at least look decent IMO (though why exactly they have movie-styled bodies and Classics-styled heads seems a bit odd [never mind the G1 TF minifigs that come with them] - Photoshopped, maybe?), and they sound like they're properly transformable this time. I guess we'll see.
Other than that...in as much as I don't really care about the 'kiddy' lines, I am somewhat tempted by Rescue Bots Optimus, 'Bee and Blades.

Please tell me this is something other then the Prime trailer combo we've already seen. Because I want a nearly 2 foot tall Prime.... I really do.

Oh, there is supposed to be a capital "M" on Mack Truck under Megatrons description. Yeah, I know, that sounds anal but hey, that's MY last name were talking about.

from what I have seen Sentinel Prime,Roadbuster and Topspin will be mine for sure.is Crankcase in the movie?if so Ill get him.also Voyager Megatron and Skyhammer(so cool)
I see nothing to make me want to upgrade any of my existing onscreen bots though...except maybe Ultimate Prime
