Oddly the only movie universe toy on display was the upcoming Deluxe Movie Trilogy Series Optimus Prime with Trailer. During the brand presentation they revealed the Deluxe Wheeljack with G1 style head, black Soundblaster repaint of Soundwave, and Ratchet repaint would not be released in the US.

There was a large display of the new Transformers Bot Shots game. These little figures feature a "rock, paper, scissors" type game built into their chests. Each wave features a translucent chase figure with bonus powers for the game. There will also be launcher play sets for added playability.

Lastly we have some images of Transformers: Rescue Bots figures and play sets. Don't forget the show returns to the Hub this month on the 18th!

Then there's the whole chase/rare figure thing. Before you know it we'll see them going for $60 on ebay.
It's part of the fun and appeal of collecting, I suppose.

It actually showing up in the cartoon would help as well.

No Mirage, almost certainly. (Well, unless you count the Cyberverse retool of ROTF Sideways; and I can see why you wouldn't.) But in what I've read reported here so far, I haven't seen anything definite about HA Soundwave and Deluxe Soundwave and Que (in their original colors).
I'll grant, things don't look too good for a US release of these figures. But, would Deluxe trailer Prime really be the lone Movie Trilogy release in the States? That seems a bit odd. It doesn't strike me as completely unreasonable to hold out hope that these figures (in their original colors) might still see a US release in the Movie Trilogy line.
It would be nice to get a definite answer on this.

Face it - we need more bumblebee's and mudflaps.
Please prove me wrong, Hasbro.

Movie Trilogy is gonna be an Asia-only toyline.dedcat wrote:Movie Trilogy is going to be nothing but repaints of the three movieverse lines. My guess is we'll see all core cast re-released and a few repainted with 'new' names of characters never featured in the films.
