Optimus Prime
The Autobots' leader is the biggest, strongest, and smartest. Optimus Prime makes the plans and protects the humans in the war with the Decepticons. He's awesome in big-rig mode and even more amazing as his true red-and-blue-armored self. You wouldn't call Optimus Prime cuddly, but he does care. He's just seen a lot of battle ... and he knows there's more to come.

Soundwave
A stealth drone and the Decepticons' spy master, Soundwave has no face and doesn't say much. He just quietly finds information to use against the Autobots. He can tap into any transmission anywhere, except at the Autobots' secret base. Soundwave's far-reaching tentacles can snap through concrete, but his main tools are the tiny Deployers in his chest.

Bulkhead
This giant ATV is the muscle of the Autobots. But Bulkhead's actually kind of sensitive -- as Miko learns when she bonds with him. At first he was a little afraid of hurting his tiny partner, but Miko helped him get over that. Now she even pushes him to do things that sometimes get him into trouble. But when Miko's in danger, Bulkhead's there to protect her.

Starscream
This military fighter jet is Megatron's right-hand man. Starscream would rather sneak up on his victims than face them head-on, which makes him extra-dangerous. He's an expert planner, and that's one reason Megatron keeps him around. Starscream always shows respect to his general, but he's really just waiting for a chance to take command of the Decepticons himself.

Are we getting toys for this line at some point?
Also, Eradicon and cliffjumper's vehicle modes look nice.

My absolute least favorite part of the live action movies. Grrrr. It's Bumblebee, not R2-Freakin-D2!!!

The toys better be good, or the fan outrage will be immense. I can see it now... "Even Bayhem's robot's looked like something. I mean look at...OMG WHY IS SOUNDWAVE A BAT AND STARSCREAM A STICK WITH WINGS??"
And so on, and so on.
I like Bulkhead, a lot. Ratchet's not bad. Megatron, I can't remember, but I love the vehicle mode in that pic.

And then a year later everyone will love it.

Some of the Autobots look pretty good but overall I don't know if I am really impressed with the Bayverse/Animated mashup.

Beast Wars Mutant Soundwave was a bat and a crocodile. Bats and "soundwaves" go hand-in-hand. I'm thinking this was their train of thought.

I think we got something really special here.

What toys?
What toys do you think will go along with this? They aren't going to make a whole new line and just spring it on us. It takes a year + in production and development to pump out a toy line.
As we speak, somewhere they are finishing the designs on the Movie 3 toys. We're going to go from PCC and Generations right into the Movie toys next year. There's literally no room for these things to make it to shelves.
Prime will be a prep-work and hype show leading up to the film. It may not be related to the movie, but all the visual clues are there, all of them going towards legitimizing what kids see on screen.
Bet it.

...but Soundwave? Urgh. I'm a bit of a Soundwave fan, and I have to say, after the awesome designs for Animated, ROTF and WFC, this one is just a huge kick in the balls. His bio doesn't help things:

Turnoffs don't get much bigger than that.The fact that he's just a drone, doesn't say much and "has no face" really pisses me off.
On the lighter side, I still think Optimus' design looks great, and the truck is very cool. I also think they got Bulkhead, Ratchet, Megatron and Cliffjumper right. Starscream is a bit spindly, but I suppose it kind of matches his character. Arcee looks alright too.
I reckon toys of these guys would be good, and they're probably possible, considering the kind of things we've seen in ROTF and HFTD. Obviously if these toys are planned, they won't come out until after TF3, and that's only Prime is still running by that point.

I thought you were joking when you wrote that ... until I read it on the site.
It looks like the live action movies(s) animated.
