I'm pretty sure there are no names on that list because most of the time until official photos are released they don't list character names just product and a number afterwards like #17

Turbo Change sounds more likely to me.
But the did call that AOE line "Power Attackers" not 'Power Attack'
Though I also saw them listed online as "Power Battlers" too.

I wonder if the UV reactant paint will change in sunlight or require you to buy a cheap Chinese Black light to get them to work...

I may go buy one of them anyway.

But shining UV on plastic isn't the greatest of ideas - but my Gi Joe Zartan/Zarana & Zandar seem fine and I had them sitting on window sills to change colour more than once.

I wonder why they don't tend to use Glow in the dark much ?

About the "DX": it looks like that unlike with Lost Age and Adventure, TakaraTomy is going to lump all the toys in a single range, so no "LA vs. MA" or "TAV vs. TED". The "DX" figures are the Generations-like ones vs. the simplified ones. Like Will said, think about the early days of Chougokin with combining "DX" vs. the simpler "STD" toys. That said, don't expect them to keep the "DX" for the finalized names.

What's also remarkable is that TakaraTomy keeps the US title of the movie.

Also, the DX range is skipping letters, which leads me to believe that the same letters refer to the same characters. G is Optimus Prime, while A, C, E, and F we know are Bumblebee, Beserker, Barricade and an unknown character Dinobot Slash. A, B, C and D, appear in the Turbo/Speed Change line, two of them being Hound and Barricade. Characters A and C appear in both, so Barricade has to be one of those letters.

Speaking of expense & black series....here's an interesting thing

i'm taking it that LK means Last Knight otherwise i've got this in the wrong thread

Depends where you shop.

Hut yes I agree even with the different material costs involved that Transformers are globally better distributed than Marvel they should be able to keep the cost down.

I tend to feel they'd get away with $20.00 more when they look like they made an effort - so I was fine paying $20.00 for Brainstorm has he had nice tampographs.

If he'd had the same gosh awful stickers Voyager Megatron had then I'd not been very impressed.

I'm already disinclined to pay retail as it is and lowering product quality isn't going to persuade me otherwise.

Also You just know the One-step like toys will end up cheap somewhere pretty quickly so there would be a big discrepancy in cost then for a toy that would only be a wee bit bigger.

Also as much as Hasbro may not want to admit it they are also in competition with KO's now and for $20.00 there is a sea of top quality KO's available instead.

Or, you know, capitalism.

Use of licensed car modes increases the costs - but yeah there is a limit to what people will pay for a typical vanilla Deluxe like Slash when they can look up and see a leader that is several times the size and only a bit more than double the price.

Not to mention the average price of AOE deluxe Dinobot on eBay is about $7.00
