New ROTF figure pictures

Well, given thought/speculation that Transformers have been on Earth for a VERY LONG TIME, the biplane could be from a 'flashback montage' in the movie where we see historical vehicles and machines transforming... as our heroes learn the full scope of Cybertronian influence upon our culture.

is that a biplane? awesome, just awesome! im going to get that one. if theyare cheap and not tacky looking i'll get the repaints too and collect that one like it was a seeker.

I'll be a believer when we see that Ransack's robot mode in clearer detail. Looks kind of strange to me in that blurry shot.

From the text BIO above the robots. They are blurry. But just enough can be made out to say its Depthcharge and Ransack.

I'm trying but all I can make out is a bit bold R for the Biplane and two bold De for the boat. Perhaps your right but I'll wait till we have better images of them.

Cant wait to see how they justify a bi-plane. The boat guy looks good but i fear for the plane. Would've been a good idea for some spin off toy line but for the movie i dont know. Dont get me wrong it looks ok but just in the wrong continuity. Cant believe that hasbro is canning the Universe line for this crappy movie and animated.

I agree except for core characters. I'm gonna get as many of the 25th universe toys as i can afford. The only real problem i had with the univers line was how crappy the 25th prime remake was.

and 2nd i like biplane figure but the biplane should nt even remotlty be introduced into the film if they can introduce the biplane they cna introduce the dinbots, dinobots & biplanes are extinct, second whta dumb transformer would pick a slow moving vehical like that when it comes to air combat thats a bad disguise when fighting in the air.

i proaably get these figures but ill be sorley dissapointed if the biplane is introduced somehow in the film its just not possible or ligical

yes why a biplane and no dinobots

The G1 Ransack was a locust, G2 Ransask was a old prop airplane (specifically a Chance Vought F4U Corsair), Armada Ransack was a truck, Universe Ransack was a backhoe, Cybertron Ransack was a motorcycle. Seems like this guy is a homage to G2 if anything.

As for them working it into the plot, I see no reason he can't have found his alt mode in a museam or an airshow. I'd love it if a Transformer landed at the Henry Ford Museam and scanned something vintage. There are some sweet vehicles on display there.

Not every Transformer must turn into a 2009 vehicle. Heck, it's more likely that some alien landing at random in on earth would bump into something vintage than the latest showroom models and prototypes like we saw in the movie.

Well I will have to see a clearer picture to see if I like this new character. But if he is in the movie I have to question why he would choose such a old school vechicle mode ??? Will he change form later on in the movie as we saw with Bumblebee from muscle car to concept car ???
