New ROTF Figures Revealed and More.

It looks like they got Bumblebee right this time.

Mixmaster looks great, and Devastator is starting to grow on me. Still don't know about the $100 pricetag. Maybe Target will have a sale on him

I think that creating all the individual Constructicons and not having them combine to form Devastator is a major disappointment and a major failure on Hasbro's part. Can you imagine how big that Devastator would have been with five Deluxe figures connecting to one Voyager? Major coolness. Now we just need to hold out for three more Constructicons' Deluxe robot modes - Scrapper's, Long Haul's (not counting the FAB's mode), and Hook's (Hightower).

Just how old is Jetfire supposed to be? With his landing gear out like that in robot mode, it's like he has a walking cane especially with him being all slouched over like that. Kind of lame looking.

Though they're not pictured, what's up with the Twins' faces? Their faces are kind of deformed. Can anyone explain?

The best explanation we have to date is "Michael Bay is a moron". Maybe the film will give enough rationale for the twins getting beat with the ugly stick... but likely, it'll be as much of a plot point as Jazz's death was emotionally moving in the first movie. "Oh, Jazz... ah well, the token black 'bot is dead, but now we have human friends and Bumblebee can talk again, so I say we came out ahead!"

Actually the best explanation is the fact that this is more, how to say realistic in a way that alien robots wouldn't look like the G1 Transformers but more alien like taking on for the most part, human vehicles. Since a creative out look would show that some of these are clearly good designs for a new audience and maybe fans. Though most fans love to get on their high seat by complaining about designs or change which is why anything before the movie (the first one) will always be bellow average when the fact is you can't keep something like that up and not change it.

Which what scares fans the most is change because it has to be watched. If they worked on these movies with a better director but kept the basic look I bet the films will get a positive look, with the exceptions of Devastator because he really seems stubby in design.

Same idea of change also messes with cartoons as I think more people complained about animated then they did the entire Unicron series.

Wow I feel exactly the opposite...Seeing the individual robot modes for the non-combining constructicons has continually reaffirmed my descision to just by the vehicle-only combiners...Because even if they DID turn into the robots I've seen so far, I'd never even bother transforming them...I think Devestator looks 100 times better than any of the individual constructicons...

damn.... i thought that the constructicons could come individually to make a big one...... OR MAYBE THEY DO!!! lol i duno id preferr individual

Does anyone else think that the new Bumblebee looks better in the grey than the yellow? Looks less toy like.

Human Alliance Bumblebee looks great and the Sam figure is a nice touch, I'll be getting him when he's released.

Devastator makes me wan't to BBBAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!!!

Mixmaster looks good.

Has anyone else noticed the picture of the inside of HA Bumblebee?,.. you can clearly see the red prototype Sam figure sat in the drivers seat... but look closer and you can see a pink/purple figure sat next to him.. wonder who that might be? -scratches chin-

Either way, I'm definatley picking this up, cant wait to see if they do more HA figures and if so, who.

OK, I am really starting to love that HA Bumblebee mold, it will be a definite buy, maybe even a first-day buy (will it be out on the first day of Movie 2 toys?). I do see the pinkish mini-fig in the passenger seat, I wonder if it is/was supposed to be Mikaela? Maybe a feature they have since removed, or maybe the her fig from another Human Alliance set. Speaking of which, is there going to be an Ironhide/Lennox set? I thought I read a rumor about that, would def buy that as well. I love their connection in Off-Road Ironhide's bio.

As far as Devastator vs. individual Constructicons, I would buy all of them, the separate robots and Dev, if I had the money. As it is, I'll prob. start with the Constructicons, and wait for Dev's price to come down. I like his design, and of course I wish his components had their own robot modes, but for whatever reason they don't, so I'm choosing to appreciate them as they are: the separate Constructicons are realistic, detailed constructions machines that transform into awesome alien robots; Devastator is a huge, nigh-unstoppable alien wrecking machine. And those are pretty cool things to be in my book...
