What "exclusive" is Titanium Skywarp gonna be for? Some sort of convetion? or a normal store that one can at least get to?

Nice clear photos - a nice change from some other sites' 'fuzzfests'

Hmm. This is rather strange. All the galleries show Sideswipe having his own head(it's not the best one but it's still good) yet the Hasbro photos show him as having Sunstreakers head. What's the dillio on that eh? Anyway most of the new toys(from every line) look great. I mean MAN. That Deep Space Starscream kicks ass!

Photo's taken by Hasbro have to be screwed up somehow, it's the law!

Damn it, and i hoped that no USELESS repaints would come to the Ani Line.
Patrol BB? ACADEMY BB?
SRSLY WTF.

The activator Lockdown is definitely the worst.


Woah, a Hasbro reissue of G1 PRIME. this guy is going to sell for insane prices on eBay.

Crankase is sweet. Breakaway aswell, but he doesn't fit the movie line.

Universe legends are AWESOME. I'm so getting Jazz and hound. Even though the prototypes looks bit shitty.

Looks like the universe sunstreaker mold could be kitbashed into punch/counterpunch, since he can be transformed in two ways...

what's this? ratchet? or what.

For Roadbuster, it looks like they saw some vomit on the floor and based his colorscheme on it.

That green Seeker reminds me of the unproduced G2 camo Seeker we saw a while back -

Roadbustah yayz!

Roadbuster would look so much better with a new head mold and...not puke green tires. Black tires would look a lot better. Other than that, I think that mold is a good update. But he would look amazing with a new head, dangitt!

Why is animated megatrons cannon on the wrong arm?

Nice picture as always can't wait for them to be released.

The G1 Prime reissue looks great... except that I they would use the Music Label head mold instead of the old one. And I wish the eyes and windows were blue.

Also, will this 25th Prime be another store exclusive, or will it be general retail?

Either Hasbro mirrored the original image, which can be found here http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=News/Item&newsid=809F172F-D56F-E112-4586B28291BB15B5, like they always do

OR it might be a mistake, but the cannon looks like it rests on its own rectangular piece that can hopefully be removed, so it may be able to go on either arm.

I agree, the repaints aren't all that great. Why would they keep BB head totally yellow when the car is so dark?

Activator Lockdown is a little "overweight"

Crankcase is a tad tooo blue for me

I hope Sideswipe comes out as he looks here, because that head is soo much better than a repainted head.

Dunno if that is sarcasm, but that is Ironhide, and he looks okay. Using the back window as the chest was really clever. Though his vehicle mode has too many "lines" and a lot of the windows are painted that strange blue!

I saw a legend size Hound in the images, is there any chance we might see a deluxe sized Hound?

There will of course be more new molds than what we've seen in these photos right? Or does this sum up everything?

Hope not.

There is a deluxe Hound on the way, and he's going to come with a Ravage that fits into the Reissued Soundwave.
Not sure about anything else, but you'd assume at some point we'd see a Ratchet figure since they've made such a good looking Ironhide mold.

Also, I read that once the 2nd movie figures come out, Universe will be "stalled", but WILL come back.
AND, at some point, they will make Combiners, but because they're difficult to make and "the timing isn't right" with everything else going on,
these are on hold.

Along with Ratchet I think it's also reasonable to expect Smokescreen and Red Alert to get Deluxe Universe releases at some point.

The Dirge looks extremely good, and the Sideswipe looks a lot better from the original Hasbro pics. A more true to form Ironhide??? Who'd a thunk it? I wonder if they've finally got some fanboys working for Hasbro?

is it just me or is anyone annoyed yet with the way some of the figures are posed? like i dont expect them to put the figures in amazing poses.. but at least have their legs straight.. you know.. make them look tough.. leader class animated megatron's legs make him look like he's a little school girl waiting at a bus stop having to pee real bad.

wow that Irohides alt mode SUCKS and silverbolts bot mode has a bad mix of colors but i like some of those new Legends and deluxes and those bumper Battlers are fugly as hell there even worse than the movie versions

Like I asked earlier, will 25th Prime be an exclusive or a general releasse?

Sabrblade wrote:Like I asked earlier, will 25th Prime be an exclusive or a general releasse?

its going to be sold at $69.99 and Im pretty sure its going to be a general release cause its classified under the Universe line

Ironhide looks pretty interesting, but...

He doesn't have a gun?????? What the heck is up with that? Is there any chance that one will materialize before he's released, or will Ironhide have to run up and punch the enemy?

I swear, like twenty points of articulation, probably a pretty complex and ingenious transformation, and they can't even spring for a small piece of plastic molded to resemble a firearm . I will never understand that logic.

Also, on the fence about Ratbat, cause Sideways doesn't evoke anything even close to who/what Ratbat is. Maybe if he had a new head, but then again, I don't think any current or recent molds evoke a Ratbat homage. Roadbuster and Dirge look cool though, definitely going to get them.

Animated Jazz and the Dinobots look great.

Can't wait..

Are you sure about that? I thought the Universe and 25th ann. were two separate lines

Me likes Fracture A LOT! IMO, that's one of the best repaints we've seen in a while.

Me too. It's an excellent Diaclone homage.

Will hound be in one of the later waves? Any images?

And why does he come with Ravage?

That Mirage repaint reminds me of Thrasher from Gobots.

It's Crasher(you're right, it does).

I was just thinking the same thing!

I like that Evac and Mudflap are getting reissues. I missed the the first time around and didn't want to pay an arm & leg on the Bay.

Hound will be out either at the end of this year or more likely next year as he's part of the 25th anniversary.

I think he comes with ravage as a nod to the cartoon where hound captures ravage. (And frankly who needs a reason - it's a new hound and ravage!!!!!)

ah I see, thank you.

Love Ironhide. Glad to see Bluestreak. Wish that Hound and Jazz would get the deluxe treatment... in fact, Jazz looks a little pissed that he's that size!

Will definitely get Roadbuster and Ratbat. Ratbat kind of reminds me of his WW incarnation. Would have preferred to see Roadbuster repainted from Strongarm as they had similar vehicle modes originally but have to admit this is one of my favourite Cybertron molds.
So after Botcon, that's 2 Wreckers we've gotten out of Hot Shot's mold.

Have to get that green seeker!!!

Like the Hun-grrr repaint, just a pity they didn't use the larger molds for a lot of those small Classics. Would have preferred the Titanium WW Seeker mold for Dirge but will still get him. Now if only they'd remold the head and give us IDW Bombburst.

Animated Leader Megs cannon is on his right arm isn't it? the toy is other way round according to the gallery...

Nice clear pics, I can get a good look at the new Universe legends moulds, and they're actually pretty nice.

Maybe it's just me, but that little G2 Megatron looks better than both Classics versions.


...better than all movie versions too for that matter.

I agree - a very nice sculpt.

- great colour scheme too.

I was just thinking, they'd hardly do a Megatron without a Prime. I wonder if that'll happen. If they do anything like the job they did on Megatron there, I'll be happy.

hanauta wrote:Animated Leader Megs cannon is on his right arm isn't it? the toy is other way round according to the gallery...

I just watched a review of him today.
You can put it on either arm.

...just looking through the gallery again there, I think some more pics of animated must've gone up since I last looked in that section.

Sentinel Prime looks better than I'd thought. Looks to have an interesting transformation, I can figure out some of it, but not all. And it's a better head sculpt than I'd initially thought.

I'd also question whether he is in fact deluxe or not. I mean he looks about as tall as Swoop here, and he's not even standing up straight. They have him squatted down like he's taking a dump.



He also seems to have a lot more bulk. Says on the Hasbro site that he's deluxe, but we all know how infallible they are.

I like that "G2" Megatron It reminds me of G1

Sentinel is a deluxe. He's kind of small actually.

Then how come he looks so much bigger than Swoop? Swoops actually quite lanky, if anything you'd expect him to be a tall deluxe with those proportions. Sentinel looks both taller and fatter.

Did you see them in person? If Sentinel's a small deluxe, Swoop must be tiny.

Bumblethumper wrote:Sentinel Prime looks better than I'd thought. Looks to have an interesting transformation, I can figure out some of it, but not all. And it's a better head sculpt than I'd initially thought.

I am impressed from Sentinel Prime as well, although he is mistransformed in those pictures Who would knew that his head sculpt and robot mode would be so show accurate Jazz is very impressive as well Oilslick is a transformer I wouldn't get His toy (at least) is more alien-like than humanoid. The alt mode is good, but I don't like his bot mode.

I don't know if anyone noticed yet that in this image the robot mode has brown spots, but the tank doesn't have any.

Bumblethumper wrote:Sentinel Prime looks better than I'd thought. Looks to have an interesting transformation, I can figure out some of it, but not all.

Actually the transformation is simple: His torso (and head) are under the truck in vehicle mode. The front of the truck goes is the back of the robot mode, so you can say that Sentinel is under the truck . His hands form the sides of the truck - just separate them. Legs form the back of the truck - rotate them 180 degrees (like Animated Grimlock) and separate them from each other. Separate the front things and pose them over the shoulders in order to be more show accurate. I am not sure if there is something else to rotate, but I think that this is it.

Yep, I was there. I suppose I meant that Sentinel is small for what he is. Swoop and Snarl are deluxes as well. Don't worry though they are really cool.

Well like I said, I can figure out a lot of it, but there's some bits I can't be sure of. Like how his rear wheels rotate up to his shoulders and attach with his front wheels. I can think of a few ways they could do that, but I don't think I'll know for sure till I'm actually holding it for real in my grubby mits.

That's all part of the mystery, and part of what gets my interest when it comes to buying the figures. I like to be surprised.

I mean for contrast, look at Swoop's transformation. I don't think anyone will have to look at the instructions for that guy.

Legends Megatron, I think the alt mode is an unpainted prototype. They did the same deal with Legends Hound. Both have pretty decent paintjobs in bot mode, I just hope they don't cheap out on the production versions. Like look at Jazz. It's a nice mold, but would it kill them to paint the side-windows?

Great photos! Definitely the best ones from Botcon compared to the other sites.

I have a few guesses about how the wheels go to his shoulders but we will know for sure when we buy him
