Wait did people actually still had doubts this was his name after the imax event confirmed it with multiple characters stating his name?

Or do you mean that the toy in question is Cogman and were not talking about identity?

He meant that the toy retains the "Cogman" name, as people were wondering if it were a name that could pass the muster as an official Transformers toy name since it doesn't sound like the kind that usually do.

Well you just said he is a head master so clearly he has his own transactor body right?

But thats the wierd thing, only looking at what Michael bay said, Cogman doesnt have his own transtector body. Instead he ripps off heads to become a new one.

As I said, I wont offer any speculation to further confuse anyone. I will instead report only the facts, and that toy being cogman is now a fact

Yeah, Nitro looks like a cool Decepticon, and Skullitron looks cool too. Aside from those, the other decepticons already came out (Barricade and Berserker, who may or may not actually be in the film).

Thats about it for cons though.

And you are smart to wait to see if there will be a better voyager Optimus deco.

I was about to write that I cant believe we havent gotten info on store exclusives yet but then I realized that those always come later and come out later too. I checked and the Walmart exclusives only started coming out in august. AUGUST?!

Anyways, back to toys you might get, I thought Sqweeks would be on your list. He looks worth the money, more so than most.

Well, thanks to a tip from Seibertronian Scotty P, we now have images from Toysrus France. It is an early listing and no stock is available yet. What is fun to see here is that this simplified Hound has a totally different transformation scheme than the other new simplified Hound molds for this line where instead of his missile racks becoming his arms, they become his legs. While Megatron is getting a lot of love with new molds in this film, it seems the runner up would be Hound.

If only there was some sort of clue, like a giant faction symbol or something.

Hasbro does feel a need slap faction symbols on everyone (Unicron sure isn't a Decepticon), but it is a good indicator of their alignment (good or evil). And since Skullitron is most likely not in the movie to begin with we're left believing he's just another Decepticon until some fiction says otherwise.

all through cw and waves 1-2 of cw there was the autobot symbol
starting with wave 3 they changed it to the con symbol

Yes they can their both packaging art from Hasbro products for main line toys.

I'm not going to ignore one just because it's "G1".

i didnt say its because its g1. its jon the packaging of all of them like that.
tr prime has an con symbol as well.

Also, this whole faction thing may be just strange, but we can't put it past Steelbane and Infernicus to be bots (or good guy aligned). The monsters that look like Infernicus are charging a purple eyed Prime, making me think they are meant to be good guys attacking an evil Prime, just dying in the process. And Steelbane appears to be the character on that one movie poster, so he could be considered good too. Just like how Skullitron could be the bad guy version of Steelbane seen punching Prime in trailers, hence bad guy aligned.

Also, I watched the Emgo review of Steelbane last night and he is a definite nope

Never said you did but I'm stating that I'm going to compare all of the recent packaging.

So what's different between your examples and TLK?

Deadput wrote:Yeah and Infernocus has Autobot symbols despite the trailer clearly showing them to be a bunch of monsters.

It's a packaging thing and Skullitron is clearly one of the same knights Steelbane is part of so he can't be related to Megatron's Decepticons unless he joins them in the movie and it could always just a a two pack with Bomber Megatron or someone else.

Also character's without factions have been labeled as one or the other in their toys such as Lockdown and packaging mistakes are also a thing look at Tr Soundwave and Broadside's faction symbols on the top of their boxes.

Emerje wrote:Depends on how they play up the whole Autobot origin thing with Quintessa. If she considers herself the Autobot matriarch it would make sense for Infernocus to have an Autobot symbol even if he's evil.

Where the hell did Quintessa being an Autobot matriarch come from? Isn't she just a creator or someone who is aligned with them?

Emerje wrote:Being a knight has absolutely nothing to do with factions in this movie, just look at Megatron himself.

Well Megatron isn't one of those knights from the past now is he?

Skullitron and Steelbane are clearly part of the same group considering the trailers and their boxes both giving them the same jobs.

Point is not to trust random pictures on packaging.

For those with a Westfield shopping centre near them, some people have been seeing this week, two short promo videos on their advertising screens, for the Transformers movie, featuring Deluxe Bumblebee (in one) and Voyager Optimus (in the other).

Both promo clips go for 10 seconds, starting off with the movie logo and its release date in Australia (June 22nd)... then it shows the feature character, morphing from the recent 3D movie promos on facebook into their first wave toy... running and transforming into vehicle mode, then transforming back to take place in a line-up of the six Deluxe and Voyager wave 1 toys.

These promo clips might show up on youtube or facebook by Hasbro or Paramount, but here is a taping of the two clips that I took today at the Garden City Westfield (outside Target)..

william-james88 wrote:I was playing with my Voyager Movie Optimus Primes yesterday, the latest three (so DOTM, AOE and TLK). I really enjoy how they are completely different toys and all worth owning in one capacity or another. There were definite diferences and you could feel the improvement. Dollar to value ratio is tough to compare since the new voyagers cost an arm and a leg now in my country, so I will only look at the toys.

DOTM is shorter and skinnier than I remember. I still love his leg transformation (very unique amongst Optimus toys) but the arms are clunky). When all three are side by side (pics coming later, maybe), the newest one is the beefiest, most imposing and more sparkly. But holding them all, the AOE voyager is easily the better toy for me. He feels so good as a poseable toy and as a transformer. He has less kibble than either and feels far more solid. Nothing unpegs, which is kind of amazing when you realize that his torso is just made up of free floating bits of the truck. Its really miraculous how you get such a solid connection. Him not being a shellformer in any way really makes him stand out and the elbows arent as bad as I remembered. plus the paint on the evolution one I have is plentiful.

I think I like him best followed by the new TLk voyager with DOTM taking a back seat 9but I did still like him back when I got him).

HFTD and TLK look pretty boss together.

If it's the case, that is an awesomely clever way to cheap out on designs!
