New image of DOTM toys: First look at Sentinel Prime!

That overhead view of Bumblebee really makes me dislike the redesign to the nose of the vehicle. Geez.

And I thought Ironhide was small, but Optimus and Megatron really take the cake in terms of size. Yeesh.

Nice group shot! Sentinal Prime is the firetruck, right? Looks interesting.
What character is the chopper at the back going to be?

i see alot i want and dont want, but i cant wait for sentinel prime!

Megs and Shockwave seem to suffer from Bulkhead syndrome, but in reverse. Their robot modes (from what we saw before) look normal-sized, but their alt modes look weirdly small for their class...
It doesn't help that the Voyager Ratchet dwarfs all the new molds.


Nice to see the blue Wrecker in 'battle' mode. The hood weapon looks like it can fold in on itself, and perhaps even sink into the hood itself to store.

interesting, it appears sideswipe has a roof on his vehicle mode. Perhaps the toy is a convertable

The alt-modes look okay, but I still haven't seen them in robot mode, so I'm still a bit skeptic about this toyline

umm, not sure if you guys miss-spelled 'Wreckers' on purpose, but I'm pretty sure it isn't spelled 'Wreakers'.

Not impressed at all. I've seen some shots of what I assume is voyager Shockwave, and they really dropped the ball. I was hoping for a really good Shockwave figure. None of these are making me want to run out and get them in 4-5 months, and the extra weapons feature is just dumb. Makes them look cluttered. I hope the movie will be decent, because so far this is a letdown.

I'm not sure what your seeing, but Sideswipe's definitely just a convertible (without a roof): I can clearly see two seats, the (black) windscreen and a huge Mech-Tech weapon...

I need to see the bot mode, but with the redesigned Sideswipe, I now have 2 figures from the movie I want, Sideswipe and Shockwave.

Sentinel and the copter are maybes.

The rest are pretty blah.

I still haven't bought any movie toys from the original movie or ROTF. The only thing that might get me to buy a movie toy is if they don't release a Generations or reissue Shockwave so DOTM would be the only option for old cyclops.
Sentinel Prime is a pass for me. Too many Primes.

There is not much here I'm buying. Shockwave, yeah. Maybe Sentinel Prime. Beyond that...

I really hate to say this but...ENOUGH, we get it!!! You have DOTM figures! Thank you for sharing them with us BUT can we get some video reviews?!?! More bot pics?!?!

I mean really, not everything has to be top secret.

And I still say that Meg and Prime are deluxe figures...they just can't be voyager, they just can't be...

Oh and yes people. In the movie the cars will transform just a little to get their mech tech out. They wont be driving around with these massive guns just hanging on them like the toys.


uh,I feel much better...thank you.

shockwave is a must have, but the others... no. there have been far too many versions of the movie characters, and they bring out new ones every year.
why cant they just say "sorry kid, if you wanted an ironhide, you shoulda got one last year".
focus on new characters!
like Longbow (the copter. tfwiki him)

The fire truck is Ultra Magnus not Sentinel Prime. Sentinel Prime will be an aerial craft.

I might get Megatron, the Wreckers, the fire truck and the helicopter, and definitely Shockwave. Not many... but as we know from ROTF, the off-screen figures are usually better.

These things are amazing, the ones I will be getting will be: the wreckers, shockwave, jolt, possibly barricade, depends on the robot mode for sentinel and helicopter bot.

By the way in some previous reveals we’ve seen a HA dune buggy all I could think win I saw it in wheelchair mode was…… Chip Chase is back,! He’s here reprogram and take names!!!

Here's my take on the "DOTM family picture"

Who's the helicopter? Fire truck awesome. Surprised that Ratchet is the biggest voyager vehicle, rest are small just like HFTD voyager OP; was hoping Shockwave and Megatron were bigger. Blue wrecker badass, I like the extra weapons, too bad the green isn't armed up.

Is that Inferno in the very back?

How do you know that for sure?

I just remember that security guard on set that claimed it was Sentinel...and you'd expect him to know what he's talkin' about, right?

So THAT'S the fire truck.

I thought it was Inferno.

Btw, shouldn't this be in the Toy Sightings forum?

I hope Sentinel or Ultra Magnus or who ever it is isn't to spindly in robot mode. I like my bots with girth!

I saw something on youtube that claimed the fire truck would be Ultra Magnus. I can't link because I didn't pay that close attention to it. Whoever he is , looks neat.
The helicopter looks neat too.

Well we saw call sheets confirming that Ultra Magnus is in the movie. The fire truck color scheme matches Magnus'. There is Takara toy of Magnus with that truck for alt mode. Sentinel Prime is the Gold Bot with wings from the announcement teaser. And i really don't see him transform into red fire truck. So I just make logical conclusions. Still you can trust the security guard. That sounds like a solid source.

has no-one paid attention to the fact i know the name of the helicopter?!?!?!
HE'S LONGBOW!

plus, movie magnus = YES!
i can finally get an ultra magnus that isnt the awful titanium one. or the gawkishly huge animated one.

you want the truth? you cant handle the truth!

The fire truck looks like a must-have, whoever he is. With all this discussion I can't tell who really knows what.
The helicopter...he looks very intriguing. This must be the one from the Takara listings we saw.
Blue Wrecker = epic. Liking the weaponry. It would be even better if it wasn't Jimmie Johnson.
Uh...anyone notice deluxe class Ratchet? I don't think we've seen him yet to my knowledge. He appears from this point of view to be the ROTF mold with a new weapon.
Sideswipe looks like the best version of him so far. I'm digging the drop-top.
And where the slagging heck is Juan Montoya's #42 car? I was looking forward to that one the most.

This chopper was made by Josh Nizzi 2 years ago for a USA Today contest. So it has nothing to do with DOTM. Still a great concept.

i thought it was hinted at as being in dotm.
oh well time will tell...

I'm wondering if the helicopter in the USA Today article ended up being Tomahawk in the HFTD toyline. The name Tomahawk would fit in with the alt mode of an Apache helicopter, as both are Native American names. Also, similar to the concept art, Tomahawk's rear rotor ends up being deployable on his arm. Just a thought.

Also, does it look to anyone else like there are TWO sizes of Skids? One almost a Human Alliance size, and the other a small Deluxe.

thats why i was expecting the tomahawk repaint to be longbow, but this new copter threw me on that.

There are only a deluxe and a legends class Skids in this picture. Plans for a Human Alliance are currently unknown.

Not much to go on, clearly, but wow, some of those look good. Convertible Sideswipe looks great. Sentinel Prime looks huge. The Wreckers look cool, perhaps not as heavily-armed as the real ones, but more importantly- where's the #42 car? Juan Montoya's my boy!

Not liking the convertible sideswipe, that car looks horrible without a top. The spoiler is a nice touch but lost in the ugliness that is the missing roof.

I'm kind of relieved to see that there's not much there that interests me.

But Sentinel Prime looks like he's going to be awesome and a must-buy!

Whew...Looks like I'll be able to get all of the fansproject goodness I can get this year

Has anyone noticed, that the Voyager Ratchet is yet ANOTHER re-deco of the 2007 Movie Voyager Ratchet? Poor guy, he's the only character not to get a brand-new remold in Voyager. EVER. At least this one seems to be colored correctly: ROTF Deco was half-colored.

True, he did get a Deluxe, which seems more movie-accurate, but it's still a Humvee, Not a Hummer!

I just don't get it, every other Voyager has gotten a remold: Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Ironhide. Why does Hasbro hate him?

It does seem that they would have enough sense to make a new one after a few years, wouldn't it? Oh well, maybe if we give Hasbro enough crap about it we'll get a new one after the initial releases. I do like the colors, though.

Red 50 wrote:True, he did get a Deluxe, which seems more movie-accurate, but it's still a Humvee, Not a Hummer!

The deluxe is still a Hummer, except it is modeled after a Hummer H2 SUT with custom modifications rather than an H2 ambulance.

I thought Hasbro hated him too, but I don't know. I don't think anyone likes him to tell you the truth...even the kids. His toys are always big shelfwarmers. Maybe Hasbro though they just shouldn't bother redoing him, predicting similar sales.
But of course if they just skipped him altogether there would be fandom riots.

Why mess with perfection? With the gobs of toys awards Voy Ratchet has received I don't think Hasbro wants to rock the boat. Let's just be happy we are getting another repaint of the most exciting TF ever.

Not unless you've actually seen it in a place you can buy it.

I wonder if anyone else has noticed that the car in the bottom middle (the one with the AMP logo on its hood) is nothing more than a repaint of Barricade right behind it. Seriously, this line hasn't even been officially released and Hasbro already has a repaint in.

Yea, that's actually a new mold... it's a Nascar figure the green one from earlier photos... It even has a different grill with a chevy emblem. How is that a repaint at all?

Racthet was pretty almost absent in the 2nd movie, so him getting 2 different size toys for ROTF was kind of a surprise. Maybe Ratchet gets more than 2 lines in DOTM

I have not seen some robot mode pictures of these but i will get,
.Shockwave
.Sentinel prime
.That Helicopter
.Wreckers (i said no mechtech but these guys look like they have a few weopons in the movie)
What happend to that red sports car?

I have a question:

I have watched all G1, Beast Wars, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron series and have never heard of this guy. Who the hell is Sentinel Prime ???

Somebody please elighten me. (And keep in mind I dont read comics)

EDIT: I'm an idiot, carry on.

Not exactly sure when Sentinel became a character. I do know that he has been in some of the comics (I'm currently reading through all of the comics), but most recently, he was a part of Transformers Animated. The snow plow truck with the massive Jay Leno chin in Robot mode who was also a total prick of a character that I was hoping so much would die a very slow and painful, and VERY explicit on screen death. He was also a part of the War for Cybertron game if I can remember properly. I haven't played the game yet, so I'm not 100%.

Sentinel Prime was in fact introduced in the G1 comic series. That is the only continuity he's in besides his hot-shot jerk version in Animated.

Thank you OptiMagnus for clearing that up. I feel like I learned something.

Huh? I thought Zeta Prime was succeeded by Optimus Prime. I'm confused.
