New ROTF Figures Revealed: Ice Cream Truck Twins, Arcee, Jolt & More!

Unfortunately, I don't see myself spending money on any of the above toys.

i will get every one of these toys, if all of them are in the movie. like blaze master, i dont think i will get him. and arcee had better be mis-transformed. ugly! but i will get it any way.

LOL dead end and swerve repaint already

I want a Tracks repaint of the 'Vette and a Bugbite repaint of the Camaro - fund it

The original toys haven't even been released and already we have repaints... Swerve = Sideswipe, and I have to say Dead End does look a lot better than Sideways.
I only really like the twins in Icecream van mode..., looks like that's the one I'm getting. I wonder what Blaze Master's alt will ook like. I mean, it's going to be a helicopter, but what make / type.

why did they repaint the corvette red and call it swerve?? I could never understand why he was given a sports car update in other continuities. Wouldnt it been better if they called it a g1 redeco of Sideswipe, like they did with Jazz in the first movie (not that they released that repaint here in lil ol NZ)

I am just going to throw this out there but that Blaze Master figure looks a hell of a lot like the legends class Springer we saw earlier. And the blades on each arm resemble the ones seen on the heroes of Cybertron Springer.

I have to wonder if the way I feel about this line of toys is the way that all the G1 folks felt as Beast Wars was being revealed...

That's a fair representation. Although I eventually ended up getting almost all of the Beast Wars line because they grew on me....and I don't see that happening with these guys.

I think ill need the Ice Cream truck. Deluxe Class combiner! Comedy Combiner at that.

And you know what I prefer Swerve and Dead End. Better colour schemes. Keen to see swerves head as Dead end got a re-mold. Might just pop the head off Universe Sideswipe and see if that fits.

but can I also say

Wheel Feet Wheel Feet Wheel Feet Tiny Feet Tiny Feet and gun hands.

A Deluxe Dead End as well? I'm not fussed on that head but I'm pretty happy about that. I wasn't expecting to be able to get two of them so soon.

It seems a bit weird to me for the same name to be used twice on two totally different designs.

well jolt and blazemaster look good at any rate. I'm really disappointed with the actual identity of the ice cream truck though. I was really hoping for...well, a single bot. An autobot like Wreck-gar or a twisted decepticon would have been preferable.

i have to strongly agree with you here, although it is odd that were seeing blaze master before springer.

also i don't care if it says swerve that's my sideswipe... now i just have to pray that he has the same head(or a more g1 sideswipe looking head!)

and jolt looks alot better than i expected, kinda reminds me of g1 skids. damn you hasbro and your name swapping!

Ice cream Twins + Jolt = Purewinawesomedoublepusgood.

Peace be upon all,

How could they do that to Arcee!!??
I wish they would have made this some unheard of character than to make such an iconic character into a disfigured figure!

As I said before, a lot of this line is looking dark, distorted and depressing!

So far, my TF2 budget will be for tickets, the game and the DVD...

although I'm not liking Arcee, at least it's a different mold from chromia, which could mean they DO combine... just one more bike to see (and, well, a pic of them combined) and we'll have our answer.

loving Swerve... was hoping for a red repaint... he's totally gonna be my Sideswipe! and Blazemaster Totally looks exactly like the legends springer, and duel rotors suggests an osprey alt-mode... odd that springer would be a deluxe though (I'm assuming this guy is a repaint)

My eyes. They burn

What the hell is wrong with Arcee?? She looks like she just narrowly survied an explosion...

Really hoping that Arcee is mis-transformed. Not that it matters to me. Glad to see a red "Sideswipe" though.

Those ice cream twins look funny.

Not my thing but I hope other folks like these toys enough to purchase.

Rail Racer is a much better 3-piece combiner in any form.

I'm definitely getting the ice cream truck version rather than the individual versions of Skids and Mudflap--it's unique and I'll save 11.88! I'll probably pass on Arcee (the one from the first movie line is fine for me) and Swerve (unless he gets a new head mold too--I generally stay away from straight repaints) but I like the rest!

Given that the figure turns into a TV news helicopter, and given the semicircular attachments for the rotor blades, I think Hasbro somehow managed to get one four-bladed rotor to split in two.

I totally agree with you on this. Something I find interesting - they do a repaint of 'Swipe and opt for Swerve? Why not Sunstreaker? To me, that would have been the logical choice as the first repaint. Are they maybe saving Sunstreaker for TF3? Now that would be freaking excellent!

Blaze Master looks awesome!

The Ice Cream twins are silly, but I think I'm actually more likely to buy them than I am to buy the other versions - the green and red ones. I'm curious to see what the alt mode looks like; I assume they combine, which would be cool (no pun intended).

I literally feel nauseous after having looked at those photos.

Blade Master looks cool but needs a better name.

What exactly is Ravages alt mode supposed to be anyway?. Looks good though.

Jolt looks like he will be on my to get list.

I don't like Arcee very much, I will only get her if the combined mode does look good.

OMGICECREAMTRUCKCOMBINERAWESOMEMUSTHAVE

arcee is definatly mistransformed, she looks to compact down a lot moe like chromia. dead end looks better in that colorscheme, but that diffrent head is kinda akward.

OKay I know I'm going to be villified for saying this but I have to:

I'm really enjoying this line. As robots, the TF's are able to do things that normal humanoids can't normally do. Arcee looks like she is able to rotate 360 degrees at the waist, allowing for different firing angles while maintaining forward movement. The wheels for their feet is also a logical extension. Humanoids can only move as fast as their legs can pump back and forth; with wheels as feet, they can dramatically increase their speed and agility. The perfect example there are roller skates/blades and ice skates. With a minimum of action you can move with more speed and agility than normally. Hasrbo, Bay, and ILM are finally starting to incorporate the true capabiilities of robotic life forms into the Transformers, creating extremely unique and different robots- much different than we've ever seen before. And it's getting the typical human response- "different is EVIL!!" Maybe it took an outsider like Bay to come up with these ideas...who knows. I think kids are going to enjoy the figs- which is really all that matters as they still provide for 95% of sales.

As for the individual figs, Arcee could have been done better. I don't really like her colors. Do we have any word on the name for the third bike yet? Jolt looks awesome, though i think the legs are mistransformed. Repaints already? Greeeaaattt. Blaze Master looks awesome and the twins look fantastic. One thing on those two: is each figure deluxe sized, meaning the vehicle mode is more Voyager sized? Or do they come in a two-pack of scout-sized figs that make a deluxe sized vehicle? All in all, I love this line

The Alt mode for JOLT is ugly, its to much shine through plastic no firm body... just dont like it. Hope the movie version looks better...

The Decepticons combine to form Devastator and the Autobots turn out an ice cream truck and Glowworm Arcee. I hope they get their @$$3$ handed to them

Well I am getting Swerve just to call Sideswipe (if he doesn't show up in the movie) The ice cream truck twins because there has never been an ice cream truck TF and I don't care who they are, that's just freakin awesome. Jolt looks pretty cool and I will get Arcee and Chromia to see what this combine form will turn out to be.

While I, personally, may agree with some of your comments I'd have to say that yeah, you probably will be villified, maybe even violated...aw hell, at the first sign of the mob with torches bolt for your back door and don't stop till you can't hear the yelling anymore.

Myself, I can't believe that I am actually at a loss for words. I've already used up most of my cynical and derisive comments the first few go-arounds of Wheelie and Jolt/Mudflap bashing. It's cool that we are getting the Sideswipe repaint but at the same time pisses me off that they renamed it rather than doing the G1 tribute thing like they did with Target excls. Jazz and Starscream.
Hasbro should have just saved themselves a lot of time and effort and just put their forward-most appendage in the path of a heavy metal door and slammed it over and over. I'm starting to feel about the Movie line the same way I felt about TFA. I have only 1 TFA dlx. figure and that was a Christmas present. Even the figures I was liking before from this movie line are starting to disinterest me just because the rest of the line is becoming such a downer.
First the TF Universe line started to nose-dive and now this...soon Go-Bots are going to start looking good!

I've got to say as little as I liked the first Movie design I like these even less.

so far the only things I see myself picking up are:
Sideswipe, and Swerve. This is one time the mold is good enough and the repaint well though out enough that it warrants a double purchase.

Ravage Looks fairly interesting. More Interesting than Scorponok did in the last move line.

Maybe Dead End, just for the Audi Alt mode.

Leader Prime if and only if I find him ion clearance.

And Starscream, when he gets repainted.

Other than that, I just don't like the one wheel instead of feet idea. And the Humongous blaster arm motif on many of them.

Is the concept of a "hand" so obsolete to an alien robot species that they'd rather just blast away anything they come into close proximity with rather than attempt to grab it or pick it up?

Geez. I may be just getting old, but I lie my robots to be humanoid. Arms, legs, guns. Not some wheeled freak that can't actually stand.

That Ice Cream Truck is the 'Buried Treasure' of the Movie Franchise.

To whoever it was that asked, the bot modes look to be Scout class sized by the hips presented in the bot modes, so the alt mode would be Deluxe sized... The pair, together, also have the Deluxe class price point...

To me, they are a Must Have. Them and the Poopy Keychain [PU-OP]...
Damn, forgot about HA BBee.

I guess I can give Hasbro, my $40-$50 this time...

[Edit- -Unedited, question answered in other thread...]

Well, there's a 1 definite and a couple maybes in there.

Swerve shall join my ranks as an actual red Sideswipe.

Sideswipe will become Tracks, until a better substitute arrives.

Dead End and Sideways are maybes...I don't really collect Dead Ends, but I do have the Alt one, and this one's better than I expected.

Smokescreen is still a big maybe, but I may just pick him up for the homage.

And it's a shame Jetfire's bot mode is so fugly, that's a damn fine alt mode. Doesn't look anything like Jetfire of course, but it's cool.

Same with the seekers, I'd love to have another trio but they're just so dang ugly.

Greenatron and maybe even The Fallen would be okay too, if they weren't green.

So I guess that's 4 figures I will definitely get from this line, and 2 maybes.

The ice cream twins look better than the other version.

now i know why micheal bay wants to kill arcee in the movie...

Lol... Mercy killing.

Arcee looks like a piece of crap

Blaze Master? Really guys? wonder what they were doing when they thought that name. Its a cool looking figure so ill be getting it. Also like Deadend, Jolt, Ravage, Barricade, and Swereve. Swerve is Becoming sideswipe and im renaming Sideswipe Sunstreaker. The rest are purely fails. And i mean epic fails. The Icecream Truck is the worst one yet. It looks like 2 ewoks decided to jump on each others backs and throw a cardboard box over them selves. And i dont know what they hell they were thinking when they made Arcee. Its a snake bot.

WOOO!!! ICE CREAM TRUCK!!!

Arcee looks likes ass IMHO..

The twins look promising.

I will most likely pass on this line (more for everyone else).

I'm still holding on to the hope that Arcee, Chromia, and the other bike are going to have a combined robot form (with legs).

Wheelie - whatever, I'll probably wind up getting him anyway

Interagator Barricade - don't want

Cannon Bumblebee - I'll take the other one

Blaze Master - cool, new guy. Wonder if he's in the flick

Ravage - GIMME!

Jolt - not bad

Skids & Mudflap (ice cream truck mode) - MAJOR LOL!!!

Dead End - Oooh, he's awesome. Could he be the Audi R8 instead of Sideways?

Arcee - They made the red one her? Then who's the pink one?

Swerve - Nice redeco. This'll make the Geewunners both happy and upset

Has anyone else noticed the lack of paint apps in some of these pictures? And on some pictures not shown here, for that matter.

For example, all the pictures I've seen of Sideways have the entire torso block in a solid piece of red plastic, without any detail paint apps on it. The same thing seems to have happened to the twins, at least in robot mode.

My question is, is that permanent, or are these still just prototype pictures? Because mind you, dead end seems to have paint apps where Sideways is missing them.

They all look terribly weird. although I do have a liking for the two ice-cream truck guys.

alright, Blaze Master looks sweet since he is a News chopper, Dead End, kind of looks better than Sideways but im liking Sideways more, The Twins icecream truck mode is just priceless and hard NOT to buy it, as thats on top of my list, Jolt looks badass but the legs look mistranformed, and finally Arcee.....WTF has Hasbro done to her?!?! i just finished Transformers:ROTF: Alliance and i honestly thought at the end she was the purple bike as she will look like her movie1 toy since her protoform looks the same as her figure but her ROTF form is terrible, looks like she went through a spacebridge but half her body didnt make it back...but i doubt the 3 bikes will combine but if so, they would look pretty sweet

damn it you're right... just saw the alt-mode over at TFW2005... still he bears a HUGE resemblance to the legends springer... who knows...

someone said it earlier in the thread, and i agree with robots having hands and the ability to stand on their own.......a good thing. i have no use for the twins, also. Sideswipe/Swerve is really looking like one of the very very few movie toys I will be getting. it is just an uninteresting line to me, so far. I do think these designs should look good on the big screen though, and I look forward to watching the movie. maybe I will just buy the dvd when it comes out and pass on the toys.
