New ROTF toy!

looks mistranformed but an interesting design. Original molds for the new movie line is always good, especially if they have some screen time.

I just noticed, damn that dude has huge hands!
He could crush his own head with them.

It seems we are again gonna see a number of toy characters that again don't mkae the movie...ethier that or a movie with a ton of robot smackdown action. I would think this would be Scourge (scince we already have Cyclonus coming to us via the Universe/Classics line)

Once more the Heralds of Unicron shall unite to TERRORIZE! *ominous lightning and thunder cracks thru the sky*

So the Destroyer from Battleship turns into MC Hammer?

Looks like those shoeformers from last year.

So we are getting all the new Real Gear type figures. I wonder if these are all sequel video game characters.

So far we have seen as Deluxes Bumblebee SS and Soundwave, which I suspect might both be preview figures.

Then as scouts we have the red car, the little truck, the forklift, the motorcycle, and now the boat.

Plus we had the legends we saw (Prime, JetFire, and soemthing else?).

I can't wait to see some actual voyager or larger actual character figures.

Some of these scouts look pretty detailed.

Some of these scouts look pretty detailed.

i hope we get to see some of the prominent toys characters. like the new optimus, or more of the bumblebee, or megatron's new form and possibly some concept art of devastator. COME ON! MORE THAN JUST THE SCOUTS! anyone with me on that?

Does he have four legs? I don’t think he’s terribly mis-transformed.

I was going to not get so many movie figures this go around, but with stuff this cool I’m not sure I can resist. I’m impressed so far.

Dancin' Seaspray!

Bet it gets painted blue and yellow and called Seaspray at some point.
Looks good, though. Think Hasbro finally learned how to make non-crappy boat altmodes. It took them this long to get decent motorcycles too.

TIDALWAVE!!!!

Nightboat!! The crime solving boat...

Why does everyone assume they last few proto-types are scouts?

Until we get official word as to who they are and what size they are I wouldn't count them as scouts just yet. I would say this one and the bike have a good chance of being deluxe figures.

I love the look of proto-type resin figures. I remember the first time I ever saw Classics Astrotrains proto-type. Amazing. The paint job made it great too, but I hope for the fans sake the paint jobs on these don't suck hard like the other three we've seen painted.

This one: I am positively going to buy it !

I much prefer these Basic alt modes to the Real Gear stuff. That said, I'm still looking at taking the year off to catch up on my vintage stuff. The Movie designs are annoying.

Most scouts are rather nice that we've seen for ROTF. I've got to admit, I like well-designed Scouts and if they can make a lot more Scouts then any other class, I'd be happy to because the price point for them is just right. Deluxe is getting expensive and anything higher is out of my range quite a lot of the time.

I don't know if I buy that this one is Scout Class...
It seems awfully detailed with lots of joints.
I don't care if it is, but I'm still questioning it.

Whoever transformed that is special.

Im cool with Scouts for now. If we see them early on, all the better.

Besides, we dont need more Cybertron repaints...gah

I have a feeling that this one wont be in the movie. It looks to good.

Already see some problems at the knees with this guy not being able to stand on his own two feet without flopping around like he is having a seizure of some sort

I am a big fan of the movie line and have liked the ones we have seen so far (I don't plan on getting figures for repeat characters though--I only need one Bumblebee, etc.). And Scouts are definitely good for the wallet!

Although, this one does look like a possible Deluxe.

So glad the Scout class is back.

This is the second thread where someone says the Scout Class has poor detailing. I don't agree with this at all. The only class I've seen with poor detailing is the awful Legends class.

There's been some great Scouts over the years like Strongarm (and that axe!!!), Arcee, Ransack and Divebomb. I only wish they gave us the unrealised yet obvious repaints like Divebomb/Banzai-tron and Swerve/Hot Rod.

And as for the years to get a cool motorbike comment? G1 Afterburner is still the best TF motorcycle ever. Like G1 Override and Cybertron Ransack too. In fact the only bike I don't like is Cybertron Lugnut, oh and Wreck-gar.

Any pics of the Scout Forklift and Motorcycle? Hadn't heard of them until now.

Would love a Scout version of Bumblebee and Barricade.

Yeah, I've been hoping for this. Downsizing a few key characters would solve a lot of scale issues. It'd also give us a decent excuse to get yet another movie Bumblebee figure, and give Hasbro a new mold to repaint a zillion times.

Tidalwave or Seaspray perhaps? Or maybe they'll just smack a random name on it, who knows.

By the way, that Scout class forklift we saw recently, I'm betting that it's part of Devastator.

BEST ONE I SEEN YET !!!

I thought that combining devastator was going to be drones like Energon Prime!

The fact that it's a Scout and there doesn't seem to be connecting points seem to indicate that it's not a part of Devastator.

I hereby dub thee "Crazylegs".

Seems to have a better transformation than Thunderblast, not as blatantly Shellfo, but I hope those legs are mistransformed/posed badly.

Neat bot...VERY badly mistransformed. I can see that the waist is backwards at the very least. I suspect he has reverse-joint knees (here we see him stretching after a hard workout)...

My money is on Seaspray. I think they'd make Tidal Wave a bigger bot if they were to make him. It's nice to see some naval TF's too...it's an area of vehicle modes that IMHO has been largely neglected over the years.

The boat alt reminds me of my shoeformers...

very nice, altho are we sure its a scout? looks a little bigger to me like a deluxe

If he was transformed right, I could tell if I like him or not.

Considering that there's upwards of 7 vehicles in this Devastator(depending who you listen to), I don't think the small size class matters. I have a feeling they might use differnet size classes for different parts anyway. Also, with that amount of constructicons, why would they want to add extra non-Devastator construction toys to the line.

That there doesn't seem to be connecting points might just be that they've done a good job. At this point, I don't claim to know one way or another, but I hope that they'll do scout versions of at least some of the onscreen characters. It'd be ideal for something like Dispensor.

Homage factor, maybe. Didn't we hear that the construction vehicles in the movie will have different colours than the traditional green and purple, or something a while back?

Granted, the connection points could just be done in the oldschool way (like G1 Dev's hip unit), but I'm not sure what a little dude like this would do combined with the larger guys. Would he become a kneecap? There's not much bulk to this guy, after all.

By the way, I'm not calling you out or trying to hate on you, Bumblethumper, I'm just putting my theories out there, that's all. Sorry if I come off sounding confrontational.

Who said you were? It's just a standard point-counterpoint exchange.

Regarding colour, yeah they're supposed to be different colours this time, but that doesn't mean an individual one of them can't be green. He could be the head, or a hand, or just add bulk. Either way, I don't have a stake in it, I just hope the final product is worth the wait and the money. Forklift scout guy is cool whether he's part of Devastator or not.

Bumblethumper wrote:Forklift scout guy is cool whether he's part of Devastator or not.

QFT!

Do these guys know how to pose their Transformers or what?

Alt mode looks pretty nice though, lots of great detailing.

This is the first one I've seen that I really like. The other look like left overs from the animated line to me! Dirt boss looks pretty cool too but has hand issues . . . . .

I'm getting old and crotchety about these things.

The fact that the last of my movie-line dedicated shelves is slated for packing-away to create shelf space is not moving my money towards this line thus far.

i like the look of this guy, i hope that he is actually a deluxe, but i'll still buy him anyway!

He looks really cool! I wonder if he'll be an Autobot or a Decepticon???
