it looks like damage like perhaps boom stick damage?
Starscream has been known to come back from the dead or survive things he should not.

Well yeah ... for starters, most of the car companies will provide the vehicles to be used for filming so that saves money as opposed to paying someone to design and then build the vehicles.
Plus people will watch the movie and go "oooo I like that car! Ima gonna go buy one!" So that's even more incentive for them to use licensed vehicles.
But in all fairness, they have had variety with movie vehicles, we've had tanks, planes, construction vehicles, home appliances, vending machines ...

Or it could be just a facial expression. Wouldn't be the first in the Dino Riders part of the Construct-Bots line.

I was thinking he was just doing his best impersonation of DC's "The Weird"

Yeah but did he actually die in that episode?
no he did not so there is my point.

They HAD a nice variety of alts, but now they don't. The first movie really gave the impression that anything could be a robot in disguise, but now it's like "look at the custom $2 million dollar car Ferrari hand-delivered to me!" Bah.
[snark] If only Bay got as exited to sell the robots as he does the cars...

Besides cars we do get our first live action Dump-truck transformer (Junkheap)
and Military Autobot (Hound)

And another moment when Tessa in trapped in those ropes or electric wires I am not sure , at very high and Bumblebee jumps to salve them. So in those moment just pass by an F-22 one more time.
So... MAYBE He is really back. Let`s wait and see.

well they wont would have to work that hard to fix him. his body was intact. he just needs some work on his head and they need to figure out how actual transformations work. not sure if stinger is the only one that transforms like that but i hope he is. dont really like the new method

Yeah in fact the only major damage Scream suffered in that scene was the loss of his eyesight and only a small part of his head was blown off (the left side which in this toy has the weird eye)
one of his arms falling off along with one of his back boosters and thats it.
Shockwave also has a toy in this line according to leaked lists (this starscream was also in said list)
only damage he suffered was the loss of his eye sight then getting a chunk of his side unched out and finally getting his eye torn out.
If Bay wants too he can bring them back like he did Megatron in Rotf
and plus Ratchet is only getting a kreo toy and we know he is in the movie and as of far they don't make up characters for the movie sub lines only the main line
and even then for this movie since they are generations they are sharing with the G1 generations there for there can be no room for made up characters and also one of the guys at Hasbro said fir Gen all of the characters in that line will be in the movie.

Really though, I'm digging that color scheme. Hope that sticks around.

They could bring them back, but is it in their best interest? It's already hard enough to put down a Transformer for good (Allspark fragment, Matrix of Leadership etc.) without the whole "we'll rebuilt them with nanite technology" added in to cheapen death.
It's comic book storytelling like that which makes people not believe in perma-death. It's why Megatron's death in the first had no resonance and Optimus's Death in the second had no dramatic weight; we knew they'd get better.
Jsyk, I'm not trying to attack your suggestions, just to discuss what's in the story's best interest.

That Prime looks AWESOME - exactly what collectors have been wanting out of this mold.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Slug fits into the more tradition style of animal based Transformer. Bend it over and fiddle with the limbs for beast mode. There is some charm to it but I feel it's one of the weaker kits. Drift impresses like all the other Dino Riders and I recommend it over Slug.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:I went in expecting a straight repaint of Grimlock with maybe a few new parts but Slash is an entirely new mold that I feel is one of the best Constructbot sets we've gotten thus far. Hound is my personal favorite Dino Rider and I really think the way his gun integrates into vehicle mode is fantastic.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Strafe is probably the most unique of the Dinobot builds we've gotten thus far, but weak joints make it difficult to support its weight in Dino mode. Bumblebee like the other Riders is a fun build and a great figure. I would recommend Bumblebee over Strafe or just wait for a deal on the set.

My take on him reappearing, is that we've seen no characters that aren't going to be in the movie. Even though there probably won't be alot, we'll probably get a few new characters. However Starscream isn't a new character, so we shouldn't just cast him as a toy only character.
Galvatron looks great though, if backwards

Looks like Hasbro will be releasing one too

I'm not sure about the others, but that's definitely DOTM Crankcase on the left.
What that means for the rest of the figures, I don't know.

A rereleased Dread from DOTM, which will be used to replicate Savoy's vehicle in the Optimus hunt. (there were rumors that the Dreads make an appearance in the movie, but so far we've seen nothing to substantiate that. Hasbro's only including a transformable version of the vehicle so the boxset will sell.)
The other is the Sonic RS that Shane has in the film. It's Hot Shot, apparently. BotCon seems to have spoiled a hidden plot point for the upcoming film, or he transforms as a toy only and remains just a vehicle in the film. We'll find out in about a week.

Of course it may be the same Crankcase put on display a few years back, but still, a big oops

A dread might return because people saw the car with Galvatron and Stinger

I would totally get this is Dread's nails aren't trimmed.

The "ultimate" grimlock were getting also uses the metal pins in the simplified toys. When you have one "ride" him in dinosaur mode it unlocks new sounds and stuff.

don't let a few reports fool you.. DMK's are the GREATEST thing that EVER happened to the movie characters.
DMK prime is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE piece of merch from the movies.. out of all of the toys, games, and whatever else, DMK prime is EASILY the best. hands down.
if it was possible, i wish they made DMK's for every character. and my entire movie collection could be displayed like this.
it will never happen, but it'd be a dream come true.
as for this prime.. i'm SOOO happy that it's just about the same size as the previous DMK prime. and it'll definitely be standing in my collection in place of AOE leader prime.
i just wish this thing was more accurate/more detailed. it looks like there's going to be far less parts on this than the previous version had, which is a shame because putting DMK prime together was VERY fun.
but still, i can't wait to get this, and i can't wait to see the finished/colored version.. i can't wait to see all of the chrome in the right places lol.

i'm so excited for this.. i REALLY REALLY hope we get another autobot and AT LEAST one bad guy.. namely lockdown.
i'd be happy with prime and drift, lockdown and stinger... or lockdown and galvatron.
also, it'd be REALLY REALLY REALLY AWESOME to get a couple of the dinobots in scale.. in their dino modes... or hell, even their robot modes would be cool.
i just love these things and wish there were more.
