Convertible Sideswipe and the fire truck [sentinel Prime?] are my only confirmed buys. While Voyager Megs looks interesting, I'm still holding out for a Leader class fig. Ditto Shockwave. I'll pick up Skids only because he's a cheap fig and I'm a completionist. I'll make a decision on Barricade when I see better pics of his bot mode properly transformed. The chopper looks interesting.

Wouldn't touch voyager DOTM OP with a ten-foot pole, and the deluxe Wreckers look sorely under-equipped compared the pics we've seen of the cars in the movie set. Pass on SS, since I've already got the leader class.

Really conflicted about Ironhide, though. I love his Top-kick altmode, but the peg holes on his roof and sides really ruin it. And what's with the downsizing?! I almost thought he was a deluxe in Peaugh's review until he showed the deluxe version next to the voyager.

BTW, is that Ratchet in alt mode between convertible Sideswipe and Barricade? Is he a new voyager mold [downsized like Ironhide] or a deluxe?

Overall, I absolutely loathe mech-tech as a gimmick for putting peg holes on the alt modes.

I had to watch this more than twice...

Is Ironhide fighting a clone of himself?

nope, it's Crankcase

so, is optimus still flying around with jetfire's corpse or is that a new jet pack he has?

probably something new. gotta sell more toys after all.

Finally, a PROPER Decepticon invasion.

I like the darker tone of the DOTM trailer--Bumblebee in dispair, giant ships firing at buildings, tentacle monsters and dragons, etc. While it's no guarantee of a better storyline, at least it should be an indication of less dorky humor than ROTF.

nope, it's Crankcase

The head sculpt of the other one looks like Barricade [the one on the right of the screen after the collision, during transformation]. Several others at Seibertron have also mentioned that it looks like 'Cade.

EDIT: Yeah, it's crankcase. It looked like 'Cade's police car alt mode when I first saw it; second view confirms it's an SUV. My bad.

Nice, we'll get good roboporn alongside the doggy porking.

Looks to me like Jetfires corpse gets slowly stripped out of Prime while he is handing out his brand of wupass.

I see robo birdie :D (always liked it better that the robo cat from the cartoon).

And looks like they still reuse old models. That must be the third time the tank decepticon gets killed.

And Devistator is back too. Even though he was killed off.

utimate prime looks like ass, a big step backwards from leader RotF prime and the combined mode is pure garbage.

oh, that's so bad. It's like a crappy Happy meal version of Armada Prime. :(

I was really liking the DotM toys till this one.

Pretty stoked about this new trailer. The footage of Prime looks especially awesome, hopefully they keep him alive through this entire flick. I really don't like how Prime always seems to die, he's like Zero dying in every other Megaman X game.

So in short, keep Prime alive, nix the dog humping and I think we may have our best TF movie to date (animated excluded of course)

A little torn about the fig. It looks good enough in alt mode, except for the fact that the truck looks a little flattened than a real Peterbilt, something made even more obvious when towing the trailer. DISCLAIMER: I can't recall if the truck looks this small compared to the trailer, but it does look like a midget here. Will have to recheck the old pics of the DOTM movie set to verify this.

The bot mode looks more gaunt than the ROTF leader class, and unless OP's transformation in DOTM has changed, the toy looks quite different from the CG--front wheel kibble is now located on his arms, and the front of the truck just lazily splits into two. I'm just glad the windscreen on this one actually converts into his chestplate.

The combined mode seems to suffer from articulation problems like ROTF "power up" Optimus. The knees don't look like they'd bend when combined with the trailer. As for the combined mode itself...it's just underwhelming. Come on Hasbro, four wings and a pair of bronze horn things?

At least it's better than the OP we were shown a few weeks earlier.

Hope this isn't the leader class I've been waiting for.

trailer should be narrower, truck should be taller.

Oh come on people, "the trailer looks great therefore the film is going to be great"????

REALLY???

The ROTF trailers looked pretty cool too. Its called advertising, and when it comes to films, the filmmakers are allowed to be deceptive.
