Transformers ROTF Toyline

Started by Sadako of Girth3 pages

Oh how are all those GMC cars doing now....?

😂

Serves 'em right for the association with the dark one, Michael Bay.

Hopefully they'll abandon those designs now and let their earth modes be cool at last...... Will Bumblebee be able to be the form now that he vandalised in the 1st movie...? 😉

Sucks that Bumblebee can't even be a VW since they don't want to be affiliated with TF's.

Lucky really, cause the potential to explore it or a similar model in a future G1 project could continue.

The saving grace of Bay insisting on the new looks, is that when the trilogy is all done, people wouldn't have to pay Bay's lot for shit.

I know that the Bumblebee is synonymous with the VW bug, but his vehicle mode (Camaro) is actually one of my favorite.

Well another reason why G1 rules: No restrictive political bullshit.

I will admit that I actually like Bumblebee's new mode, but think it would have been a more suitable body type for Jazz or Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen.

Not being able to use the VW likeness means we'll probably never get an MP-Bumblebee.

You'll hate me for it but ive never really liked G1.
Yeah you guys do but i just never have.
Anyway ROTF Toyline yes Scythe i made a mistake that leader Starscream and Voyager Bonecrusher was May 2007!
Apparently Human Alliance Bumblebee is avaiable at Argos in UK at end of the week.

Question/Proporstion
Who prefers the toyline like it is
or
Say Blackout is leader cause he was biggest and they did the classes about size order.
Might be a good idea.

Dude, don't sweat it. I respect the G1 line, but I don't collect it, nor do I go out of my way to find G1 originals. I like articulation in my figures, so I go for the classics/universe line. I have a G2 Prime, hardly fiddle with it. It was given to me as a gift, and I keep it next to my MP-Prime as a nice gesture of nostalgia. I'd rather someone else who grew up with G1 get a G1 toy than me, they'll respect it and honor it more than I. I grew up with RiD. It wasn't that good, but it had the greatest Decepticon/Transformer ever imo, freakin' Scourge/Black Convoy!!! I never really like Beast Wars, but it has a big ass fanbase. I respect that too.

I like this ROTF toyline because it blends an Alternators sort of feel along with an almost MP feel. I just bought Leader Prime, he's extremely detailed, my god!

As for your question, I'm not sure I understand it. If we are indeed getting a Leader Starscream, I'm more than happy, cuz he's one of my favorites. I liked his goat-legged, gorilla chested, alien looking F-22, and if they do a good a job as they did on Leader Prime, then oh my, that's a spicy meatball.

Got a good haul in today as gifts from a few fans, family, and friends. As well as a few that I bought. Here's what I got.

Sideways: He's a freakin' Audi! *Drools*

Sideswipe: Concept Corvette, looks so nice, and I love his rollarblade feet and scissor arms.

Leader Prime: He's just, godly. He's pretty tall, and looks so goddamn screen-accurate.

Dead End: I bought this guy cuz he just looks like a cute, lil' creepy ass bastard of a RC car.

Starscream: I have the old voyager that was quite chunky, but this new one is so goddamn thin, just like an F-22, and the tattoos he has on his body make it look wicked, love it!

Robot Replicas Starscream: Again, I collect starscreams from all over, so had to pick this guy up. He looks screen-accurate, and it's posable, quite neat.

Gravity-Bots Starscream: This is just the cutest little F-22 jet I've ever seen, it's so cute, it's disgusting. He's also the simplest bot to transform, the whole GB line is just so full of stress-relieving fun!

Finally, I bought Gravity Bots Bumblebee and Deluxe Bumblebee for my fiance as a surprise, hopin' she doesn't read this, haha. They're both good, it's just that Deluxe BB has the biggest "WHO GOES THERE?!?!" eyes I have ever seen on a character, and I watched a lot of Scooby-Doo.

Did they confirm at botcon a leader starscream? I remember reading it in one of the threads but don't recall if hasbro said it was a possibility or they were actually planning it.

wat i meant was blackout is/was the largest transformers wasn't he.
forget the classes and make them about size comparison.
Blackout largest toy then like megatron and starscream cause they were the biggest. Jazz was the smallest so he is the smallest toy.
Cause at the moment Blackout is smaller than megatron on the toyline
but is bigger than him in the movie.
Do you get me now? 😄

It's not greenlit yet. My sources tell me it's a possability, nothing is certain yet.

Oh, I see. Many people want a Leader Blackout, for size comparison, however, the fact that

Spoiler:
his character might not even be in the sequel, limits his chances of getting a leader sized bot.

Just looked at info from BotCon 2009 they showed a prototype of leader Starscream Here it is:
11:20 LEADER STARSCREAM

11:21 utterly amazing prototype, hidden missiles, spot on to how he looks in the movie, amazing jet mode, you guys will love this one

Yeah, saw it myself. We were told not to say, but I guess the info is everywhere now. It does look amazing.

Do want, also.

And once you've easily removed the battle damage, there'd be no difference between your 20th anniversary Prime and the Japanese release. (apart from the grey blaster of the Japanese edtion)

Mine didn't come with battle damage, it was the dvd edition.

We weren't allowed to take pictures nor take in video cameras. Usually someone sneaks in a pic to show people, but no one did this year. I will show pics as soon as they surface though.
