I'm not feeling it at all unfortunately, but I'll likely buy him over Ravage.

Oh god... call me an idiot, but I like the cell phone bot. Maybe it's just because it reminds me of a Microman thing...

I didn't link to either the Cell Phone, Camera, or Handheld Game system guys because I'm still not sure if they're really supposed to be for the movie, and I do like them.


Tycho's right, there's a LOT of stuff under Starscream's wings there, it's an offensive amount IMO.


More movie protos...

There's something patently offensive about that Megatron LOC-style fig.

The video game controller, cell phone bot, etc. are all part of a movie spoiler I know of. PM or something if you're really concerned.

Megatron looks bad. He almost had me thinking that Michael Bay confused Megatron and Cyclonus!

Optimus Prime looked better. He didn't have the huge long-nose in the middle of his chest as that one picture (in error I believe) showed on some magazine cover.

Someone added music to the movie trailer and thought the larger TF crowd was in this thread and might enjoy this. It includes Peter Cullen's voice at the end:

was in a dollar store tonight and saw Bootleg Transformers in their toy section. they were titled Transformatrix and the figure were of Optimus Prime in two different truck modes. hey for $1 each I picked them up. have to say not bad for a buck but no worth much more. will post picks when I get the chance.

just take extra caution when handling those bootlegs as they tend to be made of really, really cheap plastic. i have a bootleg G1 Devastator that i haven't touched for years for fear that it'll spontaneously crumble

My brother has a knockoff Optimus from a "Dollar Tree Store." There were two types, a red and yellow one. Hes has the red one. Its not a bad looking knockoff, it looks like Optimus. The front is in red chrome, and the rest is black plastic. It even has a replica of Optimus' gun. My brother gave him the grand name of "Dollarbot."

I like that.

Why is Prime an asteroid with headlights?

[plasticfetish]

Kids don't want those. Kids want a truck or a jet that transform into a robot. What the hell kind of play value do those things have? (Optimus transforms into something you can throw... into the trash.)
