ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[Elder_Predator2]

A lot of figures were shown in the panel, but there were to be no pics diuring the panel of the new figures, lockdown, Starscream, Deluxe Ratchet, Bludgeon, and maybe other new figures/ Hasbro says that if pics are taken they wil be removed from the net and that there wont be any new pics of things in the Botcon panels again.

I am hoping that he is revealed at SDCC 09!

I'm looking forward to seeing the Movieverse version of Lockdown as he's one of my favorite Animated characters and it'll be intresting to see if the Deluxe Ratchet looks any better in robot mode than the Voyager which is kinda meh.

So no pictures for now...

I have another question:

Are there any rumors of more Movie Leader-Class figures besides Starscream?
I would love to have a Blackout/Grindor, since he is the biggest Transformer besides Devastator, if I'm right...

I never bought the first movie Voyager Blackout, because although I did like his design, he was just way to small...

 

[Elder_Predator2]

No more Movie leaders planned.....

What do people think of Leader Megatron? I don't understand why they went with that crappy looking grey plastic. Even the non-transforming Megatron toy for kids has a way better paint job. If they had used silver paint like on Sideswipe he would look much better.

Honestly, I like the Premium Series Megatron from the first movie. Plus he was baddass.

Since my wife was at walmart today while I was at work, I got her to pick me up the exclusive Skywarp and Ramjet. Since Thrust was announce being a repaint of deluxe Breakaway the only missing seeker from the G1 theme is Dirge. Sucks that they didn't keep him as the voyager class.

Look who was waiting on my doorstep when I got home. I haven't had a chance to transform him or anything yet, but I'll have to say he looks pretty damn cool for an old guy.

 

[darkknight]

Congrats man, does Jetfire have an Autobot or Decepticons insignia on him?

 

[DarthNeil]

Can Jetfire's parts be added to the Leader Optimus?...

Not as exciting as the new Jetfire pics I thought I'd take some pics of my collection to update. Here's my Transformer lot (minus all of the original G1 stuff that's in storage).



A focus on the T2 bad guys that I've grabbed so far (and I noticed afterwards that my original G1 Megatron and Soundwave are on the lower shelf-- I must have taken them out of storage and forgot to put them back).



And some of the good guys (with an Arcee that was released from the last movie batch).

I just transformed Jetfire into his jet mode, and it was pretty frustrating. It's not really a difficult transformation in the sense that it's easy to tell what you're supposed to do. But every time I got one section in place, another one would get out of place. It looks good as a jet from above, but from the side or bottom, it basically looks like a robot clinging to a plane. Still, it's impressively large. And yes, he does combine with Optimus. Going to try that next.

Awesome. Please take a couple of pics.

Jetfire has decpticons signs on him. Remember, he is one.

Yeah I know, but why does the box have him as an Autobot then? Glad they kept the Decepticon insignia on the toy tho.

Any new updates on your customs?

Yes. Coming out in fall 2010. Those who saw the prototype at the Hasbro panel said that he's as complicated as Leader Prime with proportions matching that of the RotF promo art and a perfectly smooth altmode. He has unfolding missile launchers on his arms and supposedly even an opening and closing mouth! Definately has me excited, I can't wait for pics of it, I just wish it wasn't so long off.

woah wait fall 2010 why so long i would understand winter 2009 but next fall come on man thats way to long for a toy to come out ,the dvd would even be seven dollars by then.

He defected to the autobots, just like Wheelie. The decepticon symbols are partially scraped off his wings, but I'm not sure if it's because he's old or because he defected.

Anyway, here's a picture of his jet mode.

I also did the combo thing. It's a little tricky in places, but once you get them together they're relatively stable. They are huge! I positioned his wings a bit differently than they show in the instructions, since I think it looks better.

Just a note to everyone purchasing a Human Alliance Bumblebee. Make sure to double check you are actually getting a Human Alliance version. I went to K-mart today to look for them but saw that someone had replaced it with a Deluxe Bumblebee and it had still had the Sam figure there. At first it looked authentic but then realized that it was a Deluxe version. I was able to buy a real one at Toysrus though and got a $10 gift card. Just just be aware

I was being a smart ass.

He defected to the autobots, just like Wheelie. The decepticon symbols are partially scraped off his wings, but I'm not sure if it's because he's old or because he defected.

He and Wheelie both switched over to the Autobots. The symbols on his wings are scratched due to age, or so I think. I remember that he had a symbol on the bottom of the fuselage as well. He was an awesome guy though.

Great pictures icruise. I like his combined mode, it just seems to be kind of bulky. Still, can't wait to get it and pose him and what not.

is there a site that shows better robot to vehicle and vise versa directions? i couldnt follow the in box directions if my life depended on it

 

[icruise]

Go to Youtube and type in the name of the figure you want to know about, and there will be lots of reviews of it that show the transformation. The instructions are terrible.

 

[viper12383]

i swear im gonna break this freakin thing! anyone have deluxe bumblebee? in the video it shows the hood become whole when you bring the front bumper over his head and the kid mentions something about it being automorph. mine doesnt do that. it stays split.

edit: ok idk what i did but i accidentally popped his head off so i had to lower the bumper again to reattach it and now it works fine
