Heaps of RPMs/Speedstars figures (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/official-images-of-upcoming-transformers-toys--speed-stars-stealth-force-crossovers-and-more-170359/)(Minivehicles, Lights & Sounds, Powerbots, Stealthforce) and the Ironman Marvel TFs wave, direct from Hasbro to the global fansites.

The Diecast minivehicle redecos look hideous... is it really necessary to appease retailer demands for 'new' stock if it means losing customers to the Brand?
Hasbro really need to compromise on their retailer requirements, so that they don't get stuck with shelf-warming ugly redecos, that ultimately prevent retailers from ordering more stock. Especially in the non-US countries that are more expensive, which already has parents/kids more discerning of toy purchases, and collectors more critical of variants/redecos.

What's with Stealthforce? They don't transform all the way to a robot, do they? :rolleyes: seems like a load of plastic rubbish compared to actual transformers.

Looking forward to not buying any of these. :)

I'd not checked out these pictures before as the gimmick didn't interest me. I saw them in stores for the first time today and was really surprised to see a new version of Classics Hound on sale! Not interested in buying, but interested to see such a thing.

New Classics Hound? Was he still green? I am most curious.

Those stealth force things remind me of the old M.A.S.K toys. Might be prone towards a Soundwave, but that's about it I think.

A classics Hound in this line is what I meant. Basically the classics Hound toy with pop out weapons instead of a robot mode.
