2 Possible NEW DOTM Leader Class Figures

awesome. now they get a chance to put out a more screen accurate dotm megs at the leader scale. hope they get megs' proportion right as well. the head on the voyager one looks way too small without the poncho and arms too scrawny.

shockwave? since he didn'd even transform in the movie, i hope they come up with a better alt form. imagine the cybertrionian tank in the leader size would definitely be the rotf megs disaster all over again. no matter how cool the tank looks, the transformation is almost bound to be too simple for a leader toy imo.

they should come with interchangable parts.. and battle damage after they both had a little chat with prime..(or atleast come with prime knucleduster and axe....)

Personally I would of preferred a Soundwave Leader to recreate his battle with BB and also so Deluxe Lazerbeak can perch on his arm.:D

WOOOOHOOOO! About durn time Hasbro!!

didn't see anything announced sdcc, so i'm guessing this wont happen

Boy, I hope so. We finally have a Megatron with a decent alt mode, but no proper toy.

As for Shockwave, I'm with Gutsman…. what a waste.

yes!! i knew to patient for a leader Megs, now do i wait for a black and purple recolour ;)

True, but remeber 2009 when it was only unofficial word that alerted us to the possibility of a Leader SS and a year or so later we got him.

This is good news, but it's kinda retarded to bring these two guys in the line so late. They should have originally been introduced as wave one.

What are people basing a (possible) Leader SW being a waste on? The fact he wasn't in the movie much, or because you already know the toy is crap? Transformers is a toyline above all else, so shouldn't the actual toy be pinnacle in determining if it's a waste or not? If we start judging toys on their screen presence (or vice versa), the point is being missed, and the only ones that really miss out are those that judge a potentially cool toy before giving it a look. But even basing it on screen presence, Skyhammer isn't even in the movie and is a pretty decent Voyager, so a Leader SW, who was in the movie, isn't exactly a waste (this is, of course, if they improve on the Voyager SW and not just super-size him).

Even though I've been there from the beginning as a kid, I'm not exactly a veteran collector (they lost me with the fluros in G2), but I know that when there's news of a new large (theoretically better detailed/engineered) figure of a fan favorite, it's supposed to be a good thing. If these two figures eventuate, it will basically be a Leader of each 'promo character' (the ones plastered everywhere at cinemas, toy sections etc). Meh, anyway, that's my rant over, it just confuses me to judge the unseen based on factors that should have little to no relevance.
