Four more have shown up as add-on pairs to the main game, and again, there are some really weird forms here.

Starscream - red
Prowl - orange
Barricade - white & black (so is likely to be a police car again)
Bumblebee - in a traditional yellow

Are we sure these are from Hasbro and not a KOer?:p

It is worth noting, that in that recently leaked Hasbro database listing of hundreds of past and future figures, there were several "Battlemaster" listings with Movie characters.. so this looks to be a rather large expandable game gimmick (with heaps of battling robots)that Hasbro have planned for this year.

Since the packaging for the six above DON'T have any Movie naming or logos, these six "shouldn't" be movie characters.

I was getting tank treads off the black things poking up from his back. A lot of non-transforming merch doesn't appeal, this just falls into that bucket for me.

I have to say I'm hopeful that the next series doesn't grab me as I'll save some money up so I can drop it on larger purchases without having to miss out on any awesome.

Of course that's what I tried to do with animated and you might be aware of how that turned out. :rolleyes:

Looks like it. Just needs a base for the handsets to slot into.

More images of the core battlepack and the two 2-packs. (scroll to the end of the page)
