Nah, I thought I heard it too. It made me anticipate a Movie Laserbeak appearing...in vain.

I got Depth Charge yesterday. He's really quite weird. For one, his head sculpt is more Decepticon than Autobot (making me think that he may be repainted into Tidal Wave later on). The other weird thing is his legs. They're completely inverse of how normal legs should look-think backwards satyr legs.

An interesting feature is that he can have two different feet arrangements. The first (official) one is with the hull halves flat on the ground. The second one, which I prefer, has the tower halves slightly folded out to form feet using a small peg hole which has seemingly no other purpose than for this, which looks better to me. This also makes him a very tall Scout.

I like his deco a lot, and also his ball-jointed missile launchers, which, as a friend pointed out, can be pointed backwards to become rocket engines.

But you can cheat and use his wheels to support his feet, I have a harder time trying to stand Sideswipe.

When Sam and Mikaela were hiding in that house when they were trying to get to Optimus, and then that little TF bug came through the hole in the wall and Sam tore its head off.

Listen out for it if your going to see it.

yes his name was mentioned, i saw it last night i was actually waiting for that scene. or was it laserbee? hehehe

Does anyone have the new Barricade yet? And if so what do you think? I am tempted to get it but the removal of Frenzy and replacement of the probe arms don't make it seem worth it. I presume it's otherwise exactly the same toy. Is Frenzy perhaps still in there but locked in place like the Screen Battles version?

My brief thoughts on Barricade's wave partners:
Ravage is cool in beast mode, but the re-entry mode is a complete joke.
Mudflap is too hunchbacked, but the transformation is complex and he looks good with Skids.
Cannon Bumblebee I like. Not complex but has some nice changes and those cannons hide away easily enough. I am pretty sure I wont get the Preview version now.

According to Tformers, the new Barricade is exactly the same as the old one save for the probe arms and the absence of Frenzy in any form.

Thanks, there's my answer: not worth getting it.

The Fallen's transformation is terrible! There isn't much transformation!

In the "vehicle" mode, it looks very similar to megatron from TF1.

The robot mode is kinda cool though.

But overall very disappointed.

I hope Jetfire does not disappoint as thats probably the only other one I'll get and maybe human alliance bumblebee.

I would just like to admit that I have bought 4 ROTF toys so far (Sideswipe, Rampage, Skids and Mudflap) and I've had trouble transforming them all. Are Skids and Mudflap supposed to have big backpacks?

As far as I can tell Skids not so much, Mudlap yes. Skids took me a while to get right though and I needed to check the instructions to figure out how it was supposed to fold in and not just hang behind his legs.

It wasn't hard to get Mudflap back into the shape of a car. But it took me AGES to figure out how to fold the leg bits that were stick out under the car so all 4 wheels could touch the ground...
