DotM Guidebook (Bios and upcoming toys)

[griffin]

This is almost identical in format to the RotF Guidebook produced by Hasbro, this one covers Dark of the Moon characters and toys, including some toys that haven't been revealed yet anywhere.

This was sent in from the people at ToysRUs, so a big thankyou to them (this is such an awesome reference guide), and is one of the freebie items to be given away at the Melbourne TRU pre-launch Event on May 14th (plus other TRU promo events around SE Asia).

If you aren't able to make it to the Event for your own copy, or they run out, here are the scans of this 32 page booklet.

It's quite exciting, to see some official pics of characters for the first time, in addition to announcing those upcoming store exclusives (all in the one week) before the fansites that Hasbro America interacts with.

(if you are from another fansite - please copy and mirror images, crediting the source... don't hotlink, as I will block entire domains that are found doing it)

Wow, that's great information on upcoming stuff, Griffin! Thanks! Wish I could get this book

[griffin]

When I did a search online to be sure it wasn't already out there somewhere (so I didn't waste my time doing all the scanning and posting), I was really amazed that the RotF Guidebook was put online by Hasbro, and is still there.
I'm wondering if they will swap it over now with this new one, or upload it at a new domain name.

There was a ROTF guidebook put online by Hasbro?

Strangely, the book seems to have omitted wave 2 of Cyberverse legion (Ratchet, Leadfoot, Crowbar, Mudflap), as well as Bolt Bumblebee and the 2007 Movie deco Cyberverse Starscream.

Bolt Bumblebee is in wave 2, according to the RK assortment listings. And I haven't seen any sign of a Starscream in that size class yet (except the one with the Action set).

Leadfoot does on the hasbro site. Now we just have to wait for Topspin. I hope he gets one as I'm not overly fussed with the deluxe wreckers.

Ben Yee has reviewed it. http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/dotm/legion/starscream/

It's the same mold as the action set version, but coloured more like how he appeared in the first movie.
