Leaked movie toys - spoilers

[GoktimusPrime]

In Hasbro's defence, shoehorning non-Movieverse figures into the Movieverse is nothing new. Even back in 2007 we had a number of Energon and Cybertron figures redecoed as Movieverse toys. I have at least two "shoehorned Movieverse" figures in my collection:
+ TF1 Big Daddy: Cos I just like the Cybertron Downshift mould and think that the redeco looks cool. Easy to repurpose as CHUGUR Big Daddy.
+ AoE Rollbar: Cos I got the Breakout Battle box set as a freebie from Hasbro.

But considering that I've only ever purchased one of these shoehorned redecoes in the past 10 years, I don't see myself rushing to buy any of these new ones in The Last Knight. That's not to say that these redecoes look bad or anything, but just not my cube of Energon.

As bland as they are, i think Infernocus, Nitro, and Skulltron are finished product. They are each officially photographed, and on packaging, and have some tiny paint apps. My guess is Hasbro is saving money on paint and using the plain plastic (in Infernocus' and Skulltron's case) to represent dirty, old, robots.

Oh dear. I hadn't thought of that possibility. That is REALLY penny-pinching if that's what they're going with. I'll skip and wait for Takara.

How boring would your toy shelf look if they were all grey just to be more "screen accurate" the Bay's bots.
Then again, when Hasbro gave the Dinobot toys different colours for the TF4 toyline, people were unhappy with them having odd colours that didn't make them look like the movie Dinobots.

(also, most of the on-screen Decepticon toys since the very first movie have been fairly colourless, with the only real exception being the Constructicons... ALL the rest have been black, grey or military coloured)

I think these were shown in the second trailer. All dark grey. They follow batmans rule

Honestly, I think that it would be impossible to tell the difference between who's who if you put them all on one shelf

The colours of the Decepticons is indicative of the way that Michael Bay treats most Decepticons (and Dinobots) in the movies -- as nothing more than generic set pieces. Absolutely zero personality. They're just so forgettable. (-_-)

Apparently there is a second Bumblebee toy for wave 3 in the Deluxe size, and it is said to be a new mould... with this scan said to be from its instructions (it doesn't show much other than a gun/hand swapping gimmick).
