    I didn't realise she is actually a decepticon. I just heard she was a heartless bitch trying steal Sam from Mikalea (a real stretch for a H and A actress)

    I hope this doesn't suck.

    I'm sure that, like all the ridiculous stuff from the first film, it will make sense when we see it up on the screen.

    It makes sense from a storyline perspective. Brute force got the Decepticons nowhere last time, and now they're using espionage and subterfuge even beyond the capabilities of Frenzy to infiltrate.

    Reminds me of Infiltration and Escalation.

    It reminds me of:

    - Terminator 3
    - Battlestar Galactica
    - Austin Powers


    The toy is hinted to be a human animorph of a Barbie Blonde. How crap is that?

    You say that like Transformers (any generation) has been original. TF is derivative as heck

    I'm personally interested in seeing how they handle a hypothetical modern pretender-type toy.

    If its an Animorph type toy it will not be a Pretender but something else entirely.

    You can bet your boots it won't 'split apart to reveal a powerful robot inside, then reassemble to fight alongside the transformable robot'!

    If the reports of the movie combiner are to be believed then we cannot expect anything good for a toy version of the pretender.

    I have become fearful of the second Movie toy line. It seems that they are focusing too heavily on stupid gimmicks possibly at the expense of the toy design.

    Haven't they learned from past failings?

    Yeah from what I've heard about the movie combiner and now this I doubt I'll be buying too many toys from ROTF which saddens me... Although my wallet just let out a huge sigh of relief
