    That Wreckage repaint needs to be named Stryker. Do it Hasbro, dammit.

    I could see it being called Roadbuster though, what with Animated Ultra Magnus' repaint getting that title recently. You know 'Trademark security' and all that.

    There are several Movie figures that didn't get a repaint, Wreckage included. I think we'll certainly see those repainted as early filler for RotF line, with repaints of the newer molds toward the end.

    I wonder how the parents will feel, when they think about buying TF2 toys for their kids, and realise they are so similar to the TF1 toys...

    I doubt they'll know the difference (or similarities)

    Roberto Orci said that Hasbro argued against making minor changes to the designs of the returning Movie characters so that parents wouldn't have to buy toys that are only slightly different to what their children already own.

    More of the mis-information campaign?

    I guess if the kids are smart they'd probably know the diference. personaly I'm not fussed about this slightly modded Bumblebee. I'd rather buy all new TF characters than the same one over and over again! I have more than enough Prime's thank you Hasbro.

    I might make an exception for that Wreckage repaint though.

    If they're going to be releasing most of the original movie toys with only slight changes, then that's good for people who didn't pick them up in the first place. I found myself wanting Ironhide the other day, so I may possibly pick up the inevitable re-release when it shows up.

    Very true.

    it also means that the if you collected the first movie line, you'll have more spare dosh for buying the new character toys.

    Also gives parents the chance to buy their kids any toys that may have been broken or lost in the last 18 months-2 years.

    Yeah that hasn't gone down really well at all. He is now claiming that he hasn't stolen pics either. Seems that he has banned all the boards from taking pics, Allspark and TFW are having similar issues.

    If this is some feeble way for TF08 to get a bunch of new members...

    Perhaps. But to get to be a member with proper full access to the site you need over 100 posts, and to have purchased a figure from him.
