[Autocon]

so is this BB the Ultimate or deluxe?
you think iron hide will have that in the movie?

there will be more figures i see, i wonder if they will come with vehicles

BRING ON MAY!!!!!!!!!

Wowers like Kyle said BB is a must.

Mental note Hpoo: Be patient, wait till you see Takara's....and Maybe even wait for the 'premium' scam.

EDIT: Is that Megatron in BB's box art, the picture in the background of the boxed BB? Maybe we will see him....

I am really liking the patterning on Starscream's jet mode.

I don't like the gimmick of having the symbols painted on the toys, because we haven't seen any yet on the actual vehicles being filmed. And even if they did make it a plot device to have symbols painted over them, it'd just spoil the look of the vehicle modes. I think they are spoiling the toys, just to make the toys look more gimmicky with the Egyptian theme. If it isn't movie accurate having the symbols on them, maybe Takara will leave them off...

[Gutsman Heavy]

the pattern on SS make me think that there is another fig comming, and this one is going for a different look to try and prevent all the figs looking the same.

read: I hope there is a leader SS comming

According to Alex Milne, the glyph symbols on Starscream were from the movie production, so at least he has a reason. Yeah, I figure the others are gimmicks.

As for Takara, it depends on how much independence they want in the movie line. Their 2007 line was almost the same as Hasbro's, aside from the first Bumblebee, some packaging changes for the FABs, and Premium Battle Mode Prime, IIRC.

EEEEEEE!!! Sam! ...tho it means i bought that Mutt Williams for no reason now...hey...are they the same mold?

[FFN]

I doubt it. This figure seems much less detailed and articulated than an average Hasbro 3'3/4" figure, so it's probably much smaller.

You can still use the Mutt figure with that 1:18 die cast Camaro Concept TRU sells.
