    Leader class Megatron (new)

    Voyager class Grimlock (redeco)
    Voyager class Hound (new)
    Voyager class Megatron (new)
    Voyager class Scorn (new)

    Deluxe class Bumblebee (new)
    Deluxe class Crosshairs (redeco)
    Deluxe class Strafe (redeco)
    Deluxe class Slash (redeco)
    Deluxe class Slug (redeco)

    I think the new molds all look pretty great, particular the Megatrons. They do have a bit of a TFPrime Skyquake vibe to them, but are better than ever other movie Megatron toy so far.

    That Sqweeks is gold.
    Ah, what the hell, so are the Megatrons.
    Liking what I see so far.

    Interesting going from dinosaurs to dragons to tie into knight theme?

    So it would seem the new toys will be nicer on the eyes and less garbled than previous movies. I'll still skip them so as not to encourage more of these awful movies but they look decent!

    Is it just me, or does Megatron's head look a lot like Starscream... particularly on the actual toys (not these CG renderings).

    Either its lazy having a similar robot head, or it's a plot device in the movie.

    That Leader Megatron looks absolutely amazing, I'm surprised how good it is at keeping the humanoid shape with minimal kibble and backup while having a cool alt-mode.

    I had the impression that "Premier Edition" was just the label for the advance release movie toys, but as noted by Paulbot, it seems to be the labelling for the collector (non-gimmick) toys throughout the movie toyline release, which was the "Generations" labelling for TF4 (I guess they didn't want to confuse retailers and consumers while the Generations toyline is a major line this time, as it wasn't that big in 2014).

    They note that the Movie toys have a global release date of April 24th (the movie is out in America on June 23rd, and probably here June 22nd).... but I'm not sure how many Premier Edition toys are getting an advance release before that. The voice changer helmet and Voyager Optimus are definitely early releases, but I think all the rest, including the Leader Shadow Spark Optimus, are April 24th releases.

    I just love that Squeeks. Looks like so much fun as a desk-top toy.

    All the new molds look really good. Not only the engineering and sculpt, but also paint jobs too. Read somewhere that these voyagers are priced at USD$30? Wonder if the increased MSRP played role a in much nicer paint across the board.

    The new Megatrons interest me greatly.

    I'm also actually quite taken with the new deluxe bumblebee mold (with the blue headlights).
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

    The Toyfair in Brazil this week has given us more looks at some of the Movie toys that were at the NY Toyfair and the Australian Fair - particularly Leader Megatron, Legends, and Turbo Charger Optimus.
