Leaked Movie Toy pics, AKA the Return of the Rock Lords

1. So much about the talk by Murphy and Bay that designs can change and all that. They have the toys made, even the packaging is done, 3/4 year before the movie is out. Also the package text confirms the leaked script pretty much... for those who read, these toys were made for the part where the Autobots enter the atmosphere and then scan for Earth modes. It's interesting that they made one for Starscream too, as in the script he is already on earth.
My hypothesis: I'd give 95% chance that all the prototypes we saw before are pretty much final.

2. Never, ever did I think I'd see in my life: The return of the Rock Lords! Yes, these, especially Optimus, not only looks like a Rock Lord in both modes - as they are pretty much falling asteroids - they also transform like Rocklords, folding their limbs around their bodies and closing into a ball. Optimus even looks like a Rocklord with the melted asteroid-surface on his arms and legs.

3.: Take a good look at... Starscream? Umm, no, that's never a Starscream. The bot body, when I look at it, looks more like a Macross or some other Japanese generic robot. The colors scream Jetfire... The alt mode? WTF is it? Reminds me of Thanos' ship from Marvel...
-And take a good look at the face! It has two fangs/mandibles pointing upward from the sides of his head. The eyes are wide and angle upward, with 'evil' eyebrows above them that end in antennae. Reminds you of someone? Yes... WASPINATOR! But never SS.

Conclusion?

-I'll still get Starscream, propably. As I'll repaint his Earth mode to Apeface, I'll repaint this one into Pre-earth Waspinator (Here's a cue, Hasbro!)
-AS for them overall? Not too good toys. I think the majority of the fans won't get as excited when seeing these when say, we saw the first glimpse of the 6 inch Titaniums or the first Classics.

-Btw - the back panel confirms two not too heartwarming things...

1.: The 'Energon Cube' is now called the Allspark. Use the Matrix, dammit! - as Magnus would say. :evil:

2.:The text also confirms that the TFs can morph their outer shape at will. THis is stupid for various reasons... like, if they can morph why would they need to transform? But I'm too tired to list all the reasons.

So its only me who likes them then ?
Granted not what i expected from the movie toys at all, but asides the basic colours (That look nothing like the ones on the back of the box to me) I don’t think their THAT bad, most likely I’ll pick them up when i see them.

Any idea when these are coming out?

Not an entirely daft idea really, the TF have no use for space-ships, they just turn into them! :o

Or well, atleast not for dropships, I suppose.

Must take a closer look, but they look terribly Gundam-like right now. For a pre-earth look, they may not be all bad, just some change or two to the colours, since they're supposed to be alien robots.

EDIT: But wait... Prime's got... MUNKEY FEET!! >_<

I can't see them???

All I get is links on each board to another board with links to another board on. :(

Thanks.

Although I did actually find the right page after realising that the link on tfw was to the newest post, rather than the start of the topic on actoy.

The premise is sound, and these don't look half bad, although a little too clean for my liking. They're better than their Earthen modes, tho.

i'm not a fan of the (seeming) notions that;

a) the Tf's are relatively formless prior to coming to earth

b) they morpth.

morphing sort of makes transforming rather pointless... why have an 'alternative' mode when you can just gloop into any shape you fancy?

unless...

of course!

So if Prime's Morth, does that make Megatron Chaz?

I think i would actually prefer it if Tony Heart was directing this.

:D :D :D :D

I don't really like these figures so far. They seem to lack personality. Even the most brickish of G1 TF's had a sense of personality.

I hate the way everything is lacking in colour too. Black, blue and silver does not a mature film make!

The pics of the toys outside the packaging remind me very strongly of BatPrimal and 'Gator Megs. Weird.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

I don't think they are formless before Earth, but you're right about B... it pretty much makes the whole point of Transforming pointless. If one can alter their Alt mode as they wish... then Prime could morph into a jet any time he wanted, or BB could become a tank on the spot. That is rather a stupid concept. I wonder why Hasbro agreed to the morphing... oh yeah, more toys. :evil:

... and myself as well. :ididit:

If the rest of the Movie toys are as 'good' as these, we can hope it's gonna be a big failure.

Though someone over TFW2005 said "to heck with Classics Jetfire, I want these!" :eek: He must have gone mad.... :roll:
