TF08 have posted pack­ag­ing shots of the Side­swipe and Ram­page toys, includ­ing their biogra­phies. An inter­est­ing point to note is Rampage’s jack ham­mer mode — a sort of third con­fig­u­ra­tion, pos­si­ble movie appear­ance of a giant crush­ing pneu­matic drill?

Ram­page

The stink of diesel fumes and hot tar fol­lows Ram­page wher­ever he goes. His treads are packed with metal shards stripped from his vic­tims and the count­less scratches cov­er­ing his chas­sis are tes­ta­ment to hun­dreds of bru­tal bat­tles. He lives to pound his ene­mies into sub­mis­sion and thinks of lit­tle else. His idea of beauty is the sight of sun glis­ten­ing off the raw edges of shred­ded Auto­bot armor.

Side­swipe

Side­swipe was built to fight. He is sleek, fast, and accom­plished in bat­tle, focus­ing on his enemy with absolute atten­tion. His blades are a shin­ing blur as he leaps through the air, twist­ing to avoid enemy fire. Con­vert­ing from vehi­cle to robot at blaz­ing speed, he uses every trick in the book to get close to his oppo­nent and put his pow­er­ful swords to work.

More gal­leries of the Leg­ends class Opti­mus Prime & Mega­tron, Deluxe class Skids and Side­swipe and FAB Long­haul and Side­ways have appeared online. No big reveals — although Bum­ble­bee does sport some new pop out canons that can be used in both robot and alt modes (via TFW005).

Via TFW2005 and eBay we have more images of the Bum­ble­bee and Sound­wave toy pack­ag­ing, this time giv­ing us their char­ac­ter descrip­tions, and another oppor­tu­nity to pur­chase the toys. It also reveals that Soundwave’s pro­jec­tile is the Decep­ti­con Ravage.

Sound­wave

eBay Auc­tion

Sta­tioned in orbit above Earth, Sound­wave swiftly taps into every satel­lite in range. Within min­utes, com­mu­ni­ca­tions, data traf­fic, weather infor­ma­tion, and high-resolution spy pho­tog­ra­phy flood his sen­sor net. The spill of data fills him with plea­sure, and one by one, the humans’ sys­tems come under his com­plete con­trol. From his seat on high, he is in a posi­tion to con­trol the des­tiny of mankind with­out their knowledge…or to run their civ­i­liza­tion into the ground.

The pack­ag­ing also reveals that the pro­jec­tile that Sound­wave can launch is in fact Rav­age! Note the text above the bot­tom right configuration:

Bum­ble­bee

eBay Auc­tion

Hav­ing cho­sen to stay with Sam after the end of the bat­tle for the AllSpark, Bum­ble­bee made arrange­ments to stay close to hm at all times. It’s been a pretty good deal. He gets reg­u­lar detail­ing, and as much high-grade fuel as he needs. Plus, he gets to spend time with Sam and Mikaela. His vocal proces­sors still aren’t fully up to snuff, but he and his friends com­mu­ni­cate just fine. IF he ever misses the action of bat­tle, he can always give Iron­hide a call and go Decep­ti­con hunting.

TF08 have posted some more image of their unpacked Wheelie toy, show­ing the fully trans­formed robot mode, close up details of his limbs and every­thing else — right down to the Decep­ti­con and Auto­bot logos on his chest and back.

His robot design looks very sim­i­lar to Frenzy’s, with spindly arms, legs and claws for qui­etly creep­ing around.

TF08 have posted an image of the blue RC truck, Wheelie, in his alt mode:

Mean­while TFW2005 have posted a gallery of shots com­par­ing the first movie’s Mega­tron with the updated design, the toy appears to be far supe­rior. View full gallery.

TF08 have pro­vided a set of 5 videos illus­trat­ing how each of the toys trans­forms from its alt mode to robot mode:
