With the 2009 toy fair comes images of new Revenge of the Fallen toys. So far we have two versions of the Devastator toy (one being a simplified FAB version), all SIX alt modes of the constructicons, names for each of them (Rampage, Scavenger, Scrapper, Hightower, Long Haul, and Mix Master) and images of Rampage’s robot mode, Skids and Mudflap robot modes and toys (these are the Chevy Beat and Chevy Trax). The gallery further down also includes boxes for some of the toys, showing CG renderings of their heads (e.g. Demolisher, Rampage Bulldozer, Sideswipe, Skids, Mudflaps). There is also a racing game entitled ‘Devastator Showdown’ which shows a rendered version of Devastator trying to eat Skids.
TF08 have the scoop on yet another Transformers 2 toy, this time it’s the super-sweet Centennial otherwise known as Sideswipe. This is a deluxe class model, features to note include the autobot logo on his right shoulder and scythe like pointy weapons/shielding above the arms.
This is the alt mode for the redesigned Megatron, a tank mode (as previously seen), which comes via TFW2005. The particular class of this toy is up for debate, some believe it to be a Fast Action Battler whilst others prefer to think it’s a deluxe model.
Still no images of the toy in its transformed alt mode, but a good look at all the features of the figure in its robot mode. Once again these come via TF08. The poster resemblance is much clearer now. Noticeable features also include a ‘burnt’ X on the top of the Fallen’s head, the red plastic parts are detachable (possibly fire), claw like features for feet, a Decepticon logo on its pelvis and eight fingered claws.
The folks over at TLAMB have suggested that the red plastic bits adorning the neck and joint areas on the toy may be representative of flames — this leads to the possibility of Optimus Prime being smacked down (see the Superbowl trailer) by none other than the Fallen as licks of flame can be seen on the edges of the character on the offense. Chances are however that that robot has just been in a destructive fight and the fire comes because of the damage taken.
The triple changing Soundwave Voyager class toy rumored to be both a Cybertronian jet, Satellite and robot was reviewed a short while ago by Peaugh, I haven’t included it here before so now seemed a good a time as any, I’ve also attached a Jetfire Legends review at the end of this post.
The review Illustrates the majority a number of possible configurations and outlines the movable parts whilst speculating on the shape of the satellite and jet before examining the robot figure in greater detail:
A toy entitled ‘The Fallen’ has surfaced via Transformers in China, TF08. Its head matches the face seen on the Revenge of the Fallen poster and now confirms that ‘The Fallen’ is indeed a character, rather than a reference to a downed Megatron or Optimus Prime.
The third image shows a transformation sheet, with an alt mode that looks like a strange jet. The character himself looks spiky, evil and ancient.
