ACToys board member ‘Star of Cybertron’ has posted shots of what looks like a new member of the Revenge of the Fallen toy family — a white, red and grey construction vehicle.
It is strongly suggested that this is the first constructicon toy we have seen and a constituent part of the enormous Devastator. Note the robot head visible in the final two shots. It still remains to be seen whether a combined 7-robot Devastator will appear in the movie.
A possible alt mode for this toy:
Voice Changers
Red Mercury have listed two new Voice changer helmets for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The Optimus Prime model has been updated with new sound effects, voice clips and battle damage decoration. The second is a Bumblebee helmet (no images yet):
Ultimate Bumblebee
Red Mercury also have a pre-order page for the new Ultimate Bumblebee: the flip down mask has been remolded, the paint work is more accurate and there is also a new arm weapon:
High priced Combiner
TFW2005 has found one more DCPI listing:
087–06-0292 TRA Driver MV2 Human Driver
And have also revealed the pricepoints for the two combiner listings:
087–06-0146 TF MV2 Combiners = $29.99
087–06-0294 TRA Combiner TF MV2 = $99.99
So, the Superion and Briticus Maximus sets are likely the $29.99 listing, while the $99.99 listing could be something else. Maybe something… ‘devestating’!
Hat tip to Seibertron.
Many are touting the multi-part autobot Superion toy as proof of a Devastator/Constructicon opponent in Revenge of the Fallen, solely on the toy’s package description:
The mighty union of the five AERIALBOTS, SUPERION thinks of little else besides destroying any DECEPTICONS he encounters, and protecting any innocent bystanders nearby. The robots that combine to form this powerful warrior are experienced teammates, working in tandem to see that the AUTOBOTS emerge victorious from the fire of THE ANCIENT WAR.
Silverbolt — Aerialbots leader
Airazor — Small but fierce
Fireflight — Easily distracted daydreamer
Skydive — Aerial strategy expert
Air Raid — Reckless divebomber
In actuality this toy is simply a resprayed Transformers: Energon toy. It has not been redesigned to match the ROTF robot theme, and is practically the same as its outing in 2006 — suggesting, instead of Superion appearing in the movie, that Hasbro are cashing in on the ‘transform and combine’ theme prevalent with Devastator and possibly the twins and Arcee.
From the vehicle based on the GM Centennial, this is the first full picture of ‘Sideswipe’ via TF08:
The-Arker have returned with new card shots of two more Revenge of the Fallen toys — their alt modes being a biplane and a gun boat respectively, despite being a little bit blurry. Once again these are unlikely to appear in the movie.
The-Arker have also posted new shots of the Jolt FAB toy’s packaging:
Would you be interested in more Transformers toy news? At the moment I am restricting the news to ROTF related developments with an aim to stay on the topic of the movie. What do you guys think?
Hello all, hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years, sorry for the lack of updates during the festive season, things got a little bit hectic. In the mean time it seems that the world of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has exploded with rumors, names and pictures — officially and unofficially, best to start with the upcoming toys, amongst other news, which will be along shortly in the next post.
Jolt & Megatron
Jolt, the recently revealed name of the Chevy Volt, is back with new close up shots of the ‘Fast Action Battler’ via The Arker, along with some close up shots of the Megatron/Tank.
Jetfire merged with Optimus Prime
Pictures of the Legends Optimus Prime and Jetfire toys merged together have been posted on TF08 and more recently TFW2005.
Interestingly the close up shots of the Jetfire toy show a Decepticon logo that has been scratched out. The toy has already been confirmed as a Decepticon, but this loosely suggests some sort of team changeover in the movie.
Rollbar
TF08 have posted shots of the ‘Rollbar’ toy, now with a confirmed name. It is unlikely that this vehicle shall appear in the movie though.
Knock Out
Seibertron posted the scoop on this one, a motorcycle shaped toy with the name Knock Out — could this be a constituent part of Arcee? It’s green coloring suggests otherwise, it’s unlikely Knock Out will appear in the movie.
“Though he is an incredibly flashy and skilled fighter, KNOCK OUT is also desperately insecure. He practices awesome combat maneuvers constantly in private to be sure that the other AUTOBOTS will notice him on the battlefield. His highest ambition is to be the leader of a special combat team, and to get the combination retrofit everyone has been talking about.”
Dead End
Pictures of a red supercar autobot have been posted at ACToys, the name Dead End comes from a shot of the instruction booklet that accompanies it. Another unlikely movie hopeful — if this was X-men 3 I’m sure all these guys would get thrown into the mix at some point.
Leader Class Optimus Prime
TLAMB have also posted a picture of the new Legends Class Optimus Prime toy.
