Scout class ‘Ejector’ toy May 28th, 2009

A toy named ‘Ejec­tor’, with a toaster alt mode has sur­faced. This char­ac­ter prob­a­bly only fea­tures in the movie for a very short time, in the kitchen-appliance mishap scenes we’ve read about in the col­or­ing book and novelizations.

Ejec­tor

Born mind­less and dri­ven by the heat puls­ing in his tiny body, Ejec­tor knows noth­ing but how to burn. Even when he was a sim­ple toaster burn­ing things was what he did best. Now that he’s got a sim­ple mind of his own, and flamethrow­ers to go with it, he lives to torch every­thing around him.

Human Alliance Sideswipe and Skids May 28th, 2009

Two new Human Alliance toy pack­ages have been revealed, to go along­side the Sam and Bum­ble­bee mix we have Mikaela and Skids as well as Epps and Sideswipe.

Skids and Mikaela

Auto­bot Skids likes to think of him­self as pretty capa­ble, but the fact is Mikaela is a bet­ter dri­ver then he is. With her behind the wheel, and him con­cen­trat­ing on squeez­ing every last bit of power out of his engines, even the fastest, most pow­er­ful Decep­ti­cons have trou­ble keep­ing up.

Side­swipe and Epps

When Side­swipe arrive on Earth, he was a raw, untrained fighter, used to bat­tling alone and out­num­bered. He was teamed with Epps so the Tech Sergeant could whip him into shape as an effec­tive mem­ber of the strike team led by Iron­hide. The two have become good friends. In com­bat, Epps’ combat-hardened instincts direct the speed and cun­ning of Side­swipe with dev­as­tat­ing effectiveness.

Supreme Devastator in packging with bio May 28th, 2009

ACToys have posted new shots of the Supreme class Dev­as­ta­tor in its box, com­plete with bio. This is the $100 ver­sion that com­bines six dif­fer­ent vehi­cles into one robot, the vehi­cles do not have their own robot modes. This toy does not fea­ture the sev­enth con­struc­ti­con, Overload.

Dev­as­ta­tor Bio

The ulti­mate Decep­ti­con weapon has arrive on Earth and noth­ing will ever the same. Con­struc­ti­con Dev­as­ta­tor is the biggest robot ever — tow­er­ing above Auto­bots and Decep­ti­cons alike. As his Vor­tex Grinder snaps open and glows with power, all before him quake in fear, know­ing their destruc­tion is inevitable!

Jetfire & Power-up Optimus Prime, Long Haul video reviews May 28th, 2009

From the most excel­lent Peaugh again, more video reviews of the new Trans­form­ers 2 toys — this time with the much antic­i­pated Jet­fire and Opti­mus Prime com­bined form. All very cool toys!

Long Haul

Voyager Long Haul in packaging with bio May 28th, 2009

TF08 have the skinny on more Trans­form­ers 2 toy exclu­sives, this time it’s Long Haul in his box:

Long Haul

Long Haul is too bit­ter to be an effec­tive sol­dier on his own. Despite the fact that he is part of one of the most destruc­tive and ter­ri­fy­ing Decep­ti­con squads of all time, he is often treated as lit­tle more then a cargo hauler. Other Decep­ti­cons sling their gear into his bed with­out a sec­ond thought, and order him to carry it around for them. Rather than con­front them, he’d rather grum­ble about it pri­vately, then stop on the way and destroy what­ever he’s been given respon­si­bil­ity for.

Transformers 2 toy ads begin May 28th, 2009

Voyager Grindor (Blackout repaint) in box May 28th, 2009

Here it comes, a mam­moth Revenge of the Fallen updates to post — I apol­o­gize for the delay in posts, I’m away in Prague at the moment. Here we go, in chrono­log­i­cal order:

Voy­ager Grindor

The Black­out repaint is now named ‘Grindor’ and once again comes with Scorpinok:

GRINDOR is a born sol­dier. He is both a highly tal­ented fighter, and an instinc­tive strate­gist. Every moment of a bat­tle is laid out in his head before the first shot is even fired. He is so tal­ented at antic­i­pat­ing his enemy’s moves that he is almost never sur­prised. When­ever he can, he ensures him­self a place at the direct cen­ter of a fight so that he can bring his pow­er­ful weapons to bear on the AUTOBOTS around him, destroy­ing as many as he can as quickly as possible.

Jetfire and Optimus Prime combined May 17th, 2009

We’ve seen key chains and small grainy images of Jet­fire com­bin­ing with Opti­mus Prime, now we have our first detailed look at the com­bined leader class toys:
