I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
I love Rumble. Ravage, not so much.
New movie figures shown at SDCC (actually they're part of the follow-up "Allspark Power" line, which has a lame gimmick of bright blue parts to indicate the character is supercharged with... uh.. Allspark power.)...
Landmine (pass)
Stockade (pass, though this one would be cool if only the head weren't blue)
Incinerator (pass)
Voyager Class "First Strike" (aka G1 repaint) Optimus Prime (pass... didn't turn out nearly as well as the other G1 repaints IMO, everything from the knees down should have been blue even if it would make the truck form look a little weird, and again, the day-glo "Allspark Power" blue parts don't help)
Evac (repainted Blackout - now this one I kinda like, though I don't feel the need for it along with Blackout, so I'm gonna go ahead and say pass)
Leader Class "Nightwatch" Optimus (this one's been known for a while, but I don't think it's been posted here, so here it is if no-one's seen it... oh, and pass, black Prime = lame)
Cliffjumper (08 Bumblebee repaint - now this one, I might get... with the way they've painted the head, it looks like a transformerized Red Skull, which is kinda cool, though it's messed up that such an evil-looking figure is an Autobot)
Leader Class "Desert Attack" Brawl (pass - I only need one Leader Brawl thanks, but if not for the lame Allspark paint, I'd actually have to think about which one)
And now, our first glimpse of the toys for the upcoming "Transformers Animated" cartoon...
Deluxe and Voyager Optimus - ugh, who do they think they're kidding with that truck form on the Deluxe version? That shit better be a work in progress, it doesn't look like it even fits together right. Robot form looks cool though, I particularly like the top panel of the truck forming a shield to go with the axe. Not crazy about the lack of a facemask, though. As for the Voyager version, I'll need to see it painted before I'm ready to pass judgement.
Bumblebee and Bulkhead - these I kinda like. I hope the bombs come off BB, though.
Prowl and Ratchet - not gonna speak on Ratchet, but Prowl is the first one I really like. I guess it's hard to fuck up a motorcycle.
Couple a' Dinobots - I like the triceratops (whose name is obscured), not too crazy about Grimlock.
Megatron and Starscream - fuck, looks like they're copying the movie and making Megs an alien-looking jet. At least he has a bigass arm-cannon. Can't make out the face well enough; that's gonna be the make-or-break. As for Starscream, you can't really make it out in this pic, but he has a pretty stupid face with a bigass Jay Leno chin. Other than that, it's a pretty solid design IMO.
Lugnut and Blitzwing - these I like, especially Blitzwing. Triple-changers are always welcome.
Lockdown - lame IMO. What's this guy even transform into?
Black Arachnia and Soundwave - OMFG. Fans who call Soundwave their favorite are gonna be fucking pissed. Lawl ferrealz, this particular 'reimagining' is fucking terrible.
Scroll down into the attachments for pics of the prototypes they actually had on display, since I'm feeling too lazy to IMG tag all of them right now.![]()
Evac and Cliffjumper i am gonna look for.
I didn't get Blackout(no particuler reason) so i mind as well get that too.
If i do end up getting a brawl it will be the standard green. That clear blue crap looks atrocious.
And i dont like the animated figures either. somethin is just off about them.

That soundwave makes me want to hurt someone.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
