Any shots of combiner Arcee?

-hoping for a kind of "movie aesthetic" Perceptor.

Nothing that I know of. I still hope she's not a combiner, because it's an iffy idea, that. Between her and the Twins, there's some screwy ideas going on with this sequel.

What's the deal with these so called "Twins"? I've heard the name mentioned, but nothing much else. Is one of them supposed to be the Trax, or...?

Non-Sideswipe and Sunstreaker twins...?

I dunno. I think the ice cream truck is supposed to split into two, who later become the Beat and Trax. No idea if this is just misinformation, though. I suppose it's useless to speculate at this point.

I kind of like non-standard Transformers. And, I have wanted some kind of movie combiner for a while.

Granted, I would want something Voyager or bigger, but I will settle for a deluxe consisting of scouts.

Well, Dev is supposed to be made up of seven guys. 86 wants him to be All Deluxes but I'd much rather that didn't happen, simply because that'd be a $70 combiner. I finally consolidated much of my packaging from the last year and a half the other day, and noticed that I spent like $300 on movie toys last time. (This is counting guys like Jolt and Fracture, who were in Movie packaging.) I mean, shit. That's a big hunk of change.

I spent more on the movie than I planned to as well.

But, a $70 combiner would just be amazing. Look at it this way, it would be a big hunk of toy, and a nearly un precedented one at that. The only other toy at that kind of price that is compatible with other toys was 20th Anniversary Prime, and technically that was not an "Alternator" toy.

Normally, the $70 or so price-point consists of stupidly over-priced and over-sized junk that takes up space, provides no play value and does not work with other toys.

In this case....we would have a $70 toy that was that big in scale to at least a few other toys in the line.

I would actually like a combiner made of deluxes, since no combiners yet (save maybe predaking and the various Prime combos) have really taken advantage of the idea for actually making a large toy. Yeah, $70 would be a lot to drop at once, but what if they were sold individually and spread out across different waves? In that case, I wouldn't even mind them at a Voyager price point for a honkin' huge combiner. (Wasn't Voyager the rumored size for Animated Scrapper and Mixmaster, when those were still rumored?)

Very true, Dom, and given the popularity of the movie.. Look at how many people picked up one or two Deluxes during the first movie. Look at how many of those will remember gestalts fondly. Look at how many people will now pick up SEVEN Deluxes for the sequel. Hasbro will make a brutal, violent killing from this toyline.
