movie rumour and spoiler thread

I hope Hasbro keep up the tradition of repainting them in their G1 colours. Variety is the spice of life, kids.

[BWprowl]

Yeah, we really need a G1 repaint of Bumblebee.

In all seriousness though: Ironhide.

It's something I noticed about cars in general--the things just don't have a whole lot of variety in colour. Go on the street and all you see is mostly red, silver, white or dark ugly-coloured cars. It's a real shame, it is.

We don't yet have a Blue Autobot and that saddens me.

Prime 'was' going to be entirely blue..

I wish they'd made a Soundwave retool of Ratchet ala the early scripts and the one custom, that was snazzy.

In the movie, no. But there is Off-road Ironhide.

Megs's design leaked. It's kinda asymmetrical and has one gimpy arm. Makes me wonder how he'll transform.

About as successfully as his first-movie version transformed?

[Sparky Prime]

Hrm... Not really liking the tank tread legs and gimpy arm but otherwise I think it look like a cool design. I'm also curious to know how this version will transform...

[onslaught86]

The arm's a bit naff, but I prefer this version to the old one, and I'm glad they've decided against making him Galvatron. He stole Jazz's speargun, heh.

O6 mentioned to me that it's kinda sucky that we'll not get a decent figure of the original flavour Megs design. I'm not too torn up about that, considering the alt. mode's pretty weak on the original, and we do have at least a few semi-decent figures. This one retains enough elements from the original to work fine, and has the added bonus of actually turning into something - in theory, anyway.

I'm hopeful that they'll fix the gimp arm and give him some more colour before finalising it, considering how many changes the previous designs went through before the end product. As-is, better than before. Go the treadlegs.

[BWprowl]

Okay, so three of you have actually seen this thing. Link?
