There's so many pics from Hasbro's display area on Friday that we don't have time to group them into proper categories. (Sounds like something Ultra Magnus would say, huh?)

Yay for Universe!

When and where are we getting the Powerglide repaint???????? Now I don't feel so bad for skipping the Japanese version!

Sideswipe's Repaint Swerve is looking great. Even though I loathe the feet on the mold the color alone will make me buy it.

Jolt looks fairly interesting though the Robot mode looks somewhat mistrasnformed.

Deadend looks really cool in Black and arterial red.
But I'll wait to see him in person before I decide.

Those Classics/Universe redecos look great.

Shame about the exclusive part at the end...

I have a question: What's the deal with the Legends Class Baby Blue Brawl there? Not even Artic Camo. Just light pastel baby blue.

Hardhead's shield looks great. The kill marks are a nice touch.

After seeing Chromia and Arcee properly transformed, they've kind of grown on me. I'm interested to see the third bike and the combined mode.

Nice pics. Like the Universe Ultra repaints, Powerglide should be interesting.

No problem! I'm glad that all of you enjoy my photographs. It sure is a lot of work ... I'm exhausted and have a long day ahead of me.

Coming up at 1pm Pacific is the Hasbro panel. I'll be taking notes on my laptop for all of you and will post the news as soon as I can.

Observations from your gallery:

1 ) Even as a Legends class, Sideswipe looks effin' awesome, probably one of the best looking designs of the movie series to date.

2 ) Blazemaster Rawks! I have a soft spot for realistic helicopters that have a decent robot mode.

3 ) Depth Charge looks better than I expected from the original preview pics

4 ) I can do without Scalpel, but Ejector has become a MUST-HAVE.

5 ) And Devastator looks larger than I had expected... after some of the previous photos, I was expecting him to be about Primus-Sized, but half again wider. Now he looks about a third again larger than that.

It's been said constantly that he's going to be 2 feet tall.

The Green Onslaught could be the ROTF Lockdown they were talking about. They just didn't have time to make a new figure, maybe?

No, it's been confirmed as Hardhead - repaint, no new head mold

No, ROTF Lockdown is a new mold.

Are there any 100% positive ID's on what those three Universe 2.0 ultra repaints are going to be?

Posted by Primus1101 on May 31st, 2009 @ 12:14pm CDT
i must say, these new rotf figures are really good. i love legends so i'll probably pick those up. the deluxes look better (but i'm kinda worried about jolt :( ). but i couldn't really give a toss about the universe stuff.
