"Movie Preview" toys preorders and PICTURES!
Transformers Movie Figures up for Pre-order at UK Site
Hi,
Dunno if anyone else has noticed, and I've been out of the loop for the last week for family matters, but I see Forbidden Planet have Deluxe Optimus Prime and Deluxe Starscream from the movie up for preorder, priced at £16.99 ($32) and said to be available from 14th April (although they have been wildly out before with other TFs... and they certainly have the movie release date wrong, unless I've missed something huge!).

Starscream - http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/index. ... s_id=34661
Optimus Prime - http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/index. ... s_id=34660
They also have the Classics Legends figures up for £4.99.
I have had bad experiences ordering TFs from Forbidden OPlanet before, but I do believe that was just bad luck (Dodge Ram Prime was an ultimate nightmare...).
Sorry if I am rehashing!

Ohhhh. Cybertronian modes. I wasn't expecting those to get a release...

They seem interesting.And very futuristic as cybertrons modes should be.Though Prime from behind seems like he transforms into a fish ... And Starscream's face is a more morbid than the usual one ... still not simillar to the usual one. Finally transformations seems very similar... to my eyes of course.

I like the idea, but am not convinced - particularly the colours!
Also, if those are the chaps appearing for pre-order everywhere, how big are they? It strikes me they look rather overpriced...
And the transformations do look quite similar, but you can't really tell from the photos.
(The handles on their backs are a bitty strange, but perhaps all will become clear...)

How does Starscream go from "fairly normal robot" in protoform mode to "hulking gorilla robot with no hands" in the final form?

My want list
I need ROTS Clone Troopers
By getting (partially) rebuilt through the aid of nanomachines.
By taking on an alt mode that's a lot bigger than he used to accomodate (F-22), he'll need to significantly adapt his endoskeleton.
Starscream does have hands in both his protoform and planetside mode.
The F-22 based robot mode just happens to have "barrel roll blasters" pinched inbetween his claws/fingers.
His weapons extend from his forarms through his hands, Wolverine style.
Launchers are just a tad bigger than blades, though.

I dunno if i should be impressed or disgusted. The forms look blocky to say the least in vehicle mode. If i wanted a brick that transformed to humanoid robot, I would have just bougth old G1 toys *laughs*. The robot modes are realistic though, so no complaints there, but just those alternate modes bug the living crap out of me! Other than that, those are my biggest complaints.
The hands do look interesting also, and maybe these are just prototypes for the final toy itself where they will work out all the bugs hopefully? <------------- I am just hoping my comment is true and we will se vast improvements within the next few months.

Cos these designs are a lot newer and they hears the screaming about Gorillascream and streamlined his design for the movie?
There was always the strong possibility that previously leaked designs weren't anywhere near final, and Megatron's head's certainly changing, so chances are Starscream's changed too.
