Revenge of the Fallen toy discussion (leaks and official info)
Posted: Wed Dec 31, 2008 2:16 pm
This is your new all-purpose thread for discussing the Revenge of the Fallen toys.
The following spoiler policy applies:
Offscreen (toy-only) characters are not not spoilers. This currently applies to the various Scout Class toys, redecos of toys from the first movie line as other G1-based characters (e.g. Starscream as other Seekers in G1-based decos) and redecos of toys from older lines (mostly store exclusives).
Toys for returning characters who survived the first part unambiguously (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide, Starscream, Scorponok) are not spoilers as long as their alternate forms and robot modes are more or less identical to their appearances in the first movie (i.e. Bumblebee's slightly tweaked Camaro mode), regardless of whether they're new molds, remolds or repaints.
Toys for returning characters who were either implied having died in the first movie (Jazz, Megatron, Brawl, Frenzy, Blackout), or whose fate was left ambiguous (Barricade) are SPOILERS, especially if their new alternate forms and/or robot modes look different from their appearances in the first movie.
Toys for new characters that will make their debut in Revenge of the Fallen are also SPOILERS.
To sum it up, here's the current toyline roster as we know it thus far.
