oh great, look out for the new, highly expencive, repaints from tcc who have no g1 resemblance to any character! good job oftcc.

Dude, TFClub.com is a CHINESE fan site. You're thinking of Transformersclub.com. These two toys are simply part of the Movie Basic-sized merchandise. They will be available for $6.99 at every retailer that carries Transformers Movie toys.

That and, the oftcc was fired a few years back. If I remember right it was due to the bad treatment of fans who had ordered Sentinal Maximus (a repaint of TM Optimus Primal) as an exclusive. Which is why we now have the Transformers Club that is overseen by Master Collector.

well er, thats what I meant.

Well, either way, that club has nothing to do with the link from this story. TFClub is just the biggest Chinese Transformers fansite, NOT anofficial Hasbro-approved club, and one of their members simply purchased "leaked" test shots of upcoming toys that are going to be released as part of the Movie line. When those toys ultimately come out, they will be available at mass retail at non-rip-off prices.

well thats a relief!

Well, I like the idea of Cybertron and Energon redecos more than the actual movie toys, as they all suck.

I take it your either a G1ist or you havent seen ultimate bumblebee Blackout, or ever checked out their new automorph features.

Matt how can you say that these movie toys are as good as classics. You must not have seen any of the bumblebees or blackout or optimus or megs or ironhide or brawl or jazz. And you DEFFINATLY havent seen THE BEST design ever: BARRICADE. By the way on TFormers.com I saw a link to toysrus website that said they are taking preorders for some of the new movie toys. There were some I had never heard about before, most noteably arcee.

EDIT: woops! wrong news item.

Also, we are getting an energon repaint as a blue arcee for the game I believe. I've seen the images and they look pretty decent.

It's cool, mostly because the repaints look WAY better than the originals. Seriously, Hardtop was purple and turqouise, yack! Anyway, Matt, if you are trying to state you are a fan, because you hate movie designs, you're not. A true fan likes all series, and wouldn't say any suck. Like me! I buy any Transformer I can, (within reasonable price)whether it's broken, missing peices, or only an arm!
And yes, I am a hyper-criticizing, insane person.
It's better that way.

ha ha lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right on man! if you want to see a funny video off of youtube.com go and type in at the search bar,Jack Nicholson prank call and it should be the first one that appears! enjoy and tell me what you think!

Thanks for the clarifications Nevermore. A lot of fans, myself included, didn't know all that. A lot of names being bantered about and it's easy to lose track of who's who.

Hmmm,i think i'll use the cybertron swindle/hardtop mold for Halo's masterchief.

Lord Megatron,can you tell us where to find these Arcee pics?

Also,if you can't wait for the 2007 movie,the 2007 movie game,and the 2007 movie toys (which i do believe will imediately fall victim to my kitbashing skills) raise your hand. *waves hand histerically*
