A single image from ACToys shows off the vehicle mode of 19 toys of various classes for the Transformers: Dark of the Moon toy line. Most of them we have seen before but a few new additions include deluxe blue Wrecker, deluxe Sideswipe, voyager helicopter, and leader side of the Rosenbaurer Panther Fire Truck rumored to be Sentinel Prime or Ultra Magnus. The full list from bottom left according to TFW2005 is legends Skids (new), deluxe NASCAR blue Wrecker (new), deluxe Crankcase/Dread, deluxe NASCAR Green Wrecker, legends Barricade, deluxe Starscream, deluxe Sideswipe (new), deluxe Ratchet, deluxe Barricade, deluxe Jolt, deluxe Bumblebee, deluxe Skids, voyager Military Helicopter(new), voyager Shockwave, voyager Megatron, voyager Ironhide, voyager Ratchet (new), voyager Optimus Prime and leader Rosenbauer Panther Fire Truck (new).
Below is a new DOTM video review for legends Crankcase, the current favorite name for the Suburbans from Chicago. The character name still has not been officially confirmed. Hopefully soon we will be getting reviews of non-legends class Transformers.
Sentinel Prime...so I dont know if continuity is out the window, but in ROTF, didnt the Fallen say the last "Prime" was dead?
ReplyDeleteI immediately saw the red fire truck in the back... and my heart skipped a beat!
ReplyDeleteI really really look forward to seeing the robot mode for the red fire truck. Sentinel Prime or Ultra Magnus, I don't care. I just think this character is gonna be awesome.
ReplyDeleteEven the Fallen couldn't know all what happens in the universe. If fire truck really is Sentinel Prime, then any Decepticon didn't know he's been in stasis inside the Ark.
ReplyDeleteSoundwave and Wheeljack? Mercedes and Ferrari?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous The human astronauts in the trailer for DOTM discovered The Ark in the 1960's. I think it's fair to say that the Transformers probably know about it.
ReplyDelete"Even the Fallen couldn't know all what happens in the universe. "
ReplyDeleteBut he felt Optimus Prime death, so he would feel if Sentinel died or not.
Yes he felt Optimus Prime's death but the gold bot who is also or was also a Prime may have went into Stasis lock and so he was not giving off any signal to be tracked.
ReplyDeleteOne thing feels still strange. If Sentinel prime is this yellow bot in trailer and the fire truck, why would he choose such a vehicle being his alternate mode on Earth?
ReplyDeletewhy do I have the feeling that Targetmasters are going to be involved?
ReplyDeleteThe Nascars look cooler than I thought.
ReplyDeleteAbout Sentinel Prime, what if the Prime title can be passed to others like Ironhide? Before Optimus was a Prime he must have been a normal Transformer, Until someone passed him the Prime title. We have to think that this is Bay's version and he can change some stuffs like the story in the first movie, instead of Primus or The Quintessons there was the Allspark.
Anonymous 11:40 Do you refer to the Mechtech thing? Im pretty sure that they wont use in the movie, It would look ridiculously. But some of those weapons look cool like Ironhides gun(s.
Anonymous 11:22 If the rumor about Sentinel being Optimus father is true then i guess he picks a firetruck to look like his son.
I wonder if the helicopter is in the movie.
"why do I have the feeling that Targetmasters are going to be involved?"
ReplyDeleteNo idea, because MechTech is clearly not Targetmaster technology, and none of the weapons transforms into little robot/human.
"Yes he felt Optimus Prime's death but the gold bot who is also or was also a Prime may have went into Stasis lock and so he was not giving off any signal to be tracked"
Statis lock means that TF is still alive, but with minimum life signs. So he would still know if he's dead or not.
funny how they have the toy for the firetruck but no name for it yet, and maybe when megatron killed optimus, megs sent a signal to the fallen telling him he was dead, i dont think he "felt" his death, because optimus would feel the fallen being alive too and from my knowledge didnt know who the fallen was when he was told the fallen will rise again
ReplyDeleteMaybe Optimus dies for real this time and the fire truck becomes whoever-Prime? This is probably the last movie. OP is gonna die.
ReplyDeletenaa naa naa Optimus can't die again will be suck to see M.Bay killing him a second time plus it can't be a second prime sentinel prime? come on guys the fire truck is most likely to be Ultra Magnus you guys are dumb don't you see the wreckers are in the movie and UM is part of the wreckers...
ReplyDelete@TFLAMB operator.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say this is a kick ass site that I have been following scince the first movie came out and appreciate the site.

ReplyDeletePrime wasn't one of the first Primes, so he doesn't have the same connection they had.

ReplyDeleteMr very smart Anonymous, Ultra Magnus is not a wrecker :)
they wont kill optimus becuse they tried that in the 1980's movie and hwd to rewrite the ending becuse ti caused such a upset
ReplyDelete"they wont kill optimus becuse they tried that in the 1980's movie and hwd to rewrite the ending becuse ti caused such a upset"
ReplyDeleteCan you write it again, but i a way i can understand...?
The red fire truck is megan foximus prime, sorry couldn't resist
ReplyDeletewhen all the Transformers Dark of the Moon figures release? all i know its in May
ReplyDeleteso if optimus wasnt one of the original primes why was the fallen able to feel his presence? if optimus couldnt feel the fallen then why would the fallen be able to feel optimus?
ReplyDelete"so if optimus wasnt one of the original primes why was the fallen able to feel his presence? if optimus couldnt feel the fallen then why would the fallen be able to feel optimus?"
ReplyDeleteBecause the fallen is the one of the original Primes, and has powers Optimus doesn't posses. Check and mate.
I think the truck will be Ultra Magnus cos he was a wrecker wasn't he? and they said that the character would be real nice for g1 fans and as far as i know Sentinel wasn't even in g1
ReplyDeleteSentinel was in G-1 but not a lot.
ReplyDeleteI just want to point out one thing about the fire truck toy. Has it in any way been proven that it is a Leader class toy? Not that I have seen. We all know that Hasbro threw the size thing out the window with this toy line. Some toys are bigger and some smaller than other toys in the same size chart. For example with the voyagers... we have Ironhide, Ratchet, Megatron and Prime and not a one of them is on the same size level as the others. Some of the Deluxes are the same size as Voyager Megatron's truck cab. thats BS... so again, as far as the Fire Truck goes, it could be a voyager as well. I know Sentinel Prime's name came up on the first toy list as a leader class and that could happen but on the latest walmart toy list we have no leaders mentions and a voyager Fire Truck do we not? So if that list is right and the Fire Truck shown in the pic turns out to be a voyager... it does not prove its Sentinel Prime. It could be Ultra Magnus as well.
ReplyDeleteit sadly is sentinal. I am not a big fan of sentinal.if it was ultra magnus i would explode.but it is ufitialy sentinal prime.
ReplyDeletei found a deluxe class thundercracker At TARGET here at stockton CA so i got him
ReplyDeletethe rosenbauer panther fire truck is sentinal prime. supposedly the greatest transformers warrior.
