The movie may be months away from release but the toy leaks have already begun. Pictures of the prototype version of
deluxe Bumblebee and
leader Ironhide have hit Seibertron.com. Bumblebee appears to mostly remain the same but now has a spoiler, driver side netting and a large something or other as an accessory. As for Ironhide, there is no frame of reference so hard to know for sure he is leader class but the incomplete figure shows the character will continue to undergo transformation modifications much like his previous iterations. The idea of a leader class version this character is very appealing idea so hopefully the info is accurate. TFormers.com had posted another potential leak in the form of a transforming truck but pulled it. However, Collecticon.org has now posted it
here. It doesn't look like any truck seen on the various sets so may not even be TF related.
Update: Thanks to the comments here are two more pictures
from Facebook. One is another angle on the truck pic from collecticon and the other is a look at a motorcycle that a
robot picture shows is Wreck-Gar. At this point I think the motorcycle is for the "Reveal the Shield" line, not Transformers 3.
those little circle tabs on the roof and back doors of ironhide make it look like he is goin to combine with somethin

Something about the round notches on the cab of Ironhide bother me. It's too messy-looking even at a prototype stage. The pipes are just too darn fat. The round notches look like attach holes for accessories, something that Leader Class versions are very good at hiding.
ReplyDeleteEven Voyager Class series are clean and trim. In short, I don't think that's a Leader Class version of Ironhide. It looks more like a Deluxe Version or something less.
here's a good custom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0etn1_xgEvg
ReplyDeleteThe truck in my opinion looks like a voyager class toy, similar to Cybertron Mudflap. I`m really hopeing this isnt megatron as the rumors suggest. The motorcycle i believe is wreckgar and i`m not sure if its from TF3.
ReplyDeleteBumblebee definitely looks tacky so i`m certain its a deluxe. The gun plugs onto a slot in the top of the car. Ironhide barely looks good aswell so i believe its a deluxe aswell. The slots are probably for his weapons (Which seems to be the main gimick for TF3)
The tanker truck toy is modeled after this leaked transformer from the chicago shooting

Great catch, Anon. Confirmation of Megs. He's kind of slumming it a bit with the head shroud thing and he looks a bit tall and thin, but I'm liking the way they're going with it. Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteI`m really dissapointed with megs. He looks incredibly weaker now. They`ve definently made his charecter alot weaker to make Shockwave seem much better. His head and body structure make me believe voyager scale at best.
ReplyDeleteReally really dissapointed in Megatron. If Shocky isnt as awesome as he is in G1 or any other series then i may skip buying any toys from TF3 line-up.
i love love love how megs looks in the toy and cant wait to see him in the movie ...:D thank mr.bay megs looks awsome and i dont care what ppl say about his new look.
ReplyDeleteCool, looks good to me, i guess he is weaker as he was falling apart at the end of ROTF after the beating he got from prime, he lost an arm and half his face if i remember correctly.
ReplyDeleteThe Bike is Reveal the Shield Wrec-gar!
ReplyDeleteAt least we know its from China. Those writing on the laptop are Chinese writings,
ReplyDeletey megatron become a truck? previous 2 version is quite powerful (although it is not)...
ReplyDeletebut now a truck? it looks slow already...
Ironhide looks a bit messy in his alt-mode,but I hope he looks more kick-ass in his bot mode...
ReplyDeletei like transformers..
