Well I would have preferred a tie in to the Tokyo Drift movie, but this is better than nothing :grin: .

Not up on the Transformer characters so did some searching...

Bumblebee - Tuner-ish looking hatchback

Optimus Prime - Cab over semi truck

Barricade - truck with rocket launcher

Wonder how they will handle the extra wheels on the Barricade and Optimus Prime trucks...

On the commercial I saw, bumblebee was an 80's Camaro. They'll probably use the same mold from the trans am past and present.

The previews don't look like it's for lil kids! Looks kinda scarey :shock:
One of my good friends son's luv Transformers, but when she saw the commercial, she said she wasn't sure they'd want to see it :lol:

They will probably use the new gen. of chassis. :-o
I am pleased with those, so if anything, it's more cars for those empty shells we have extras of:???:

But those links Richh, are for the newer toys.
I want to see the O.G. cars.

These are what I grew up with........
Optimus Prime
Gen 2

Bumblebee was in fact a Vw bug. I hope to see a Herbie-like release on that one.
gen 2

But, here is what I see RS doing with Optimus Prime......
look at the bottom of the page, to the right........ recognize it? :lol:

They have so many variations of the names, You may never know what they'll come out with.

Whatever they do, I am sure to buy one, and hack it to suit my taste! :smile: :lol:

So, what's the deal with these?

Just a fanboy rumor, or are we expecting them to be in stores within a few more days/weeks? Fanboy site said May, it's almost June. Movie releases June 4...

:lol:

With how we've all been begging for something new since the ZZ 'cars' were cancelled, would it be too much to ask for either a review or an overview?

Chassis info, any pics... Come on, ya gotta give us some kind of a teaser.
