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

Now THAT would be one of the best ideas I have ever heard...
It would be cool if RS considered your idea.. Think of the sales they'd make!

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
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

They will probably use the new gen. of chassis.
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?

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!

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...

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.
