New Images of Movie Cliffjumper, Landmine, and.....Camshaft?

Landmine I'll nab, Cliffie, probably, but Camshaft...hell no! No more repaints!!!

I like Landmine.

Pass on the rest.

I'll get CJ and Landmine too.

If CamShaft had a new head, maybe.
But as is, nah...

Landmines pretty awesome.

I might get Cliff aswell

Ah, I was thinking Camshaft was gonna be a repaint of that Swerve figure. Still, I like the Swerve mold and I'll probably get Camshaft. Same with CJ and Landmine, though I don't like their faces.

hopefully the Mig mold might be relesd as a autobot.

Landmine's okay. His head looks like a football helmet... and I don't like his feet, but the alt mode is so cool, and I'm sure I can pose him to look better than that. The rest I'll pass.

Definately grabbinf Landmine.

Maybe Cliffjumper since I have a crazy repaint idea for that mold, and having the car already red makes it easier. Wonder if I could remove those silver stripes or if I'll have to paint over them...

I'll probably end up with all of them. I plan on putting a new head on CJ and I like the Jeep thingy, that's cool.

I skipped Swindle the first time around and the gray body on Camshaft will be easier to repaint than the red of swindle for a custom, so that works for me.

Whoah, is that Landmine or Hannibal?

Yeah, Landmine is a nice one. I like Cliffjumper too, just cause really like the Bumblebee mold (which I got at last this past friday YES!!!!)

Camshaft is a maybe.

That packaging rules!

I like Landmine even though his face is that of a Bionacle

Camshaft literally sucks

He's an Autobot not a Decepticon drone

Why couldn't they have changed the head?

Alot of double-standards here..."I'll get Cliffjumper but not Camshaft, since he's a repaint"...wtf do you people think Cliffjumper is?!

LAndmine is a must, not shure on CJ, and the Chamshaft, hell no!

I like Landmines' catchers' mask.

Yay, more craptastic Movie Line repaints! The Cybertron series had the best repaints ever, and now it's being followed by the line with the worst redecos.

Everytime there is a Bumblebee toy, the G1 fanatics all clamor for a Cliffjumper repaint (because why should cliffjumper ever be anything more than just a red Bumblebee?), even when a repaint would be awful, case in point.

Landmine is cool though.

Where the hell are the original deluxes? I still need a plain old Barricade.

CJ just looks strange to me. His paint app seems so bleak. Camshaft is such a bad mold and that head ruins Landmine for me. Those marble eyes are strange. I'm disappointed with this wave and will probably pass.

I had a rule that I wasn't going to get any characters that didn't show up in the movie but I like the look of Landmine. Def pass on the other two.

I really like Landmine. And truly like Cliffjumper, the red really works well with the mold.

As for Camshaft, i still dislike the lens heads, and that mold in general, so will pass.

I'm underwhelmed by them all. The only one that even remotely looks interesting is Landmine, and really, those funky eyes of his and his catcher's mask helmet-like head really don't help it too much.

I think with this set I may be done with the Movie line.

I guess I'll just wait patiently for the Animated line and beyond to start up.

Not too happy with Cliffjumper (if I want a '08 Bumblebee mold I'll buy another yellow one)...plus, at least to me, it screams cheap knockoff. There's not one thing different between the 2 except a layer of paint (I know that's why we call them REPAINTS, but this one just makes me angry looking at it for some reason)
Meh, enough ranting on that one, sorry.

As for Landmine, now THAT is one I like. New mold, original looking...not to mention cool as all hell

Won't even bother venting on that Camshaft

Cheers!

[Why couldn't they have changed the head?]

Because that costs money, something a straight repaint is done to save them money.

I like Landmine's head, it's different. It would be boring if every tf had the same head design.

The other 2, well... Cliffjumper is a maybe just because the mold is so good, but camshaft....hahaha. Heck no.

I really like the new packaging design. The blue glowing electricity is really eye appealing. I also love the head shot of Landmine on the front of the package, it's awesome. I might have to get 2 Landmines, one to open one to keep sealed. I don't do that often.

I wish Camshaft had a new head.

Cliffjumper looks the best. Landmine is cool and Camshaft is just meh.

Landmine would have looked awesome in the movie but I can imagine the "stupid 1987 pretenders have no business in the movie" uproar from the majority of 'fans'.

Definitely getting landmine and camshaft, I missed out on swindle the first time around.

New packaging. Nice.

Camshaft gets no love - this time a repaint of a Decepticon?
And...repaint of a shelfwarmer Decepticon Swindle?

I knew they would make a Cliffjumper repaint so I skipped on BB, definitley getting, not sure on Landmine yet

landmine has the best gun of the entire movie line. def picking up, and maybe CJ. the new packaging is really eye-catching!

The Swindle mold is not worth purchasing. Not even once. Don't learn the hard way! Pass big time.

As good as the mould is, I don't need another Concept Camaro.

Depending on the articulation of the military vehicle, I might get him, though I'd have to repaint him and put some GI Joe or UNSC markings on the side.

I will say this-I'd like to see Landmine when Jin gets a hold of him.

That's part of their "post movie merchandicing" strategy. They needed a way to keep interest going in the toys, and make them seem like something more than "just the same ol' Transformers we saw four months ago (before they all utterly vanished leaving empty shelves nationwide)".

Thus, Allspark Power is the new theme. These new robots have been infused with the power of the Allspark, or some nonsense like that, which is represented by the little hints of electric blue coloring on all of this new wave of toys. Look closely - you'll see the same bright blue on every toy in the "Allspark Power" line.

aren't all the TFs already "infused with allspark power?"

I'll agree, the new packaging looks very sharp! Hope this new "Movie line part 2" will give us a bigger Bonecrusher toy!

QTF!
Jin even made swindle look good.
I am definitely getting Landmine and repainting/altering to be Outback.

Camshaft: Apparently they designed the Swindle mold on National Opposites Day. A bight red and gray Autobot colored Decepticon drone. Okay.... Then a Decepticon colored Autobot drone. Okay.... Obviously someone needed clued in that they got this backwards a while ago. I'm a tad torn. I'd like to buy Camshaft, swap out the faction symbols so I'd have an Autobot drone (to bolster their ranks) and Camshaft does look good in those colors...as a Decepticon. I have no problem with the mold as it is, it's quirky and grows on you in goofy ways. (I love the camera face and googly proportions.) But..he is a repaint, and as per my repaint/remold rule...I just can't bring myself to buy him.

Cliffjumper: Oh my, how original. A red Bumblebee? Who on Earth saw that coming?! (NOTE: I knew about the repaint long ago, just had to douse it in sarcasm a bit.) Could they have made him anymore garish or bland? All black, all red, and then splotches of *bright* sky/baby blue (which really screws with my eyes in the pictures, such a contrast...) and the bland silver and black. WTF? Seriously... as per my repaint/remold rule...he is a definite NO.

Landmine: One word: INCREDIBLE. One of the best Deluxe Class figures of the past decade. His vehicle mode is fantastic and accurate (as much as possible) to the source material. (thumbs up Hasbro!) His robot mode is weird but in a cool way. We're so used to our Autobots and Decepticons taking on human designs and proportions, and we quickly forget that they *are*, in fact alien. This guy reminds us quickly that he's an alien and so is his race...and they friggin' rock the casbah with how cool they are. His transformation looks to be complex enough to be satisfying, but not so much so that you'll throw him across the room in a fit of anger. (I'm looking at *you* Energon Slugslinger!)

Packaging: Ugh. Boring! I wasn't expecting a drastic change, of course. I wasn't expecting them to redo everything and raise costs. I was expecting a tad more than slapping blue lightning and the Allspark crap title on it. I was thinking maybe a eye shot of Megatron peering out from behind the TF logo or something. (like some villains in other movie posters, like Star Wars, etc.)

Ah well.

All in all, definitely let down. The packaging is unimpressive, the repaints are ridiculous, and the only new figure, while great, is not enough to stave off the hunger for more new figures.

I can't wait for the Cadillac Escalade Deluxe Class figure, and I'm hoping they do upsize Bonecrusher to Voyager Class at least. (He *could* use an upsize.) I'd buy Leader Class Blackout if they made one, for sure. But I can live with him as is.

Starscream's fine as is. I surely hope they don't fire up a LC mold for him. =\

Landmine wins.

Landmine is cool but the other two not so much

landmine face in 1 word badass

Landmine: Hellz Yeah!
Cliffjumper: Maybe.
"Camera"shaft: God no!

Since when are ANY movie deluxes shelfwarmers? The only one I can even find with any hope of it being in stock is G1 redeco Jazz, and that's because each of my local Targets put a whole case of them out at every store and they have 4 or 5 left in stock. Everything else sold out long ago. The shelf warmers are the Cyber Slammers, the Real Gear and most recently the Tech Toys.

It is just me or does Landmin look like he plays hockey or something?

I'll get Landmine if he's in scale but I'll skip the other two. I have BB and Swindle already.

That just caused my eye to twitch in pain.

Well done.

Yes, mission accomplished Prime.

the look of the camshaft looks cool so I might get him
