First Look at Movie Deluxe Dropkick and CrossSell Revealed

Front paged and credited.

Where is this "CrossSell" character? I don't see any names listed, as those guys on the bottom of the packaging are cut off.

Oh, and... Dropkick is a rather odd-looking robot. I'm not sure I'm too keen on it. I think I'm done shopping for movie toys already.

Another con, i supose this the payback from the Classics line were the cons were outnumbered...

CrossSell seems to be the White or Tan Barricade repaint. Second one from the Right.

I like Dropkick. The Pickup truck mode looks cool. Some kind of tricked out GMC truck.

From the others, I'm absolutely getting Bumblebee. not sure about Jazz. The one with the red gun looks intriguing. And The first one on the right side, looks...well...he looks round, circular. I have no idea what it could be.

As usual, nice alt, terrible robot. I'll have to pass. But that New Camaro Deluxe will be mine!

Well He looks odd. He would Have looked better in red.

He looks intresting, I'll ad him to the collective. The figs on the bottom look to grainy I couldn't make them out, but I think I saw not 1 bit 2 I didn't recognize. And again, I may be very wrong here, but is that Baricade's new paint job?

Nice i like the huge decepticon logo on him.

I like Dropkick's color.
Which one is Crosscell?

i bet the new barricade crosssell

Am I imagining things, or does there seem to be a lot more Decepticons than Autobots that are coming out. It's too bad that the Barricade repaint doesn't seem to be a Prowl. I like Dropkick though. He looks beefy.

Edited to add:

Has anyone noticed the giant Decepticon logo paint job on his hood/roof?

hes a basic drone figure from the video game right?

I'm impressed

cool, I wished that the barricade repaint would have a new head, boooooooo! dropkick rox! and I wish prowl was barricade-shockwave experiment!

the one on the far right looks like a blue repaint of swindle to me, but maybe its new, I dunno

that white one next to the 08 bumblebee is definatly new tho right?

EnergonPrimeRules wrote:that white one next to the 08 bumblebee is definatly new tho right?

I believe we've already seen that one, Its called towline if I'm correct.

So the back of the packaging is:

2007 Bumble bee
Towline
Jazz
Crossell
and what appears to be a recolour of Swindle.

Edit: My bad, I seem to have confused Towline for Longarm

yeah no doubt whats up with the skinny ckicken legs on these movie toys......lomgarm looks decent though. and why would they repaint baricade his figure is so so bad you can even pose it

thats one big decepticon logo takes the hood and the top of the truck

I just registered for the forums because I think I have some insight into this new name.

When Hasbro places pictures of other product on their packaging (like the row of bots on the bottom of the card) they refer to this form of advertising as a "cross sell."

Also if you translate some of the ACtoys thread you see that they refer to the new bot (Barricade repaint) as being in the "cross-sell" or in that bottom row of deluxes.

Although I could be wrong, I highly doubt that the name of the Barricade repaint is cross sell, croscell or any other variation.

Also: the deluxe pictured next to the Barricade repaint is Payload the Armored truck.

I'm pretty sure CrossSell is just the term for the standard "also available" bit. Though if one of these guys IS named CrossSell, I'll buy it for that alone.

Glad to see that the Barricade redeco stays a Decepticon. Wonder who that other 'con is on the far right.

Loving all these movie toys, and hoping for more piucs of the Barricade redeco and the mystery 'con.

I have to agree with you, Krizack. Crosssell doesn't sound like a name of Transformer character. Maybe "Cross Shell," or something, but that would still be stupid (unless if it was a motocross bike with heavy artillery, but that would still be stupid).

No no no.

"Cross Sell" is a term used for the advertising of other figures. It's not the name of a character. Here's Wikipedia's listing for a Cross Sell: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_selling

The other figues you see listed on the packaging are what's known as a cross sell.

Anywho...

From left to right:

'09 Bumblebee, Longarm, Final Battle Jazz, "Final Battle"(?) Barricade, Payload.

FBJ, Payload, and Longarm can be seen in greater detail here:

EDIT: I used a translator on the post about Dropkick, looks like in the cross sell, it's just Barricade again. It didn't actually say it was, but it looks to be Final Battle Barricade, like Final Battle Jazz. If I'm seeing this correctly, looks like he might be sporting Prowl colors.

They weren't outnumbered if you counted the constructicon repaints

Nice. Must have him. When does the next wave come out? The Barricade repaint doesnt look that good. To bad we cant see the names. I want to know who the one all the way to the left is.

I didn't know that there would be new figures

Thanks for clearing that up... Payload looks nice.

Another video game character, this oughta be interesting. And it's 2008 for the new Bumblebee, not '09

Ya he's video game character all right. Iy says so on the top of the box, but the glare cuts alot of it off.

I like the looks of this one. Seems most of the non-movie figures are the better of the bunch. Exceptions include swindle and dreadwing. Both are so garbage.

i do like the idea that the robots become realistic vehicles again. instead of cybertronain suspense disbelief vehicles

dj_funk_gut wrote:i do like the idea that the robots become realistic vehicles again. instead of cybertronain suspense disbelief vehicles

That's what I like the most too. I like the Cybertron and Titanium ones too, but these are my new faves tied with the Classics line (which I HOPE they continue along with Alternators).

I think the front page news announcement needs to be updated to reflect that there is no figure called crosswise and that the only figure is the new one seen in the images...

Fatimus Prime is back in his own subtle way

Yay! More trucks! Hooray for more truck Transformers!

Dropkick looks pretty cool, I'm sure I'll get him.

Dragonslayer wrote:Yay! More trucks! Hooray for more truck Transformers!

It's all about bad mother truckers (/shameless-plug).

I'm not sure how anyone can discern much from the 'cross sell'--the other toys available at the time of this one--

Drop Kick is interesting. Truck mode is cool!

._. HE LOOKS LIKE A NORMAL TRANSFORMER. *will buy him abd love him*

I like the giant Decepticon insignia on Dropkick's hood. (Not that I have or ever will like the movie Insignias) I can't see CrossSell that well, but I'll probably get him, I like Barricade a lot.

Some of these new characters are also in the 3D card set. Toys I know are coming out are Arcee, Dreadwing, Payload, Final Battle Jazz, Final Battle Barricade, Longarm, Dropkick, and a different Bumblebee. It would cool if they make toys for all the charaters from the cards and video game. Does anyone know if there doing that? Other charcters in card game include, Cliffjumper, Evac, Jetfire, Mirage, Smokescreen, Swerve, Thundercracker, Protoform Bumblebee, Protoform Starscream. They can all be seen here http://wizards.com/transformers/

Thank you! I'm sort of embarrased at how many people didn't catch onto that, it's porbably just a mistranslation from the Asian boards.

Dropkick is cool though, anyone notice the all the decals on the entire hood and roof of the truck form a giant Decepticon symbol?

Wicked, eh?

Okay, FOUR OF US HAVE POINTED THIS OUT NOW! CrossSell is NOT one of the guys on the cardback! CrossSell is the name for the "Also Available" section! THE CHEAT IS BEHIND THE FREAKIN' BOX! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR DOGS!

what is Mirage supposed to be? Same question for Smokescreen. The more movie-inspired toy goodness, the better. Hopefully not just Deluxe, but in Voyagers too. This is great!!!

Heh, well, I have to admit, I was sorely tempted to leave a slightly scathing response to the lack of sensibility that came out of those posts. Hell I had even posted it, but then thought better of it. No point in hurting someone's feelings, getting in trouble, causing a flame war in a relatively calm thread.

And damn Hasbro (and Activision). Damn them both for making figures I'm starting to want. I almost caved and bought Swindle...and I promised myself...nothing but the cast only.

...and wouldn't you know it? Dropkick, Longarm, Payload, Swindle...all look nice. Really, really nice.

Grr...CURSES! FOILED AGAIN!

Hrms. LOTS of Deluxes this time, seems to be Hasbro's newest favorite figure size (compared to the scads of Basics up 'till now). I like it, almost like Ironhide's younger, evil brother.

I tried to enhance the pic s bit, didnt do too well, but you kinda see the colors on Barricade a bit better



also DropKicks bio.

DK didnt want to come to earth, but Meg. made him. He'd rather stay home on Cyb. in the dark being angry, but Meg. has hime hauling materials all over this lame planet. He doesnt even know why the Allspark is so important of why the Autobots need to be getting in his way all the time. He just wishes everyone would leave him alone. Still, while he's here, he might as well blow stuff up. Thats always fun.

Sounds like a teenager!

Maybe that Barricade is a blue police car, like I guessed...
We'll have to wait and see.

Not getting him. He's not even a real (licensed) vehicle.

Sonic wrote:Not getting him. He's not even a real (licensed) vehicle.

Huh? He's a customized Chevy Silverado pickup truck. The bottom of the card where they label the licensing isn't seen (it would be below the names of the "Also Available" characters").

Don't think so. If it was licenced, there would be a logo on the grille, 'pickup mode' would say '(name of truck) mode,' and there would be the manufacturer's logo on the card in the gap between the robot mode an the cosells.
