Over the past few days we've been reporting on more and more TFA carded figures showing up on eBay. Well, now's the time we start to see more complete loose figures showing up thanks to e-seller roguetradertoys. Don't be surprised if you start seeing more and more of these floating around on internet auction sites as the show will shortly make its debut. Check out the different auctions below.
Lockdown
Bulkhead
Deluxe Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Prowl
Starscream
Keep in mind that you will most likely see these figures jump from auction to auction until the figures hit the market.

its one being constantly passed down.
and these are out of the package.
these are gonna get more expensive once the show becomes popular and by then these will become less "minty" from being taken out and put into new packages.
this is pissing me off.

just wait till the next wave.
Dinobots, Soundwave, do I need to name more?

Those guys just look bizarre. Soundwave as an SUV with a guitar? WTF, mates...
@ An_de: the traffic light is a flail weapon.

these are the only guys we've saw on auction sites.
4 Autobots
2 decepticons
4 deleuxes
2 voyegers
sounds like good numbers for the first wave.
I hope to see the rest in their packaging soon.

I find the new dinobots bizarre in a cool way. better looking the Energon Grimlock. and Grimlock'll get his g1 transformation if any body hated his classics version.
And Soundwave...
guitar lazerbeak sounds awesome in my opinion
I think they should make a drumset rumble
ravage could be a... what instrument looks like a jaguar?
look at it this way
which sound the less relating to sound(wave)
1.tapedeck with cassettes
2.Spaceship - barrels?
3.Car with stereo system(Scions have big stereo systems me thinks) with guitar
in conclusion Animated makes more sense then Cybertron
that frickin Traffic Light is the worse weapon ever.
but at least prowl has ninja stars and turns into a motorcycle

The traffic light could be cool if the string was actually a poseable wire! But I'm guessing it's not.
If Animated Grimlock transformed like G1 Grimlock and looks like a Classics figure, I'd get him... And there's more to Soundwave than mere sound, my friend!

Umm, when did that happen? Another one of those "Movie! Rare!" B.S. things eBay sellers try these days?

Nope, the auction tells the truth.

We've haven't seen anything on voyeger prime since comic-con.
And I'm sure we won't be seeing earth mode Megatron for awhile. As he's not suppose to get an earth mode in the show till the end of the first season.

Must have missed that. Seems strange that the series would debut so much earlier than the toyline, losing a lot of the impact and traction on the general public.
"cool new cartoon!"
"where can I buy the toys?"
"you can't"
"oh"
"but if you wait half a year, just happen to remember, and you're not completely over it, they may just be starting to arrive"
"uh-huh. what else ya got?"
Can't blame a person for being sceptical though. Otherwise I really could have a 27 foot long penis, 20 gorgeous Russian brides with whom I have a "lot of common", as much software as I wanted for $1.25, retire and live off my investments in a company I've never heard of that just keep going up and up, be buzzed all day long on legal "herb" while playing with my uber-rare G1 Devastator KO and Movie Arcee. And if that didn't make me happy, my shipment of anti-depressants and weight loss miracles from Canada would surely be arriving real soon.

What's that all about?
Will the repaint come with a pole so we can piece together the traffic light bot from Cybertron, cause that would be cool!
Posted by Sonray on December 2nd, 2007 @ 12:34pm CST
The only decent looking one that i MIGHT buy is Starscream.

Got to admit though - its the faces that mainly put me off. I only really buy TFs that I can display with ones from other series and these would stick out like a sore thumb.
Hasbro - Well done but NO THANKS!!!

Bulkhead looks really really good with the similar toned paint scheme!

I think it's been leaked by Hasbro to increase the desire for these figures. You always want what you cannot have!

They have done it before, can't say there's anything from stopping them this time around. It's not like it's some insidious plot, it's just smart marketing.

That's a word you never hear mentioned in the same sentence as Hasbro, unless preceded by "it's not very".

bulkhead has a missing finger or whatever those clamp-hand things are on his left hand.
Dude, are very observant or do you just read auction descriptions? These figures get better looking by the minute, but my money's already destined for more Classics.

The chin and helmet remind me of those Egyptian masks.

The face looks a bit like the one of Reideen.
