UK TOY FAIR NEWS

The UK Toy Fair 2009 kicked off today, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was represented in rare style. Hisstank and 2005 Boards Member streetfield1 was in attendance and has shared a huge wealth of information with meh.

- Devastator will be around about 2 feet tall and built like a gorilla.
- The Human Alliance Bumblebee that we have been seeing recently will be the first release in his range.
- No toys of the Fallen at present.
- There will be new Robot Replicas of Ironhide, Ratchet and Starscream.
- More information on the RPM - Robot Powered Machines - line. The cars are "Hot Wheels style" and are mainly Autobots, with their robot modes embossed on the bottom. The racetrack has tracks all over the place, and instead of the central "mountain" you sometimes see on these tracks, you've got Devastator!
- There will be a radio controlled Optimus Prime truck with Peter Cullen soundclips.
- The tank mode Megatron toy (which version is not specified) was on display, although nobody was available to comment on whether or not he is in the film.

Some footage, featuring animatics, was also shown. If you do not want to be spoiled, look away now!

- Devastator is... devastating! The mixing drum in his chest becomes a massive turbine grinder. It creates a turbine effect, sucking everything in Devastator's path up, and spitting it out of his back.
- Wheelie is effectively confirmed as a remote controlled car, in line with other rumors we have heard recently.
- Legions of Decepticon drones, resembling Frenzy, will cause carnage in the Witwicky household.
- Sam fights for his life on top of a car against Pretender Alice.
- Captain Lennox also gets to see some serious action against the Decepticons, with full helicopter backup.


Alright....firstly THE DEVASTATOR TOY WILL BE AMAZING. COME ON INCOME TAX REFUND DADDY NEEDS A NEW COMBINER! Also...I like the weapon idea for him. LOLZ at Wheelie being brought back. I think Bay is bringing back almost everything we hated about the franchise (Wheelie and Pretenders). Admittedly both of these concepts are handled better in Headmasters. Wheelie isn't as annoying and the Pretenders in Super God Masterforce are cool. I'm lookin' at you Gilmer! Legions of Decepticon Drones? Guess that's the 40 robot fight. It's the same damn robots over and over again. Lame. I can't wait for some pics. No Fallen toys. BECAUSE MEGS IS THE FALLEN.


Let me rant about that. Bay says Meg's new tank mode is just a toy. They also claimed that the Fallen is a separate character. Well I think Megatron is possessed
by the Fallen. The toy will be sold as Megatron because they need to keep the copyright up. If he is possessed it still means it's a separate character. And I think that's what the Fallen is doing in Defiance Issue #1. Which is awesome.
Okay, enjoy your night.
