Excellent find! Looks like Hasbro is going with the strategy of mixing vehicle and robot forms of the figures, rather than having them transform. Can't say I blame 'em; the Transforming figures could get broken pretty easily. I'm also intrigued that the some of the striking surfaces are robot parts, rather than sabers or swords.

i like that axe dude! They look like the same scale as the Star Wars, so integration should be okay. Very cool, thanks!

I dont like that optimus fire/missile truck thing. Its pretty stupid looking setting on a weird extended base thing like it is. Although, I guess it would be rather hard to aim and shoot if it wasnt elevated more.
I think the rest of the figures are pretty darn cool looking. The only negative comment I could give is, why the heck are they all kinda bent at the knees like they are squatting? Well, thats only 7 figures out of a possible 30, so likely there are allot more posses.

I agree, Optimus Prime in Truck form should have been a Mega off that bat. The truck on a rock doesn't work as well, as say, Luke

And now, the last one (courtesy of this thread): Signal Flare!

The second one down looks more like he would be Energon Rodimus to me.
I am looking forward to Transformers Attacktix and am really waiting to see how it compares to Star Wars.
There really aren't troops. There are pretty much just 2 factions (at least from the figures shown), so it will be interesting to see if they have more subdivisions rather than Autobot and Decepticon.
There are always the obvious repaints. Of the figures shown here, I only see two who do not have repaints (yet)...Optimus Prime (I guess he is actually 2 Attacktix there) and Crumplezone. But Optimus has the obvious repaints they could get away with (Ultra Magnus, Scourge, Nemesis Prime).
I would almost think that the line will have to have a few. Probably they will carry molds over from one series to the next. My guess is that any of the guys whose repaints are really old we would see first. So Roiumus, Strongarm, and Signal Flare molds could also see the release of their repaints in teh first set though I think it would be smart if they held off on releasing Galvatron or any Primes.
I guess it goes without saying that a lot of us will be hoping to see classic characters. I'd be in for all Generations. I am sure G1 would sell well but some Beast Wars characters deserve their time as well. They had some weapons (Like Dinobot's spinny thing or Depth Charge's chest disks) that could lend well to the game too.
