Yodabreaker, Malform and SuperflyTNT have Press Passes so they have assured me that we will have images of every Series 2 TF on display. Sadly, there may only be five... but we will get them all. Here is a quick taste. |

Yeah, I'd say they look about perfect to me.  |

Here is a quick taste.Actually, there were only 2!  Well….. There was the G1 optimus and megatron, and then there was arcee, strongarm, and galvatron, all of which we have not seen released as of yet. So maybe they are all TF2 figures. Yodabreaker got down on the floor to take pics of the bottoms of the bases. But I dont think he will be able to post them untill tomorrow, as he is staying another day for the tournament championship. |

I'm workin' as fast as I can! It took a while to type out my tourney summary (and I had to eat dinner), so I'm gonna see if my wife'll let me have the computer for a bit to get the pics offloaded. I'll edit this post once the pics are semi-ready.

But I dont think he will be able to post them untill tomorrow, as he is staying another day for the tournament championship. Unfortunately, I think they just used bases from already released figures for the prototypes, because the bottom of the G1 Megatron said "Put Optimus Prime Vehicle mode into play from your Back-Ups." Here are some crappy photos that I took with my friend's camera (mine is broken): Strongarm  Arcee  Galvatron  |

WOW! I cant wait for series 2! Im glad to see at least one new striker. My only question is, who does that arm belong to in the left side of the picture showing Arcee? It looks like it has a shoulder mounted launcher. Could he be a "double shooter"? One launcher on each shoulder?

A Mini-Con's gun is behind Rodimus's shoulder, giving the illusion of being connected to it.

Well, apparently, I'm a crappy photographer through glass. Here are the best pictures I have, cleaned up as best as I can At least I got down on my back and took photos of the bases for y'all, dignity be d**ned!  Arcee, Megatron, and Optimus Prime Arcee: Unknown points, small missile, unknown speed, unknown Attacktix or Transformers class (presumably Autobot), Unknown special power (nothing printed on her bottom) Megatron: Unknown points (presumably 40), Force blast, Unknown speed (presumably 4), unknown Attacktix or Transformers class (presumably Leader - Decepticons), Transform special power (into Super Optimus Prime Vehicle?!?) Optimus Prime: Unknown points (presumably 40), Force blast, Unknown speed (presumably 4), unknown Attacktix or Transformers class (presumably Leader - Autobots), Transform special power (into Super Optimus Prime Vehicle?!?)  Strongarm: 20 points, striker AXE, 10 speed, Warrior Autobot, Recover (Leader) special power? (figure bottom states: Strongarm / Stand up Strongarm if you have a (L) Leader in play)  Galvatron: 30 points, missile launcher?, 4 speed, Leader Decepticons, Rally or Recruit special power? (figure bottom states: Recruit / Return one of your defeated (D) Decepticons to play.) I didn't get a chance to handle any of these, so I don't know the special power ratios. Then again, given the confusion of the special power text, I'm not sure I'd trust 'em, anyway. It looks like Super Optimus Prime's base was reused for G1 Prime and Megatron, and Galvatron's base is - well, totally confusing. I hope it's a high-probability Rally, as those are usually good for shooters. I'm also hoping that it's an energy blast launcher; I can't imagine why it wouldn't be, but they didn't have a projectile in the launcher anywhere, and the Attacktix rep had already gone home. |

Most of the pics I took turned out pretty bad because of the glass. I wish I had known if/when they were having the cases open for the press. They did that at a Joe con so that the glass wouldn't be trouble. Anyway, here is a good pic of Strongarm's base. The word "Leader" IS in there. It is just printed in gold, so it is hard to see in the pic.  |

Recover: Leader is something I've never seen anywhere before. Could this actually BE strongarm's power? If it is, this increases the effectiveness of both SW and TF leaders because he can then be splashed into any team. If his percentage is high enough, think of S4 Darth Vader x2 + Strongarm. Three strikers who constantly recover from each other. Scary.
I also love G1 Megatron's red force blast. We've seen other things change (Palpatine's blue blast, Grievous grey missile) but here's hoping that sticks.
To everyone who took them, good job with the pictures!

I want that freaking Strongarm. Well, um, I want about 4-7 of them more like it. A 30pt disc firing Galvatron would be sweet as well, especially with the case. As for the Optimus Prime and Megatron, if they are 40pt force blasters when they get released, I'll be very angry.

I love the pictures of the G1 Megatron and OP!
I am excited to see more strikers. They hopefully will be coming out with more than just five.

Thanks for the pics! I really appreciate you guys bringing back the 'scoop' for those of us not fortunate enough to go (though it sounds like to me, that I'm the only one that wasn't there!).
Hopefully someday I'll be able to ascend to the heaven known as Botcon... (when I have more $cash$!)
...anyway
I want them all! I can't wait for TF S2.
I didn't see anyone post an answer to this yet, so, was there any talk about an approx. release date for TF S2/SW S5?
