I;ve been thinking about what might be in the retailation line and what I might be tempted to purchase.
Roadblock (Rock) and Colton (Willis) are probably a lock unless they are terrible or something. Those would be more novelty. Lady Jaye and Jinx will probably be must haves, I like the looks from the previews for both. Flint, just doesn't look like flint to me, maybe the figure will be better but at this point I am doubting I will get him. Duke-who cares. WHile I am a Firefly nut, unless he has a masked face easy pass. Cobra Commander will probably be a must have, that is a cool look. Assuming Zartan is in the movie (as Zartan, he is credited on IMDB) I might depending on the look of the character. SE and SS, Here I get a bad feeling we might see a large amount of recycling (SS especially as his look isn't too altered). The figs might have some alterations to better match the ne,w movie, but I doubt that will prompt me to grab them. I admit I base this assumption mostly on what has been seen in the Transformers toylines (ie Bumblebee and prime simply repainted with minor alterations) In the same vien as TF, one of my big conserns is over recycling in retaliation from ROC. As stated TF's have done this (Barracade, the twins) even when they are not in the current film. Baroness, Ripcord, Scarlett could be carried forward to clog the pegs once more. Although one plus would be another shot at Karmakura. I know it's impossible to say for certain, but with ROC STILL hanging around in some places, it seems a bad idea to over recycle for the new line. |

My only hope for the new movie toys, is this:
For the weapons, please stop using "bullpup" style rifles, because only the female figures have arms skinny enough to hold them properly. Other than that, they can sprinkle RoC through the new line and it won't bother me at all...

Hoping they have better weapons than the Renegades figures - who can't hold them for a damn. Like the Cobra trooper.

I'm hoping the Retaliation line will be like the 90's Batman toys and instead of looking like they do in the movie, will be neon orange, green and pink with chrome gold.

How do you gather that flint doesn't have a different uniform from a Lil 2 min clip ???
That is the desert battle scene that's at the begining of the film. |

I don't recall saying one way or another, I just say based on what we have seen he just doesn't look like Flint to me. Nothing more. Assuming anything else is just assuming at this point.

I'm hoping the non-movie figures will be ARAH updates like ROC had.
