Transformers 2 may have up to 10 robots on each side

[DEFENSOR]

I hope they atleast streamline their appearances this time. Too many insect type faces and their robot modes looked to complex with car parts just randomly stuck to limbs. Hopefully they will simplify them abit.

Of course I like the idea of new characters. I would prefer that the new movie line produce JUST those new characters. If the original characters from the first movie keep their original ALT/Bot modes, then there is no reason to remake the figures. I for one wouldn't have any interest in buying a whole new set of figures of the same characters in the same alt/bot modes as the ones I've already got. NOW if they have some cool add-ons, like a trailer for Prime, I may consider it.

 

Of course if there are 10 bots per faction...that means 6 new Autobots and, assuming Barricade is still functional and Megs comes back, 7 new Cons. I would say that would give Hasbro PLENTY of new characters to produce figures for without redoing the original characters or repaints (HOPEFULLY). I mean how many different figures are out in the current movie line? Not counting stealth BB or the premiums, or the real gear figures.

 

I bet though that they will shoehorn the Cliffjumper figure in as a new official character as well as some of the other figures they produced that were not in TF1. If they do that, I do hope they reproduce some of those figures because, with the exception of Wreckage and Stealth BB, I havn't bought any figures/paintjobs that were NOT in the movie. I'll miss out on the first run of those figures.

Woo Hoo!! I think that having more bots for the new movie will be fanatically fantastic! I do hope that the first movie bots get to keep their appearance for the second movie but with additional bots, I wonder what else we are going to be looking towards? ^_^

Yeah, I remember when the Spider-Man 2 line came out and the only character in it was Doctor Octopus and everyone thought that was cool. And let's not forget the Joker/Two-Face only The Dark Knight toy line.

 

Come on, guys, of course the 'Formers from part 1 will get new toys. Welcome to the wild world of merchandising. Just remember you're not required to buy them if you don't want to. And if you want to, don't blame Hasbro for creating product that you desire, whatever your reasons for wanting it. It's kinda their job.

Roberto Orci stating (in a way) that Transformers 2 may have up to 10 robots on each side, potentially doubling the cast of the first film (which stood at 13)

 

I'd love and think we could almost barely manage ten on each side, with some front and center and others as more supporting.

 

Just wanted to point out, this quote just says that Orci thinks ten robots on a side is managable, not that it's a done deal...

 

 

 

I also have to agree with Hobbes, you'd have to be crazy to think that they won't have new toys for the returning characters in the next movie line. Optimus and Bumblebee were the biggest sellers from the first line, no way Hasbro's not going to milk them for all they're worth in the next line.

Not releasing toys of returning characters would be like not releasing a new spider-man toy every time a new spider-man movie came out. It just wouldn't make any sense.
