Talk about crappy connections. We got online just now, so here are the images from the Transformers Panel at NYCC. Key shots include TF3 movie Wheeljack classic deco, Soundwave Soundblaster deco, White Ratchet deco, and TF Prime Deluxe Wheeljack and Soundwave figures. Also of interest are some shots of the upcoming Fall of Cybertron game.
Key notes from the Video Game part include:
Shockwave opens a space bridge to search the universe for powerful forces, etc, finds dinosaurs on Earth. Takes form and applies to bots on Cybertron. Tries to control new Dinobots, can’t.
Sees Earth as a good source of energy to repower Cybertron.
More Dinobots hinted at.
Build a Bot part of game is huge, testers are spending 2 hours plus just playing around creating characters.

Yes, it gets a detailed drawing in the art gallery in the back. Also, I thiiiink I remember him using in in Tales of the Fallen, but I'm not sure cause I don't own it.
seekerblackout
You mean the thing that he cut Camshaft in half with?
Anguirus
^ Ah, I see now. Never owned that toy. TC at least has a different alt mode (resembling Megatron's).
Still, they do have different heads, and yes, TC has an axe that he uses pretty prominently. I guess TC's head really is just Proto-Starscream's…meh, maybe I'll get him on sale.
seekerblackout
Thundercracker had an axe? And BTW, TC and RJ were repaints of Starscream in his Cybertronian form, explaining the difference
Anguirus
^ Ramjet and Thundercracker are both quite different-looking designs in the movie comics. That's why their toys (all to date) are so darn disappointing.
I would have bought DotM TC in a second if he'd had an accurate head, or even just a different one. Oh, and his trademark axe.
General Tekno
Yeah; they gave him more of a conehead.
Though that was all Alex Milne, I think.
seekerblackout
Yeah, though we know hasbro. Plus, does Ramjet have a different head from the others in the comics?
Starfire22
^^but a different head though.

Shadow mentioned that the mold will continue being used after Skywarp is released. I would LOVE a Ramjet.
StanScream
They need to make a deluxe sized Ramjet with the Starscream thundercracker mold. I WANT MY SEEKERS.
StanScream
They should have released the weaponized before the plain one, now I'm stuck with the non-movie accurate one.

All I really care about are these minus G1-colored Wheeljack and plus weaponized Roadbuster.

They may be hope for bigger OP trailers, Hasbro teases us with the deluxe now. Granted I've got Ult OP but I want a trailer to store my mechtech weapons and other accessories in.
StanScream
Definitely one of the best ideas they've had for DOTM toy line.
Stepper
Yup,G1 Wheeljack we can't miss it man

Definetly down with the Wheeljack repaint of Que. The rest of the wave look like a pass.

I just noticed that the Bumblebee from the slideshow is a new mold, at the very least from the waist up. It already confused me with Cliff, but why make brand new molds for these characters in such a short amount of time? I wish I had noticed this while at the panel so I could have asked about it.
seekerblackout
Oh
StanScream
Haha, Crankcase.
seekerblackout
Black what?
