http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/generations-arcee-and-warpath-listed-171232/
ok so at that link,we have some listings in a walmart computer. now the bulk of them arent new. There is a listing for a starscream, and i am in the camp that thats probably WFC starscrem, as we were told he was on their shortlist (therfore giving us repaint/customizing potential to the other seekers). theres two listings that are new and exciting:
TRA GENERATN WARPAT 65356959009
TRA GENERATION ARCE 65356956651
a new warpath toy, thats not a legends? YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wonder if he'll be based on his WFC self. we'll see i'm very interested. i love the warpath character.
Arcee? hmm. soud this be the pink and white g1-esque arcee car we've all wanted since seeing that animation model? i'm intrigued. though she is the last listing, so she's the line-ender. but if she;sa classics/generations update to that G1 animation model, i am very much interested.
What about you guys? comment below

Possible DOTM toyline sheet
http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/possible-dark-of-the-moon-initial-toy-release-sheet-171250/
ok, so at the link about we have eseentailly confirmed on paper, the intial toys we'll be getting for DOTM. For either side, they are:
Leader Sentinel Prime
Leader Bumblebee
Voyager Optimus Prime with Trailer
Voyager Ironhide
Deluxe Autobot Ratchet
Deluxe Autobot Skids
Deluxe Sideswipe
Deluxe Roadbuster
Deluxe Sponsor Car 2 (Wrecker)
Deluxe Arcee
Deluxe Air Ride
Deluxe Jolt
Before i get to the decepticons, let sum up my thoughts on the good guys. I'm intrigued by leader sentinel prime. if thats the dude we saw in the trailer, i wanna see what characterization he gets.
Leader bumblbee is a pass, cause its a waste of a leader spot and its movie bumblebee.
Voyager Prime wiht trailer is bought as long at the price isnt too high and Prime doesnt suck as a toy
Ironhide: i like the look from the photos we've seen, but i need to see reviews first
Ratchet: Maybe
Skids: pass
Sideswipe: interested, probable buy
Roadbuster: I'm assuming this guy is the fire truck thing we saw on set that look all futuristicy and such. I approve, though the diehards will not because its nto really roadbuster's colors (consult the tfwiki). I'm very interested now
Sponsor Car 2 (Wrecker): toy picture popped up yesterday and i'm interested. this could be a good mold for troopbuilding
Deluxe Arcee: pass. i thought she died in the last move and unless the toy is more like her 2007 movie toy, i'm not interested
Deluxe Air Ride: Is this the ferrari-bot? kind of a lame name, but i'm still intrigued.
Deluxe Jolt: If he has a substantial part and his toy doesnt have a chunk of plastic blocking all headposability, i'll be interested.
ok, so for the 'cons i'm just gonna comment alongside each name.
Decepticons:
Voyager Megatron: interested. digging the look of him. looks kind of bland, but i'm intrigued to see the characterization. probably wont display him with the hood over his face
Deluxe Starscream: Meh. not expecting much, i am not really a fan of the movieverse starsscream toys
Deluxe Barricade: Ummmmm. ok... i though he died in the first movie and wasnt around in the second one at all. whatever. i am interested though...
Deluxe Crankcase: Interesting.... would this dude be one of the black SUV's?
Voyager DA-13 Military Helicopter: so, Blackout? or somethign similar? ok
Voyager New Villian: Shockwave. Dang i was hoping for a leader, but as long as the toy doesnt suck i'll get this.
What doyou guys think? comment below

brief thoughts on the Mastermind creations KM03 cyclops and KM04 assassin squad

Verdict: Need to see more than just the leg of the "cyclops" but i'm intrigued.
KM04 Assassin squad. as long as its out this year, i am all over this. totally digging all of this set. come one a steampunk insecticons train combiner? yes please!

first post of the new year and awesome news from fansproject
Hey all. hopope you had a great, safe and fun new years. We're only 5 days into 2011 and already Fansproject is teasing us with their stuff form 2011.
Link: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/3rd-party-unlicensed-41/fansproject-website-update-2011-causality--insecticons-171220/
So looks like they'll being continuing the Warbot (their version of a classics triple changer springer) ficiton with Warbot002 at some point this year. As soon as Warbot 002 is confirmed wiht product shots, i will be all over that, finances allowing.
Also looks like theyre continuing the crossfire series with set #03. with Crossfire 03, i would not be surprised if Fansproject did something with Energon Constructicon maximus. that would give us all a proper classics devastator instead of the crap one we got (crap from what i've seen). Sure TFClub is doing their own constructicon set, but given that we dont know how the individual figures will be mareketed (we know theyre in between deluxe and voyager, but we dont know pricing or release dates) i could see fansproject doing a constructicon maximus set as a slightly cheaper alternative. I would look into getting a construcion maximus,but there are no confirmed reports of what Crossfire 03 is so i will wait.
With regard to Causality, which seems to be extended fiction for Crossfire 02, we get two new repaints/ slight remolds of Munitioner and Explorer. Now, The Jury is out for me on these new ones, WArcry and Flameblast respectively. Warcry looks good enough in bot modes and the new head is awesome, but something about the burnt-sienna orange and the white mini-shield and re-done gun rubs me the wrong way. The white seems too vibrant to work well with the burnt-Sienna. I really like Flameblast though, if he's around $40 or so, i may have to get him. Explore did "retail" for around $50- $60, as did munitioner, but that was largely due to the crossfire 02 bruticus accessories they came with.
LAstly, Causality appear to also be including three new insecticon scout class figures named Stormshred, Thunderbomb and Backfire. I'm really digging the names. looks like theyre coming out one a month from may-july. Maybe this means the first two will be available at botcon, or at least Stormshread should be. I'm all over these insecticons. They are not the rumored Insecticon Insectrain combiner we've been seeing because thats being done by mastermind crreations (of Knight morpher fame. I have made notes on my calendar to look into them each month.
Lastly, Fansproject rumors at something Called "HEartMaster", or as listed at the above link, "(Audacity) Amelioration of Novel form, HeartMaster — HM-001" I have no clue what this could be.
So, thoughts? Comment below or respond on twitter.
