Baby Bruticus? Discuss!

WFC Optimus - looked bigger than deluxe, more like Voyager size
WFC Bumblebee - awesome vehicle mode, and even more awesome, metallic gold paint/plastic
Universe Seaspray - ultra sized I think, since it was bigger than ROTF Bludgeon that it was next to. Looks just like a huge version of the original Same blue and white and yellow for the turbines. Very nice.
Some new G1 style legends - I think I saw a jeep, Outback maybe? or Swindle?, It was khaki coloured but the view from the booth window was too far to see the smaller toys
Some kind of combiner - could have been power combiners, but looked to me more like it was built from Legends sized figures - and it was definitely not Devastator. One of the legs looked like a jet or shuttle of some kind. Could be a Legends Bruticus set? Was very lanky and with wiry limbs, but humanoid in shape.

Give us yer thoughts!

• Animated will get 'phased' back into the UK in late 2010. Probably.
• New RPM molds including Drift
• RPM Bumblebee track set
• RPM Stealth Force - deluxe/voyager size vehicles with fold out weaponry. Doesn't sound like they transform
• ROTF toy line name will be dropped, re-branded just as "Transformers"
  
• Power Core Combiners is a "Transformers" sub-line
  
• 2-packs and 5-packs can be combined together
• One of the 5-pack combiners is a new Bruticus!
• Seaspray is a boat with room for Scouts on his deck

The Universe of the Transformers is vast, and populated by many characters. Their universe is a large tapestry, made up of the stories and points of view of countless experiences that serve the larger whole. These are some of those stories. This is: Transformers Mosaic.
