![]() Fast Action Battlers made a strong showing, with new molds for every main character. Cyber Stompin’ Robots were replaced with less chunky-looking Power Bots and Mega Power Bots. All of the younger-audience sublines were included under the umbrella of “Fast Transformers Fun”. The ancillary size classes were revamped. Many main characters received new molds in the same size classes as their original releases, changing their aesthetic to match the rest of the series. The series distinguished itself by not reusing molds from non-movie series, keeping the aesthetic much more uniform, even though the Movie molds included tended to be distinctly bulkier looking. Other toys had more complex gear-driven mechanisms, but the interior parts could not be forced or jammed like the previous Automorph toys, making MechAlive toys less likely to break. This could often be very simple, basically exposing the connector of a joint and decorating it with mechanical parts. In its place, TakaraTomy engineered “MechAlive” into each new mold: moving the robot’s limbs would cause mechanical parts visible through the character’s endoskeleton to move. They also dropped the “Automorph” feature which often suffered from mechanical breakdowns. ROTF toys typically had fewer accessories than Movie, favoring built-in weapons and non-firing guns. However, the line did make some noteworthy changes to the overall form and function of the toys. ROTF toys continued to largely be comprised of licensed replicas of cars and other vehicles, and shared the same gritty mechanical stylings as their predecessors. Accompanied by a huge marketing blitz, the movie and toyline were huge sales successes. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (commonly abbreviated ROTF) debuted as a movie and a toyline in 2009, and was a sequel to “ Movie” in every way. ← Movie (2007) | Continuity: Live Action Movies | Dark of the Moon → ![]() Movie - Revenge of the Fallen (ROTF) (110). ![]()
