1) Rollbar x 3
2) Deadend x 3
3) Knockout x 3
4) Dirtboss x 3
looking at the list you will notice the absence of any Fallen or
Jetfire figures, take it with a pinch of salt but the rep with whom I
did the order with today is under the impression that the supreme
combiner master carton may contain a leader Class Optimus and Jetfire
Combiner set, nothing to base this on as of yet but an interesting
rumour.
With regard to the lack of name for the 2nd toy in the leader class
master carton I would speculate its as simple as they want to keep megs
a secret or we're getting a leader class fallen fig.
Have a good one!

Hasbro released the following press release prior to the opening of the US Toyfair.
This summer, the colossal battle between the AUTOBOTS and the DECEPTICONS continues when “ROBOTS IN DISGUISE” once again invade movie theaters around the world. The new DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures live-action movie TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN
debuts June 26, 2009 and picks up the saga from the 2007 worldwide
blockbuster film that finds two warring factions of robots colliding in
a major battle on planet Earth.
For 25 years, Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS) has provided kids with hours of MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
action with their figures that convert from robot to vehicles and back
again. Legions of boys around the world grew up creating fantastic
adventures and battles set on both the planet CYBERTRON and Earth that featured the heroic AUTOBOTS, like OPTIMUS PRIME and BUMBLEBEE, clashing with the evil DECEPTICONS, led by MEGATRON. The toys’ popularity reached new levels with the release of the first live-action TRANSFORMERS movie, cementing the toys and the brand in the upper stratosphere of pop culture.
In 2009, Hasbro continues the legacy with its new line of movie-based TRANSFORMERS
toys that capture the action and excitement of the new film. Fans will
love the new action figures showcasing popular characters like OPTIMUS PRIME and BUMBLEBEE in multiple scales — with many featuring lights and authentic sounds and phrases from the movie. Kids can pretend to be a TRANSFORMERS robot by wearing the new BUMBLEBEE MOVIE VOICE MIXER HELMET that lets a child mix their own voice with music and includes “tune-in radio phrases,” just like BUMBLEBEE. To complete the fantasy, kids can pretend to battle the DECEPTICONS with the new TRANSFORMERS MOVIE BUMBLEBEE PLASMA CANNON. This awesome arm blaster converts from BUMBLEBEE’S
robot arm to his plasma cannon and features lights and signature
TRANSFORMERS sound effects. And, long-time fans will be thrilled with
one the most powerful DECEPTICONS, the new TRANSFORMERS MOVIECONSTRUCTICON DEVASTATOR figure, a monstrous robot that combines six vehicles into one giant robot.
Additionally, coming in the fall, young fans will enjoy TRANSFORMERS R.P.M.’S MINI-VEHICLES, a new line of miniature, non-converting TRANSFORMERS-themed vehicles that can be raced across the floor or on specially designed playsets and tracks.

The latest issue of Toyfare magazine, issue 140, is out in the US and contains an interviews with Lorenzo di Bonaventura and with Aaron
Archer and Greg Lombardo.
According to TFW2005.com the issue contains the following information:
Important details of the coverage:
- Images of ROTF toys for Leader class Optimus Prime, Preview
Bumblebee, Preview Soundwave, and the Voyager Class Starscream figure.
- Lorenzo believes the timeframe of ROTF is about one year after Movie #1.
- When asked about the challenge of creating Devastator on screen,
Lorenzo mentions that Bay had the challenge in the first movie of
having 30 foot robots. In the second movie, Bay has the challenge of
having a robot almost four times that. Expect Devastator to be 100 to 120 feet tall in the movie.
- Archer said he couldn't give away the plot point, but there's a
reason that Soundwave is designed the way he is for the movie. Hasbro
had a more basic toy need. So, the two were blended together.
- Toy launch date confirmed as May 30th. A few weeks before, Bumblebee and Soundwave will be released.
- Characters mentioned in the initial wave are "Sideswipe, Sideways,
Bulldozer, Voyager and many others". Promise of more off-screen
characters.
- Robot Heroes will have better articulation
- Bumblebee helmet has voice mixer
- Bumblebee converting pulse cannon
- Big ticket deluxe item for the year is still "top-secret"
- Gravity Bots are geared towards younger kids. Convert automatically when you pick them up.
- A Megan Fox Human Alliance figure is on Archer's "wish list".
The Fallen's origin confirmed:
He
is one of the original 13 Transformers. Lorenzo said to think of the 13
as "apostles". The Falen is the one who turns and is the reason
Transformers split into Autobots and Decepticons.

Michael Bay has recorded a video interview with
Collider.com in which he discusses the length of the
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, currently 2 hours and 20 minutes, filming in Egypt and the IMAX scenes. According to the director the film will be much darker with a greater focus on the Transformers (
they can afford more CGI now - ed) and a more epic scale. When asked if he would return for the third
movie, Michael Bay replied saying that "he would be interested" but his immediate plans
are to take a well-earned year off (which would fit in nicely between films).
