Transformers:
Revenge of the Fallen (2009) Toys
Given the success of the
first
Transformers movie and its toyline,
a sequel was inevitable-- and indeed one came two years later with "Revenge
of the Fallen". Now confident that the movie aesthetic was a sucess, Hasbro
put more new molds into the line as well as expanding into some new gimmicks/side
lines. One of these are the "Gravity Bots", deluxe-priced toys which transform
simply by laying them on their side or standing them up. Another new size
class were the "Human Alliance" figures, extremely well-detailed, $30 U.S.,
scaled versions of some of the most popular movie characters that each
came with a miniature human figure that could interact with them in multiple
ways. "Battle Chargers" are, more or less, repurposed "Cyber Slammers"
from the first movie line, deluxe-priced with simple automatic transformations
with the "robot mode" beind pretty much the upper part of the robot sticking
out of the car. Instead of transforming into small devices, "Real Gear"
scout-class toys were dropped in favor of more "normal" scout-class characters
that fit in with the mainline. Simple "Fast Action Battlers" made their
re-appearance in the RotF line, as well.
As the year changed to 2010,
Hasbro, as usual, added a subtitle and slight packaging change to the line
to keep interest going-- this time around it was "N.E.S.T. Global Alliance",
propped up with a web-only CGI mini-series and with bios that centered
more around character interactions and fights to help cross-sell toys.
As expected, the line was
an enormous success, so much so that after the Revenge of the Fallen toyline
ended in late Spring of 2010, many movie toys continued into a line simply
titled "Transformers" which took RotF's place.
(NOTE: Non-transformable
Transformers toys-- such as Robot Heroes, roleplay toys, Robot Replicas,
and non-Battle Charger RPMs-- are not reviewed on this site. Also, the
Target Exclusive Superion & Bruticus Maximus giftsets were released
under the Universe 2.0 line in some foreign
countries, but are reviewed here because they were released under the RotF
banner in the U.S.)
