There are way too many new molds here for Hasbro not to release these somehow. The cost of cutting the molds needs to be recouped somehow. Whether they'll be exclusives or what I don't know, but I can't imagine these not seeing the light of day in some form. Plus these are production level, with paint and everything. Test shots would be a different matter, but given what I know of the toy industry I think these will make it out.

I agree unless something totally drastic happens. If I had to guess I'd say they will follow the Transformers blue print and produce figures and vehicles that weren't in the movie as a continuation of the movie line. Some of these may even show up in the video game. So Hasbro never misled anyone about the end of the 25th Anniversary line, they just didn't mention that it will all be re-branded as The Rise of Cobra (TROC from here on out).

Actually I thought that was what they were saying all along. Therefore I never understood all the outcry of the 25th Ann. going on "hiatus".

Same here. That is exactly what they said, over and over. They even specifically pointed out using Transformers as the model, releasing other-than-movie stuff, but all as part of the overall movie line.
