Bios and in-box images for RotF Dirge, Tuner Mudflap and Armorhide (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/revenge-of-the-fallen-dirge-tuner-mudflap--armorhide-new-images--bios-168549/) courtesy of TFW2005.

Looks like Armorhide is an upgraded Movie1 character after all.

That Dirge has to be 1 of the ugliest looking seekers I have ever seen ... Wheres the bulk of him.. He's too thin n bony . (i guess i just picture the wings being a bit longer):eek:
The art on the back looks much better than the toy

And I dunno about Armourhide either ... Apart from the fact that his name means basically HARD-ASS I think he's quite meh looking but a rugged vehicle no doubt

Tuner Mudflap is a cool idea but I think he may end up a shelf warmer but I could be wrong :)

I'll definitely grab Dirge (as I always do!), but I just don't see anything interesting in the two repaints.

If they're going to do a Mudflap repaint, I'd at least hope there's a Skids repaint in the same assortment - so any kids who missed the boat can get both this time around.

Dirge and Armorhide and must gets (well, Dirge if I have to be really picky)
Tuning Mudflap ... not much of a repaint.

Except for those dorky missile launchers Dirge looks awesome!

Armourhide is not bad a repaint either, However Mudflap is more like a Malibu Stacy with hat repaint, without the hat.

I really like Dirge. Armourhide, too, since I didn't get Landmine. Tuner Mudflap looks bleh.

Also, the bios make me want to cheer for the Decepticons instead. Armourhide sounds like he's simply taking the chance to indulge his sadistic side without having to hear complaints from his team mate because he can't talk.

God-damn, I sound like Raksha now.

Was going to post up the source link (http://www.kotoys.com/forum/index.php?topic=345.0), but the images have been removed (or used up their daily bandwidth), so this is the seibertron link (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/update-new-toy-images-of-rotf-dirge-robot-alternate-mode/17040/)for only 4 of the images, for anyone unable to see the tfw2005 images.

Hmm, I'm actually digging Dirge now... When I first saw the BotCon pic I wasn't too impressed, but seeing the non-Hasbro'd pics of him, I'm getting him for sure =o) Armorhide was a must from me as soon as I heard the words "Landmine repaint", because Landmine was the biggest debate for me from the first movie line. I saw him in shops so often and pondered "yes, no, yes, no, yes.. nah...", eventually deciding not to, but wishing I did. So that's a yes from me!

Then comes Tuner Mudflap........ Idea: Promising... Execution: Meh... They could have at least pimped the rims with a splash of the gold used on the "vinyl".

:(I'll get Dirge but I really haven't been excited by any of the movie figures:(
