RotF Bonanza! - Lots of updated toy pics & 1 or 2 new ones

Link

Not sure why Knock Out is in there, but there are updated/clear images of Bludgeon, Rambohide, Dirge, a black Movie1 Landmine repaint (Armorhide), a Mudflap repaint, the 4 new Scouts ('Wideload' and 'Sonar' for the Rollbar and Depth Charge repaints, Nightbeat is a G2-esque garish interesting aquamarine colour), one more Cannon 'bee repaint (with battle mask), Legends Soundwave, and more awesomely another black Soundwave repaint!

I don't have a Soundblaster so if Blackwave sees a mass release I'll buy him, though he's in a 2-pack so it'll be waiting for sales/clearance. Might pass on Wideload, though I have been thinking about repurposing Roll Bar to Wideload anyway seeing as RotF Roll Bar doesn't really fit his namesake. Armorhide looks pretty sweet, the colours should work given his mentor-protege relationship with Ironhide. Knightboat Sonar is looking awesome, Dirge seems pretty sweet, Bludgeon and Rambohide are still must-buys.

Man, Dirge looks unbelieeeeevable! :eek: On the opposite end of the spectrum that Wideload scout is dreadful...Looks like it has been sitting in the sun for a couple of years with some lovely yellowing going on. Bleh!

Bludgeon, Brakedown, Dirge an Ironhide look promising, Knight Boat and Armour Hide are kinda nice in a wave mostly dominated by bad repaints. The black theme is suitably movie like. However as these are all fancy Hasbro images I'll wait until I see the real thing before buying any.

I didn't get the Landmine from the first film, and I've been annoyed about it since people talk about how awesome the mold is. So, yay, repaint!

Also, yay, continuity headache! 'Cause there was a Scout from the first film line named Armourhide, and now there's another Armourhide.

I love the look of Dirge! :eek:
Is it a redeco of an existing mold or a brand spanking new one?

wow - I do like how dirge looks like, and am looking forward to bludgeon too! :)

Dirge is a new mold, hope they do him in Thrust colours someday 'cos unlike Breakaway that mold just screams for Thrustification.

I wouldn't worry continuity-wise, we already had 2 Mudflaps and it's possible this Armorhide is an upgraded form using a pretty sweet mold, what with the similar colour schemes.
Hope they do the old Armorhide mold as a mass release Huffer deco somewhere down the line, Botcon exclusives are a little pricey for my liking.

no surprise, about that "D.class Bumblebee"having a battle mask.:D

Knew they would do that eventually. :rolleyes:

Bludgeon and the Legends are the only ones that interest me.

Just part of a long line of such continuity headaches in the movie universe, such as:
+ Two Decepticons named Devastator
+ One Decepticon and one Autobot both named Jolt! The Decepticon Jolt is sometimes known as Dead End.
+ Another different Decepticon named Dead End
...why, it's almost as if Paramount and Hasbro aren't paying attention!! (naaawwwww!) :p

Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon Bludgeon

That's all I want.

Well I lie. I want the Legends and black Soundwave. Is that repaint of Mudflap is perhaps going to have a premium finish? Or is it just the photoshop magic of official piccies?

Yep put me down as another who is a fan of Dirge and Bludgeon.

Bludgeon is a must for me, he just looks too damn good to pass up, Dirge, Soundblaster Black Soundwave are both maybes, i'm gonna need a closer look st them.

Dead End has 2 bodys just in RotF alone. Both with the same bio, actually... He's also Titanium Jazz in black and red

Most awesome theory I've heard for Deady is that he's actually a body stealing vampire. And well, we all know Movie 1 Devy is actually Brawl and that was a mess up on Bay's end :p

But I honestly just think this Armorhide is a deliberate name reuse, as an update to the old one. He has the same base colour (IE: black)

+1. BLudgeon I will get definitely, but he ends up in the Classics/ Uni 2.0 Shelf as well as Legends Brakedown. They should make all five legends of Stunticons, someone will figure out how to combine them ... into MINIsor!:D

sigh more money wasted...:o

anyone know when the movie line will end?

hehe :)

I am quite partial to this one - Dead End in movie verse must be the cybertronian equiverlent of John... or James. If your not a Dead End you're just unfashionable.

As for new figs, Sexy Dirge is sexy. That is all. :D

Wideload in packaging, and another redeco, a black FAB Sideswipe.

Another pic of FAB Sideswipe redeco, and a FAB Optimus redeco.
Send in the (redeco) clones...

It seems like every Autobot has something going on with a Decepticon now. Bludgeon's being hunted by Ironhide, Armourhide's after Dirge, and now Wideload wants to sink Sonar.

Where is the love?

You mean Scout class Stunticons right? :)

I'm not sure which shelf I'd place Dead End, Brakedown and Drige on, their colours say Classics, but the style of the sculpts say movie. Maybe I need a shelf for a Transformers mergeverse.

Except Movie Armorhide and ROTF Armorhide are most likely meant to be the same character, hence their similar bios (violent jerks) and colour schemes.
