    Default 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! 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!
    Is it a redeco of an existing mold or a brand spanking new one?

    + Another different Decepticon named Dead End
    ...why, it's almost as if Paramount and Hasbro aren't paying attention!! (naaawwwww!)
    Except Movie Armorhide and ROTF Armorhide are most likely meant to be the same character, hence their similar bios (violent jerks) and colour schemes.

    +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!

    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.
