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?

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.

Knew they would do that eventually.

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

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

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!)
