Thanks to seibertron.com member Arlin for alerting us to new photos of what appears to be a toy of the unknown Decepticon Audi R8 from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
See all the images on The-Arker.com by clicking here or more images of his robot mode here.
I honestly don't care what this guy looks like (hopefully badarse though), but I'll have to get him because he's an R8 I love that car! I'm curious who this guy is though.
OK...I have a theory about all these blurry pictures.
They are taken by the same person, but his eyes are bad. As a result, when he focuses the camera it's clear for him but blurry for the rest of the universe.
On the figure, sweet alt mode. I like the face too (even my wife commented she thought the face looked "cool and very, very evil"...not that I listen to what she says that much ). Can we get a from-the-chest-down pic please?
(Why is it the first thing that came to mind after I wrote that sentence was Meghan Fox?)

Well, if you're talking about resemblance to a G1 mold, then yes. But we know that the movie-verse isn't all that worried about staying true to any previous continuity... it could be just about anyone, from Wildrider or another Stunticon, to Runabout/Runamuck, to a totally original character like Barricade... or perhaps it is someone like Barricade, or Scorponok, or even MEGATRON in a new body.
Barricade was only about 99% new. New character and such, but his name like Blackout was taken from a Micromaster no one would otherwise remember, for the sake of keeping the convention of all the in-the-movie guys having G1 names. If obscure ones.
If I had to guess the name of this new figure, it would be either Breakdown or Wildrider. Hasbro already named a figure after one of the Stunticons (Dead End), why not after another?
looks sexy I wonder why it's missing audi badges? I can understand the rear one missing for the faction symbol but why not have one on the front grill like the real one?
