As we reported yesterday, TF08.net had posted an image of what might be a new toy for the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toy line.

These new images show us a mistransformed robot-mode and a clearer look at the truck-mode. It looks to be scout and an possibly an Autobot.

Happy guessing on who or what it might be.

Looks like an unpainted Movie Payload to me.

I don't think it's Payload.

This new figure has 6 wheels, Payload had 4. Also the cab area is completely different.

Maybe it's the IceCream truck?

I don't think it's Payload either. I don't think it's the ice cream truck - it doesn't look like the on screen photos - it was shorter in those.

I can't tell if that is the "counter" of an ice cream truck window, or a large hinge on the side, but either way we will have to wait and see more when it comes.

Even though they don't do it often, Hasbro is capable of retooling a mold.

So adding a third set of wheels to payload hardly seems impossible.

We'll have to see more pics for a final answer.

We've seen pics of the Ice Cream Truck from the movie set; it doesn't look anything like that. It might not be Payload, but it's not the IC Truck either.

Whatever it is, it looks like a pretty boring alt mode. Then again, based on Soundwave and Dead End(?), I'm not expecting much out of the ROTF line.

TF08.net has posted a new image of what might be the alt-mode of a Transformers Revenge of the Fallen figure. The picture if of a truck of unknown make and is very blurry so don't expect to see a grate amount of detail on it.

Too see the image please click here.

We at seibertron.com will keep you updated on this once new information becomes available.

I really hope they lay off the gimicks in the new line. Launching missiles is cool, and automorph wasnt awful, but sometimes it kill the figure, like payloads grab claw.

I was just gonna say this. The gray and blue color scheme seems to correspond to the first, satellite version of him (though apparently darker), and while we've been TOLD he'd be a pickup truck, that could have merely been disinformation and misdiretion. This mode, while admittedly blurry, would work well, IMHO... especially if the back of this van-esque vehicle could contain his various "minions."

I’m pretty sure that’s not movie Payload. If it is, they've done extensive retooling on it.

I wouldn’t mind an Payload repaint though, he was one of my favorites from the movie line.

no way soundwave really is truck after all ( sorry couldnt resist ).

its simaler to payload but not an exact replica of him looks like funny looking garbage truck never seen garbage truck with front end like that kinda looks like decepticon logo is on the hood.

I think it looks like an armored truck, but I have never seen one with three axles (six wheels). Hmmm.

I agree with the Soundwave crowd. That was what first jumped into my mind. The coloring was what first made me think Soundwave, and then the fact that we have already seen a non-earth mode Soundwave supported my conclusion. Plus this truck, unlike a Chevy pickup, is of a similar scale to a satellite.

Does anyone else see a Red Bull logo on the side :-? :grin:

I AGREE IT LOOKS LIKE PAYLOAD. BUT I GOT A BETTER QUESTION: WHY EVERYTIME AN UNOFFICIAL IMAGE COMES OUT IS IT SO BLURRY ??? EVEN THE CHEAPEST CAMERA PHONES TAKE CLEAR CRISPY PICTURES THESE DAYS. UNLESS OF COURSE THIS IS PART OF A BIGGER PICTURE THAT WAS ENLARGED LIKE 20 TIMES LIKE SECURITY CAMERAS DO. WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE MORE...

Looks like a repainted Payload, with a Redbull logo slapped on.

Its not the payload that we've seen but maybe they decided to use him in the movie and made some changes. From the look I say Decepticon.

EXACTLY! I mean, look at it. It's some sort of truck with a big tralier-like thing on its back and over its top. Not the mention the orange & yellow designs on its side that looks like fire!

I'm thinking this is some wannabe Rodimus Prime design.

Rodimus springs to mind when looking at this pic as well. Specially with the fire on the side. However there is some sort of mark on the bonnet, could be anything but it kinda looks like a con symbol to me.

Anyway it looks kinda bland... I assume/hope it will get more paint apps before it is finished.

That's clearly Soundwave for my trained and very expert eyes.

On the other hand, my n00b eyes say it's Rodimus Prime Daltonics Edition.

That's actually a TF Scout Class once again. And saying it's Soundwave is clueless, Soundwave's alt is completely different from that. Even if it's his earth mode, the truck is too small.

These are the new pics that have shown up from TF08.net which proves what I've said.

(And what's with everyone's bad guesses as to what it is? Sure the naming is okay but actually guessing it's a remolded Movie Payload etc? That's ridiculous. Other than repaints, Hasbro isn't likely to recycle stuff and whip it out.

The only thing returning to the movie line will probably be the Movie screen bots and cons. Other than that, everything else will be original.)

It seems to be an autobot. I like the fact that there is a Scout class in this movie line.

Well, the first Movie line DID have a Scout class, technically: the Real Tech line or whatever they were called, plus the Scout repaints that Target sold exclusively under the Movie line.

But hopefully THESE Scouts are based on characters from the movie. If not, at least they're new molds instead of repaints, and vehicles instead of fake watches and MP3 players.

O.K. I'll retract my previous statement its clearly not Payload.

I think I'll call him Bob.

Seriously though looks like for this movie they are toning down the movie look.

Looks interesting, might not be affiliated with the movie at all.

After seeing the new pics i dont think its a movie figure. It looks to much like a normal TF to be part of the movie line. But then again the first movie had figures that looked normal because they werent in the movie or game so this could be the same thing. Im surprised that its an Autobot. The figure screams Decepticon to me.

I'm guessing this toy is from a promption or the fast action battler line.

The level of detail is not there and the transformation is somewhat simple.

Just my $0.02

First that paneled Soundwave thingie and now this? lol

Yikes.

Other than being supremely bland, it has something I hated on the helicopter a few years back... where the shoulders meet the body.

On the helicopter, his arms were just like HANGING off the wings.
In this thing, the arms are just hanging off the panels coming off it's back.

Insanity. Pure insanity.

Gotta be a non-movie scout class...look at the quarter next to the figure. I'm HOPING it's just a FAB...that looks way to simple for anything else.

It's a scout class.. Scout classes don't have details and it's not even transformed. Definitely far from a knockoff.

soundwave = generic

subject of this thread = happy meal
