MISB pics of ROTF Ramjet, Skywarp, Whirl and Bludgeon

I really like the packaging on Skywarp. I hope it's easy to open as I've never got that type of box before.

Even though its really nice, its too bad the box will live its whole life inside... another box.

That will be one more set of Seekers completed for me. Sweet!

Man, I can tell already that this line's going to freakin' bankrupt me.

Definately getting the 2-pack since I never got either of those the first time around. What is the "Master of Metallikato"???

Here's Wikipedia's definition of "Metallikato"

The G1 version of Bludgeon was a master of Metallikato, a Cybertronian Martial Art, according to his Tech Spec:

"To know your own limits, you must first know your foe's limits."

A merciless, emotionless master of Metallikato, the deadly Cybertronian martial art. Attacks his enemies' fracture points while remaining outside their line of fire. High-powered antennas produce electrical fireballs with a range of over 400 yards. Battle armor secretes ordorous, mucus slime. Smoke generators in legs produce billowing clouds of black smoke that disorient the enemy. Inner robot armed with high-voltage electric cannon.

Nice throwback, I'll give them that, but why throw Whirl in there? He's just strong

And yes, the Seekers will be mine!

Skywarp looks sweet! I'm certainly gonna pick him up, especially since I have G1 deco Screamer and Thundercracker.

Ramjet looks really cool, but I'll be needing to save some cash for good old Devestator. He's a maybe.

I enjoy the Wreckage repaint alot, but the Whirl is a little blah to me. I'm glad to see movie Evac get a little more use, but I don't know if its worth the thirty bucks to get both. Like I said, with the amount I'm already spending on movie two I need to trim some stuff.

Guess this sorta retcons Alliance #2, where Wreckage took that paint scheme. Oh well, small detail.

IIRC, The MP Starscream box was rather hard to get into. This one might be different though.

Whirl's a ninja? WTF?

Dang those are sharp looking. Can't wait to get my hands on those!

At lAST! I can complete some sort of seeker set!

Those are some really nice repaints. Think ill be getting them all. Knew i wouldnt be saving money during this line.

Skywarp and Ramjet look really cool. I didn't see either of them mentioned as appearing in the movie. Unless they are in the movie, I am not going to spend the money on them.

This movie is going to get enough of my money already.

What, no Thrust and Dirge?

Get em all out to us.

I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later. I won't mind picking up some G1 repaints since I'm only up to about 5 ROTF figs wantlisted.

Sucks that they are WM Exclusives, but considering how everyone hates the mold so much, I shouldn't have any trouble finding them.

i'm geting them all!

Whirl is a "Master of Metalliko"? Interesting.

Too bad that Blackout is one of the weakest toys to be released in the past few years, otherwise it'd be a good set to purchase.

Thanks

...I'm not supposed to like a repaint! *headdesk* My wallet's gonna kill me this year...

I'll get skywarp, snce I don't have a skywarp.

Nice evac and wreckage repaints, but neither mould is worthy of getting again.

Hey is it just me or did they take off the back of whirl?

They probably did to make him fit into a thinner package. It can pop right back on.

I actually display my Evac with the backpack disconnected. Makes it easier to fit into the display.

They are very nice repaints and I do like the Skywarp. Veeery nice. Alas, it being a Wal-Mart exclusive I will just have to let it go and spend my money else where. Le sigh.

Well, it looks like Hasbro done it again, more and more repaints, but i have to admit they are very cool, I have deep space SS and Thundercracker and both and very awesome and very detail in every way, i seem to like Ramjet better than Skywarp and lovin Whirl and Bludgeon, but i wish when Hasbro does these repaints i wish they change something, like another head mold, or weapons or something like that. Ramjet and Skywarp are walmart items only, but what about Whirl and Bludgeon?? and what are the release dates? maybe in May like the rest???

May get the seekers as well. I have the movie, G1 coloured and Thrust SS repaints already.

Def getting Skywarp and Ramjet. That means I'll pass on the Starscream. I simply cannot justify buying 3 of the same mould from the same line.

Ramjet has the same head as the new Starscream right?

The evac/wreckage pack would be a purchase if they had new heads...oh well I'll find other figures in this line to spend all of my money on...

Repaints so i will pass thank you and goodbye, i said goodbye.

well, there goes my hopes of wreckage being in the sequel. Not that i really thought it was a possibility.

The wreckage repaint is really cool, but im about sick of the Blackout mold. I wish they would have retooled it or made it leader class.

Digging the two-pack...But I'm just not interested in buying any TF1 repaints...So I'll have to pass...And there's no way in hell I'll ever buy another TF1 Starscream mold...I only bought him to begin with because Target had him on clearence for $5...And I pretty much hate him

I'm kicking myself for having breezed past the Whirl/Bludgeon pack so fast the first few times. Now that I've really read the other posts and paid attention to what is in the pack (namely Wreckage) I'm realizing that I am going to be so flat broke by the end of summer. I was rather miffed that a character/figure as cool as this got aced in the prequel instead of making it to the actual movie. Had it been him instead of Bonecrusher that Prime had taken on, the fight would have lasted a whole lot longer, been way cooler, and may not have ended quite the same. Seeing him redone as Bludgeon and considering the fact that so few fans know about Wreckages' original story, I'm voting for this new incarnation for TF3. However, the paintjob needs tweaking. This guy warrants the black/grey/white urban cammo scheme, heavy on the black/grey. If only this guy came w/out Whirl...

Noooooooooo! Bring ramjet and Skywarp to Mass retail, and I'm gettin' that two pack.

So no one else has noticed that Whirl is posing bodybuilder style?

Oh, we noticed. We were just in denial and hoping that nobody would bring it up lest it start a tease-fest second only to the one going on in the "Skids" thread.

The figures have been seen, but not their names or packaging, so good find! I FPnC'd it for you.

Yes this is old news. it was posted with the ROTF skywarp and ramjet news story a day ago.

And isn't Whirl just a repaint of the Evac release from 07 that had been remolded from Blackout? Cause that looks like the Whirl head, not Blackout's.
