What repaints do you expect to see in the "Global Alliance" sub-line of ROTF?

I suspect we'll see:

Deluxe:

Tuner Skids to match Tuner Mudflap
Red Rampage

Scout:

An Orange Dirt Boss
A Perceptor colored Scalpel

Voyager:

A Yellow or Constructicon colored Demolisher
A Black/Bronze "Premium" Fallen (*cough*not called "Premium")
Spinister (a la War for the Skies)

HA:
Cliffjumper (seems obvious)
Swerve (wouldn't surprise me)

It's not just repaints you know? We have an unusual number of new molds too. So far we have:

Scout
Brakedown vs. ???
Sonar vs. Wideload
Scattorshot vs. ???
Skystalker vs. ???

Deluxe
Tuner Mudflap vs. a Sideswipe repaint (since he's mentioned in Mudflap's bio)
Dirge vs. Armorhide
Cannon Bumblebee vs. ???
Ratchet vs. Lockdown
Brawn vs. ???
Elita-1 vs. ???

Voyager
Jungle Attack Ironhide vs. Decepticon Bludgeon
Mindwipe vs. ???

We may get that red Rampage, a repaint of Ransack and one of Voyager Ratchet according to TFArchive. But for the rest...

Oh, I know there's a bunch of new molds, but the second sub-line in most of the last series that Hasbro's done has had a lot of repaints (look at Armada's Unicron Battles, with almost every major character getting a repaint, Energon's Powerlinx Battles, Movie '07's AllSpark Power, and so on).

Wanna bet Skystalker and Mindwipe will also see repaints?
I'm guessing ether G1 Dreadwind and Darkwing or their G2 namesakes.

I'm sorry, I've been absent a few days. Mindwipe? Can anyone give me some more info on this? Missed it entirely.

What about movie 1 Incinerator repainted as the Springer as was presented by the movie Robot Heroes?

Mindwipe is a Stealth Bomber.Voyager I believe. He is part of the new offerings in the ROTF line that include ROTF Lockdown (yes based on the Animated Lockdown, but is a new mold), Bludgeon, and others.

They were revealed at SDCC. http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... dcc/16582/

Wow thanks for that link , didn't know so many ROTF figs are coming out too, now I must be more selective to what I choose..

This is speculation, but I think Brawn and Mindwipe will be paired as rivals.
They're the ones that have the gimmicks with the scouts, right?
It makes sense to me.

And why did I forget the Soundblaster wanna-be?

News Credits: 1 · Wed Oct 07, 2009 12:03 pm

not so much speculation as empty prayer, but i would be really happy if stratosphere got a repaint, and soundwave got repainted into blaster (perhaps in the next universe line)

on a more realistic note, i think demolishor (who is really scavenger) will get a demolishor (white) repaint that is marketed as scavenger.

(if that confused you: in the movie the white one at the beginning was demolishor and the red one that was part of devistator was scavenger)

Probably because most of the fan base assumed it was just a Japanese Exclusive. The fact that we get the release is pretty cool.

Repaints of universe prowl,sunstreaker and hound as cons would be sweet, same as last time with crankcase and fracture
new heads would be ever better
a movie bumblebee repainted white as a con (bugbite) come on, its about time the cons got that mold
a new mold Sunstorm would top the lot though

oh a repaint of voyager ROTF megatron instead of that slim green one
maybe in alternity black diamond colours or G2 green and purple like that test version we saw a while ago
and finally the rest of the contructicons plz....
