Seems like Bonecrusher from Transformers first movie is getting another repaint. According to Energon Pub member s250 this figure will be repainted into the Battle Damage version.

No further information of this toy is available at this moment.

Stay tuned to Seibertron, for all your latest news on Transformers!

To the left of the main picture there seems to be yet another repaint of skids/mudflap... I bet we haven't heard the last of them... :BANG_HEAD:

Bonecrusher hates being dead, so he got better. Bonecrusher hates having only one optic! Bonecrusher also hates it when others (Mudflap? Bonecrusher hates the Twins!) sneak into his photos! But most of all, Bonecrusher hates still being smaller than Optimus Prime who he hates so much!

So I guess this (along with that Legends pack) is Hasbro saying Bonesy did indeed cameo in ROTF?

I really hope Hasbro isn't readying yet another set of repaints for the twins. Tuner Skids isn't even out yet, and Mudflap/Tuner Mudflap make up a good 50% of the entire ROTF stock still currently on store shelves. Perhaps its a FAB/Activator we're seeing? I don't own the deluxe version of either of the twins, so I can't be sure if that is in fact the deluxe mold in the photo.

Well ol' Bonecrusher did make a cameo in ROTF.

Already have the first figure, so I'll pass if this is a real figure. Bonecrusher's like the smallest deluxe I've seen of the movie line, and as most would expect, he most likely hates that too. I agree with the idea of there being a Voyager Bonecrusher, it would certainly open up for more possibilities of stop motion re-enactments of his death, though Bonecrusher would obviously hate that too. In fact he probably hates me now for even suggesting such a thing.

Thanks to the Transformers Wikis for the "hate jokes", I always laugh at those. :lol:

Well, from the movie 1 Decepticons I only miss Bonecrusher, so I may pick this up (either on clearence or for dirt cheap just like I got the others)

Like the mold, not enough to warrant another buy of this mold. Colours look pretty crappy.

From my trusty list of names, this might be Tomahawk.

Mon Jun 07, 2010 12:04 pm

One of my favorite molds from the 07 movie. I will buy this even with the nasty colors.

So if this is going to really be battle damaged, shouldn't he have a removable head? :BANG_HEAD:

News Credits: 1452 · Mon Jun 07, 2010 1:38 pm

Oh whoops.. didn't read the 'Battle Damage' part of this. Really lame then.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jun 07, 2010 1:55 pm

I never got around to picking it up originally, so I'll buy it when Wal-mart does a Rollback after it comes out, but that will be after I pick up all of the badass Generations that are coming out.

Mon Jun 07, 2010 3:10 pm

Bah another repaint, wake me up when they make a Leader class.

way to go hasbro...Way to go..... :roll:

Mon Jun 07, 2010 5:00 pm

anyone ever stop to think that maybe the mudflap in the back is a custom?

News Credits: 20 · Mon Jun 07, 2010 5:25 pm

A bit late to be selling a battle damaged Bonecrusher don't you think? Eh, I have the first one and that's good for me. I wouldn't really be too thrilled unless they made a new mold for him as leader or even voyager size.

News Credits: 3 · Mon Jun 07, 2010 6:31 pm

I'm surprised how much love Bonecrusher gets. I think the mold is rather weak. Ugly bot mode, poor articulation, the bottom of the alt mode isn't solid...the back wheels are a bit flimsy due to the peg attachment and the middle wheels don't quite touch the ground on a smooth surface, transformation isn't all that exciting. I dunno, I don't get the appeal...

I bought Jungle Bonecrusher, but cmon ??? The guys been dead since the first movie. Cant they just let him rest in piece ???

And how about that Skids repaint ??? Why didnt they show that ??? And the robot modes ??? With all due respect to the camera man, I dont understand the point of these "smuggled" or "top secret" figure photos ??? If you are that close to the owner of the figure that you can sneak in his house to take pictures while his back is turned, why not just ask him to pose the figure ???

Well.... it's the movieverse, characters get reiterated every once in a while it's how Transformers work. That's not Skids, it's Mudflap. Not entirely sure if it's new or not but it's awfully familiar to the Lawson Movie Exclusives, and don't really warrant my interest. They take photos like these because they like to tease Transformers fans, it's just how it is.

I personally love ugly bots, but...
He had a memorable scene in the movie, plus a very unique alt mode. Everybody has had tank, car, truck, plane, and helicopter Transformers (hell, you basically get all that with just the Combaticons), but nobody's got a... a... mine-sweeping vehicle... with an arm!

That joke about him hating everything also makes him popular. Kinda ironic, really.

Bonecrusher hates how you think that is ironic.

In all seriousness, I do think that the Bonecrusher character should go away, but there is a fanbase out there. I kind of wish that they'd just be done with it and put him in the Human Alliance Class with some drone or something.

i think i'll stick w/ the original w/c i already have. i mean it's just a remold of the head w/ a new paint job.

Why does Hasbro haunt me so?
I like this mold, and I like Battle Damage, but I still want him as a Voyager. :sad:

I know it won't happen, but I can dream...

News Credits: 2 · Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:58 am

Like i said before, this guy needs to be a Voyager to tackle prime! or a HA version of this guy would be nice too!!

Out of both molds, Jungle Bonecrusher is the best looking i think...

Yeah, that's not a bad idea.

He wouldn't look great with the other HA toys, but he'd be more in scale with the likes of voyager Prime.

As for this repaint, is it Bonecrusher or Tomahawk?
