yizhi521 of TF08 has posted images of two new figures. One is of an unknown charater who is a repaint of Stockade. Another is a repaint of the Scout Dead End, into the Autobots' favourite detective: Nightbeat! And the final picture is that of Arcee.

Check them out here

I liked the Stockade mold--if they give him a new head mold for this autobot version, I may pick him up--although that color plastic looks like it may have gold plastic syndrome down the road.

Arcee still looks hideous.

Oooo, I like Nightbeat! I like it better than the red Deadend version!

Arcee looks like crap, but I plan on getting the Human Alliance set that includes Arcee. The robot mode sucks, but the bike mode will look cool with the little Megan Fox action figure riding it! Also, that's a terrible picture of Arcee. It looks like the person intentionally mistransformed it to make it look as bad as possible.

The designs on the SUV suggest - dare I hope? - Gears!

That was my first thought too!

I'm skipping the lame-@$$ bike-bots.
There is a line between alien design and pile-o-scrap.

I like the Nightbeat. I like the red one too, I'll probably get both.

I like Arcee. I can't wait to pick her up. But I won't if the size of the HA Arcee isn't right to Chromia and the other bike, I'll probably pick this one up.

Nightbeat and the Stockade repaint... doubt I'll get them. I might get the Stockade repaint if it has a new head and some new mold detailing. But Nightbeat. Nah, I don't think so. I am not going to pick up any Scout repaints. Or any repaints and remolds for anything altogether. (Save for Ironhide and Bumblebee since I missed out IH and BB broke and the Desert Brawl repaint... I don't have Animated Blitzwing). But yeah, Arcee is still in the good books with me while these other two are below maybe for now.

i would have thought night beat would be an emergency service vehicle. Then again, after barricade, do you need another one?

If stockade has some remolds i may get him. The rest are a pass. Arcee looks horrible. Reminds me of the damn snake things from Terminator.

I didnt get stockade the first time and the funny lookin aqua dosent go well with the silver. Is hasbro stockpiled with paint and are try to repaint everything in this series. I got all of the scouts from 07 so ill be doin the same this year. I will get arcee but i was hopin a solid pink to go with the 07 movie mold.

Arcee...FAIL. Stockade...I like the original colors. Will have to see bot mold. Nightbeat I will pick up for sure.

That Stockade repaint isn't as good as this one.

The Stockade repaint is pretty sweet.. not liking the Teal symbols... reminds me too much of the Allcrack line. Nightbeat is a nice repaint, while Arcee makes Voyager Demolisher look fantastic.

I'd like the Stockade recolor to be Wheeljack. Come on, it already has a head mold that practically screams Wheeljack.

Definitely picking up Nightbeat. After all these years, be nice to have a Scout size Nightbeat to fit in with the Diaclones. Sure the head is different to the comics but then a lot of G1 toys looked different to the comics/cartoons. Ratchet, Ironhide and the Seekers come to mind.

Be nice if they repainted Cybertron Breakdown and Clocker to give us a Basic Blurr and Hot Rod. Clocker's mold was used in the last Movie line.

Yes looking forward to getting Nightbeat.

All three are f******g hideous. :evil:

Until we get pics of the third arcee and all three of them combined, I will pass on them. :???:

Fri May 29, 2009 5:22 pm

I am really sure about one thing; it was really STUPID of Michael Bay to not use Arcee from TF 1. Hope the combiner looks cool otherwise I'll pass.

Arcee's robot mode is supposed to be what now exactly? A train wreck?

News Credits: 1 · Fri May 29, 2009 5:39 pm

Canonball?

News Credits: 4 · Fri May 29, 2009 5:45 pm

Oh Arcee...what have they done to you? I really don't see what was wrong with the original design...What's the point of having individual robots combine when the individual ones don't look like anything except an unfinished part of something else?

Won't be buying the Nightbeat repaint but kudos to them for thinking of that
