That's what I was thinking.

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.

It looks like a grey Rodimus Prime to me...

I hope its not a repaint of payload...hands down the worst TF ive ever bought. Worse than armada sideswipe imo

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.

That's what I thought. Looks like the old camper van.

looks kinda like a garbage truck...
....Movie Wreck-Gar lol

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.

Wed Dec 10, 2008 3:41 pm

Front end looks more like a school bus to me.

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.

woo first news credit

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 :-?

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...
