Its not the payload that we've seen but maybe they decided to use him in the movie and made some changes. From the look I say Decepticon.

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

EXACTLY! I mean, look at it. It's some sort of truck with a big tralier-like thing on its back and over its top. Not the mention the orange & yellow designs on its side that looks like fire!

I'm thinking this is some wannabe Rodimus Prime design.

Bulkhead! Nah...

Rodimus springs to mind when looking at this pic as well. Specially with the fire on the side. However there is some sort of mark on the bonnet, could be anything but it kinda looks like a con symbol to me.

Anyway it looks kinda bland... I assume/hope it will get more paint apps before it is finished.

That's clearly Soundwave for my trained and very expert eyes.

On the other hand, my n00b eyes say it's Rodimus Prime Daltonics Edition.

That's actually a TF Scout Class once again. And saying it's Soundwave is clueless, Soundwave's alt is completely different from that. Even if it's his earth mode, the truck is too small.

These are the new pics that have shown up from TF08.net which proves what I've said.

(And what's with everyone's bad guesses as to what it is? Sure the naming is okay but actually guessing it's a remolded Movie Payload etc? That's ridiculous. Other than repaints, Hasbro isn't likely to recycle stuff and whip it out.

The only thing returning to the movie line will probably be the Movie screen bots and cons. Other than that, everything else will be original.)

It seems to be an autobot. I like the fact that there is a Scout class in this movie line.

The robot looks like some rejectrd Armada trrilogy guy, but I'll give it a chance. Funky arms though..

Well, the first Movie line DID have a Scout class, technically: the Real Tech line or whatever they were called, plus the Scout repaints that Target sold exclusively under the Movie line.

But hopefully THESE Scouts are based on characters from the movie. If not, at least they're new molds instead of repaints, and vehicles instead of fake watches and MP3 players.

As we reported yesterday TF08net had posted an image of what might be a new toy for the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toy line.
These new images show us a misstransformed robot-mode and a clearer look at the truck-mode. It looks to be scout and an Autobot.
Happy guessing on who or what it might be.

Stay tuned to seibertron.com fr all your Transformers related news.

O.K. I'll retract my previous statement its clearly not Payload.

I think I'll call him Bob.

Seriously though looks like for this movie they are toning down the movie look.

by **dabattousai** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 1:34 pm

Looks interesting, might not be affiliated with the movie at all.

Whatever that is, the bot mode looks bad.

News Credits: 8 · by **Megatron Wolf** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 1:50 pm

After seeing the new pics i dont think its a movie figure. It looks to much like a normal TF to be part of the movie line. But then again the first movie had figures that looked normal because they werent in the movie or game so this could be the same thing. Im surprised that its an Autobot. The figure screams Decepticon to me.

I'm guessing this toy is from a promption or the fast action battler line.

The level of detail is not there and the transformation is somewhat simple.

Just my $0.02

by **Riotflea** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 1:58 pm

First that paneled Soundwave thingie and now this? lol

Yikes.

Other than being supremely bland, it has something I hated on the helicopter a few years back... where the shoulders meet the body.

On the helicopter, his arms were just like HANGING off the wings.
In this thing, the arms are just hanging off the panels coming off it's back.

Insanity. Pure insanity.

Gotta be a non-movie scout class...look at the quarter next to the figure. I'm HOPING it's just a FAB...that looks way to simple for anything else.

by **Rocketeer** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 2:16 pm

Am I the only one noticing the Red Bull logo on the side... and the Red Bull colors of the van...
It's like Dispensor all over again. :mrgreen:

Looks like a really cheap figure that absolutley had no time put into it.

knockoff.

It's a scout class.. Scout classes don't have details and it's not even transformed. Definitely far from a knockoff.

is that a red bull truck for an alt mode? :-?

by **Fatconvoy** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 4:42 pm

yeah, i'm some what suitably unimpressed with the rotf stuff we've seen so far. you know how it goes;

soundwave = generic

dead end = animated

subject of this thread = happy meal

what next? megatron with.... a new hat...
