knockoff.

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

Maybe he's never seen Activators Lockdown.

It's like Dispensor all over again.

I don't think it is Red Bull, no yellow sun between the two bulls. Looks a bit like a skull of an animal to me. Maybe a bull

Not sure though.

Also, I think his shoulders must hurt much more than Hot Shot's :lol:

TF08 has posted new images of their mystery truck figure. These images show the detail the toy has and seem to be correctly transformed. They also show it next to the previously seen read sports car Transformer that seems to be Movie Dead End.

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

Smaller figures look very cartoony compared to bigger movie figures because there's not enough room for the details. Example: FABs

BTW, I don't think it's Motormaster, it looks too much like an autobot (blue eyes, not a sharp corner

)

NOW THAT I FINALLY GOT A GOOD LOOK AT THE ROBOT MODE I THINK HE IS JUST OK. HE LOOKS LIKE HE BELONGS IN THE UNIVERSE LINE. I ALWAYS LIKE CONSISTENCY, SO I PREFER THE NEW MOVIE CHARACTERS TO KEEP THE "BUG LIKE" LIMBS AND FACES THAT WERE USED IN THE FIRST MOVIE. THE DEAD END FIGURE GOES GOOD WITH THAT CONCEPT. I WOULD HOPE TO SEE PAYLOAD OR SWINDLE (RED CAR) USED IN THE MOVIE CAUSE THEY LOOKED SO COOL HAVING JUST ONE EYE AND NO FACE. NO FACIAL EMOTION GIVES A WARRIOR LOOK. THIS GUY LOOKS TOO FRIENDLY

When I took my first look, the split second reaction was Cybertron Primus. Maybe it was the head, I dont know. Its not obviously.

Fri Dec 12, 2008 7:32 pm

it's roller.

Fri Dec 12, 2008 8:13 pm

anyone but me notice the vinyl on the side and the face of the redformer are alike?

sorry if it was mentioned

His chest reminds me of Sixshots. I think these are Movie Activators.

Fri Dec 12, 2008 8:53 pm

I'm guessing these are video game characters.

By the paint scheme it looks like a mobile Red Bull kiosk. Once in a while I see weird looking vans and trucks all decked out in crazy paint jobs and body mods to promote their energy drinks. I cant tell remotely what that bot supposed to be, but by the face it looks like a decepticon.

I think they should call him "Mr. Horribly-out-of-scale"

Fri Dec 12, 2008 10:58 pm

They look pretty good for possible scout class figures. I'm gona need more shelfs.

Fri Dec 12, 2008 11:22 pm

Well, now looking at the clearer images, It doesn't have a typical movie decepticon face, So If it is a movie toy, it's an autobot. Most likely another character not even in the movie.

And looking deeper, it has to be a movie toy. It obviously not an animated Figure. And it's too simple a figure to be from The Classics Line. And Recent Hasbro reports say that they are gonna start focusing on just those three Lines, Movie, Animated, and Classics, and that even classics line is gonna be taking a bit of a back seat, so......

I thought the same thing!

The headsculpt is pretty nice, and it is good to see the shoulders transformed correctly also. Not sure if I am going to buy it yet though...

The logo is remarkably reminiscent of Red Bull. Perhaps this is their stand-in for it, as the actual movie character IS a Red Bull-deco vehicle. Hasbro would be, understandably, reluctant to sell a vehicle with an actual logo on it, since they would have to pay royalties to the copyright holder.

Gone are the days when you could flagrantly plaster a toy with logos (like G1 Wheeljack) and get away with it...
