After being seen here just two days ago, a new auction has surfaced on eBay containing a new image of the previously seen Knockout figure, except this time in color! It would also appear he is an Autobot, but whether or not he will be in the upcoming movie is still unconfirmed. To view the image, click here.

And it has a decently proportioned robot mode. I may need to buy this...

It's kinda funny how after months of nothing, all of a sudden we are being flooded with figures for the new movie line.

Perhaps they don’t need these pre-production figures at this point during their development and they’re beginning to leak? Don’t know.

Regardless, I’m liking these new toys more and more, and this one follows suit.

If these scouts are anything like the last batch of movie scouts, they are not in the movie. Just a guess.

I will get this little guy and he will date my Arcee. :grin:

I like the scouts but not enough to buy any of them. But they do show promise for the rest of the movie line. However, it's too bad my new year's resolution is to not buy anything for myself in 2009-to save $ and actually see if I can pull it off. Good thing I could preorder MP Grimlock! Guess I'll miss the early movie line and will have to get the left overs in 2010.

Maybe they'll have the Premium Movie line in 2010.

Looks like a good figure. So far the scout class lineup looks pretty good.

Personally, I like how we're FINALLY getting some Motorcycle transformers that are up to par in terms of proportion and articulation with their car brethren. Even the cycles in Cybertron/Galaxy Force had issues (especially Lugnut and his repaint).

This is definitely one of the more decent motorcycle bots we've seen. Not sure if I'll get it. I might just stick to G1 homage figures again this time, unless I see something I really like.

It might get many repaints like Arcee

News Credits: 8 · by **Megatron Wolf** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 4:55 am

Looks alot better with paint. Ill have to pick this one up.

by **JaZzTaStIc** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 7:39 am

his cycle reminds me off animated prowl and an autobot :O
i had him defo down as a con but nvm, hes still pretty kool
so thats 4 scouts we've seen a 1 deluxe, i wonder whos next....

by **Technically weird** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 9:01 am

I LOVE the green. Not sure about him though. Just something about him I don't like.

by **kazmagnus** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 6:21 pm

for a "scout" its ok i guess least its not a repaint, maybe hasbro is listening to us finally, but as with the last movie ill pass on all scouts..besides i cant get this one based just on the head..whats with the organic heads that are on this one and the red car "detour"..not digging them at all i like the robotic movieline heads.

Animated Prowl is an awesome cycle-bot IMHO, but this one is certainly in improvement over stuff like Movie Arcee. Eughh.
