Let's discuss the (possible)leaked designs we've seen for the Nascarbot and Decepticon SUV characters. Remember that we can't post images without copyright backlash.

Personally, I like the Decepticon's design, judging by the toy. It has a very bestial look to it, what with the bat-like "ears" and fangs. The Autobot's mullet, on the other hand, kind of makes me want to wretch.

Ha ha! A Nas car bot with a mullet! :APPLAUSE:

I wonder if his voice wil have a southern accent.

As far as posting pics why not? If these were confirmed pics taken from Hasbro then i can understand not posting them so not to upset them, but i don't see any legal aspect of it. Looks to be pictures taken by a private party.

Were did you see the pictures?

They were in a post somewhere in this forum. And the NASCARs were confirmed earlier to be called the Wreckers and the SUVs are called "Dreads" and they're Megatron's drones.

I understand Hasbro wanting to surprise us, but it's silly at this point. As for the toys themselves love the mullet.

A robotic mullet? On the NASCAR Autobots? Ahahahaha! That's WAY too funny and stereotypical to NOT be cool. Of course, I haven't seen the figs yet...

EDIT:...and they did the same thing with the ROTF twins. They weren't very cool. Ok, now I'm nervous. :lol:

I swear I'll shoot the guy who makes the NASCAR bots "southern redneck" with all the crap I get from people when I tell them I watch freaking NASCAR races every weekend.

LOL, this keeps getting better and better in (So Bad it's Good) quality concerning "Moon" Oh Bay, you and your sterotype driven creativity, what will you think of next. :APPLAUSE:

I'm off to find pics....this should be a riot.

I brushed it off about Skids & Mudflap, but now that I see that stereotypes are carrying on, I see now that this is a mockery, plain and simple. You have to give him credit, though.... He went after white & black, so he's an equal opportunity offender.

Wow,
I can't believe I blew off my workout routine just to search for pics of these two.....

And it was almost worth it. I found a pic, with both of the bots standing side by side.....a blue Nascar Mullet bot (Just as promised) and a SUV evil looking Ironhide bot...but they were small. The figures not the pics....

Also ran into possible concept art for Shockwave....which matched the censored comic cover mentioned here a while ago. It looks pretty....meh. Better then i thought it would be, accept he seems to have one of Meg's spindly spider leg hands....he's pretty much ROTF Megs....accept he doesn't have the crab claw and only one hand....which is spindly.

As for the Mulletbot, he reminds me more of Milli Vanilli with his blue drapped dreads.

Ah, good times. Good times.

Except Bay had nothing to do with the twins(other than letting it be used), the voice actors came up with it themselves.

Your best bet is to search the toy forums funny enough. Being the "Leaked" designs are actually prototype toys leaked from what I'm guessing is the Hasbro show room.

I don't think Toyfair is in full swing, when that comes around however you will have alot more leaked designs being thats where Hasbro will need to display they're whole toy line for potential buyers to purchase and stock the shelves by...when was the release date? July?

I think any more robot spoilers will in large part be from leaked photos of toy prototypes.

Images will not be posted on the website and I will hound on anyone that does. But do not feel that you are castrated to not link your fellow members to the images.
