BBTS has updated it's listings pages with stock images of two new Transformers Movie deluxe figures, due out in February 2008.

See the listing for Jungle Bonecrusher (Bonecrusher repaint) by clicking here.

See the listing for Overcast (Dreadwing repaint) by clicking here.

I think Overcast should have been retooled a bit and made into an Autobot.

I like that colour scheme for Bonecrusher

Man, that blue really stands out...

I do like the colors, but I won't buy DreadWing again. And Bonecrusher, who is mostly awesome looses me with all he arm kibble.

really liked Overcast's alt mode colors. Sweet.
Ol' Bonercrusher? Looks way cooler than the original, colorwise, blue or no blue. ^^

The blue is part of the allspark power

I think it's a real missed opportunity to repaint bonecrusher in actual constructicon colors.

Or be given an actual head and be made into the conehead seekers.

He'd make a pretty cool Thrust.

With the nose-cone head and the afterburner arms hes got a quite similar aesthetic to armada thrust

Personally to me i think with a new head this could be beast wars waspinator movie style

I really like the colors for Overcast. I didn't get Dreadwing so maybe I'll pick this one up.

I think Overcast should of been given a real head

Sorry, I was alerted of the story via email and didn't get to check the forum. Please understand, the news crew is very under-staffed right now, and even the mods who are able to post are incredibly busy in their personal lives, like myself.

I'll still credit you in the story though, since you did report it first.

No prob Bro!
So you are under-staffed right now? Hmmm ...

Any chances that I could join the News Crew?

I thought Starscream would be a good Waspinator.

If im right, Glyph had a kitbashed Movie Starscream there where supposed to be Waspinator, in one of his older signatures.

Yeah, like that hasn't been done enough already...

Can we have ONE construction-type vehicle or Constructicon-named character that DOESN'T get repainted in that sickening neon green and purple colour scheme?

I likke Overcast.

I didn't know it was possible to make Bonecrusher more lame. I stand corrected.

I like the green for Bonecrusher, but the scheme in Robot mode could be better...

Ok...REALLY. For those of you who have Dreadwing, do his hips/legs SERIOUSLY need to be positioned that way? I've held out on getting him mostly because of this squatting jungle bushman look. The legs can't really be made to look, you know, NOT constipated?

I've got dreadwing and was pleasantly surprised by him. When you have him yourself you realise that the poses used in the pictures actually don't display the figure very well. You can stand him in a variety of positions without him toppling and the arms can be made to look better by turning the rudders out of sight. I don't know about two versions of him but its worth getting one. I like jungle crusher too, will probably get him if I see him less than £10.

Man, its nice to see Hasbro experimenting with....you know.....NON homage repaints

(Dubs Greeny, Jungle Crusher)

Thanks Doomsy

thru up a little at over cast

Overcast is nice, purely because he is very different from the original Dreadwing, a real head would have made me buy him, however, since he remains "Droned" he will remain on the shelf.

Jungle Crusher is growing on me, but not nearly enough to warrant a purchase, the original is good enough for me, although, again I give props to the people coming up with the repaints over the last 3 or so months, they are vastly superior to the repaints we have been suffering through the last 2-3 years that have for the most part been boring and bland recolours.
