ACToys.net has posted some new pictures. The 2007 Movie Starscream repaints Ramjet and Skywarp that we have previously seen, will be coming out as Walmart exclusives. Also included in the pictures is a 2-pack of Evac and Wreckage repaints that will be called "Whirl" and "Bludgeon"! Check out the new pics here:

I'm buying Whirl and Bludgeon.

Those are some real nice repaints.

I really like the packaging on Skywarp. I hope it's easy to open as I've never got that type of box before.

Even though its really nice, its too bad the box will live its whole life inside... another box.

That will be one more set of Seekers completed for me. Sweet!

Man, I can tell already that this line's going to freakin' bankrupt me.

Definately getting the 2-pack since I never got either of those the first time around. What is the "Master of Metallikato"???

Here's Wikipedia's definition of "Metallikato"

The G1 version of Bludgeon was a master of Metallikato, a Cybertronian Martial Art, according to his Tech Spec:

"To know your own limits, you must first know your foe's limits."

A merciless, emotionless master of Metallikato, the deadly Cybertronian martial art. Attacks his enemies' fracture points while remaining outside their line of fire. High-powered antennas produce electrical fireballs with a range of over 400 yards. Battle armor secretes ordorous, mucus slime. Smoke generators in legs produce billowing clouds of black smoke that disorient the enemy. Inner robot armed with high-voltage electric cannon.

Nice throwback, I'll give them that, but why throw Whirl in there? He's just strong

And yes, the Seekers will be mine!

Skywarp looks sweet! I'm certainly gonna pick him up, especially since I have G1 deco Screamer and Thundercracker.

Ramjet looks really cool, but I'll be needing to save some cash for good old Devestator. He's a maybe.

I enjoy the Wreckage repaint alot, but the Whirl is a little blah to me. I'm glad to see movie Evac get a little more use, but I don't know if its worth the thirty bucks to get both. Like I said, with the amount I'm already spending on movie two I need to trim some stuff.

Guess this sorta retcons Alliance #2, where Wreckage took that paint scheme. Oh well, small detail.

IIRC, The MP Starscream box was rather hard to get into. This one might be different though.

Whirl's a ninja? WTF?

Dang those are sharp looking. Can't wait to get my hands on those!

At lAST! I can complete some sort of seeker set!

Those are some really nice repaints. Think ill be getting them all. Knew i wouldnt be saving money during this line.

Skywarp and Ramjet look really cool. I didn't see either of them mentioned as appearing in the movie. Unless they are in the movie, I am not going to spend the money on them.

This movie is going to get enough of my money already.

What, no Thrust and Dirge?

Get em all out to us.

I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later. I won't mind picking up some G1 repaints since I'm only up to about 5 ROTF figs wantlisted.

Sucks that they are WM Exclusives, but considering how everyone hates the mold so much, I shouldn't have any trouble finding them.

i'm geting them all!

Whirl is a "Master of Metalliko"? Interesting.

Too bad that Blackout is one of the weakest toys to be released in the past few years, otherwise it'd be a good set to purchase.

Thanks

...I'm not supposed to like a repaint! *headdesk* My wallet's gonna kill me this year...

I'll get skywarp, snce I don't have a skywarp.

Nice evac and wreckage repaints, but neither mould is worthy of getting again.

Hey is it just me or did they take off the back of whirl?

They probably did to make him fit into a thinner package. It can pop right back on.

I actually display my Evac with the backpack disconnected. Makes it easier to fit into the display.

They are very nice repaints and I do like the Skywarp. Veeery nice. Alas, it being a Wal-Mart exclusive I will just have to let it go and spend my money else where. Le sigh.
