Wal-Mart.com has been updated with listings of many new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen figures with images! New figures include deluxe-class Jolt, Arcee, The Twins (in ice cream truck form) and more including Ravage, Dead End (who looks a lot more like the movie Audi R8 than Sideways does), Swerve (Sideswipe repaint) & Blaze Master.

All the new figures can be seen by clicking the links below:

Wheelie
interagator Barricade
Cannon Bumblebee
Blaze Master
Ravage
Jolt
Skids & Mudflap (ice cream truck mode)
Dead End
Arcee
Swerve

Unfortunately, I don't see myself spending money on any of the above toys.

i will get every one of these toys, if all of them are in the movie. like blaze master, i dont think i will get him. and arcee had better be mis-transformed. ugly! but i will get it any way.

LOL dead end and swerve repaint already

I want a Tracks repaint of the 'Vette and a Bugbite repaint of the Camaro - fund it

The original toys haven't even been released and already we have repaints... Swerve = Sideswipe, and I have to say Dead End does look a lot better than Sideways.
I only really like the twins in Icecream van mode..., looks like that's the one I'm getting. I wonder what Blaze Master's alt will ook like. I mean, it's going to be a helicopter, but what make / type.

why did they repaint the corvette red and call it swerve?? I could never understand why he was given a sports car update in other continuities. Wouldnt it been better if they called it a g1 redeco of Sideswipe, like they did with Jazz in the first movie (not that they released that repaint here in lil ol NZ)

I am just going to throw this out there but that Blaze Master figure looks a hell of a lot like the legends class Springer we saw earlier. And the blades on each arm resemble the ones seen on the heroes of Cybertron Springer.

I have to wonder if the way I feel about this line of toys is the way that all the G1 folks felt as Beast Wars was being revealed...

That's a fair representation. Although I eventually ended up getting almost all of the Beast Wars line because they grew on me....and I don't see that happening with these guys.

I think ill need the Ice Cream truck. Deluxe Class combiner! Comedy Combiner at that.

And you know what I prefer Swerve and Dead End. Better colour schemes. Keen to see swerves head as Dead end got a re-mold. Might just pop the head off Universe Sideswipe and see if that fits.

but can I also say

Wheel Feet Wheel Feet Wheel Feet Tiny Feet Tiny Feet and gun hands.

A Deluxe Dead End as well? I'm not fussed on that head but I'm pretty happy about that. I wasn't expecting to be able to get two of them so soon.

It seems a bit weird to me for the same name to be used twice on two totally different designs.

well jolt and blazemaster look good at any rate. I'm really disappointed with the actual identity of the ice cream truck though. I was really hoping for...well, a single bot. An autobot like Wreck-gar or a twisted decepticon would have been preferable.

i have to strongly agree with you here, although it is odd that were seeing blaze master before springer.

also i don't care if it says swerve that's my sideswipe... now i just have to pray that he has the same head(or a more g1 sideswipe looking head!)

and jolt looks alot better than i expected, kinda reminds me of g1 skids. damn you hasbro and your name swapping!

Ice cream Twins + Jolt = Purewinawesomedoublepusgood.

Peace be upon all,

How could they do that to Arcee!!??
I wish they would have made this some unheard of character than to make such an iconic character into a disfigured figure!

As I said before, a lot of this line is looking dark, distorted and depressing!

So far, my TF2 budget will be for tickets, the game and the DVD...

although I'm not liking Arcee, at least it's a different mold from chromia, which could mean they DO combine... just one more bike to see (and, well, a pic of them combined) and we'll have our answer.

loving Swerve... was hoping for a red repaint... he's totally gonna be my Sideswipe! and Blazemaster Totally looks exactly like the legends springer, and duel rotors suggests an osprey alt-mode... odd that springer would be a deluxe though (I'm assuming this guy is a repaint)

My eyes. They burn

What the hell is wrong with Arcee?? She looks like she just narrowly survied an explosion...

Really hoping that Arcee is mis-transformed. Not that it matters to me. Glad to see a red "Sideswipe" though.

Those ice cream twins look funny.

Not my thing but I hope other folks like these toys enough to purchase.

Rail Racer is a much better 3-piece combiner in any form.

I'm definitely getting the ice cream truck version rather than the individual versions of Skids and Mudflap--it's unique and I'll save 11.88! I'll probably pass on Arcee (the one from the first movie line is fine for me) and Swerve (unless he gets a new head mold too--I generally stay away from straight repaints) but I like the rest!

Given that the figure turns into a TV news helicopter, and given the semicircular attachments for the rotor blades, I think Hasbro somehow managed to get one four-bladed rotor to split in two.

I totally agree with you on this. Something I find interesting - they do a repaint of 'Swipe and opt for Swerve? Why not Sunstreaker? To me, that would have been the logical choice as the first repaint. Are they maybe saving Sunstreaker for TF3? Now that would be freaking excellent!
