Wow, they all look really...bad...

Yup. I just tasted what I ate earlier in the day. What a waste of plastic.

Looks like somone took a paintscraper to that Mudflap.

Wow, those are ugly.. I though Elita-1 was originally supposed to be all black? Im still hoping the third bike is Flare-Up with a new mold.

Wow...that PCC may be the single most mis-transformed figure I've ever seen. Mudflap? Yuck. That's just not good. ELita 1...aren't those the same colors as the scout class figure from the first movie??

Ugh, disgusting, all of them!

This is bad and you should feel bad.

Elita-1 is supposed to combine with the others, right? Or maybe Hasbro will release Flare-up with a new mold.

Sooo, despite all the claims of racism, Skids and Mudflap are apparently selling well enough to merit more repaints.
All the mistransformations make it impossible to properly judge these figures yet, but I dislike how 'neon' Mudslinger is compared to his drones.

Nope, the image we had before had hints of reddish/brown right where the final product has them.

I'm kinda surprised no one expected Elita-1 to be a repaint, actually, combiner or not.

Elita-1 is the 3rd sister. Flare-Up was a name that was randomly thrown out there 1 and a half years ago, it's most likely not coming

Personally I hope this is the last we'll see of this mold/figure theme

Thanks for the info.

Not sure if it's just the photos but based on what I see here, these are awful looking.

Elita-1 looks o.k. I guess, but she's supposed to be purple isn't she? Like, what happened?

I'm starting to think that Hasbro went 'they didn't combine in the movie, so lets forget that and just recolor one of the others so fans can have their third motorcycle, no one will care'.

I just want Mudslinger because Decepticons as a 'monster' truck amuse me (Even if they're never in scale, poor Dirt Boss).

No one gives a **** about Mudflap or Skidz, and that repaint looks more like a paint removal to boot. Bleh.

I'm also amused at all these old unused names we're seeing crop up again. Mudslinger, Bombshock. Dropshot and Treadbolt in Universe/Universe2. It's like someone at Hasbro went back to the 80s, looked through the micromaster lists, and picked out some of the cooler sounding names.

Of course that's also how they got Barricade and Blackout for the movie. <.<;

NO!

The PCC may look cool when transformerd correctly, but the others are a waste of plastic

Hey kids it's chopshop Mudflap! get yours before it's completely stripped!

Am i the only one who want to see the robot mode of mudflap ? I absolutely love this mold and while the first repaint of mudflap (can't remember his name) was ugly with all this gold, this one interests me.

I kinda like that Mudflap.
It's a neat concept.

Y'know what it looks like to me?
It's like, "Oh Sh*t, I Killed a Guy Mudflap."

Me too, that CAN'T be the same sister from the movie. It doesn't even have to be a new mold, they could slightly retool Arcee and it would work. Hopefully we'll get it for the next movie's toyline.

Mudflap = ugh, as usual. Really, I was always hoping for cycle sister #3 to be a new mold. Ah heck, I've completely stopped caring about the hidden combination.

Definitely getting the StunticDestructicons!

Wow, that Mudflap repaint is so great. I like that I can get it early too, Not by buying it anywhere, I can just take an existing Mudflap and shove it up my arse.

Wow so i guess im the only one who likes Elitas alt mode then, i still hate the robot mode but the Bike colors are pretty cool. If walmart still has ROTF figures for $9 when she comes out ill probably get her just for the bike mode. Mudslinger i might also buy since for some reason i loved the G1 figure when i was a kid. Mudflap is and always will be a pass. Only way id accept one is if some one said "heres a free figure" and handed it to me. It would then just be thrown in my closet since i dont want to look at it but i wont turn down a free TF. Even if it is a POS figure like that. What i dont get is that mudflap already has 2 versions and both are packing the shelves alongside wheelie so why is there a 3rd?
