Remember the recent Bonecrusher repaint? Remember the very edge of a previously unknown Mudflap repaint, that looked to be light tan plastic with bits of orange?

Well, Tommybg2003 over at TFW2005 has found images of the mysterious repaint in Wal-Mart's computers: a two pack with ROTF Starscream.







This two pack was not shown at BotCon 2010 among the other upcoming exclusives and isn't officially posted on Walmart.com, but keep watching Seibertron.com and we'll update you when it does.

So does Hasbro just make too many of a mold & repaint it & re-package it to death to try & get rid of all of 'em? Tuner Mudflap has been sitting on shelves everywhere like a plague of locusts.

A ten second(if that) scene from ROTF gets a release? Well I guess "Gathering At The Nemesis" was the begining, and Shanghai Showdown as well as the packs shown at Botcon continue the trend. Wonder what's next? Hmm...

Coming Soon:

-I Want His Brain! With repaints of Scalpel, Human Alliance Sam, and Voyager Megatron.

-Thief In The Night! Human Alliance Mikella and Legend Wheelie repaint, with new mouse trap accessories.

-Get In My Belly!!! With Mixmaster, Skids, and Human Alliance Agent Simmons repaints. (Devastator wouldn't be very feasable for a multi-pack.)

-Ancient Warrior, Final Battle! Jetfire and Scorpinok repaint.

-Over The Line On The Burning Sands! First ROTF Ironhide remold and Long Haul repainted with a more sandy motif.

-The Shard Is Ours! Legends Ravage, Human Alliance Lennox and Sgt. Eps repaints with new weapons/helmets and All-Spark Shard.

I think that would pretty well cover ALL the scenes from the movie.

It doesn't work that way. Exclusives such as this are usually requested by the chains themselves. If anything, blame them, it's always the chains' fault for ordering, and some figures shelfwarming.

Pass pass pass for me...

More Mudflaps!!!!! AHHHH!!!

I'm sick of seeing Mudflaps everywhere I hit a store. I even see them at Safeway on the small toy section they have, overly priced though. Human Allian Mudflap is the best mold, no questions asked. Please Hasbro stop making this mold!!

And what is up with that repaint???!! Looks like they bleached the color with some clorox..

I'LL PASS...

Wow! Starscream got two figures in the HFTD line. First the leader class (which is a nice move) that Prime needs to use the hooks to go after him. Now they need to send Mudflap to chase him also? I don't think so. Good luck, Walmart.

I actually am going to get this set. I like this version of Starscream in white. It just looks good to me. Ol' Flapper there can rot with the other version I have.

VERY ugly repaints

So, um, what does the battle-damaged Bonecrusher have to do with this? Just curious

Is Starscream more white or is Mudflap the only repaint ???

In one of the photos, there was a glimpse of this Mudflap and there was some speculation on what it was.

Starscream looks to be a redeco too. The original was darker.

If they're going to repaint this Starscream mold, why don't they do a version without the Cybertronian tattoos?

Y'know what? I still like that Mudflap.
Maybe I can go halfsies with my brother.
Give him Starscream, but I want that Mudflap.

Looks like Mudflap ran over some people with all the blood stains on the roof.

That's what I said before!
It's "Holy ****, I Killed a Guy" Mudflap.

Also, I opened this page on the iPhone, and it shortened the title to "Starscream's Ass," and I laughed.

Do not want.

Well. Those colors on Mudflap are horrible, but I really would like that Voyager Starscream, so I Think I can add this to my Must get list

As soon as I read this, I literally laughed my head off and fell to the floor. I think I found my new signature here
