We're used to having toys revealed by our site sponsors or Transformers insiders overseas, but on Hasbro's own website? The watchful eye of a member over at TFW2005 has found instructions for two unannounced Scout versus packs on Hasbro's website. These four scout repaints are Blue Maximus, a repaint of of Ransack, Crosshairs, a repaint of Rollbar, Drydock, a repaint of Depthcharge, and Undertow, a repaint of Cybertron Shortround. Since instructions are in black and white, their color schemes aren't exactly revealed. Check the four Scouts in the images below!

Must keep adding to my squadron of biplanes.

Guessing that Drydock will be in the orange/white coastguard colors, but regardless of his paint job, he suffers from the intrinsic flaw of his mold - having possibly the largest alt-mode of any of the movie characters while being one of the smallest toys.

Yep, only those two. Needless to say, Ransack wwas pretty unique when he was first released.

And I need to see the proper colors before I make a decision. I'm pretty surprised Shortround rears his head again, gonna have to keep an eye on him. For those wondering how they're compiled (Autobot is listed first, then Decepticon):

Crosshairs vs. Blue Maximus
Drydock vs. Undertow

Pass pass.

Though it would be hilarious if they did Crosshairs in brown...since I work for UPS.

I'm kind of hoping that will be true.

That is one scout class I've skipped out on, but I would totally dig one in UPS color scheme.

As for the boat and bi-plane, bring them on! I'm all about having a fleet of these guys.

I'd get it and bring it to work just for lulz. :lol:

It's not a bad mold, I just haven't cared for any of the previous color schemes.

although hard to make out, there's a pattern on Blue Maximus' fuselage. I did a bit of looking, and it looks like a fairly accurate mimic of the Blue Max Fokker DVII.

This means that I shall purchase him.

Crosshairs appears to be a dark color, so the odds are he may be UPS brown or possibly gunmetal.


Not too concerned about the other pair. I own the original release of both molds, and I'm quite happy with them.

I agree. It is enough of a difference that I can't get past it.

(less than a month)

Has there been any further information on these 2-packs? I'm gonna guess they're Walmart releases, but any store save TRU will be fine.
