Packaging Images of Reveal The Shield Bodyblock- Allegiance Revealed

At last, we've got looks at the North American packaging of the upcoming Reveal The Shield Scout class figures, Bodyblock and Downshift. Bodyblock is a green and white repaint of HFTD Breacher, while Downshift is a black, blue and yellow repaint of HFTD Hubcap. While the images are not big enough to distinguish the entire biographies of both figures, we now know the allegiance of Bodyblock. Take a look at the images below!

I'd like to take the sticker off Bodyblock and turn him into a Decepticon with a repro label.
:CON:

"Of all the circuit glitched, diode blowin' dimwittery..." #-o

Leave it to Hasbro to render their own gimmick completely, utterly, hopelessly useless. :BANG_HEAD:

Now that I've said that for the umpteenth time about the RTS line, I do have to say that, from what I can tell from those pics, the lighter colors aren't as vibrant as the first pics we saw of this guy and he is looking like a good match color-wise for Deep Dive. I'm liking Downshifts paint scheme and I'm glad that they kept his allegiance the same as it's always been. For the life of me I can't figure out what Rumble is doing in the RtS line. Personally, I think all of the G1 make-overs should have gone into the Generations line. Of course, this may be expecting too much from a company that manages to screw up their own gimmick by printing the freaking faction logo on the back of the packaging. Dumbasses... :BOOM:

Generations is no more. RTS is both Movieverse and Classics, all in just one toyline.

I think they made him a Tap-Out homage

Actually, Generations is still going alongside Reveal the Shield. More Classics toys for us! :DANCE:

Do WHAT? But we've barely seen enough figures for ONE toyline, let alone two!

The catch is, Reveal the Shield will have 4 new toys per wave, Generations only 2. Look at wave 6 with Kup and Scourge, and 7 with Thundercracker and Wheeljack.

Less the two lines running side by side, and more like RTS is a subline of Generations. I think Hasbro just realized they need to reuse the rubsign technology to keep a trademark or something.

I'd buy a repaint of Breacher as Decepticon Micromaster Dropshot. Preferably with a new head. But I don't have any desire to own this guy.

As Body Block is an Autobot does this mean Deep Dive is an Autobot

No. Deep Dive is a Decepticon.

Just because they were mentioned as partiners in Sea Spray's Bio doesn't mean that the partnership transcends repaints

I am so glad that Rumble is blue. My wife will be STOKED! When she bought her new Civic Last year, she named it Rumble.

Good luck finding it... seems like it was never shipped out for the most part. Hasbro even took this wave (this 3 figs) off hasbro toy shop. Kinda implies their not selling anymore. But i really want that frenzy and windcharger :lol:

FIBRIR!

Yeah yeah, I know, according to the original toys (and even what the artists were SUPPOSED to do), Rumble is red, but on the show, which I watched (and still do :P), Rumble is blue (and also a light shad of purple :P.

So these are figures that were never released and they don't plan on releasing them? That sucks. I was going to buy 2 of them (Rumble and the Breacher repaint to go with Deep Dive to match my Seaspray/Breacher combo).
