In the last few days there have been a lot of new images of toys related to the upcoming Transformers Movie. The latest images are interesting to say the least. New images of Cybertron Hardtop and Energon Signal Flare repaints have been posted on TFclub.com. Both have look to have military themed paint jobs, and instead of having the Autobot or Decepticon logo they have the Sector 7 logo. Click here to check out the images.

Well this explains the Arcee figure from yesterday and all the Energon and Cybertron Scout figures being in the wal-mart listing.

Wait, so they fight against the Transformers WITH transformers? WTF?

hahaha I just asked Chosen about those in the Arcee thread as he provided a link for us all, but the link led me to nowheresville. I think those are pretty cool looking. I love the hard top mould and enjoy the signal flair mould. I'll most likely pick those up for Ss&Gs

Oh, man, I wonder if these will be in the movie? Like...transforming and fighting the real transformers. I could picture these being Sector 7's work to combat transformers, but being woefully ineffective because they're so blocky. Haha, that would be such a smart-ass thing for Bay to do, and I'd love it!

Fire with fire I suppose.

I guess so. And what are Ss&Gs, if you don't mind me asking?

what´s Sector 7?

News Credits: 8 · by **Megatron Wolf** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 10:27 am

They are either mechs or S7 drones. Or just a reason for hasbro to repaint more figures.

News Credits: 8 · by **Liege Evilmus** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 10:44 am

See, now I don't like repains, but when they do them with tie-ins like this, I can't help but nod in approval.

That's almost uncanny how much Hardtop looks like the vehicles we see in the trailer that the soldiers are riding in.

I would suspect the latter. I mean, just look at those horrible Spider-Man 3 versions of Kraven, Lizard, Scorpion, and Rhino they released for the new Spider-Man flick. Totally, completely, and inexcusibely unnecesary.

Have no idea what the problem was, it had to be on your end. My link was identical to the one in the news post. Hotrod's links and mine both lead straight to the thread on TFClub where the original image came from.

Signal Flair looks like it should be a proto.

News Credits: 6 · by **Dr. Caelus** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 1:26 pm

Hardtop looks to have G1 Onslaught's paint scheme.

I like it.

Oh boy one from Energon one from Cybertron

There going to putting out more repaints this is stupid

News Credits: 1 · by **Redimus** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 2:24 pm

As much as I love the Cyb Swindle mold (and I do) Im a little disapointed.
They make the tfs look nothing like what we know and love. Fair enough. But then they chuck in a load of cheap repaints of really blocky toys. How the f do they fit in with the rest of the line again?

Love Hartop's mold, and it looks nice from what I can make out of the new colors... Little blurry. The SIgnal flare redeco I'm a bit less sold on, looks too much like it's just Offshoot with a Sector Seven logo on it. I'd like to see them both in robot mode before I pass judgement.

Looks like that list was legit... Which means no Ultras, sigh.

I could pick up the Energon and Cybertron repaints. Better than the movie figures.

by **Uncrazzimatic** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 3:01 pm

No to Signal flare, yes to Hardtop. But the real issue is where do I put them on my shelf? the poor sector 7 mechs will have no friends. :cry:

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 3:11 pm

That's cool. And kinda makes sense...

Fight fire with fire right?

So the government is capable of creating shape-shifting war machines which are capable to thinking for themselves? No wonder the debt is so huge...
