News comes out of Hasbro.com. They've kick started the Hunt For the Decepticons campaign by giving us the information on it's background..

The AUTOBOTS have formed a secret alliance with humans to protect Earth from the DECEPTICON threat. Some troubling signs indicate that the DECEPTICONS are preparing to strike:

Several meteors have breached the atmosphere and seem to be aiming for different parts of the globe. The AUTOBOTS have also picked up increased communication signals from SOUNDWAVE but are unable to break the CYBERTRON-encrypted code.

Strange reports have appeared in various media. Among others a TV news report showed an unusual white muscle car in the northern jungle parts of Thailand heading toward China.

Sensing trouble, OPTIMUS PRIME keeps the AUTOBOTS on the highest alert.

Check back in early June to see how you can help the AUTOBOTS!

Hm, the only Decepticon cars that I white which I can think of right now are Breakdown and Runabout (or was it Runamuck?). Either way, what's all this aboot? I don't recall hearing anything about Hasbro doing something lilke this.

[Mindmaster]

I'm betting 2,00$ in Energon that the "unusual white muscle car" is going to be a repaint of the ROTF Lockdown mold, and may even come with a new head. Anyone agree with me?

[Jetstorm92210]

Or maybe, it is Barricade, who knows.

[Chaoslock]

A Bugbite repaint from one of the thousand Bumblebees?

Runabout is the white one.

Wrong: it's Runamuck. To avoid any confusion: Runabout is black, Runamuck is white. If you're looking at Cybertron Runamuck, the "Runabout" name was unavailable to Hasbro (The Japanese version was still named Runabout tho). So they went with Runamuck instead. Also, both Movie Brakedown and Runamuck have the same origin for their deco: G1 Breakdown.

I didn´t know that. My bad Anyway, thanks for the info.

Not sure if the white car will be Runamuck... might be one of the names in this list.

When I saw this post from Twitter via SMS, I thought the HFTD figures were sighted in the US

What if the 'unusual white muscle car' is actually DURIIFUTO-SAN?

Is no one thinking that it might be a white repaint of Lockdown possibly with a new head? Probably not, but hey, could be Bumblebee. But it also can't, because the description clearly states that it's a white MUSCLE CAR, not a CAMARO. Or are Camaros muscle cars too?

[WarzoneBeta]

....Drift?

[Blurrz]

....Drift?

Drift's in Generations not the movie toyline. Plus it's not a muscle car..

Yes, Camaros are considered muscle cars, as are Mustangs and Chargers. What Lockdown is could be considered a muscle car, but a HIGHLY modified one.

Yep-he isn't the typical muscle car. Unless this thread is about Mad Max.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

OK, so in conclusion:

Camaro = Muscle Car
Camaro = Bumblebee
White Camaro = White Bumblebee
White Bumblebee = Bug Bite

Could it really be Bug Bite, again? I hope he has tribal marking like the BotCon one...

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

Indeed, Lockdownn looks to be some sort of Corvette that's been modified for a Mad Max remake or a demolition derby.

So heres the thing. They keep pushing this hunt for the decepticons and nest thing. Autobots allies with humans. So where are the little mini 1 and a half to 2 inch articulated mini figures to go with the toy line. Come on this would be pretty kewl. They can make the characters from the movie and soldiers.

You mean Human Alliance isn't good enough for you?

....Drift?

Drift's in Generations not the movie toyline. Plus it's not a muscle car..

But it could be MOVIE Drift, a separate character from Generations Drift, kinda like ROTF Lockdown and Animated Lockdown.

But those were different figures. Highly doubtful that there will be two Drifts released in toylines going at the same time.

Well, they already did it with Animated and ROTF Lockdown.

[Blurrz]

Animated Lockdown was 2008. ROTF Lockdown was 2010.
