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.

What have they done to Breacher?

"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.

by **SwerveGears** » Tue Sep 06, 2011 6:39 pm

by **SwerveGears** » Tue Sep 06, 2011 6:40 pm

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!

And i still wonder why alternators F/R was called rumble... when he was red. Now they call the blue one Rumble #-o

. I still belive that FIBRIR :lol:

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

), Rumble is blue (and also a light shad of purple

.

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).
