----------------------------------------------------------------------

Features

When SOUNDWAVE discovered the human operatives of the N.E.S.T. Global Alliance tracking him with their primitive radar, he decided to take care of the intrusion personally. He plummets through the atmosphere, his wings glowing red from the heat of reentry. Little does he know, however, that the humans’ primary defender — BUMBLEBEE— waits below him, his cannons charged, and eager for a fight. Get the battle started with this two-pack of metal-minded warriors! Your sinister INFILTRATION SOUNDWAVE figure definitely looks like he’s got what it takes to win the conflict — especially after you convert him to satellite mode and launch his RAVAGE projectile accessory. But when he’s up against your mighty BATTLEFIELD BUMBLEBEE figure the playing field levels and it’s anybody’s fight! Convert your AUTOBOT hero to Camaro concept car vehicle mode and use its pop-out cannon accessories to give your DECEPTICON fighter a taste of his own medicine. Who’ll win? Only you can decide!

Two-pack of special edition figures includes a BATTLEFIELD BUMBLEBEE character that converts from robot mode to Camaro concept car mode with pop-out cannon accessories and an INFILTRATION SOUNDWAVE figure that converts from robot mode to satellite mode with a launching RAVAGE projectile accessory.

Figures come with mission guide.

Ages 5 and up.

Ben Yee has supplied us with a bountiful amount of carded images for future Revenge of the Fallen releases. From the Deluxes we've got Ratchet, Recon Ravage (the mail-in exclusive), and Lockdown. In the scout class there's Skystalker, Scattorshot and Divebomb. The RPMs are rounded out with Highway Patrol Barricade, Enforcer Ironhide vs. Mixmaster, a new deco of Bumblebee, Optimus Prime vs. Desert Long Haul (perhaps the new name for the Voyager repaint as well?) and Soundwave. The miscellaneous categories of Gravity Bots now have the additions of Battle Steel Optimus Prime and Nitro Sideswipe, while Battle Chargers have the addition of Cyber Armor Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Most notable are Recon Ravage, Divebomb, and RPM Soundwave as we have yet to see either on card. You can check them out below.....

Deluxe Recon Ravage

Light slides off Ravage the way a duck's feathers shed water. Even in the brightest light, he is nothing more than a shadow, slinking unnoticed toward his prey. He is the ultimate infiltrator, absolutely silent, endlessly patient, but savage and lethal when the mission calls for it. No creature in the galaxy is better suited to be a thief and spy, which is just fine with Ravage. He takes delight in working in the darkness for the glory of Megatron.

Scout Divebomb

Entranced with the romance and daring of ancient Decepticons living on Earth, Divebomb rescanned his vehicle mode to mimic one of the most famous of those old warriors. Unfortunately, paired with Skystalker to fight an Autobot antiaircraft specialist, he's quickly learning the limitations of his new form.

RPM Soundwave

From his unreachable orbital perch, Soundwave looks down on Earth. Information flows through him, being processed and sorted at an unbelievable rate. His is the power that coordinates the Decepticon war machine, and ensures an eventual victory for Megatron.

Los Angeles Times managed to get hold of Michael Bay, the Director of Transformers Live Action Movies, as well as his Sound crew to talk about sound mixing, sound editing for the Transformers Revenge of The Fallen.

Michael gave some hints on the upcoming third installment of the movie during the interview:

"Although the number of robots increased significantly from the first film for the second, the third film -- which will hit theaters this summer, won’t be as robot-heavy and there will be fewer explosions, a tight-lipped Bay said after the Q+A.

“There will be a nice crescendo ending,” Bay said. “It gets much more into the robot character. The last time you kind of met a few of the robots; this time you’re gonna get a much cooler landscape.”

Avid Canadian Transformers collector Pascal has gotten his hands on a trio of Revenge of the Fallen figures that have yet to be released - Scout Skystalker, Deluxe Lockdown and Deluxe Ratchet. Take a look at some of his well thought out insight about each figure below...


Scout Skystalker
Pros:
-Combines with Mindwipe (nothing fancy, just pegs on top of him in jet mode)
-Well integrated hand weapons (part of the underside of the wings and the wings themselves). Can be hand held or clipped to the forearms

Cons:
-No rear landing gears
-Visible head in jet mode






Deluxe Ratchet
Pros:
-Cool weapon gimmick in robot mode: as you insert the weapon's post into the forearm, two little grey parts deploy automatically
-Good range of articulation

Cons:
-Too much junk hanging off the underside of the vehicle (barely clears the ground and visible from the sides and the rear)
-Hip kibble gets a bit in the way (but can be moved)




Deluxe Lockdown
Pros:
-Fantastic nod to Animated Lockdown, only movie-fied
-Transformation that is at the same time somewhat similar yet different to Animated Lockdown's

Cons:
-Rubber parts (right hand weapon, left hand, wheel spikes)
-Car mode doesn't really look like it belongs to the movie universe




....and if you want more, you can check out the rest of his review along with more pictures on the forums of Cybertron.ca!

Prior to the release of Revenge of the Fallen, we thought there was going to be two Lawson Exclusive 2-packs - Preview Bumblebee with Legends Mudflap, and Soundwave with Legends Fallen. Ultimately there is nothing in the records that state that this release has ever occurred, however Lawson has updated their online shop with the unreleased Legends figure. Mudflap looks to have a shiny finish, while the Fallen looks to have more paint applications than his Hasbro incarnation. Check it out below.




Mudflap can be pre-ordered here and the Fallen here.

And it was all yellow. They're lyrics to the breakout song from Coldplay's album 'Parachutes' and also describes what just happened to the Voyager Long Haul mold. From reliable Ebay seller TFCToy, our lean, mean, green dump truck machine is getting repainted into familiar colours. Devastator, along with his components, was repainted yellow in Generation 2. This Long Haul also comes with some slight weathering on the sides. Check it out below.





Only time will tell if this is a general release or to be packaged with something else in a box. You can check out the auction here.
