CrossSell seems to be the White or Tan Barricade repaint. Second one from the Right.
I like Dropkick. The Pickup truck mode looks cool. Some kind of tricked out GMC truck.
From the others, I'm absolutely getting Bumblebee. not sure about Jazz. The one with the red gun looks intriguing. And The first one on the right side, looks...well...he looks round, circular. I have no idea what it could be.

Has anyone noticed the giant Decepticon logo paint job on his hood/roof?

the one on the far right looks like a blue repaint of swindle to me, but maybe its new, I dunno

I believe we've already seen that one, Its called towline if I'm correct.
So the back of the packaging is:
2007 Bumble bee
Towline
Jazz
Crossell
and what appears to be a recolour of Swindle.
Edit: My bad, I seem to have confused Towline for Longarm

When Hasbro places pictures of other product on their packaging (like the row of bots on the bottom of the card) they refer to this form of advertising as a "cross sell."
Also if you translate some of the ACtoys thread you see that they refer to the new bot (Barricade repaint) as being in the "cross-sell" or in that bottom row of deluxes.
Although I could be wrong, I highly doubt that the name of the Barricade repaint is cross sell, croscell or any other variation.
Also: the deluxe pictured next to the Barricade repaint is Payload the Armored truck.

Glad to see that the Barricade redeco stays a Decepticon. Wonder who that other 'con is on the far right.
Loving all these movie toys, and hoping for more piucs of the Barricade redeco and the mystery 'con.

"Cross Sell" is a term used for the advertising of other figures. It's not the name of a character. Here's Wikipedia's listing for a Cross Sell: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_selling
The other figues you see listed on the packaging are what's known as a cross sell.
Anywho...
From left to right:
'09 Bumblebee, Longarm, Final Battle Jazz, "Final Battle"(?) Barricade, Payload.
FBJ, Payload, and Longarm can be seen in greater detail here:
http://tformers.com/transformers-databa ... itemid=241
EDIT: I used a translator on the post about Dropkick, looks like in the cross sell, it's just Barricade again. It didn't actually say it was, but it looks to be Final Battle Barricade, like Final Battle Jazz. If I'm seeing this correctly, looks like he might be sporting Prowl colors.

They weren't outnumbered if you counted the constructicon repaints

Ya he's video game character all right. Iy says so on the top of the box, but the glare cuts alot of it off.
I like the looks of this one. Seems most of the non-movie figures are the better of the bunch. Exceptions include swindle and dreadwing. Both are so garbage.

That's what I like the most too. I like the Cybertron and Titanium ones too, but these are my new faves tied with the Classics line (which I HOPE they continue along with Alternators).

Thank you! I'm sort of embarrased at how many people didn't catch onto that, it's porbably just a mistranslation from the Asian boards.
Dropkick is cool though, anyone notice the all the decals on the entire hood and roof of the truck form a giant Decepticon symbol?
Wicked, eh?

Okay, FOUR OF US HAVE POINTED THIS OUT NOW! CrossSell is NOT one of the guys on the cardback! CrossSell is the name for the "Also Available" section! THE CHEAT IS BEHIND THE FREAKIN' BOX! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR DOGS!

Toys I know are coming out are Arcee, Dreadwing, Payload, Final Battle Jazz, Final Battle Barricade, Longarm, Dropkick, and a different Bumblebee. It would cool if they make toys for all the charaters from the cards and video game. Does anyone know if there doing that? Other charcters in card game include, Cliffjumper, Evac, Jetfire, Mirage, Smokescreen, Swerve, Thundercracker, Protoform Bumblebee, Protoform Starscream. They can all be seen here http://wizards.com/transformers/
what is Mirage supposed to be? Same question for Smokescreen. The more movie-inspired toy goodness, the better. Hopefully not just Deluxe, but in Voyagers too. This is great!!!

Heh, well, I have to admit, I was sorely tempted to leave a slightly scathing response to the lack of sensibility that came out of those posts. Hell I had even posted it, but then thought better of it. No point in hurting someone's feelings, getting in trouble, causing a flame war in a relatively calm thread.
And damn Hasbro (and Activision). Damn them both for making figures I'm starting to want. I almost caved and bought Swindle...and I promised myself...nothing but the cast only.
...and wouldn't you know it? Dropkick, Longarm, Payload, Swindle...all look nice. Really, really nice.
Grr...CURSES! FOILED AGAIN!

also DropKicks bio.
DK didnt want to come to earth, but Meg. made him. He'd rather stay home on Cyb. in the dark being angry, but Meg. has hime hauling materials all over this lame planet. He doesnt even know why the Allspark is so important of why the Autobots need to be getting in his way all the time. He just wishes everyone would leave him alone. Still, while he's here, he might as well blow stuff up. Thats always fun.
Sounds like a teenager!

Huh? He's a customized Chevy Silverado pickup truck. The bottom of the card where they label the licensing isn't seen (it would be below the names of the "Also Available" characters").

Don't think so. If it was licenced, there would be a logo on the grille, 'pickup mode' would say '(name of truck) mode,' and there would be the manufacturer's logo on the card in the gap between the robot mode an the cosells.
