First ROTF Scout Repaint - Reverb!

first comment!!! and looks like one of those few good reapints in the line, i guess they ade him since they never made him in the first movie line from Targets

*is deeply amused* i actually think its sorta annoying (humorous, but anoying) that hasbro is so blatantly showing us just how much they love money.

HEY we made 2 of the same toy!
gotta buy them both



i love his character description but i think im going to stick with the original paint job and skip this one over.

I don't think I saw the pics for the original version, but I like the Smokescreen motif.

I do have one question, though.

How can it be a movie motorcycle bot without having a unicycle foot and the exploded T-1000 torso?

Don't they realize things that don't look like other things are scary and confusing?

you make a good point but Transformers the movie franchise i guess they made to reboot or evolve the franchise to something that we dreamed upon, cheesy to say but the way thier more humanoid than machine i like it, and some of the movie characters r personally in my opinion have some of the best designs of that character or franchise

I'm kinda liking this captin america/evil kaneviel paint job

I was hoping it was one of those canceled Energon repaints...

Looks like something Super Dave would ride.

Bah, these Scout bios are just lacking in... personality.

I was hoping it was an Energon scout

now that you mention it, it is rather weird that there's a motorcycle that dosnt fit the pattern.
still i like the mold enough to pick it up. and im glad that they did leave one out of the pattern since most of us (at least me and my friends) HATE the monowheel thing that Bay has done with arcee

(ive been looking for a good motorcycle mold ever since i missed out on the arcee model from the first movie and i think this will fit in nicely enough)

The toys arent even out yet and already hasbro is throwing alot of repaint our way. This is one of those good one though. This paint just screams gobots. And for that reason im going to pick this one up. And its one of those few movie figure molds that actually looks like a TF. Does this have any kind of remold compared to the original?

"Still not wrinkled" Hell yeah Super Dave.

Before we get a chance to BUY it? Never mind that, I've never even SEEN this mold before. I think I'll buy it if a get the chance, it looks good.

Hey nice! This is almost exactly what I wanted. Just paint over the blue with black and it'll be perfect. I'll be picking this one up.

I'm a sucker for bike-bots and will be getting any and all repaints of this guy.

The wacky looking "Roadkill Arcee", however .... probably not.

Hmm, his description seems familiar... where have I seen it before?

Hmm...an original character with a fun personality and a cool colour scheme. Well played, Hasbro. Wonder why they're keeping the copyright on Reverb though, surely there are other, more vital names...

Reverb is what Deadpool would be as a Decepticon.

Reverb is the Renegade Gobot Dart.

i do not see the big deal, reverb is just the scout figure that was never released from the first movie.

we will most likely see the other 2 scouts that were not released also in this line.

It's a repaint of Knock-Out:

That Reverb isn't the one that just leaked. This is a new one. I'm still hoping we get the first movie Reverb somehow, but now it seems we have a SECOND guy named Reverb in the movie continuity.

Dude, you brought a Go-Bot picture onto the site???...EEEEWWWWWWW!!

I have to agree that this does look like an Evil Knievel bike. Therefore I propose, as a tribute, that we launch this abomination into the most remote part of the Grand Canyon, preferably on fire and definitely without a parachute.

The fact that we already have a repaint before anyone has gotten their hands on the first one is practcally an insult and to add to it Hasbro is rehashing an already used name yet again. They didn't even wait for small children to be able to forget where this characters name was last used, which strikes me as being insulting to the target demographic of these toys. This crap isn't just uninspired, it's blatantly lazy and rude on Hasbro's part. They don't even give a rat's ass what the kids think anymore they just want mommy and daddys wallet. Where's the button with the Smiley holding up it's middle finger? I want to send Hasbro a messge.

What's wrong with homaging Gobots? Movie Fracture was a great repaint.

Let's not get excessively bitchy about repainting toys. It's unreasonable to think Hasbro will only release each mold once. I think any reasonable person knew all the scouts would get at least one redeco each. It's normal. We have no idea when this toy will be released. It's just a picture of a stolen toy, and it ain't half bad as a toy. I wish it had a Decepticon logo on the chest.

Looks like some one made a KO of the original and Hasbro liked so they stole the idea and made a new(Not reall) toy.

What the heck is wrong with a red, white and blue motorcycle? Maybe he scanned something at a parade or stunt show. Seriously, my wife and I complained about this in the parking lot the other day... people have no taste for color in their cars. All you see in the parking lot is black, white, off white, beige, grey, black, gray... where did the freaking color go? How horribly boring.

Nothing like a socio-psychopath to lighten up a Decepticon party. His profile almost reads like the old Army/Marines saying, "Join the Army/Marines. Visit distant lands. Meet interesting and exotic people. And, kill them."

Bwaha ha ha ha. Thank you for that. I'll fall asleep laughing tonight!

Dodge is hording it all for the 2010 Tributes to American Muscle...the Challenger, the Charger, the Daytona, the Dart...no, wait...scratch that last one.
Seriously though, I have noticed the trend. I do cabinet finishing and customing painting of all types so I notice this sort of stuff when I'm out and about and when in clients homes. It is just a trend for the most part and eventually something new will come along. Myself, I do all black nearly all the time and I don't see that changing anytime soon but that is just my own personal style and preference. (I certainly don't let it influence my work style and I never steer a customer towrds using black/dark tones unless they bring up the idea first.)

I don't mind Reverbs color but it does tweak my brain that the colors of this guy and his counterpart seem reversed considering their factions. And both kind of pull my mind in the direction of Cybertron Ransack and Ransack GTS.

As soon as I saw this, I thought of that Gobot Dart. I just couldn't remember his name. My best friend had him when I was a kid. One of the cooler Gobots.

I do like that bio.

On a side note, I can forgive Arcee's unicycle botmode. It doesn't seem too bad on a smaller TF but that giant Constructicon? NEVERRR! (he said in his best Animated WASP impersonation)

I actually do like to see repaints before the originals come out. It lets me pick the better one first. I'm still bitter about Cybertron Galvatron, I get Megatron then they make the same figure in the most awesome repaint ever. Had I seen Galvatron before buying Megatron I wouldn't need as much therapy today.

Ah, someone like me, who thinks the repaints are often better than the original! Most of my Cybertron collection is repaints.

And I'll probably buy both of these figures, since I like motorcycles and plan to buy a lot of the ROTF Scouts.
