According to lastmaximal at Cybertron Phillipines he saw a red repainted Dropkick in the most recent issue of Previews.
He even snapped a picture of it from his cell phone. The quality is quite poor, but you can see Stealth Bumblebee and a red truck that seems to resemble Dropkick.
What is this unknown Transformers name? When will it be released? Autobot or Decepticon? Feel free to discuss it below!
We'll let you know if this is more than a rumor, when we find out more, in the Seibertron Movie News and the Seibertron Toy News.

This might be enough for me to change my mind but I want to see better pictures first.

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. Still, it's an interesting color for the mold. I wonder if a lime green Payload can be far behind...

Also, it DOES have "Allspark Power" cyan, though it looks a lot better on him than it does on any of the others.

I also stopped by my shop and flipped through the Previews issue on the rack and found the red repaint. I guess we can file this under "coming soon" as opposed to rumor. They also had a pick of the "reverse colored" Concept Bumblebee..it looks like it has the battle helmet down in the face mold.

And c'mon... not too exciting here. Just another Teal-covered Allspark repaint.

I know he’s already been repainted into Camshaft, but I want a Swindle that is an green Autobot with a head similar to that of Dropkick’s so that way its like the one in the game.
Hasbro really missed an opportunity to actually have an repaint for the movie line that actually appears in something (and in Autobot Swindle's case he appears in the game.).

It's one of the better movie molds - easy transformation, several possible 'looks' for the 'bot...

IF they're gonna repaint Dropkick (an awesome Decepticon figure), they should at least remould the head into another face, remould the legs and feet to make it bend the right way, and remould the bed cover so that it's not a giant pliers. These 3 modification is a must to make him look like an Autobot.
But as usual, Hasbro will take the easy way of simple recolor. That's it.

Actually he already had an Autobot head that should have been another camera head if it was to be accurate to the game.

Then reprolabels could make pink flames and a "pu**y wagon" logo.

He is red when your playing the Decepticon campaign and he is purple when you play the Autobot campaign.

Auto Bot wrote:No names for either of them in the game?
They’re both Dropkick in the game. One is Autobot Dropkick and the other Decepticon Dropkick.
BTW I forgot to mention Decepticon Dropkick has a camera head in the game, but they gave the toy the Autobot head that the Autobot drones had in the game (Autobot Swindle, Dropkick, Payload and Dreadwing have the same head).

That's cool. They should have given Swindle a head too. That's the only thing stopping from buying that figure.

Dropkick is great, good articulation, fun transformation, overall worth ten dollars.
As for the TF game, I was just playing it a second ago, pretty fun in my opinion, plus its getting cheaper (only thirty dollars for PS2).

About landmine how well articulated would you say he is in comparison to classics mirage(if you have him)?

I have both.
Both are extremely posable. Far more posable than any other TF toy i ever encountered.
I'd say, Landmine has the edge.
The hunchback of Mirage makes his head movement quite limited. Landmine don't have this kind of problem.
Aside from that, Landmine's proportions, movements, and posability are more human-like. As if, it's a human figure wearing a metal costume with a football helmet.
And here's the winning edge. Landmine has grasping hands!

Thanks! Hopefully now that the Christmas rush is said and done I’ll be able to find one for myself.
