Exclusive TRU Movie Voyager Class figures
This assortment of 2 Voyager-scale TRANSFORERS action figures will be available in late May early June.
INFERNO - INFERNO’s name and deco are taken from the G1 character of the same name and Movie RATCHET’s red and white pre-production color scheme. G1 Micromaster Tote—a red and gray van—was another influence in initial color selection.
MUDFLAP - This MUDFLAP concept began with the name SAWTOOTH and an abandoned redeco color scheme from the TRANSFORMERS: CYBERTRON line. The name was unfortunately unavailable, and the concept colors weren’t convincingly realistic for a modern construction vehicle. Although a DECEPTICON, the inspiration for his construction-yellow and bone-white colors came from the G1 Micromaster AUTOBOT crane Erector.

That's unexpected. Never thought I'd see an Armada mold get repainted for the movie line.
However the color scheme is quite fitting. Even though I already own Armada Red Alert. I think i'll pick this up.
As for Mudflap, he's so going into my classics collection as Erector.
Loving the yellow, too bad he's a decepticon. A couple of reprolables can fix that though.
but yes I agree, he's Classics Micromaster Erector totally.

I wouldn't have expected a repaint of Armada Red Alert. When are these coming out, Ryan? I've got Red Alert, but I'd buy this deco. What are they gonna call Longarm, though? (Or are they even gonna bother renaming the mini-con?)
Mudflap, though...I passed to begin with. Wasn't a bad mold, but if I couldn't be bothered with buying him back then, why should I now?

Man, that was really unexpected but I'm really happy! I'm sure most of oyu who have paid attention to my posts will know how much I regret not collecting during the Unicron trilogy, but now I can get some of these repainted molds! And Mudflap is one of the Cybertron molds I've really wanted. Can't wait! Inferno has always been a favorite of mine since I got his G2 version many a year ago and I will be sure to get these two when I see them.

Very happy about Inferno, The A Red Alert mold is one of the Armada molds I really like the look of, and I have never managed to lay my hands on a version of it thus far.
Mudflap... love the mold, hate the colourscheme... that yellow realyl dosnt suite him.

oh good, more repaints of molds I thought were ugly the first time they came out...
and this is a perfect example of why I hate mini-cons: the little truck with Inferno should be the same size as Mudflap! why couldn't they choose objects that would at least be about the right size...

I already have Armada Red Alert, but I'll nab this repaint in a heartbeat if he gets released out here.
The Mudflap repaint isn't terrible, but I prefer the original. I cant seem to spot any Decepticon symbols on him anywhere, can anyone else?

On the top right of the vehicle mode where his left arm is there's a gray Decepticon symbol.
I love the repaints personally. Its kind of like for the people who just missed out the first time around or for the people who want to collect as many as they can.
I also think that since the names Inferno and Mudflap are being used for the first movie figures it cuts the chance of TFmovie2 having characters with those names.

When I clicked on the title, I was expecting to see Mudflap in Inferno's colors. I like the G1 influenced though. I think Mudflap is supposed to be Hauler, except he's a Decepticon. I may get them as semi-Classics.

Mudflap reminds me of Grapple somewhat, I just wish he was repainted into Hook instead. I already have Red Alert and Mudflap, so I'll pass, but my Red alert has something to say:"INFERNO WANTS MY SHELF SPACE!"

Given that I collect that mold, I'll be all over this guy like white on rice. Color scheme ain't half bad either.

As far as I know, repaints don’t take the place of new molds usually. With repaints, you either get them or don’t get anything, because Hasbro isn’t paying much at all to make them. A new mold cost a lot to make, but repaints hardly cost anything, that’s why they make so many.

The Movie line is strange, mixing toys from different lines, endless repaints, and so on... Fortunately, I don't collect Movie Transformers. Poor completists on this line 
. What's next? A G1 or Beast Wars repaint for the movie line? 
But don't take me wrong though, I like many from this line, mainly leader class Optimus Prime.

I agree. It's like Overcracker said though; why would they go to the trouble of naming the little guy? Besides...I'm pretty sure duplicate names have been done without one of the figures being a repaint or "reformat" of the other character.

Besides Kup, BM's deluxe Jetstorm is my favorite figure, and as repetitive as repaints get, it's been a few years since they hit that one up for a repaint. Not that I'm trying to put any ideas into anyones heads. (If I was, I'd push harder for headmasters.)
And I'd still pass on Mudflap. I mean...good for those who missed him, but like I said to begin with: If I couldn't be bothered to begin with, why am I gonna be bothered now?

Damn, I was so excited to see this thread title...
And of course they're freakin' repaints.
Imo, the bot modes are WEAK...
"Inferno's" arms, legs, and head look stupid.
"Mudflaps" whole bot look appears to have been designed by a 4th grader...
I'm getting Premium Jazz, Deep Space Starscream, and then I'm never looking back at the Movie line.
(unless I decide to go back for seconds with a few I already own.
But if Animated comes out early, that ain't gonna happen).

Argh...I'm torn. This Mudflap repaint is sooooo close to being a great G1 Grapple. I have a Cyb Mudflap waiting to be repainted to be Grap, but now I am debating. Buy this one, accept that it's yellow instead of orange, and repaint the head black - or stick to my original plan. Hmmm, decisions, decisions, decisions.

Mudflap's crane mold wasn't exactly the most stable mold (with problems connecting the arms and legs together with the crane head and driver's compartment).
I'd get him and replace the old Mudflap... Only to give him the Autobot insignias and partner him with Longarm. He reminds me of G1's Grapple.

I gotta say this again. I think Mudflap looks more like Hauler than Grapple. Sure he was only in the first of G1 episode for like 5 seconds and the only toy of him every made was that color blind green E-Hobby repaint from a few years ago. But damb it, he's yellow! In the show he was a yellow crane, not green, YELLOW! Grapple is orange. Inferno is red. Artfire is red and white. And Hauler is yellow.
Not to nit pic.

Having grown up around heavy equipment, I'll buy Mudflap just on general principle but I didn't like the Red Alert mold the first few times around and it just isn't getting any better no matter what color it's painted. The arms and legs just are not in proper proportion to the chest. Can't stand to have a Transformer that reminds me of an ex-girlfriend. (Yeah, I know, I'm crass but at least I own up to it)

Meh, I hate armarda so I'll pass on Inferno but I may get Mudflap.
Strange they are reusing the mold's name like that, I would have liked him done in yellowy-orange with black stripes, silver trim and named Grapple

Didn't they do that with Wing Saber too? I think some of the Target basics used the original names too.

For obvious reasons, I can see why they didnt officially name this mudflap repaint Erector, but the original Erector was awesome and I will be reprolabeling mudflap as Classics Erector and displaying him as such.
As for Inferno, sorry, but not a firetruck = not inferno.
Energon inferno is still a better candidate as a classics standin.

This was unexpected. The Red Alert repaint looks nice though.

Like the Inferno/Red Alert but like the original Mudflap color scheme better. Maybe the yellow will grow on me or i'll just rename him Grapple or Hauler!

Inferno looks cool. I like his colors. But I'll pass on Mudflap. Not pretty at all.
