New Images of PCC Mudslinger with Destructicons, Movie Elita-1 and Muddy Mudflap Repaint

Wow, they all look really...bad...

Yup. I just tasted what I ate earlier in the day. What a waste of plastic.

Looks like somone took a paintscraper to that Mudflap.

Wow, those are ugly.. I though Elita-1 was originally supposed to be all black? Im still hoping the third bike is Flare-Up with a new mold.

Wow...that PCC may be the single most mis-transformed figure I've ever seen. Mudflap? Yuck. That's just not good. ELita 1...aren't those the same colors as the scout class figure from the first movie??

Ugh, disgusting, all of them!

fugly

This is bad and you should feel bad.

Elita-1 is supposed to combine with the others, right? Or maybe Hasbro will release Flare-up with a new mold.

Sooo, despite all the claims of racism, Skids and Mudflap are apparently selling well enough to merit more repaints.
All the mistransformations make it impossible to properly judge these figures yet, but I dislike how 'neon' Mudslinger is compared to his drones.

Nope, the image we had before had hints of reddish/brown right where the final product has them.

I'm kinda surprised no one expected Elita-1 to be a repaint, actually, combiner or not.

Elita-1 is the 3rd sister. Flare-Up was a name that was randomly thrown out there 1 and a half years ago, it's most likely not coming

Personally I hope this is the last we'll see of this mold/figure theme

Thanks for the info.

Not sure if it's just the photos but based on what I see here, these are awful looking.

Elita-1 looks o.k. I guess, but she's supposed to be purple isn't she? Like, what happened?

I'm starting to think that Hasbro went 'they didn't combine in the movie, so lets forget that and just recolor one of the others so fans can have their third motorcycle, no one will care'.

I just want Mudslinger because Decepticons as a 'monster' truck amuse me (Even if they're never in scale, poor Dirt Boss).

No one gives a **** about Mudflap or Skidz, and that repaint looks more like a paint removal to boot. Bleh.

I'm also amused at all these old unused names we're seeing crop up again. Mudslinger, Bombshock. Dropshot and Treadbolt in Universe/Universe2. It's like someone at Hasbro went back to the 80s, looked through the micromaster lists, and picked out some of the cooler sounding names.

Of course that's also how they got Barricade and Blackout for the movie. <.<;

NO!

The PCC may look cool when transformerd correctly, but the others are a waste of plastic

Hey kids it's chopshop Mudflap! get yours before it's completely stripped!

Am i the only one who want to see the robot mode of mudflap ? I absolutely love this mold and while the first repaint of mudflap (can't remember his name) was ugly with all this gold, this one interests me.

I kinda like that Mudflap.
It's a neat concept.

Y'know what it looks like to me?
It's like, "Oh Sh*t, I Killed a Guy Mudflap."

Me too, that CAN'T be the same sister from the movie. It doesn't even have to be a new mold, they could slightly retool Arcee and it would work. Hopefully we'll get it for the next movie's toyline.

Mudflap = ugh, as usual. Really, I was always hoping for cycle sister #3 to be a new mold. Ah heck, I've completely stopped caring about the hidden combination.

Definitely getting the StunticDestructicons!

Wow, that Mudflap repaint is so great. I like that I can get it early too, Not by buying it anywhere, I can just take an existing Mudflap and shove it up my arse.

Wow so i guess im the only one who likes Elitas alt mode then, i still hate the robot mode but the Bike colors are pretty cool. If walmart still has ROTF figures for $9 when she comes out ill probably get her just for the bike mode. Mudslinger i might also buy since for some reason i loved the G1 figure when i was a kid. Mudflap is and always will be a pass. Only way id accept one is if some one said "heres a free figure" and handed it to me. It would then just be thrown in my closet since i dont want to look at it but i wont turn down a free TF. Even if it is a POS figure like that. What i dont get is that mudflap already has 2 versions and both are packing the shelves alongside wheelie so why is there a 3rd?

Hmph, well if this the third and final sister they give us, I'll just use the Arcee from the 2007 movie line as my third sister.

Well I was looking at the picture that was released a few days ago showing Elita-1 with the rest of Wave 2 including Tuner Skids, and when I look at Elita-1 she look like she had a different weapon arm than Chromia, I mean you can easily tell its not Chromia's weapon arm. So maybe this Elita-1 figure is just an early prototype. No matter what Ill pick up Elita-1 plus this Mudflap, because this is the fist year that I want to try to get every single new item that comes out.

If you use the 2007 Arcee, they won't combine. Part of the reason we all bought these figures was for the combination of the three. It just seems kinda pointless to have two pieces of the puzzle and not even try for the third.

And he's right. We knew this was a repaint for a good long while now.

That's just your mind playing a trick on you. Seeing what you want to see, but the fact of the matter is, it's just a straight repaint, and what you see in these pictures here is what you're going to get. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

The combined form is Arcee, and two Chromia molds. One being the original blue Chromia, and now this pink, silver, and black Elita-1 repaint of the mold. Simple as that. No mold modifications, no new head, no new weapon.

Sucks, but it's true.

Welcome to the site!

Unless you're making some pretty steady cash, my advise to you is don't collect everything just because it's a Transformer. It will only lead to regrets down the road.

Concortedly.
Just buy the figures you want, not all of them.

Oh, and uhh... welcome, I guess.

Thanks for welcoming me to the site everyone. I've been using this site for a few years now. so I decide I want to join this awesome place. I been collecting transformers since the Beast Wars and I keep most of my Transformers in their package prison. Now about this Elita-1 photo that showed up a few days ago. I stared at thing for five minutes and even tried to make it a little clearer, and I swear that weapon arm is different than Chromia's. well back to staring at it again.

Great, another Mudflap repaint. Why bother releasing this when the previous two uses of the mold are still clogging pegs nation-wide? Mudflap/Tuner Mudflap make up a good 75% of the entire ROTF stock left in just about every store in my area. Most stores are clearing out their inventory to make room for the Generations/PCC/HFTD wave due out later this summer, but I still can't bring myself to purchase a Mudflap, even at clearance prices.

Yeah, i see your point. But, the fact that the third sister is just a Chromia repaint and we haven't seen a decent combined picture of the bikes tells me that this isn't going to be anything amazing. I mean at least 2007 Arcee is purple..
