Wasn't ROTF Bludgeon originally conceived for the Unicron trilogy, then moved for 2009's universe for a G1 Bludgeon?

Artist Don Figueroa submitted a concept for a Unicron Trilogy Bludgeon toy way back during the development of the Energon or Cybertron toylines. Obviously, the concept wasn't put into production as a toy at the time, so Figueroa used it as inspiration for his IDW Publishing Stormbringer rendition of Generation 1 Bludgeon. However, Hasbro evidently resurrected the concept for the Universe (as mentioned by Hasbro at BotCon 2009) and then the Revenge of the Fallen lines, where it was finally released as that universe's Bludgeon. Figueroa notes that his contribution on this toy is very small, as his work on it ended when he submitted the concept to Hasbro way back when.

A G1 toy as a G1 character... So?

They ordinarily take the Classics/Generations designs for this stuff, with the occasional movie design. I don't recall the last time they used an MP.

Are we certain that it's specifically the MP design and not just a design based on G1 Sideswipe in general?

Optimus's Legends designs look like they could be either MP Convoy or a general G1 Optimus design.

Sabrblade wrote:The chest hood looks more like the scrunched-up flat G1 cartoon design chest hood rather than the spread out flat MP chest hood to me.

It could just be a general design that draws inspiration from the MP as well as from the basic G1 Sideswipe look ordinarily.

WHEN SPARKS FLY" A BEAST WARS EVENT IS NOW LIVE!

Racing to a volatile crash site in the wilderness, the Maximal Silverbolt is astonished to discover a pod marked only with an “X” at the crater’s epicenter. Still unsure of what the pod contains, the villainous Predacons attack Silverbolt, trying to steel the pod! Leading the charge, Predacons Blackarachnia, Waspinator and Terrorsaur overpower the noble Maximal, but Silverbolt will go down fighting!

Terrorsaur accidentally breaks the pod open during the battle and its contents are let loose—the abomination called Rampage, a mish-mash of scientific monstrosity created to destroy and devour its enemies—and Rampage thinks EVERYONE is his enemy!

The bombastic battle knocks Silverbolt and Blackarachnia into a swamp where they are forced to rely on each other to survive. At first, bitter enemies, Silverbolt’s chivalrous attitude slowly wins over Blackarachnia’s acidic personality. The two survive and rejoin the melee, only to discover that while on opposite sides of the battle line, the two have more in common than either would have dared believe.

The skirmish with Rampage is joined by Depthcharge, a fierce Maximal who recognized the crashed pod for what it was, the prison holding Rampage! Blaming Rampage for the slaughter of dozens of his friends, Depthcharge is out for revenge!

The war between Autobots and Decepticons has ravaged the ground and burned the skies! Now it plunges into the dark and deadly depths of the oceans!

A massive storm forces the evacuation of several oil platforms off the coast. Waverider and Seaspray are on hand to aid the humans above the ocean. With chaos spreading on the ocean’s surface, the real danger lies beneath as Nautilator and the Seacons make their way towards the abundant supplies of oil.

Seaspray realized the Decepticons are likely to use the cover of the storm to get at the rigs, and is about to investigate when, like a shark shooting towards its unsuspecting prey, the Seacons breach the surface of the ocean and attack him! With the raging weather above them and the Seaconsbeneath, the Autobots are cut off and unable to call for reinforcements. Will Waverider and Seaspray weather the storm above and below the ocean? Find out in TRANSFORMERS Legends: DEADLY DEPTHS!

Megatron seeks a quick victory as the Decepticons breach the Autobot city of Iacon. The invasion seems to be leading to total domination until Metroplex, a city-sized behemoth, emerges from beneath the surface to defend Iacon or die trying.
