It looks like a cheap Chinese tonka toy rip off that cost 2 bucks... Im doubtful.

Well, it looks like it comes with a sword, and it's a tank, so they got a good start.

Could this possibly be a new Universe 3.0 mold :PRAY:

.

Probably not, but only time will tell till we see a bot mode.

From what I understand, the mold, while being in the movie line was actually more akin to classics... I forget who said it and where, but I thought some one said that this was basically a Classics Bludgeon. I will have to see the robot mode but if it is as cool looking as I hear Im sold...

Looks good so far

I say it's looking pretty awesome, and not very movie-like. If it is ROTF I think it's a Universe fig under the ROTF banner, which is fine by me. So far it's a must-buy.

Also Re: Orange - Doesn't Bludgeon have orange on his comic incarnations?

Not bad. Hope for more paint details in bot mode.

Posted by Megatron Wolf on July 22nd, 2009 @ 1:42pm CDT

I dont think this figure was intended to be in the ROTF line. Has to be a universe mold that they held off on. Either way its looking good so far. Hopefully we'll get to see more pics soon.

His Pretender shell has orange chest, shin and knee guards and feet.

His Inner robot tank mode is mostly green with a purple cannon.

I know it may be hard to do, but it would have been nice if they kept the orange hidden away in vehicle mode, and only visible in robot mode.

Could be a prototye so this pic may not represent the final colors. Look at the wheels. Some are green, some are grey, some are orange. I doubt that's how the final figure will look.

I saw this figure at Hasbro Panel at BotCon and it was spectacular. Though those are Hasbro images so they may have been photoshopped. BTW, the sword goes in the barrel of the tank. But from these images I'm worried. The handle(and entire sword) is a different color from the tank barrel AND the sword is bent! I'm hopping the person who stole this swiped it out of the reject pile. Bludgeon deserves better after all the lack-luster repaints.

Sweet, I was hoping we would get pics of him soon. Now we need to see ROTF Lockdown!!

I will def be getting Bludgeon and Lockdown and add them to my UNIVERSE line.

All I remember from Botcon was that Bludgeon and Lockdown were the best parts of the Hasbro panel...IMO.

Looks like a prototype.

I was looking forward to this.
But, his tank mode is a bit... odd.
I'm disapointed.
Hopefully a great robot mode will save this guy.

No offense, but you must have really low expectations if you can declare that "win, total win" based on that picture. All I see is a blurry tank, and that's no automatic win in my book.

Hmm...it does resemble a Universe figure IMO. I dont know about the sword but it looks like it has potential. I doubt it is a movie figure but ya never know...

He'll look close to a Classic though. I think they were going to use this mold in the classics line awhile back. But not sure if this was the mold they wanted. I just remember geeking out when the pics of this showed up. I think his skull face is more like...the Punisher logo as well. Not like an actual skull like he's known to have...but that was awhile ago.

I wanna see bot-mode pics. If he fits in with the classics/universe figs he is so mine. I dig the stubby lil tank. He has those rocket launchers on his turret side like movie Brawl....

I love tank altmodes, I love Voyager toys, I love skulls and I love all those little details like weapons we can see in that pic. I mean look at the sword, you can see that the bottom half is indeed the tank turret. And this will indeed be the first time a Bludgeon comes with a sword.
That in my book is win.

Excellent. Even a blurry picture like that makes me smile. I love the size of the sword that it comes with. Who cares if it has a little orange on it, it's not like any one put a big red stamp on the images saying "final product"

Remember Cyclonus? People hated his color scheme and non stopped complained about it until an official image was released.

Can't wait to see a bot mode. Too bad he's not a Mega Pretender. That would be even better!

Oh how we loved those promotional images but the final product looked just like the pics we complained about.

I'm starting to think that orange might be robot-mode parts, like chest and legs.

Hell, I don't mind the orange and green. I love TFU Galvy and Hasbro abused orange on that mold. I still love em. Can't wait to see robot mode images of this piece.

If he looks as cool as we expect, he'll easily win over my Classics Tank Megatron.

I hope his face resembles the style used in the IDW comics. no lower jaw with a bunch of cables instead.

Prehaps we're going to see a string of 'things we made for another line but it got cut for the movie line so we're releasing them as part of it instead!' just like we did for the first one.

They need to stretch the toy line out until the video is released and then christmas, after all.

Those repaints we saw of Universe 2.0 Silverbolt and Onslaught come to mind too.

Nope, the way it was said at Botcon, i'm pretty sure this was geared for the line. Although like you said, It's a bit odd for it to be placed in this RotF toyline... and we've already got a Bludgeon that came with Autobot Whirl in Masters of Metallikato Boxset.

Re: First Look at Transformers ROTF Voyager Bludgeon (960068)
Posted by Mkall on July 23rd, 2009 @ 1:20am CDT

methinks the purpose of the Bludgeon repaint was to hold on to the name for copyright reasons while they made a real figure.

I can't wait to see the robot mode. That sword is pure win.

Actually, he was just there to kill everything on Earth.

Did anyone mention how the sword is meant to slide into the turret and thereby extend the barrel of the cannon?

Because that was the most bad-ass part of the pic preview at BotCon.

Re: First Look at Transformers ROTF Voyager Bludgeon (960231)

I was referring more to their brief pursuit of Overrun BEFORE the killing everything part, but yeah, pretty much.

I don't like our chances, but it would look damn awesome if they did that. I'm pretty stoked he has a sword at least.
As long as he doesn't look movie-style in robot mode I'll be picking him up for sure.

Also, is it just me, or does it look like he has actual tank treads? Not just moulded treads like most tank-formers? If I'm right that would be damn awesome.

I did.

Lol I only just noticed but it looks like Blurr has a purple Autobot symbol in that cover.

Edit, dudes I just saw his promational pic of bot-mode and alt-mode shown at BotCon :shock:

and damn he can fit into ANY line and he's totally badass, his head looks kinda like a mixture of his G1 Pretender shell and his idw head.

And may I repeat myself:

Win, total WIN!

THIS JUST IN FROM TFW2005'S LIVE FEED:

Okay guys, I deserve a tiny bit of credit for this (unless someone posts first lol), but it mostly goes to TFW2005, obviously. XD

Here's the bot mode:

Pretty freakin' awesome if you ask me.

There's also a bunch of pics of other new figures, but I'll leave those to arrive via the normal channels. :mrgreen:

OK, Dead Metal, now that I've seen the robot mode - or more importantly, now that I've seen that he appears to be a samurai in robot mode - I agree with your initial assessment: pure win!

Oh, FINALLY a really cool looking Decepticon! All the nice TFs have been Autobots lately ... or at least the TFs I'm looking to buy,

I don't see what's so bad about the orange. He's supposed to be orange. Not much of it seems to show in tank mode. And he has swords. Finally.

Although I'm surprised they ddin't just reuse Cybertron Unicron (since he has a skull face and tank mode and all), I am very glad they didn't.

I agree with you full head, good buddy, but I love this new incarnation of Bludgeon, as I an a bit of a Bludgeon fan. It appears to be a mix between his inner robot and his Pretender shell, with the robot resembling his shell, and his vehicle mode his inner robot's vehicle mode. Cant wait till this guy hits shelves along with an awesome looking ROTF-ized Lockdown! :APPLAUSE:

I'm loving the design as well. I think the design is pretty cool with homaging the G1 Bludgeon in such a way. The accessories are pretty nifty too. It's about time a Bludgeon figure gets a proper sword.
