New pictures of upcoming ROTF toys

dirge looks cool

Hmm...

Gotta admit some of these look cool.

The only ones I'll be getting are Knock Out (who I can't find ANYWHERE), maybe Armorhide, and the new Legends Sideswipe.

Does Tuner Mudflap's design look familiar to anyone?

And that Nest Bumblebee's eyes are too big, he looks younger than I've ever seen him, except for Animated. Still, an overall good design.

Bludgeon, Dirge, and Breakdown will be mine!!!

The Star Convoy homage looks pretty neat.

Is it just me, or does Breakdown bear an odd resemblence(robot mode) to Energon Downshift?

I'll betcha that'll be the inevitable repaint.

Tuner Mudflap? Anyone care to explain...?

Gotta love Ejector! Need the toaster!

OMG! i want that repaint of landmine! and the scouts! and dirge! holy crap! cant wait for them!

Ironhide, Bludgeon, Dirdge, Soundwave, Sonar & Breakedown all look frakin awesome. Cant wait for those. The rest not so much. Well maybe cannon bumblebee since it has the missiles and battlemask.

More?
I'm gonna be poor after this.

so what's the release dates for these?

Well for me it would be Bludgeon, Legends wheelie for this batch only. Would have gotten the ironhide but I already have the ROTF version of it and will not spend extra $$ on the retool and repaint. I haven't gotten Ratchet yet so I hope he gets the same treatment as Ironhide and when that happens I'm gonna get him. Also waiting for HA Barricade, man I'm gonna be so broke..

no Flare-up/Moonracer yet? at least they have Bludgeon there (yay!) which by the way looks a bit like G1 Brawl. (redeco anyone?)

Wheelie is finally at the right "size" and i'm really gonna get Ironhide and "Canon Bumblebee"

I have to say Dirge is a must-get for me, and a whole lot of other figures on that page.

The Voyagers are nice, but I've got 3 versions of that Ironhide mold, while Bludgeon will be a very good addition, depending on how the figure turns out. Scouts are okay... although Rollbar doesn't need to look like a vasoline bottle.

Why does the Soundwave repaint have to come in a 2pack? I can't decide on whether this Soundwave is better than the eHobby one.

Bludgeon, Dirge, Armorhide, Sonar, Brakedown, N.E.S.T. Bumblebee(since I don't own ANY Bumblebee from any line, might as well get one that at least has a decent paint job), & J.A. Ironhide are definite gonna gets. I kind of like the Soundwave/Soundblaster but i've got the original and I think it looks better, just the shades and the flaming lowrider paintjob throw it off for me. Ejector is one of my favorite figures from the ROTF line, i'm so glad I was able to find him. If you don't have him, get him he's awesomeness in a toasty shell. I think that him, Ransack, & Scalpel(I know the legs have issues, but they can be fixed quite easily and without ruining value) are the best scouts so far released.

EDIT: I just noticed that Bludgeon looks very, very close to the way he looks in All Hail Megatron #16. BEAUTIFUL

Bludgeon? Yes.
Night Boat? Probably.
Armorhide? WTF colors yo?
Dirge looks pretty rad. Not for me to have, but still, he's cool looking.

The rest is completionist fodder.

Starting from the top...

Only legend I'm looking for is Warpath, Wheelie.. Meh..

Scouts, I have Ejector, wicked cool little bot. I have Knock Out as well.. have had him for a month, how is this new?

Tuner Mudflap... um.. no.. a thousand times no!! No interest in Soundwave. Dirge is pure Win!. If I didn't already have the mold from 07 that Landmine is I would so get this repaint.. Cannon BB AKA repaint #20? no thanks.

Voyagers: If I can find Bludgeon without having a bash a little kid, or god forbid, another collector in the head for it (though it would be oddly poetic.. ) I am all over this one.

That Soundwave sure has a lot of blue for it being a black repaint.

Lovin the Dirge figure, hope we get a Ramjet too ! Breakdown looks good but kinda too G1 to pass for a movie figure. Now we can all get the black Soundwave although we get stuck with another Bumblebee repaint in the process (LOL)

Oh yeah....am I the only one who thinks making a transformer resemble a an earth style Samauri is really stupid ???

I ask again, where are people seeing that this figure is a black version? It's blue, gold, red and black. I dub thee Rainbow Brite-wave.

And as for your second question, I think an Earth-style samurai is perfectly legit for a robot mode. Why couldn't religious, societal, and other patterns be seen on other planets? Couldn't life take on similar qualities to other life no matter where they are located?

Plus it looks cool.

Not sure if your joking or not, but....

This Bludgeon is a dream come true figure of many, many fans. I got into the comics with Dreamwave, so I missed Bludgeon's first appearance, and so I kind of really don't have the same affection for the character that some do. However, he's one of the few post G1 season 4 characters to get any kind of starring role. After all, look at all the stuff he did: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Bludgeon_%28G1%29

As for him looking like a Samurai, well that's cause he was originally a Pretender, and they had to have him have some sort of vaguely humanoid shell. But hey, this Mosaic makes the concept seem pretty cool: http://www.seibertron.com/comics/mosaics/view.php?mosaic_id=328&size=large

Seconded.

A Bludgeon figure is finally getting not only a sword/chokuto but gets a short blade/tanto as a bonus! This alone makes me want the figure but I also dig the design. I love tank alt modes too.

Srly, are Hasbro making any more Pretenders into the line? *crossesfingers

gotta admit, thats one cool alt mode.

but thats not what the back of my mudflap looks like..........

so thats a kinda new mold, whats i called a retool?

so the image isnt working....

but its of tuner mudflap, and i think he must be jealous of skids, so now he got gold.

It's kind of hard to tell what color it is with the general quality of the image.

I wish instead of Tuner Mudflap they would give us a G1 colored Skids, but oh well.

Dirge is awesome!!

Now THIS is a new version of Ironhide. I'm very impressed.

While the new Bludgeon is neat, he doesn't seem like he really belongs in the Movie-verse. His skull face is and styled breastplate is almost cartoony next to other characters who look like masses of robotic moving parts. I'm still getting him, but still.

Dirge is cool, and coneheaded!
