I think we should list off all the mottoes from the new Alt bubble-style boxes. It would also be fun to speculate on what the new mottoes for other characters would be, either serious or funny. Since pics of Shockblast in the new packaging have surfaced, I'm including him in the Coming Soon section too. For the most part, the characters are from G1 and would make sense as some kind of car/truck/van, but feel free to speculate further. I also took inspiration or outright copy-pasted from their G1 mottoes as well. All mottoes listed are from G1 (according to TFU.info) unless otherwise noted. Have fun! Released (BT included): Smokescreen: "You won't see me, but you might feel me pass you by." (modified from G1) Sideswipe/Lambor: "I don't break the rules, I bend them... a lot."

Brawn: "Might over microchips." Huffer: "Do we really have to fight? Can't we all just get along?" (my own) Hoist: "You have to be rolling before you can be fighting."

Soundwave: "Cries and screams are music to my ears." Rumble: "Destroy what's below and what's above will follow." Motormaster: "These wheels are made for crushing." Breakdown: "Keep your optical sensors to yourself." Wildrider: "Either you're out of my way or you're out of luck." Runabout: "A pretty car makes an even prettier wreck." Runamuck: "The road is my playpen, cars are my toys."
Rollbar has a motto already. "Front wheel drive is for sissies." I think Primeis and should be "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings"
Didn't know about Rollbar's new Alt motto. I also changed up Prime's to make it a little more hip, ala the new Alt mottoes. Edit: I fixed Rollbar's motto above.
I think if they were gonna give the alts mottoes, it should have been done from the start. Adding them now just seems a bit cheesy to me.
lol Jetbrawn Thought up a quickie alternate for Swindle along the same vein: "I'm still here.... Anyone?.... I'm not that bad a toy..... Hello......"
Say, does anyone have a photo of the bubble-package Tracks motto handy? I got Tracks the first time around, so that's the only package motto I won't have a copy of.
It's a direct quote from the G1 tech spec according to TFU.info I'm gonna see if I can come up with something better when I have some more time to think of mottoes. Ah hell, off the top of my head: "You'll never see me coming."
Ricochet's motto should be edited since it has an "official" one... "If I don't catch you, my missiles will."
Thanks Dragstrip85. I edited Ricochet's motto, but it doesn't make any sense because I see no missiles on Ricochet. Too bad they didn't include launchers with him to make him a little different from the other Subarus. Also did some touching up of the initial post. Hope that makes things clearer for everyone.
Hmm...I was wondering about the missiles in his quote too... I'd figured it would be a surprise by Hasbro to include "overstock" BT Smokescreen GT missiles onto this figure's packaging but after seeing many testshots and official shots of Ricochet which didn't include anything new, that thought was scrapped.
