From time to time, Hasbro likes to update their Transformers website. Sometimes they do it without telling anyone. They also forget that there are those who have nothing better to do on Monday nights and decide to browse instruction sheets. And because it’s so obvious, no one ever bothers to really dig through them (remember those cancelled Halloween exclusives? Revealed via instructions!).
But some people do – like AsswhompSupreme of our TFW2005 Boards! (yes, that’s actually his username)
Check out these Transformers Revenge of the Fallen scout repaints, apparently “VERSUS PACKS” (though, since these are in black and white, you can’t really tell what they’re being repainted as … except for cool words like SWAT! and all that). Introducing Blue Maximus, Crosshairs, Drydock, and Undertow!
This Transformers fan hopes Blue Maximus is followed by Red Maximus, Yellow Maximus, Green Maximus, Purple Maximus, and Orange Maximus, to form Rainbow Maximus. He can fight Nexus Prime, or something.
NOTE: There is no “Red/Yellow/Green/Purple/Orange” Maximus figures currently planned as far as anyone knows.

Where are they?! No sign of them at Wal-Mart as black friday exclusives (or anywhere else)!

Same here more or less, I need the Shortround mold simply because I HAVE to try out that toilet mode.
That, and HFTD Seaspray needs a rival hovercraft to crush.

Have these been cancelled or are they going to come out in Asian ; basically where the heck are they ?

I'll get the Drydock/ Undertow pack solely for Undertow. Best mold of the lot by far.

Seriously, what is with the front page news trying to be funny these days? I have to go through a wall of text to get to the real news item!
This front page post was about 20% actual news

I love seeing Hasbro use new and different names for the characters instead of rehashing the same names over and over.

These look really great. I'm loving Hasbro's ongoing trend to making Ransack's repaints reference real WWI aircraft. Tempts me toward Blue Maximus. That and the thought of an all biplane Decepticon fighter wing.

If undertow and drydock are a two pack (I don't see how they couldn't be) they are soo bought. I've always wanted undertow's mold, cause of the fandom's toilet mode, XD

MrSoundmeister

Yes there finally using the stormsurge model! And ill bet that the depthcharge model will be orange and white. And I cant wait to see the new ransacks colors!

Shortround repaints are always welcomed – that little guy is one of my all-time favourite TF molds. Fantastic little toy, glad to see him come back – thought you'll never beat the original paint scheme!
plowking
AWESOME!!…another Ransack repaint!! Must add him to the collection once he is released.

They are believed to be two-packs.

Nice find. Might pick them up if they look good, all of them except for Undertow.
