Board member GenZhao has gotten his hands on a Revenge of the Fallen Shanghai Attack Demolishor figure. This iteration has so far only been confirmed as a Takara-Tomy release for Japan, but GenZhao’s specimen has differing paint applications than the ones shown on earlier official images. Most striking is the dirt on the treads, scoop and arm.
Click above for all images including comparisons with Demolisher’s first release in robot and excavator modes.

White=Vehicle Accurate.
Red=Robot Accurate.
My guess..Red Suspenders(Things holding wheels up),Red neck,Black tires(He's in Shanhai! People!)(I know he's a dirty worker(gigedy),but,still,tires were black),Yellow Eyes(I mean REALLY yellow eyes),and I think He's good.
Poho
i didn't even know Demolishor was actually white until I watched the movie on bluray.
Anguirus
Oops, my mistake.

This would look great if they had more dirt apps. Gray would be good for the parts exposed in bot mode, since it didn't look that bright white in the movie (partially due to the fact that it was a night scene but you know what I mean).

Yes in the movie his head was red, but in the end it got all busted up and had some bits of silver, they should have went with a darker white/cream color to make the scheme fit with the whole dirty feel of the toy, I think the white is what makes the red look so garish.

Yeah, only Takara has confirmed this so far.
And jeez, this redeco actually appeared in the movie, so it makes perfect sense to release it, just like it makes sense to release a red Demolishor. How often these days do we get redecos in color schemes that actually appear in the fiction?

Ah yep. Hasbro has not confirmed, nor even mentioned in passing, a repaint of Demolishor.
Will they? Perhaps. But right now, they officially aren't.
Anguirus
Uh, no? I may be wrong but I'm almost sure that it turned up in a Hasbro catalog.
Anyway, I'm not super-enamored of his mold, but part of me really wants to buy him along with Legends Prime and Ironhide, and pose them accordingly. And then perhaps I'll move my Long Haul from standing at Megatron's side (40-foot version) to hanging out with Demolishor (65-foot monstrosity from original scale chart).

Next thing ya know we'll have the "blue collar constructicon tour".
General Magnus
I´d buy it.
Nevermore
Yeah, especially considering this is a toy only confirmed for Takara thus far…
SMOG
Damn… a repaint of this thing? It's bad enough that I am passionately indifferent to this design, but it's also shelf-warming like crazy even while I haven't seen a single Voyager Longhaul yet. And now they're going to repaint it.
That's the Hasbro I know. Find the suckiest, least popular mold you've produced, and then decide that if it isn't selling, saturating the market with a bunch of repaints will fix the issue!
I do sort of like the white though…

Be careful what you wish for. You never know what Hasbro will do next…
imranbecks
Still not sure if I'm getting this.. Plus the brown mud on the tracks just seem out of place.. It wasn't that way in the movie so it isn't really film accurate. Would prefer the tracks to be black… And is his head red in the movie?
Toxicon
Yeah, the desert one (Scavenger) never transformed, but the current voyager has its color scheme. The white color scheme is accurate to Demolishor.
rapid_fire
white one with brown tracks looks like a KO, same with the yellow one. (even the red one on that page looks like a KO, my demolisher has clear purple windows, that one has solid)
This one looks official
lowem
The completionists will have a field day with the tidal wave of repaints coming up
samtastic
Oh. The one in the desert that didn't transform? I thought the guy in Shanghai was red. If I'm wrong than my bad. I just though there was only 1 bot of these in the movie and that one was red….
Toxicon
How is it weird and pointless? It's a film-accurate repaint. The first one was in Scavenger's colors.
samtastic
This repaint makes no sense to me. I like this figure quite a lot – it's a unique design and he was great in the film (one of the only great things IMO)…
If they took all the movie constructicons and movie 1 bonecrusher and released a giant gift set I would buy that. Otherwise stop with these weird and pointless repaints! IMO.
