Three More Transformer 2 Toys? (Updated)

Three more Transformers have appeared online (joining Dead End), all proposed to possibly be part of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen line. The head design and "look" doesn't match the Transformers: Animated style and the lack of complexity in the transformation suggest all three are basic TFs, probably in the $6 range.

The first toy is Knock Out whose alt mode is a motorcycle. The pictures are apparently of a prototype that hasn't been painted yet. The second one is Dirt Boss whose green crane and construction crane does make you think "Constructicon" but the alt mode does little to suggest gestalt capabilities. The final toy is a blue Autobot truck with no suggested name. While it is possible that these toys are based on movie characters I get they feeling they are not.

Knock Out


Dirt Boss


Rollbar


Update: Via a German ebay auction, the blue truck has a name, Rollbar, and a much clearer picture of the toy. Via another auction, now a picture of the Autobot Knock-Out painted.

  1. Knock Out looks legitimate enough. Possible all that Arcee nonsense culminates to this figure, who knows.

    Another thought is that they could be tied to the TF2 Movie Video Game. If that's the case, then that may hold true for Dead End as well. So we may see all sorts of vehicles/robots, but no idea which ones may actually be IN the movie.

    I call shots for someone with itchy keyboard fingers to reply within 6 hours that Dirt Boss is one of the new Constructicons. haha

  3. The motorbike is entirely possible to be one of the bikes seen on the sets, I don't see why it couldn't be one of them.
    Regarding Dirt Boss I don't really know what to say, the face looks convincing but it could very well just be another transformers that is released around the same time as the movie.

    The unknown one... doesn't it look kind of like the Ice Cream truck...

  4. About the unknow one... His colors and head design IMO are similar to Cybertron Primus ;P NO, i don't realy think that it is Primus, i am just saying what he resembles to me ;)

  5. The unknown truck looks like a Red Bull truck to me. The colors match and the logo looks vaguely similar.

  9. The currently "Unknown"truck almost looks like G1 rodimus prime when he's in his full mode but I agree it could possibly be the ice cream truck in an updated form perhaps ?

  10. Don't forget the pictures of the forklifts in the background of the other autobots at that military base earlier in the year.

  13. i was gonna say, knock out looks alot like an autobot, maybe the 3 motorbikes seen in the walmart special are 3 autobots alby thems selves and they go with rachet on a mission while prime,bum,hide,thetwins, and silver car go on another mission. im mean think they said thered be 25 robots in this movie an i didnt see alot of the audi in any of the prime/bumble vids on here.

  14. The motorcycle's vehicle mode is very similar to Prowl's from Transformers: Animated. The transformation is similar also to Oil Slick of the same series. The forklift I would hope is not the quality of what the Constructicons will look like. This toy is too simple to fit the complexity of the current toy line. Same with the armored truck. It's too small, as it's comparison to the coin. The forklift and the armored truck are probably below "scout" level--more for kids.

  15. I just can't see kids FROTHING to collect this AMAZING HARDENED BATTLE WARRIOR in the form of...

    a forklift.

    Sorry dudes, just can't see that happening. haha

  16. This is Liftor, or Scrapper.

  17. Here's an interesting question.

    Someone please explain to me why the "Constructicons", those amazing machines that BUILD SHIT, combine to form "Devastator", that which DESTROYS SHIT.

    Build shit, destroy shit. Make up your mind! :)

    In that sense, Lifter-bot should be an Autobot. Just sayin' man. hehe

    Unless this Lifter-bot is actually some devious mad crazy evil hater that STABS PEOPLE IN THE FACE. OK, maybe he could be a Decepticon.

    I know, slow day, man.

  18. These look so stupid ...

  19. I'm still cautious with regards to those toys alleged "names". Sellers from China give toys random names all the time. As far as I know, even Hasbro people are referring to these just as "Motorbike Guy", "Truck Guy" etc. internally until names are finalized and printed on the packaging.

    Unless those Chinese sellers have access to the packaging, I'd take these names with a grain of salt.
