Board member S250 has given us the first image of an upcoming Walmart exclusive for Revenge of the Fallen. The Fury of Fearswoop includes a repainted Movie 2007 Dreadwing simulating the colors of G2 Hooligan, ROTF Legends Sideswipe, and ROTF Legends Mudflap.

It's as if when naming this set, they said "Ok, let's thin of the cheesiest name possible for this character"
"I got it: Fearswoop"
"Perfect! Now, we need to work that cheesy name into a cheesy set name."
"Well the phrase 'Fury of' is pretty cheesy…"
"That's it! The Fury of Fearswoop! Gentlemen, grab some yeger, we've created the cheesiest set name ever!"
And that's why I love it. Because it is the cheesiest box set name ever.

The Overcast repaint looks great and makes up for a so-so mold. I actually passed on Dreadwing to get Overcast (it was easy to do).

I'm not getting this.
Why?
Because the Dreadwing mold is terrible, and these colours make it look even worse.

Yep, I noticed to "tiger" look as well. Thanks to everyone for the G2 education, I didn't know about Hooligan or Fearswoop so this was good info! Don't think I'll be buying these guys, but good to know about them.
Does anyone know if the Marvel comic series will be repeated in the Classics series that IDW is doing now??? Would like to buy this series if it is reprinted. If you do have any info feel free to PM me with it. Thanks…

I have no real interest in this set… I think that mold has just about used up it's arbitrary repaints. Hopefully we won't see much more of it.
However, I just have to comment on how oddly appealing it is to have that Deluxe jet packaged with the Legends class Autobots. The implied scale works really well actually. It even makes that stupid drone-head mold look menacing for half a second, if you imagine it towering over the Autobots that way.

I would be interested in it just for the Hooligan paint job.

Actually that was G1 "season 5". G2 was a different kind of deal.

Also, about the "copyright"/"trademark" deal:
A copyright, in laymans terms, refers to an original expression of an idea you came up with first, or independently from someone else having a similar idea. You have an idea for a story and write a script. That script falls under copyright. You have an idea for an image and paint it. That also falls under copyright.
Trademarks, meanwhile, refer to names, logos, slogans etc. you may use to advertise your work. For example, the content of the Transformers cartoon, the backstories of the characters etc., all of that is copyrighted. The name "Transformers", used to market the cartoon and the toyline, is trademarked.
Copyright protection expires several decades after the original author's death (differs from country to country), regardless of how long the copyrighted work remains in publication. Trademarks need to be actively protected via consistent use in commerce. If you don't use a trademark for two years, a competing company can try to snag it away from you.
