Thanks to chenkofs of Actoys.net for posting the first images of a Transformers Movie Evac repaint. The original poster indicates it will likely be released in the Revenge of the Fallen toy line. The Evac toy uses the Transformers Movie Blackout mold with a retooled head. Check out the images by clicking the thumbnail.

Wow. Talk about your obscure reference.
Just for that alone, I might bite. I also liked Evac a lot. (mostly due to Evac being 'in development' back in Botcon 07's Hasbro Tour)

Springer would be a repaint of Movie 1's Incinerator.

How many repaints are we gonna get from just this mould alone?! PASS!! Once is enough for me. Bought Blackout wont be getting this. Aweful. Bring on Movie-verse TF: ROTF Springer!! Ill bite for that any day.
Blackout
I'll pass…
Detour
Wow, I'm just astonished at how many people don't even bother reading the threads before commenting.
Regardless, Whirl is awesome and since I skipped all the redecos/retools of Blackout since his original release, I will get him.
And he shall go with my Classics Autobots.
I especially like how in copter mode he's a realistic blue helicopter, but in robot mode all the powder blue suddenly gets revealed for G1 bot-mode accuracy.
Rikotron
That is straight away a must-have!
Looks like a Gundam crossover!
OVR_RUN
this one looks ok i might just pick him up. but i still love the first one! it was an awesome repaint! hince my sig.
Dinobot Nuva
Do want. All three of those.
Feralstorm
I'm guessing mostly (1), with possible touches of (4) and (5), but I'll also add:
. 6) The colors match the original Ovelon Gazette toy more than G1 Whirl.
Optimus Prime
Looks cool, I especially like the "Ovelon" reference (I was trying to figure out what those numbers/letters meant, never thought to check it upside-down). Don't know if I'll buy one of these, though, unless it's an exclusive. I want to stick to new mold stuff for ROTF.
Master Sing
Hmmm… I told myself I wasn't going to be buying any movie figures this time around…
I may have to swoop on this one though…
Mr. Sinister
Yep. The damn automorph gimmick usually makes me feel like I'm going to snap his legs off. I transformed him once & never went back.

There's the Legends class Desert Blackout, and the Lawsons Version as well that is a bit different from the Premium.
I'd have quite liked a Desert Blackout in the Voyager scale that is a suitable color scheme for the mold. and ties in well with the Military theme that some of the toys have.
I didn't really see whirl when I looked at that as the yellow distracted me from thinking of Whirl – I suppose it looks a bit like Rotorstorm as well.
Incidently if you go back a few pages that vehicle mode picture shows off the gap that allows the cape to drape in robot mode – I'm sure that loads of people are unaware of that and I read someone mention it yesterday and I got to thinking I wonder how many people didn't know the Blackout derived molds could do that.

Movie Whirl: "Wreck and Rule!"
Actually a pretty refreshing repaint all things considered. Surprised blackout did'nt get more than a premium repaint and the evac retool anyway.
RedAlert Rescue
Possible meanings of the color choice.
1) It matches the colors of the Navy Helicopters on the John C Stennis in the ROTF movie.
2) It's supposed to look like Soundwave more
3) It's supposed to look like RID's ROTOR
4) It's supposed to look like The Gobot 'Flip Top'
5) Someone at Hasbro just likes Blue Helicopters ?
I hope the existance of an Evac repaint means there's a slightly increased chance of two things EVAC & Incinerator as a Legends toys and Springer as a Voyager.

Looks better than the first Movie Evac, but I don't know if that will be enough to make me buy him.
He almost has the same shade of blue as Blackout did (tho Blackout was a bit darker). I'm still saying pass. So far, only Ramjet and Skywarp look good enough to buy as far as repaints go from ROTF.

Im hearing er reading alot about shockwave. In the PSP version of the movie game he wasn't a helicopter. He was a cool tank. I can't find any images though but I prefer him to a chopper. I like this mold in autobot markings anyway. Eventhough it's not really auto-ish to be a chopper.
Scourge_151
I like this a lot, much nicer colours to me than the original Evac to me. If we see him in the UK I will be most tempted!
Nevermore
It's not like people have already explained this in detail (even with images) on page 3 and 4.
