The-Arker.com has posted two blurry photos of part of the back of the packaging for two upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Scout-class figures. One image features both modes of the previously revealed boat mold, in which the name Depthcharge can be seen from the blurred partial bio. The other image features both modes of a previously unseen Transformer with a biplane alternate mode named Ransack. Check out both images by clicking on the thumbnail to the left.

Agreed. Would be even more awesome if they could retool an extra wing on to him too, though a strait up red repaint with the Independent symbols on the wings would be good enough, imo (assuming they could/would use that symbol).

If they can turn Dropkick into the Sanford & Son truck, they can make this the goddamn Red Baron.
Sso02V
I don't follow. He's far too wingless to be a suitable sky-chariot for Herr Richthofen.
Gryph
There is only one repaint for a guy like this. Red.

wha you want with the ugly gobots? this is transformers, not go bots !

nice g2 ransack homage. Even though ransack was a spitfire. He is from that era of warplane. I've referenced him when people want the old ww1 and ww2 style planes in their collection since that's basicly all we've had. (there is also animated lugnut a ww2 style bomber who looks a lot like ransack in robot mode)
Movie ransack here is a unique bi plane (ww1). I'll really have to consider troop building it if the articulation turns out enjoyable.
Repaints are enevitable with basics, Hasbro must be planning something gobot like with these, perhaps the next batch of repaints for these guys turns out to be cy-kill, spoons, and zero.
The only gobot I had was "water walk" I did like it though, took him everywhere as a three year old.

I think you might have something there. But i would still be happy with more WW1 era vehicles though.

Wow depthcharge.
thats really cool.

I think I like the boat thing, it will be a great addition to my collection….damn…

Look like he was right. I did some research and it appears that Depthcharge's alternate mode is a refitted and remodeled version of a Visby class Corvette of the Royal Swedish Navy.

Hasbro have ways of making you give them money.
"What!? Robogeek says he isn't going to buy anything from the second movie toyline!? HAH! We'll see about that! Kyde, stalk him and find out what he wants! Make Robogeek realise that he cannot escape our grip!"

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm tempted to pick these guys up when I see them. So much for my promise to myself to not buy any movie figs. *sigh*

…Holy Crap. Biplane. I never would have expected that…and it looks pretty cool.

They both look really great, so far they and Leader Prime are the only revealed ROTF toys I'll probably buy since I'm really trying to keep my non-Animated purchases to a minimum.

OK, now I have to get that little boat scout now that I know his name's Depthcharge.

I already liked the boat because there aren't enough TF boats, so imagine how I feel about the biplane.
I f*ckin' LOVE IT!
QFT!
So it's a double homage. I dig it more!
Great toys on the scout class … and the price should be good. May can't come soon enough.

My only thought is that I hope Ransack is a crop duster… i think that's the only real use of biplanes these days, and they're used to spread pesticide, so that would be a cool callback to his G1 Insecticon roots…

w00t! I -totally- called the correct transformation of depthcharge's legs. score one for me! XD they look quite nifty, from these eyecancer-grade pics. finally, some sub-$10 TFs that I'll actually want to buy again! lol
flywheels
I'm loving the triumphant return of the scout class! That biplane looks so awesome.

looks good from what i can tell
