yizhi521 of TF08.net has posted a small gallery of images of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Audi R8 Decepticon. Among the images is a nice high res image of the robot mode and some cool detail shots of the arms and mechanical details on the rear window of the car mode.
In addition to this, a pair of videos have been posted. The first demonstrates one of the “Mech Alive” Automorph features, where a part of the underside of the car folds out and the front wheels tuck into a cavity underneath the car’s hood. The second, longer of the two videos, shows off the entire transformation of this new toy. Check them both out below:

The car sure looks realistic. Robot mode can be anything. What are you basing your accuracy on?

the leg should transformed like chicken leg ..JUST like barricade in the fist TF MV1

It's too similar to Barricade to be anybody else. And I don't know who is kidding themself but look at a closeup of the figure's head, it DOES look like Barricade's, with some superficial changes. Same shape, same placement of eyes/mouth. Any changes are cosmetic.
If it's anybody but Barricade I would be EXTREMELY surprised.

I still find this toy look like shit. Whats with the pink/red windows and red body? I was sure they were going for more accuracy with this movie's line this time.
prime is a legend
I like the mold especially the car mode, just wish it had a bit more paint particulaly on the bright red waist.

It must be Barricade. There must be a Barricade. I love Barricade!!!
It onlu lacks some paint and has got too much red on his lower torso + his feet are soooo small: if you happen to pick up one with loose joints you're fucked!
Skylock
This is definitely one of my least favorites to date.

That's alternity convoy.

thats awesome…..i hope you are right and it is barricade …and i hope he gets his ass kicked in for not showing up to help megs….that was a really good assessment of what could really transpire in the new movie

^^ Sideswipe? Where? Not the pic with the R8 and another silver car? I still don't think this is Barricade. There are some similarity with the 'wings windows' and wheel hands. But the head does not look exactly like Barricade. The head is rounder and the crest is different.
Similar does not always mean the same character. Look at BW Cheetor and Tigatron. They have the same transformation, body and weapons . But they have different alt modes, different color, and similar but different (cat like) faces. Same with the R8 and Barricade. Could be brothers or they just look simialr to each other.
And then you can argue that characters can look completely different from there old form to their new form.
Poho
there must be some horrid mistransformation going on. the legs look TERRIBLE.

does anyone else notice that one of the pics in the news item has sideswipe in it? my concern for this figure kinda drops off, noticing that. I wanna see sideswipe.

As many people already pointed out I really don't like the red. Seems out of place. The legs are scrawny but I think they wouldn't look soooo bad if the waist piece at least was black. And perhaps larger feet? Still a cool figure.

Car mode is great, i like the automorph thing.. but the legs are just horrible. gotta wait to see a better vid of it though.

I seem to remember the leaked artwork for the rear shot of the bot mode of the R8 (which looks similar to this toy) had only two tiny bits of red on it, which I believe were the taillights. No further, red was on there.

Is it just me but oddly enough the head sculpt looks like Laserbeak and the matching color scheme.

Surely this has GOT to be mistransformed? The kibble on the back looks horrendous. It looks like it should all fold down to the lower back and even the figure out more. And the 2 protruding window bits on the shoulders? Easily broken off during play. Surely the character in the movie doesn't look so brittle and spindley?
