The Arker has posted new images of the upcoming Super Tuner Throwdown boxset for the Revenge of the Fallen line. It features Autobot Blowpipe versus Decepticon Sideways. Sideways appears unchanged from his mass release, while Blowpipe is a redeco of the Movie 2007 Dropkick/Salvage. His name comes from a Decepticon G1 Targetmaster famous for being Lord Zarak’s brother in law.

Hasbro's stated date for the set is 11/1/09: Blowpipe – ROTF Main Line – Transformers Resources
The Resources section is your friend!

Anyone have any sort of estimation as to when these'll be released?

I saw a ROTF sideways at a thrift store the other day, along with a whole bunch of other toys for $1.98

sideways arm gimmick?
what are they pointing at sideways right arm?
does he has that gimmick where you push/pull this pulley looking thing at his arm?
this thing was posted at seibertron

Aw geez, I feel dumb… I saw this guy at Botcon and only now, that you said that, did I make the connection to Pipes. Clearly he is intended as a sort of dual homage. Can't believe I didn't catch that before.
Well, I was planning on getting him anyway, but if he is essentially Movie Pipes then that seals it. Pipes, Gears, Brawn…. the minibot faction of the movie line is growing. Here's to hoping for a few more.

try looking for one named Lube.

interesting names…. sideways & blowpipe…. two-pack
Triceradon
Not quite.
There are indeed worse names, but Bulkhead isn't one of them.

Bought oh and BLOWPIPE.

Blowpipe is the second Transformer I want because of the name, Big Daddy being the other.
That, and because I have Salvage, the mold is pretty cool.
Ehhh…no.
EDIT: They should've packaged him with Thrust, not Sideways.

I am sick of people complaining about the name Blowpipe.
I mean, tons of other names are worse. Bulkhead anyone? X]
Aaaanywho, Blowpipe is too similar to Dropkick and I already have sideways.
Easy pass.

That two back would have been better if Dropkick was repainted into Trailbreaker.

Well, at least the new figure I want is in a 2 pack and not a 3 or 4 pack. Only one spare fig instead of several.
Can't quite make out that bio either. I gave it a go, but only 1/4th of it is readable.

Cool Set Though. Really like Blowpipe, since I didn't get the 1st movie line Salvage/Dropkick. I think he's an awesome figure.
Wanted to get the set, but there is Sideways, which I already have. So no get. Also, why does two sets in a row have Sideways?

Sideways vs. (Unreasonable) Wheelie

Two things:
1) Blowpipe
-horrible name
-great toy
2) Sideways
-Is there a box set out that doesn't involve Sideways?
Cyber-Scream
Whats the reason for this?
flywheels
Easy pass.
Autobot Burnout
If I aready had the Dropkick mold, I wouldn't need this set. But I don't so I need this set. Looks like I'll be breaking my "no repaints/retools" rule again since I'll be getting Sideways AND Dead end eventually now…
Jarodimus
The same reason we're getting Skyfall instead of Skyjack and Fearswoop instead of Hooligan, I'd imagine. The name probably wasn't available.

blowpipe…? is hasbro trying to get kids to do drugs on bongs
