The Arker has given us package shots for the new Revenge of the Fallen Scout Class repaint wave. We finally can put names to the figures and see that they will be offered in Autobot vs Decepticon NEST Global Alliance two packs. Combined bio for the Slap Dash vs Trenchmouth “Windy City Chase” set:
Everything Slap Dash does, he does in a hurry. Not because he’s fast – though he is – but more because he’s lazy. Careful planning just isn’t his thing. Unfortunately, Trenchmouth is not the sort of Decepticon you want to fight without some foresight. He may be a filthy, poorly tuned road hog, but he’s also a smart, canny fighter.and Beachcomber vs Deadlift’s “Road Rival Showdown”:
There was a time when neither Beachcomber nor Deadlift were interested in warfare. Beachcomber spent his time exploring the barren wilderness of remote planets, while Deadlift enjoyed the function of transporting deactivated Decepticons to the smelting pools for repurposing. Now, however, the war has drawn both of them into its grip, and the two find themselves in a close-quarters fight to the finish.Click above for the images.

i missed the Slapdash news originally but just saw him on the shelves locally.
I think he needs much more blue though. (I picked up his original figure at a thrift store-minus his engine. ) The original power master had blue AND yellow… not "wheelie orange".

Cool, I love that Beachcomber repaint, Slapdash (Wheelie?) looks very nice too!

Trench mouth looks to be WWI slang for the disease. It's thus got a military origin, so I'm perfectly fine with it. Just the association with 'Trench' brings up a lot of things…damp, dark, filthy, long slogging combat…
WWI is so underappreciated.

Sweet, by the sound of things it shouldn't be too hard picking up a loose Deadlift on eBay, he's the only one I want. Slapdash looks nice but the funky head ruins it, so I might as well grab a Legends Wheelie (which being an Aussie I missed out on) down the line instead.
Bet Australia won't get these two sets either.

Jolt and Mudflap were given to Decepticon toys from the first movie. Hasbro tends to keep names to a specific faction if the characters are popular enough, though.
I don't really think Trenchmouth is bad as a name. It beats those names that seem to be picked out of a fixed pool of words (night, scream, beat, star, sun, storm, dark, wind, wing, claw, jet, fire).
They could've gone with Decepticon SporkTM

Trenchmouth? That's a pretty bad name, but still a cool toy. Road Rocket could've worked just as well, but I think Road Rocket was an Autobot, and Hasbro has a thing about not giving Autobot names to Decepticons. Oh well.
I like the other names though. Pretty clever. Deadlift? Unexpected, but it does sound cooler than "Spoons".

Wow they really have named a Transformer everything, Greaser, well I would agree with you based ont he Orange and flames, but the plastic on the new ROTF Slapdash looks pretty much exactly the color of the legends Wheelie.
Also, the "skin" if it was black I would agree but it looks alot more like Wheelie.
Does anyone know when these are supposed to be out in 2010?
I need the Beachcomber to go with my legends Beachcomber.
Also, he looks alot more G1 then anyother scout so far.

Im glad that beachcomber and spoons are packed together as they are the only ones in this assortment I want. Not to mention this'll probably be cheaper then buying scouts individually, unless they are store exclusive.

will get both sets, but sell the dead end repaint and the forklift. Just want the Beachcomber and red Knock out. So, will the Red Baron Ransack be in a two pack or seperately.
racnruin
Beachcomber & Deadlift deffinetly want I didn't pick up Duneruner and loved the Dirtboss mold
Slapdash an Trenchmouth didn't care for there original mold/character versions So I'll pass on them!
caecae22
im hoping for a repaint of scalpel called perceptor
Transfan2
Decepticons wise, I think Deadlift looks nice with how the Orange/Gray look together while I like how the red/dark colors look on Trenchmouth.
(I guess Deadlift's lifts are deadly, Ha Ha Ha.)

We've already seen both sonar and wide load in package. They are individual releases

These two-pack Scouts don't get individual bios, only the couple of sentences each in that single paragraph.
The primary gimmick of NEST figures are that their bios establish rivalries with other characters.
Also?
