Chinese auction site Taobao.com has a couple of new repaints for sale: Axor and Electrostatic Jolt. Along with these listings come pictures!
Electrostatic Jolt, from ROTF Jolt, isn’t too exciting as he only gets some new gold arms and feet along with a frosted paint job (dig his new frosted head crest.) Most exciting is some rad lighting tampos applied to his car mode. Not bad for a character with little screen time.
Axor, an action master homage made out of retively new mould ROTF Lockdown, gets more love as he gains a new head (too bad his neck isn’t extended) and, much like the difference between Animated Lockdown and Blazing lockdown, a new weapon arm!
Electrostatic Jolt is part of deluxe Wave 3 of Hunt for the Decepticons and Axor is part of Wave 4.

I can't understand why there are ANY people down on the Lockdown mold or the Axer repaint…I can understand not caring about the character, he's obscure, but the mold is AWESOME. For me Axer was one of the LAST TFs I bought as a kid, and one of the first I bought with my own money under my own power….so he bridges my childhood and adult collections in many ways, and therefore is special to me, so I will be doing cartwheels when this hits shelves.
I wish I had found more than just one Lockdown though….I need more for Customizing, and Axer will be more work…Any idea if he's still shipping?
If you don't mind spending a few hours building it, I'd recommend the Monogram Cy-Kill kit. They can be had for cheap, the aesthetic is about right, the scale is nearly perfect, there's a loose "I'm officially connected to the Transformers to yline through a daisy-chain of 8 licencing deals" connection, and you MIGHT even be able to cram that exosuit onto Axer for Action-Master-Ride-Armor play pattern goodness….

Axer looks great; RotF Lockdown is my favorite Deluxe mold, and getting another Decepticon bounty hunter is awesome. Especially since Action Masters Axer was one of my favorite TFs when I was a kid.

Terradive is an instant bought. Jolt pass… Axor, I'm on the fence. The blue and yellow on this picture looks fantastic, but everywhere else I've seen pictures of him, it looked a lot more duller so this might be a photographic trick. And I'm still annoyed by the unpainted gray… All the RotF silver cars had fantastic paint jobs except this one, go figure. :/

Hmmm, Brimstone? Or is he to small?

I wasn't planning on getting Axor, but those pics make him look FANTASTIC! Jolt is a pass, though. Terradive is absolutely amazing! One of the coolest jet-formers to hit the shelves. Can't wait for these guys.

Electrostatic Jolt:
Bots mode: GREAT!
Vehicle Mode: Terrible.

I need a motorcycle for Axor something FIERCE. Lugnutz would be perfect if he was bigger. Suggestions?

Lockdown = Axor, if not Axor > Lockdown. The head is big and is in scale with the tall body

Either my Jolt is mistransformed or that one is… either way I like the original better

Has anyone noticed that Axor's weapon looks like hard plastic instead of rubber like ROTF Lockdown's hook. I guess we'll have to wait untill a video review is posted to see if it is, but if it is, then this alone will make Axor way better than Lockdown. Lockdown is a really good figure(one of the best in the movie line), but having that rubber hook really lets the figure down.

i think its a new head sculp the lockdown one had a long neck with spikes this does not

Lockdown > Axor.
Jolt reminds me of Rouge.
I want Terradive now.
Darkspeed
Terradive is awesome, one of the best Deluxe molds coming out of the movie line, and major props to Hasbro for the lance weapon! Very, VERY cool!
Axor, likewise, is a brilliant remold of Lockdown, and fits SO damn well!
Liokaiser
This. I'm really like Terradive with that spear.
tomagnus
Axor looks wicked, he's a definite maybe. jolt will be passed on. and Terradive looks awesome, bought on site. saw some pics of him in another thread that kinda put me off a bit. But this one pic here of his bot mode is wicked cool, and redeemed him from all those other awkward looking pics.
Skyclaw
Terradive is bought on site
Jolt is a Pass, im glad i sold the other one
Axor is badass and im hoping his neck dont extend, he looks perfect the way he is, but most likely a pass for me though.

I passed on Lockdown and was going to pass on Axor, but these pics are making it harder and harder to resist!
