Nah, they're probably City Speed Skids and Downtown Grove Mudflap, or something like that.
I'd like to see more of the orange Dead End before I make my opinion on it. Doesn't look too bad so far...

Someone has to have a 'thing' for redecos of these small motorcycle figures.
I'm not complaining mind you, but between the Energon Arcee mold and now the Ransack mold, we've got our own little biker gang.

Well they're cashing in on this, and they minus well seeing as they can't use it for Botcon/other lines. However, I'm smelling exclusives when it comes to these scouts... Japanese exclusives. Japan is usually the only ones to offer up cool redecos, and I just don't remember seeing three repaints of a figure in one line.... Oh wait... (Jazz, Bumblebee, Prime..... *facepalm*)

Thing is, the Scout was probably supposed to be named "Detour" (the name appears on the later European inserts) and be a separate character from deluxe Dead End. I'm casting them as such

Switch the colours and I'd agree.

Why not make something really impressive? Leader class Blackout? Leader/Voyager bonecrusher? Voyager Jetfire? HA Mudflap with Simmons?

But new molds cost them more money! Haha, hopefully we'll be seeing production shots of HA Mudflap with Simmons/Chromia very soon.

2 - Road Rocket was my first thought, too. The bike is certainly the right style to be Road Rocket, and you can put the shoulder-wheels out the same way as RR's were. As we've seen a few G2 homages turn up in other lines now. Or maybe Cybertron Ransack with his Japanese name, Gasket.
3&4 - Repaints of the FABs. They're probably get dorky tagons to the names like all the repeat Bumblebee ones did.

Besides which, I already have three different Jetfires, three different Bonecrushers and five different Blackouts (not including the Evac / Whirl / Grindor nonsense). Surely if Hasbro are going to give us new moulds, best to make them of new charcaters, rather than stuff we've already had a hundred times already?
Like the upcoming Scattorshot, Mindwipe, Dirge, Bludgeon and Breakdown, for example. Besides, for all those clamouring for 'new moulds of old characters', there's some lovely Starscream and Ratchet goodness coming your way. Enough to keep both camps happy, surely?
Can Hasbro really be giving us another red version of the bike mould so soon after Reverb? Here's my theory...
The 'red' bike is actually a orangey-brick red, same as the FAB Mudflap. Both appear to have brown as a secondary colour. So I'm guessing that we're looking at some store-exclusive two-packs here, one with the bike & Mudflap, the other with Skids and the sportscar. Or maybe all four in a big box set, I dunno.
And if we're guessing at names, I'm gonna take a stab at Backstreet for the car, Joyride for the bike.

I was going to say the same thing.
Also, since these are the second repaints of those molds, and they don't seem as detailed as the previous two, maybe they are an exclusive two-pack or something.

Those aren't Scouts. They're repaints of the existing FABs.
Posted by JaZzTaStIc on October 13th, 2009 @ 9:17am CDT
the detour molds kool but too much like wheelie so unless the robot mode has some crazy colours, pass
although they very well maybe lightspeed and afterburner actaully
shame tho, hoping they make universe versions instead

how did we miss this?
That is totally Micromaster Greaser, not Wheelie.

Makes a lot of sense, especially since the Peugeot 9009 Concept has the exposed engine in the back, like a reverse hot rod. Nice call, Blurrz. I see him named "Greasepit" tho...
