We reported a rumor of what appeared to be listings for Transformers Movie toys. On the list was a deluxe figure called Swindle. Our own Autobot032 has brought us news about the first image of the figure. Ebay seller lindsey9562 has posted an auction for Swindle that contains the first image of the figure. That is not all. lindsey9562 has also posted an auction for Bonescrusher with an in package image of the toy. Here are the images from the auctions:

Wonder if these are hitting stores now?
That would be awsome if they were.

From what I can see of the art on the package Swindle's entire face in a circle that looks like one eye like the troops in IDW's Prequel.

Actually, I think this guy is like an online store or something. He seems to have a full case assortment of the figures, rather than one here or there.
Swindle's not a repaint...looks to be a brand new mold.

Cocor01 seems to be the person who bought 'em all.
I just can't see paying those prices for something that will be out in less than 2 months.
EDIT: He had Bumblebee, and Barricade as well. They're selling out like hotcakes. I'd say this guy made his money back and then some. Geez. O_o

I think he has a big eye, like a lens.
Would it have been to much to ask to take a pic of the back of Bonecrusher's pacakge? I hope whoever wins the auction will get some pics soon, because whoever won the Jazz auction from like 3 months ago never posted pics of the figure, we still don't really know what the real-life Jazz deluxe toy looks like.
And I HOPE that the Bonecrusher toy's bot mode has those spikes on his shoulders, cuz by the looks of the toy now, I don't know if that big rake-thing at the front can spilt into two... if it stays in one piece in bot mode, it'll ruin the figure for me.
Bonecrusher is only a definite buy with the shoulder blades in bot mode.

There are people out there and I'm one of them that will pay that price just to be the first to have it...

Just be thankful that you ony pay $10...I have to pay $24 (AUS dollars, duh)...that's the standard at Big W I'm afraid. Here's the normal price listing at Big W for TF's:
Scout/Basic: $16-18
Deluxe: $24
Voyager: $45
Ultra: Er...haven't bought one in a while.
Leader: $88 last time I checked.
Supreme: Something ridiculous, I'm sure.
Oh, and:

I agree with you. I see someone winge, I laugh.
Oooh, before I forget! I am dropping Barricade from my list (he's too top-heavy anyways)to make room for Swindle...But first I must see his bot mode.

Yeah, we get jipped considering $10USD is like... $15AUD. With GST, I could see $18MAX. Not the $28 Myers charges.
Eh, I am buying the movie figures to relative scale, so I got alot a money to save for 3 Leaders.

I assumed the red one in the comic was Swindle. I didn't see any indication that they were drones, just similar in appearance.

You're totally right. I was going of off memory. After looking at the first comic, he was the one doinng the torture.
I wonder how long it will be until we see the one that looked like A-Thrust?

If I read some of the stuff on the 2005 boards correctly, there is one other drone from the prequels (hell if I know its name - gonna need those comics now!) that will make an appearance as a deluxe figure as well. Probably that "tow truck" listing.
Good point. I think it will be a solid figure. Even if it's claw hands as opposed to jet hands like A-thrust.
