The Autobot Srike Mission, which includes four figures, 2007 Movie Longarm, Revenge of the Fallen Breakaway, Revenge of the Fallen Sideways, and Revenge of the Fallen Rampage, has changed. From what we first knew, it was only Sideways that had 'battle-damage', however with the sticker applied on the box saying '2 Exclusive Battle Damaged Figures', it can only be concluded that there is another. With Rampage and Breakaway looking unchanged from their original release, it could be assumed that Longarm is the one that features minor 'battle-damage'.

Well, it's good for new fans who have just joined the hobby as the price for this box will be lower than 4 separate Deluxes. Obviously I don't fit under that category, and the only figure that I don't have is RotF Breakaway, and I'm not buying a 4-figure boxset for a couple of figures with minor battle damage.

Well, the packages / boxes just get wider and wider eh? :-?

I sure would like to see some close up images of the battle damage effects.

I would, of it had beige Breakaway.

Your wish has been granted. Sorry, you don't have two more. You only had one.

Second pic down, the one of the back of the box.
Longarm has a black spot in his hood.

I will because of the figures in it I only have Breakaway and he is the other variant from what I can see. Will repaint one into a seeker prolly.

As a completist, I will buy this set for the battle-damaged figures alone - shame it means I have to get another Breakaway and Rampage though.

I hate it when Hasbro pack exclusives in with already-released figures, such as this one and the upcoming Blowpipe/Sideways pack.

Man, these battle damage are getting worse, at least with 2007 movie battle damage TFs there's actually burnt marks and whatnot. These just kinda looks like they collected dusts.

I think it's okay.
It makes him look like a dirty, old truck.

Yeah, the junky/dirty look gives the tow truck alt mode some charm.

You're going to have to force the issue next time if you want to get credit for things. We do our best posting news from all over the place, we hang around on the forums most of the time, but posting something like that in a thread about something completely different, you aren't exactly putting it out there.

I know, I know. I kid. I was a news mod once here too. I genuinely didn't think it was newsworthy enough to bring to anyone's attention, to be honest. I guess I should in the future... #-o

Yeah. A trip to the car wash and he'll be fine.

And how many times are they going to repackage Sideways? Methinks Hasbro is regretting the manufacture of that figure....

I have a feeling Hasbro/Takara is showing love to Sideways because he didn't get much screentime in the ROTF movie.
