FC Toys has posted some new images of the Dropkick deluxe Decepticon figure, another character who - despite not being in the film - will join the ever-growing Transformers Universe in the new Transformers Movie video game based on this summer's live-action movie. Interesting to note that the images of the back of Dropkick's packaging gives us a good look at 'Recon Barricade' a repaint of the Decepticon police car.

As the FC Toys website is currently experiencing surver problems, the images have been mirrored in nemo's thread over at TFW2005 here.

UPDATE : New images have been added to the original thread here.

Is Payload a Swindle repaint? Sorry if that's a stupid question.

Does Final Battle Jazz come with a different weapon? It doesn't look like the sword in that pic.

Payload transforms into an armored car, along the lines of a SWAT team transport van. He has the same head as Swindle, since he (and Dreadwing) are some of the Decepticon drones in the game...

As for Dropkick, I must say I adore that design. He really looks complex and imposing, that head design is cool and the colours work very nicely. It's a shame all these cool figures couldn't actually be in the movie, like Wreckage, Longarm and Dropkick...

Love that symbol from above pic. Not bad repaints of the figures. Will more than likely pick them up.

A realistically sculpted truck bed under the removable bed cover... WOW!

I give Hasbro a "tip of the hat" for that.

But I give a "wag of the finger" for making his robot mode look too much like Energon Prime.

I may have found my first two movie figures. I was gonna skip the whole line. But Longarm and Dropkick are awsome. I may have to buy.

Don't feel bad, since they aren't actually 'movie' characters. :PEACE:

Both Dropkick and Longarm look fantastic...still need better pics of Payload.

Keep giving us this great stuff, Hasbro!

I meant movie toy line. They are more traditional than the other actual movie figs.

I have to agree. This one looks pretty good. I am annoyed that so many of these characters seem to have melee weapons or cannons that are part of them, like this guy's claw and Swindle's chest thing. I just hope he can hold a regular gun...

I want him. I like thw giant D-Con symbol on his hood and part of the roof. Barricade looks ugly in the pic. Ill wait to see the real figures but at this point i dont want him.

Wow, Dropkick reminds me of Beast Wars Ironhide, and it just looks fantastic. Recon Barricade looks awesome too, same with Longarm. And i'm still wondering what in the world Jazz is holding.

An emo Decepticon? I never thought I'd live long enough to see this...not that I wanted to. But sweet looking design, though.

wow he looks like movie primes evil lil brother...I like that he has fists i hope those guns underneath them swivel 180 degrees so the cant be seen but if not he still looks pretty sick.. payload looks stupid with that lens head

So do Swindle and the jet, it's a 'mindless drone' thing.

I guess that means Dropkick's got some more personality than they do.

I'm pleasantly surprised that the bed cover is removable and there's an actual truck bed under it with no bot kibble. Very nicely done. This movie line just keeps getting better and better. I've yet to see one that I don't want.

yeah I know, I wonder why they gave those drones really cool alt modes you figure if they were drones they would turn into somthing the real decepticons could better utilize like weapons . I like payloads body and we never saw an armored car/truck before that was a fresh idea and they turned him into a drone.. I think I will buy him becuz i have an extra towline and I will try and transplant his head then call him Armorhide SR.

Emo? Not really, I think he's more of a disgruntled working stiff than an emo kid.

I'm gonna go with you on this one,s imply because I like that interpretation better, even if the "sitting in the dark being angry" sounds pretty emo. That said, I'm pretty sure we're gonna have to hear the "Cheer up, emo robot" jokes for a while. You know what? I'm gonna go ahead and sonsider him disgruntled in a way that makes him somewhat emo.

dropkick looks cool.....aside from the chicken legs, in person it might look OK but overall its looks way top heavy. The repaint of barricade is pretty sweet. Barricade is one of the few movie toys i like, since buying its actually grown on me more.

It's really cool, I just wish his legs and feet were a bit more fitting.

I really like the details that were put into the alt mode.

Woah, kibbly. Not digging the tailgate skidplate.
Still a cool figure, though.

Dropkick keeps looking better and better.

Payload and Longarm look good too, its amazing that all the non-movie figures look like decent figures, which is great considering they are all only 3rd string characters.

Final Battle Jazz looks like he went to an army base to pick up some better weapons.

Man its hard to belive that dropkick isnt coming straight from the new movie... he is really well designed and looks great in both modes... the decepticon logo paint job is awesome...

Yeah... They could have phoned this one in, and instead, they went the extra mile. I'm loving this movie line.

Recon Barricade looks nice, too. I might wind up getting him. Scratch that, I'll probably wind up getting him.

Oh man! Check it out!!!

Even though his eyes are one long visor, the light-piping in the back actually highlights two "eyes" behind his visor, like some scary friggin' ninja!

That's is so cool!

He's Batman.

I dunno... With the ninja, the brooding, and the huge logo, Batman seemed like the obvious go-to joke here.

This figure is shaping up to be the best of the movie line. I like him more than wreckage already. Only leader prime has the advantage still. We shall see.

Yup, Dropkick is quickly becoming one of my favourite designs of recent years. I love the engine molded on his chest, there's just so much cool stuff to appreciate in this figure I don't know where to start!

Man, I hope he's a playable character in the game... I would love to see a really cool 3D render of him, and get to drive around and cause havoc with this guy!
