The Arker has uploaded the in package images of Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen NEST Global Alliance - Dirge, Tuner Mudflap & Armorhide.
Dirge is the only brand new toy here. As for Tuner Mudflap & Armorhide are straight repaint of Mudflap and Landmine.

The images also give us the packaging new look as well as respective combat biographies:

Dirge's bio:

Dirge thought the heart of enemy territory - N.E.S.T. Headquarters - was the perfect place from which to launch a secret campaign of terror. A single slip-up revealed his presence, and brought his plans crumbling down. Now he's running scared with Bumblebee and Armorhide on his tail. He's to firghtened to land, but so terrified of running out of fuel that he finds himself breathing a sigh of relief every time he touches down.

Tuner Mudflap's bio:

There was a time when Mudflap would have been intimidated by a warrior as accomplished as Sideswipe. But now, with the final battles of the war in his past, and a hot new engine and paint job, he's ready to give the Autobot sword-master a run for his money. Mudflap can't outfight Sideswipe, but there's no doubt in his mind he can out-drive the older Autobot.

And Armorhide's:

Things have been slow lately, so the discovery of a Decepticon hiding right under his nose was like a dream come true for Armorhide. He's enjoying working alongside Bumblebee, since his damaged vocal processor means the other Autobot can't complain about his methods. Armorhide doesn't care about stealth or safety. All he cares about is bringing Dirge crashing down.

Dirge is definitely a new mold.

All three look great, and I really can't wait for Dirge. Armorhide looks awesome too. Zombie robot!

Dirge is a new mold. You're thinking of fellow G1 Conehead Seeker Thrust, who's the repaint of Breakaway. Of course I'm snatching them both

I also love Dirge and Armorhide's interlocking bios. Whoever took over bio writing needs a raise after these guys and Bludgeon and JA Ironhide!

That's awesome.

Awesome!! just really awesome!! Dirge looks really cool and at the sametime he could fit either universe and ROTF line and Armorhide looks damn awesome as well!! but a new head mold for Armorhide would have been nice too! Also, really digging the connecting bios with these two and looking forward to pick these up, even though i told myself no repaints

.

Gonna pass on need for speed tuner Mudflap though..

I totally agree!

I love the repaints and Dirge is awesome. Man, I know I'm getting RotF Dirge and Thrust so this means I may have to get Starscream to make the movie Seekers in my collection. Voyager Starscream seems like a cool toy...but...space Dorito...

I like thesse guys.
Buty, what's with all of these rivalries?
JA Ironhide vs Bludgeon
Ratchet vs Lockdown
And now, Dirge vs Armorhide

The interconnecting bios are a nice way of spicing things up, in my opinion. It's better than the standard "This is such-and-such and they are like this and like that.". Often the Transformers bios seem more like personal adds so making the fiction have connectivity and actually have some narrative potential in the toyline universe is a nice change.

I think the rivalries in the bios is just to help sell more guys, you get Megatron to go with Optimus, so why not get Dirge without Armorhide?

Dirge... Not too sure about the cockpit forearm, but other than that its a nifty mold.

I think so too! So is tuner Mudflap a repaint, redeco or a new mold?

Can't you tell? Same mold, different deco.

Dirge is pretty cool, I like the mold and the bio isn't half bad. Tuner Mudflap can die in a fire, no way can he even compete with Sideswipe, and for the love of Primus that is the worst colour scheme I've seen. Armorhide is looking nice, never got the 2007 Movie Landmine mold so I'll probably have to get that if Armorhide is good too!

Dirge looks awesome. Now who else sees it being repainted in the near future?

You guys aren't alone! I'm a fan of the Mudflap and Skids Deluxe molds.

Posted by Valandar on September 27th, 2009 @ 12:27pm CDT

I'm not that big on either Skids or Mudflap - there's too much car hanging off their backs. I regret getting Skids, and do not want to get Mudflap - any incarnation.

Dirge looks VERY interesting, because (for once) he's not a variation on the "Veritech / Valkyrie" transform scheme that something like 90% of Transforming Jets (of any brand) suffer from.

Armorhide... well, I've already got that mold, but if I see it in the store and it grabs me, I'll probably snag it. Wish he had a new head, though, the "hockey goalie" head was one of the few things about that mold I didn't like.

Why couldn't have Hasbro/Tomy used that Dirge mould before. So much better. Gawd!

I don't like how Dirge's missiles are attached to his legs, aiming at his armpits. Seems like a huge waste of otherwise good weapons.

Dirge looks very interesting. I am surprised HasTak made Dirge a Harrier-like-thing, I would have thought the Eurofighter Typhoon was begging to be Dirge. I am looking forward to better pics and maybe a video review. If the style is not too movie-like and I can mod the rockets onto it's arms I may pic it up since I am too poor to buy Henkei Dirge.

Oooo...OOO... I do! And I will look forward to Slingshot as well! I think this mold looks very interesting.

You mean the spoiler? Its on all the Mudflaps I've seen.

Dirge is a definate get.
Repainting Landmine isn't a surprise, I was expecting them to do a NEST version of the armored buggy at some point. Which is fine, it's a good mold. I need another one anyways, the mold is the closest thing to a Roadbuster to go with Whirl.

IDK but that one looks like it goes out farther.

Dirge looks like a stealthy Harrier. I like it. I think the Eurofighter Typhoon would've been better, and this be a mold for Thrust instead. But it's still neat

Posted by munkimus prime on September 28th, 2009 @ 6:36am CDT

I did'nt get Landmine so I think I'll get Armourhide because he looks good. Dirge looks great and I won't be getting Mudflap. I'll be waiting for HA Mudflap.

Re: In Package Images of ROTF Dirge, Tuner Mudflap & Armorhide (1004251)
Posted by Counterpunch on September 28th, 2009 @ 7:46am CDT

So, Mudflap is the right color now, but with a big ugly tampograph on him.

Foiled again...

Looking forward to adding Armorhide

Same here. I think the cockpit thing should be on his chest, in my opinion. But it's one of the best molds I've seen in the ROTF line. :grin:

Today I acquired Dirge at Walgreens during my usual hunt for TFs. He is pretty small. The tip of his cone head comes up to Animated Ultra Magnus' waist. But he's still cool. Will try to post pictures soon. :mrgreen:

Picked up this nice little group at Wal mart a few days ago for $46 bucks total..I have to say that all of these figures just kick ass.. Ironhide is loaded to the teeth with weapons..Very fitting for his character..Bludgeon is just ridiculously badass..Dirge is truly one of the better figures this year and Armorhide has smooth transformation..All in all the Nest Global Alliance line is full of win..Oddly though I did not see Mudflap at 3 local wal marts...
