The-Arker.com have posted images of two upcoming Transformers Revenge of the Fallen voyager class figures, Mindwipe and Defender Optimus Prime from the N.E.S.T. Battles subline.
Below you will find the profiles for both of these figures.
Mindwipe
With the power to mesmerize other robots, MINDWIPE might be a match even for OPTIMUS PRIME. The Matrix of Leadership renders the Autobot leader immune, ut MINDWIPE has a host of other robots totally under his control. He stays safely in the air, while OPTIMUS PRIME struggles against a horde of hypnotized minions.
Defender Optimus Prime
Since the battle in Egypt, OPTIMUS PRIME has outfitted himself with the gear he needs to take out airborne opponents. Unfortuanately, MINDWIPE attacks on two fronts, taking cheap shots at the AUTOBOT from the air, while his hypontized flunkies assualt him on the ground. OPTIMUS PRIME struggles desperately, searching for a way to take out MINDWIPE without harming any of the innocents he's brainwashed.
The-Arker has posted some new in-packaging images of two Transformers Animated figures that were first shown at Botcon 2009. The toys are Cybertron Mode Ratchet and Arcee. Both figures will be Toys R Us exclusives within the US. You can view the profiles and Galaactic Powers of both figures below.
Deluxe Cybertron Mode Autobot Ratchet
Back when the war was at its worst,
even the Autobots who weren't programmed to fight were called into
battle. More than once, Autobot Ratchet was forced out onto the
battlfield not just as a medic, but as a warrior. They're not memories
he likes to recall, but he learned more than one lesson that has saved
his life in the years since.
Galactic Powers & Abilities
* Injured Autobots often request him as their medic.
* Specializes in modifying armor and weapons to peak conditions.
* When forced to fight, usually shoot to disable, instead of destroy.
Deluxe Arcee
Arcee has dedicated her life to the
power of information. As a teacher, she saw to it that young Autobots
all learned the value of the facts, and how to tell truth from lies.
During the war, she turned her dedication to the truth to carrying data
for the Autobot High Command, often from deep behind enemy lines. She
will face any danger to defend what is right, no matter what the cost.
Galactic Powers & Abilities
* One of the top sword fighters on Cybertron
* Modified to make rocket-powered jumps in car mode.
* Encrypted memory core is nearly impossible to hack.
