Sister site TFW2005 has posted new images of new, upcoming Transformers from the Hunt For The Decepticons lineup. These deluxe figures are more than meets the eye however, as they may have been influenced by GI Joe designs! This is not the 1st time this has happened however, as Demolishor from Transformers Armada was reformatted into a Snow Cat in Transformers Energon.
When the name Tomahawk came up this year, it was used for the pilot of the Ghost HAWK from the GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra line. A neat twist, for the Modern Era Ghost Hawk pilot was Lift Ticket, pilot of the original Tomahawk! Before your head explodes, wait, there’s more.
The Tomahawk figure pictured here, transforms into a combat helicopter, and looks reminiscent of the Resolute Tomahawk designs. It’s not spot on, but it has influences from the original concept design, and final design in the animation. Not only that, but Terradive, is reminiscent of the Conquest X-30, even more so than Space Case of the Cyberjets. *Bear in mind, since Hasbro retains the use of the Tomahawk name by applying it for these figures, it may have been conveniently secured for use on future releases too..say..would you guys like to see the classic Tomahawk helicopter reissued, maybe retooled for GI Joe Renegades or Pursuit Of Cobra?* Hit the title bar to see more!

Hey, spring loaded missle launchers.
Shin Densetsu says
The guy who looks like Depth Charge has a fucking TRIDENT.
Troynos says
And the trident attachs underneath him in jet mode and looks to have a launching tip.
These are actually pretty cool looking.
Mr.Kane says
Damn!! These aren't bad at all.
gunslingercbr says
those look pretty awesome, but I don't see the Conquest similarity at all. even though the wings are pointing forward they are completely different than the Conquest wings, and other than that the jets don't resemble one another at all.

I see coincidence more than I see inspiration. Still cool either way.
