Chinese transformer website The-Arker has recently given us some new images for two upcoming Revenge of the Fallen releases, both belonging to the new N.E.S.T. Global Alliance sub-line. We had previously seen Decepticon Bludgeon in-box images but this is the first time we get similar Recon Ironhide ones. Now we can share his new bio:

Stalking through the jungles of Southeast Asia, Ironhide moves in absolute silence. The only sound is the dripping of the never-ending rain from the board leaves of immense trees. Yet he knows Decepticon Bludgeon is here somewhere, waiting for him. He has come to this verdant place to hunt the Decepticon martial artist and finish the job the other Autobots left undone. He has come to track and destroy a dangerous Decepticon warrior, once and for all.

This ties in neatly with Decepticon Bludgeon's previously seen boxback which read:

Decepticon Bludgeon was nearly destroyed by a fight with the metallikato master Autobot Whirl. Forced to retreat and hide, he scanned a new vehicle mode and disappeared into the southeast Asian jungle. He is desperate to prove himself against an Autobot, however, so he has caused just enough chaos locally to attract the attention of Ironhide. Now he lies in wait for the Autobot, ready to spring his trap and destroy his victim in an instant.

Recon Ironhide is an extensive remold of the previous figure, replacing his roof, doors, and Road Armor front bumper, while adding new weaponry such as a minigun,knife, rifle, and a crossbow. Decepticon Bludgeon is an entirely new mold using a japanese Type 90 tank as its alt-mode.
