    Definitely not a Deluxe or Voyager.
    I do remember seeing that stock photo before, too... or at least that toy.

    Doesn't look particularly 'Lamborgini' which is weird, seeing how TakTom have a Lambo license now.

    Isn't this the flip-and-change fig?

    I don't recall seeing this one, and I looked up the one-step changer -- it's totally different. This is comparatively way more detailed, to say the least. Again, I can't be sure because ther'es nothing in the original post to indicate what it is, and I personally at least haven't seen this image before. But comparing it to the Generations figures we've seen from the movie, it certainly fits the aesthetic of lots of kibble and not-so-great articulation. I mean, look at Voyager Galvatron. If I didn't know it was a Voyager, I'd thing it was an oversized KO RPM or something.

    It's a Lamborghini Aventador; it's actually pretty accurate.

    Maybe? I don't even remember that line, so it's possible. I just didn't get the vibe of a simplified figure from this. It's certainly possible and maybe even likely that I'm wrong, in which case mods can feel free to shut the thread down.

    I could swear this was the Flip and Change.

    Ehhh, it looks EXACTLY like a Deluxe. Remember, they've "simplified" everything now, so given the fact that Leader Optimus looks like a blown up Legends, this definitely fits the bill for a shrunken down Deluxe fig. Too much going on there to be anything smaller or simpler like a Flip & Change.

    That thing was on display at Toy Fair. It's Flip & Change Lockdown. Not to be confused with 1-Step Lockdown.

    Poor parents this summer... Good luck trying to tell the difference between all this random AOE stuff!

    Am I the only one seeing the big sore-thumb hinge trying to Masquerade as a side mirror?

    If this isn't a 1-step then this line just got even worse, which I couldn't imagine happening. Blatant shell former while looking completely awful in all aspects.

    Well I stand corrected. I misremembered the F&C being much simpler.

    I remember his flip-change toy looking particularly good.

    I don't see a whole lot of jointing (especially in the lower body) so I'm inclined to say it's the flip-change.

    Yeah this was my bad, as I didn't remember the flip change line at all and knew it definitely wasn't a one-step. Is this at least a new image? I don't recall if we saw official images of those, but we probably did. Oh well.

    Personally I think it actually looks pretty decent, considering it's basically a glorified Activator.

    could be you're thinking of the other one-steppers.

    there's like three one step lines actually... flip change, the ones where you smash them down to transform them and whatever this lockdown is from.

    The Flip change, ones where you smash them down them down and this Lockdown are all the same line.

    The Second line is the one step line, which includes the majority of the simplified toys and that giant grimlock.

    Third line is the power attacker line, where every toy has a spinning or swinging gimmick

    Even for a simple toy this looks ok.

    It also looks like the middle of the chest might flip out to become gun head......maybe.

    I honestly thought that this was a generations effort, so now I'm interested to see what they come up with now.
