Classics Jazz?

Do you have more pics?

Smokescreen?

Kickass. I like this.


...Drift perhaps?

for comparison:



It's not totally there, but I do see similar elements. I really do like this a lot. Maybe there's a bit of Getaway in it as well.

Jazz?
No, it couldn't be...

classics jazz would be the balls!

no thats it, just the one pic of each, not my pics

Vehicle mode of the red one looks like Universe Legends Rodimus. Seriosuly, it does. Hope it's Jazz, too.

Have no idea about the grey dude.

Looks like a classics...

Interesting to say the least, first thing that came to mind was Armada Hot Shot.

Windcharger with a spoiler this time?

Lockdown comes to mind, but it's not him. Looks like it could either be RotF or Classics/Universe, though I think it's more likely to be RotF. Rodimus/Hot Rod maybe? Would be really cool if it was Side Burn. Drift also comes to mind. Jazz would be really cool, especially if this turns out to be a Classics/Universe figure.

The second one definitely looks like a scout class figure. Look's Cybertronian too. A different angle would have been nice for this one.

Edit: GenZhao has a good point. Compared to the cable in the shot, the red car looks like it's more likely a Scout class figure. Another Stunticon maybe?

The one thing that seems odd, imo, if this is a Scout, is the translucent windshield, windows, and headlights. That cable could also be larger than we think it is.

I'm mystified by the grey one, but for the red one I would bet on Jazz or Wheeljack. Whoever it is, I like what I see so far!

im actually thinking based on the cable size behind it that the red one is a scout class toy, legends seems a bit small, but someone else can think about it using what is in the picture as a comparison

y'know it definitely does.

It'd be strange to do a Hot Shot figure so soon after the Universe figure, but if they want to shoehorn him into the movieverse, this would be a fine choice. Looks very fresh and sleek.

Everyone who's saying Jazz, come on, the shape is all wrong. And look closer, the joins don't seem to indicate a Jazz-like transformation scheme.

Looks like deluxe to me. My bet is a classics Tracks or Jazz!

The grey one is weird though. What the hell is that?

Perhaps that's just a really big cable?

No?

It'd be funny if they weren't even tf's.

But then again, is that a head i see behind the windshield?

And as for legends speculation, how many have had translucent parts?

I can't remember any.

Bumblethumper may be onto something. Sure looks Driftish. The timing seems off for that, though.

most interesting i will watch these molds closely

But the power strip makes me say Deluxe though.

I hope the red proto is Classics Jazz.

I'd say the red one is Scout class. Something to bear in mind is that it doesn't look to me like the hood is close properly (look at the lower front, it doesn't look like it's in place), so the hood might well be flat rather than having a raised section.

I wanna say Jazz, but Drift would probably be a little more logical at this point unless thats a really really early prototype for Classics 3.0

Kup for the grey one?

Actually I think you're right... If it were a Universe Jazz (and it at all resembled the G1 transformation, which most Universe figs do) it would probably not have a hood that split down the middle like that. A split like that strikes me as "legs".... so I'm sticking with Wheeljack. Or Tracks. Or both, sharing a mold.

Eh, we'll probably all be wrong, and it'll be Movie Runamuck or something.

Ooh, that's a good thought! It does sort of look like a futuristic version of an old 1940's truck.... a good compromise that would capture Kup's futuristic styling as well as his "old-timer"-ness.

We'll see, I guess!

The "NOT FOR SALE" text looks a bit big for scout, I think.

I'm betting that the red one is Drift. No idea about the gray one, though.

The grey one is strange.

It doesn't really look all that much like anything. Cybertronian mode, probably, but it doesn't really fit with the movie look. Kup is a reasonable suggestion. Something about it at the front also makes me think of a racecar like Mirage for some reason. I could even see this as a re-imagined Bulkhead.

I'm just gonna throw out the suggestion that maybe these are from the next big Transformer Show!

Get s'more pics from your "supplier" or whoever got this for you.

I'm thinking Wheeljack. The wind scoop thing above the windshield looks like a more exaggerated version of the G1 Wheeljack. Plus the split hood, fin, shape of the windshield and door windows has a similar feel to G1 Wheeljack. Just sayin'.

That's funny. I'm thinking Arby's. huh.

I'm not saying it is a Legends, just teh vehicle mode looks liek it's based off teh same design as Rodimus, with an obviously different transformation.

The clear windows and clear headlights most of all tell me Deluxe.

Maybe that's it.

Don't know what it is, but it's interesting to speculate.

The gray one looks like a Cybertronian Optimus Prime. Transtech?

The red one could be Drift.

i guess just wait and see

Interesting. The car itself looks pretty sleek.

I'd be all over that if it's drift or Jazz. Can't wait to see more!
The grey one looks very WWI or Transtechy, not sure who it could be. But it looks intriguing nonetheless.

Jazz!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG.... faints*

Likely to be ROTF Wheeljack - Hasbro did mention that they had 'current plans' for an update of Wheeljack when asked in the previous rounds of Q&A's - some thought this meant an Animated WJ but that's not coming to pass so perhaps they did indeed mean an ROTF figure for Wheeljack.

It's highly unlikely we'd be seeing toys for a show not due till later next year at this stage, we've still got about a years worth of ROTF to get through first.

The grey one however - i'm completely stumped on that.

I'd love to have a Classics Jazz, but my gut's telling me it's Classics Drift. Phooey.

It could definitely work for Wheeljack. I'd been hoping the promised Wheeljack figure would be more distinctively Wheeljack, but that's always a longshot. You never get exactly what you want. Compared to the Lancia Stratos original, this seems kinda generic.

Another guess is this could be a dual purpose mold like the reversible Universe Sideswipe/Sunstreaker mold. Designed with similar but different characters in mind. At the very least I imagine this will be repainted into probably some of the characters already listed. So maybe we're all right. Hopefully they've planned for the inevitable repaints with alternate head designs.

Because they're gonna repaint the hell outa this.

cool pics, looks like 2010 will be a great year

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but could they be Crossover TFs?

Then again, for the red one, the pic Bumblethumper posted begs to differ.

i think from looking at the red car it could possibly be all 3 of the most popular suggestions ive seen really being drift, wheeljack and tracks. hasbro loves repaints and the mold and aparent transformation scheme would work for all 3 of them.

im pretty sure its not jazz just from the transformation scheme. am excited to see what it is

Im saying its Jazz except its looking like the front end splits open. I do hope its a classic im missing them hands down these days even though Bludegon and Dirge from the fallen line look worthwhile. Im wondering if the sec pic will be KUP, Blur or if the tales that the new toon is Cybertronian based and its a test shot.

Red guy's obviosuly not Jazz. Hasbro wouldn't split the front of the car like that for him.

Don't think it's HA, because of the size, and because the outline of the door would be better defined. It doesn't look like the door opens...

The real question here is: why in the hell didn't they just take pics of the goddamn robut modes?

And how anyone is getting ol' Jazz out of the red one is beyond me. That hood clearly splits up the middle.
