    I thought he was Bludgeon for a moment.

    I was thinking that as well. Or could it be that they've finally got the budget to make a triple-changer version of him?

    With all these reveals, I am curious to know where Galavatron/Megatron is...time travel? On Cybertron? or his 'beast' mode is CGI again.

    At first the redesign, Was eh. But, It's slowly growing. Either way. I'm hoping to see a Megatron render. Or better yet, An Galvatron.

    Same.

    Looks like a dude wearing robotic samurai armor.

    It seriously looks like Silver Samurai from The Wolverine with a face.

    The humanoid thing has gone too far.

    "How will this affect his helicopter mode?"

    Well, there was zero explanation given for him even GETTING it, so I'd say they won't explain if he hasn't got it. But enough of the plot, here: look at this delicious Chinese soft drink! ;)

    I believe this is an early concept art where altmode is a AMG GT S (like this one: http://blog.caranddriver.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/2016-Mercedes-AMG-GT-S-114.jpg) so this may not mean a red Drift. I still believe it will look like Red Goblin's fanart.
    And also Mercedes seems too much interested in TF frenchise, we had two licenced MB figure in DOTM line which may not mean an AOE Deluxe repaint but all MB licensed figures.

    I wonder if this film has a new designer on board, gong with Hot Rod whose design is so much different to Drift and the AoE cast.

    I see the same guy from the lasy movie, only painted red and with a couple panels changed and a mercedes emblem now. How is this any worse than last time? (other than black probably looking better?)

    Huh...the red actually works. Not the exact colours I wanted (I was hoping for RID colours) but this works.

    Yeah, first thing I thought when I saw it. There's no way he'd lose so much black and gain so much red... Or at least there shouldn't be lol

    He looks no different kibble-wise from AOE, so I don't know why people are just suddenly noticing this.

    Would've thought they'd make an entirely new figure seeing that he has an entirely different alt mode. That's what they've done in the past even if there's only a slight change in alt mode or they're not even in the movie anymore.

    So lemme get this straight....

    Hot Rod's robot mode color scheme matches Drift's vehicle mode color scheme. Drift's robot mode color scheme? MORE RED-ORANGE THAN HIS CAR MODE EVEN HAS ON IT (His Mercedes mode in the set pics is all black with red-orange highlights).

    Now Drift's picture looks much more like concept art than Hot Rod's does, so hopefully this means Hot Rod will look different as well and these pics are just concept art and the color scheme for Drift (and Hot Rod as we haven't seen his lambo mode) will reflect the vehicle mode in the movie. But god damn, Drift is more Hot Rod colored right now than Hot Rod.

    I'm not convinced the Hot Rod design is final either. It literally has parts taken from Lockdown in the exact same places and on his forearms and crotch/pelvis.

    it annoys me greatly that he still has the W16 engine block from the Vayron on the back while being a Mercades GT R

    I as hoping for a more updated robot mode, similar to how bee and optimus did last movie, but going by this I'd say Hound is likely to also just be a CG model reuse with slightly adjusted kibble.

    The red is nice but honestly I think the original concept of the black with orange trim worked the best for him. Ive been trying to look at pictures of the Mercedes and I can't work out whether the colour is closer to a red or orange trim? Hopefully the toys go more towards the orange, especially if Hot Rod's gonna be sporting the red as well.

    Obviously these art reveals aren't final. To me, he's to red/orange to only have a strip of that colour along the bottom of the vehicle. Add more black and a little bit of change to his build and I'll take it!

    That's old art as well, he's still got the W16 engine block on his back from the Bugatti Veyron!

    They've only ever really done that with Optimus and Bumblebee, and that was only to refresh them after have no more or less the same look throughout three movies. Even Megatron, who had three distinct alt modes, kept the same basic robot form, just with different vehicle parts. Same with Mudflap when he changed from Trax concept to Spark (at least as far as we can tell from the toy).

    Yeah I didn't think it made sense for a mostly black alt mode to have a fully red robot mode. So hopefully this designs will change in time.

    Interested in seeing his copter mode too. Maybe they'll mention Drift's time as a Con in a deeper context rather than just in passing this time around. Since they're finally facing real Decepticons in TLK, his past definitely should come into play more, or at least that's my hope.

    Not before a 5-minute long scene of Lennox chugging a keg of Bud Light. :D
