    Found these in the Transformers Botposting FB group. It says it is "presumably from the non-Studio Series line" for the film. More pictures are attached to the original post in the group!

    EDIT: If mods could please edit the thread title to say "Wheeljack and Nightbird" that would be great. Not sure we need separate threads.

    Why does he look like Ezra Miller wearing ski goggles?

    So they abandoned the great BBM design for...this.
    I guess we're back to nameslaps then.

    Edit: Nightbird looks okay, though there looks to be a whole lot of kibble going on there.

    Wow, that head looks terrible to me, even independent of the Wheeljack name. Figure itself seems good.

    Sweet design for Nightbird, though I would have been fine with a mostly black robot if it meant not having those gold parts in alt mode.

    I'm gonna turn that Nightbird into a Bayverse Shatter to go with 2007 Dropkick.

    Nightbird gives me Noisy Boy vibes.

    How the hell did Arcee, Bee and Optimus keep their heads (mostly) from the BB movie, yet Wheeljack can't?

    That's going to get confusing, especially considering that the non-SS Airazor looks better than the SS version.

    Yeah, it definitely could! I wouldn't necessarily say the non-SS Airazor looks better, both do things that I like and obviously the SS one definitely fits the movie style better, but it does look like a fun figure regardless and one I'll probably get.

    Meh, they went backwards from the BB movie design wise.

    They already have a design for the BB universe, why now Wheeljack is Ezra Miller cosplaying Steve Hurkel?

    Thoughts
    - Nightbird looks pretty good! Sure, she's not painted enough, but looks decent. I like the detailing as well. Really cool figure. A definite buy for sure. Car mode looks nice, it reminds me of the BMW in Need For Speed Most Wanted.

    - Wheeljack looks decent except for that headsculpt. I just don't like it. It just looks too nerdy in my opinion. I really wish he was wearing inventor goggles. I was also expecting him to look a bit like Masayoshi Shido from Persona haha.
    But yeah... van mode looks OK. Not bad, not terrible, not good, but just okay. Reminds me a bit of those dollar store knockoffs made of cheap plastic in multicolor variations.
