I received an email today from a Hong Kong wholesaler who sometimes provides me with good Test Shots / Prototypes.  He is a reliable source in the sense that each time I have ordered from him, he has delivered.

 

The email was requesting whether I had interest in a "New Alt. Jeep" prototype.

 

I returned the email requesting pictures.  I do not have them yet, but will keep you posted.  This could be anything...even a bogus proto for something else.  He has been reliable thus far, but I deal with Chinese factories daily in my job and just like them, these guys are only as reliable as their latest success/failure.  I guess that goes for anyone, not just the Chinese.

If it's not Trailbreaker, I see a riot outside of Hasbro Headquarters.

Yeah, Trailbreaker or bust, baby! :D

Could also be the new Ironhide - he might be a small "jeep-like" SUV.

 

EDIT:  After looking at the TRU "mega" thread, I guess it might be a Swindle repaint to Trailbreaker - if the Mega pack turns out to be Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker.

Swindle with a roof and a maybe a couple little tidbits changed to make Trailbreaker? or maybe just a roof.?. That would be cool.

I'd be all over a jeep alt with a hard top! :thumb

well if we use Wheel jacks Bio as a clue it could be brawn

Except the toys are designed without any input from the author of the bio cards/BT story.  He just crams the new figures into the story as they are released.

Swindle and Hound had (relatively) decent distriubtion so they'll need to do something considerable to make this one sell.

 

Maybe it's a new mold?  Cherokee perhaps??/

Brawn as a Jeep Liberty.
