I dont know whether to love takara or hate them for letting these protos slip out so we can debate forever over name, color, amount of articulation, ect.

Maybe it will be Skids, because Skids was originally a Honda

I hope it's not Skids he was only in one G1 episode and had like two lines before he was smashed and dismantled.

I don't know, I don't think the red on the proto means anything. It's still in the prototype stage. I have no idea who he's going to be, or what his colors are. What I can tell (and most others have already pointed this out) is that the transformation scheme looks to be the same as Tracks, and that he looks very cool.

call him sparkplug!!!!!!

All I hope is that it comes out, I don't care what it is!

:eek ETGADS!!! his legs transform just like Sideswipe! I sure hope it has knee joints this time

 

Looks like he does to me... The black part probably pivots on that silvery pin thingy...Yes, that's the technical description.

 

Yeah i think you are right, Sideswipes "knee less" bot mode is an atrocity :tfevil

Sideswipe has knees

Colored like Blaster......it almost has a Hotrod look when you add the yellow though.

NOT hotrod, please, anything but him.

This is the first Alt that doesn't really do anything for me. Oh well, I said I'd buy em all...
