Not only are there obvious errors but there are random images of fan art used! And Rodiums what is that I don't even. My mind is full on boggled at that.

(I wonder if Swindle having an official existence makes that more or less likely...) Ultra Magnus would make a better Onslaught if they wanted to do the rest of the Combaticons Animated-style.

Given the comment regarding Transtech Cheetor, I could see Blurr as Breakdown and Rodimus as Wildrider (or vice versa). Which leaves Drag Strip. I'm thinking Arcee, given Lockdown is too big and Bumblebee the wrong shape. Motormaster could be Bulkhead, which makes more sense than yet another Black Optimus Prime redeco. Although there is a picture in the Almanac of a purple and black Optimus Prime... Wreck Gar could also be done. In any case, I'm sure he'll have a new face. But what about add-ons? I'm thinking Cliffjumper! Hoping for Slipstream and Ramjet! How about Kup from Sentinel Prime? Ironhide done up as Autoroller build figures? I drool!

Motormaster=Voyager prime or Magnus(in my dreams)
Dragstrip=lockdown, or bee
Wildrider=Blurr
Breakdown=Rodimus

If I had my way Dragstrip/would be Arcee and female in animated just cause I like Arcee’s alt mode best for a racer.
