Thanks. I had only seen it via the DEEPLY IRRITATING Internet Practice of folk posting an image without any mention of the source.

She never wanted a Transformer before (though she does own a Bot Bot). She is not a toy collector. She is more of a Crafter.

THAT JUST MAKES IT WORSE!!!
Mine's a crafter, but she does not even entertain the very CONCEPT of Action Figure purchasing let alone collecting!!!

I wonder if there are any TF fans out there who have safeguarded their plastic robots by way of a prenuptial agreement. You'd imagine that somewhere in the world someone has done it...

They should name this figure "Incestor"! But they won't, it'll be Fluxamus Prime or something...

Really hoping this is an original mold unlike Ecto-1. Will give them much more freedom in the design.

We've seen Ectotron, and that was OK. There's another Movie crossover toy leaked and that looks good.
My money is on a reshell of Sideswipe, Sunstreaker or Wheeljack

I'm just hoping it comes in a G1-style 80's box like Electron did. That was a huge attraction to me.

Am I recalling right from the Saturday chat that we expect this revealed this week? You are though I can't find a statement from Hasbro to that effect. Interesting that BTTE may be a deluxe! Makes it a bit more affordable for some folk. I baulked at the £50 asking price for Ectotron when I was only keen on one of the modes. -Ralph |

If he's a deluxe, then I'd really like another go at Ectotron that's also scaled for classics. (Probably siege hound or ER arcee would work as bases) |

A deluxe might not be too far out of scale with Ecto-1. I'm pretty sure a Delorean would be significantly shorter and a bit narrower, could be a good call from that point of view.

Can't believe they didn't call it "Incestor" or "Lovepower". Cowards.

Okay, I can't think of a figure that we know of that matches that description.
Sideswipe has door panels that could replicate gull wings after heavy retooling. But the chest is the front of the car, and the flux capacitor would end up on the back, or legs.
Everything I know that would put the FC on the chest, couldn't replicate the gull wings. Meanwhile, everything that can, ends up with the FC on the back or legs.
There are the possibilities I can think of-
1) New, or as of yet unrevealed mold
2) Sideswipe turned backwards (front of car are now legs)
3) Heavy retool of Chromia
4) It's a studio series base. I'm not as familiar with that line.
5) They're going further back than we're expecting (even then, struggling to think of a mold that works right for this description)

Fake Flux Capacitor, I suspect. It's between the seats on the inside, isn't it? I haven't watched BTTF in decades...

If its as heavily remoulded as Ectotron it could be anything. CW Dead End for example could have the doors hinged to the roof panel and the Flux Capacitor could be attached/replaced the combiner port which would allow it to sit in the back of the car in car mode but flip through to the chest in robot mode.
