How did they not manage to get the whites to match between those two...

I like Prowlstreak slightly more than Prowlswipe, but yeah, those dudes do look pretty cool.

Right, is that it? Is that all the G1 and pre-G1 variants out of their system? Can we start hoping for repaints of that mold in G2 Go-Bot or Spychanger colours now?

I've been wanting a translucent Crosswise out of that mould forever...

I've been waiting for reprolabels to crank out a REV conversion set for Tigertrack since he was announced. I'm getting the feeling that isn't in the cards.
The irritating thing is we're painfully close to having a complete set of molds for a decent set of spychangers.
Kingdom Sideswipe for REV, Siege Swipe for Crosswise.
ER Trailbreaker for Ironhide, and Kingdom Mirage for Mirage.
SS86 Jazz or Legacy Knockout can work for Hotshot in a pinch.
Which leaves Wars.
Every "Fold the front end down for the chest" in the last several years have exclusively been sideswipe updates. And I believe that gobot/spychanger mold was the last time a nascar appeared in a non-movie line.
So not only is there not a halfway decent robot mode match for him, there's not even an approximate match for his alt mode.

I'm not sure if being stood too close to in the Gents loo means that I automatically die.

I like that box, but it looks like the KOs in B&M etc.

Packaged in alt mode! As Transformers should be!!!
It does look like a KO box though, I agree.

Ah, there he is, Road Hauler, looking exactly like he didn't in his sole cartoon appearance. (Yes, I know.) Still, it's what we're expecting, so good to see the rumours confirmed.
And yeah, my first thought was also that these boxes look like knock-offs. I think it's a combination of the font style that's used for the "Velocitron..." text, and the fact that the artwork on the packaging is... minimal... and there's a reliance on product photos instead. We can only hope that someone gets confused as a result of this packaging and they end up in Poundland over here...

Hauler has an angry face, so I suspect he's not happy about being green either.
