Our new figure is Generations Voyager Class JD Red Knight, a retool of Age of Extinction Generations Voyager Class Galvatron. This new figure has a new chest and head, and is very red. Sadly, the figure lacks any accessories, meaning it doesn't come with cannon and missile from the original release.
The figure itself has JingDong tampographs over the figure, along with a pretty well painted truck and robot mode. His bio says:
When the AUTOBOTS need backup, this bot delivers.
This is translates over to the super cool, rockin' 3D animated commercial released on their Facebook page. It features Lockdown fighting Bumblebee, who is low on energon, until Optimus Prime and JD Red Knight come to refuel him and save the day.
Clicking on the images below will bring you to the weibo page, and the toy will be available for purchase this coming October. The commercial can also be seen below the images. So what are your thoughts? Tell us in the Pub forums down below!

I'm a fan of the AoE voyager Galvatron mold. But seeing this retool and all that glorious RED make it even more desirable.
I do hope it will be buyable at a relatively reasonable price.

Robot mode ... meh ... reminds me too much of Stinger, but DAMN that alt mode! All that red looks really good on it.

Never bought Stinger. Maybe I should because he could be the "little brother"!

I know; even their head sculpts are similar.

This figure was due in October, and we can see that he is starting to make his way out to the public. This figure is an exclusive to JD itself.
Check out the new in-hand images below, and let us know what you think of this Red Knight in the comments section below!

That said I don't hate him, and if I somehow end up owning one I'd be tempted to headcanon him as a man-made TF built by KSI at the behest of the Chinese government. He goes rogue like the other KSI bots but due to his base programming and some bizarre twist of fate, his newly awakened personality is as red as his colour scheme and he becomes the leader of the "DeceptiCommunists", a group of disenfranchised Transformers with a decidedly Soviet outlook on life. Perhaps call him "Red Menace"?
