Smaller figures look very cartoony compared to bigger movie figures because there's not enough room for the details. Example: FABs
BTW, I don't think it's Motormaster, it looks too much like an autobot (blue eyes, not a sharp corner
)

NOW THAT I FINALLY GOT A GOOD LOOK AT THE ROBOT MODE I THINK HE IS JUST OK. HE LOOKS LIKE HE BELONGS IN THE UNIVERSE LINE. I ALWAYS LIKE CONSISTENCY, SO I PREFER THE NEW MOVIE CHARACTERS TO KEEP THE "BUG LIKE" LIMBS AND FACES THAT WERE USED IN THE FIRST MOVIE. THE DEAD END FIGURE GOES GOOD WITH THAT CONCEPT. I WOULD HOPE TO SEE PAYLOAD OR SWINDLE (RED CAR) USED IN THE MOVIE CAUSE THEY LOOKED SO COOL HAVING JUST ONE EYE AND NO FACE. NO FACIAL EMOTION GIVES A WARRIOR LOOK. THIS GUY LOOKS TOO FRIENDLY

When I took my first look, the split second reaction was Cybertron Primus. Maybe it was the head, I dont know. Its not obviously.

His chest reminds me of Sixshots. I think these are Movie Activators.

By the paint scheme it looks like a mobile Red Bull kiosk. Once in a while I see weird looking vans and trucks all decked out in crazy paint jobs and body mods to promote their energy drinks. I cant tell remotely what that bot supposed to be, but by the face it looks like a decepticon.

Well, now looking at the clearer images, It doesn't have a typical movie decepticon face, So If it is a movie toy, it's an autobot. Most likely another character not even in the movie.
And looking deeper, it has to be a movie toy. It obviously not an animated Figure. And it's too simple a figure to be from The Classics Line. And Recent Hasbro reports say that they are gonna start focusing on just those three Lines, Movie, Animated, and Classics, and that even classics line is gonna be taking a bit of a back seat, so......

I thought the same thing!
The headsculpt is pretty nice, and it is good to see the shoulders transformed correctly also. Not sure if I am going to buy it yet though...

The logo is remarkably reminiscent of Red Bull. Perhaps this is their stand-in for it, as the actual movie character IS a Red Bull-deco vehicle. Hasbro would be, understandably, reluctant to sell a vehicle with an actual logo on it, since they would have to pay royalties to the copyright holder.
Gone are the days when you could flagrantly plaster a toy with logos (like G1 Wheeljack) and get away with it...

For everyone pondering whether it is an autobot or decepticon, I would have thought the Autobot symbol on the frontof the truck would give a fairly good indication

Very impressive. I really like his design, and the colors are awesome. Though he could use more paint in some bland areas. Truck is pretty cool. I can see him being called Overload, don't ask why it just seems fitting. I'm really glad the scouts are back, and not only as repainted previous figures.
TF2's toys so far look alot better than TF1's figures. In this guy I see the color factor of them being better. The colors are brighter, bolder, and more varied. Instead of just faded brown, green, blue, were seeing neat colors on these guys and a good variety in each figure.

I only wish he were bigger. Hopefully, there'll be an oversized KO version that I can put with oversized KO Wrecker Hook.
Am I the only one who likes Payload and Armada Sideswipe?

I like Payload a lot. He's got a unique transformation and look, and I actually have fun with the claw gimmick--it's great for holding Bumblebee out over a cliff

Sideswipe is the bomb! Vehicle mode is slick, and great mini-con placement!
