I'm pretty sure it's the Leader class.

i would agree if little chinese kids were really privy to images like these. for all we know it was taken so (smoking?) adult nerds can wank off to how in (or out-of)-scale ironhide is to the rest of his-her collection

I swear the Movie figures look like poop!
i cant beleive im saying this, as i hated the movie aesthetic from the get-go, but really? the designs have become much more refined over the years, and while i wont defend the mech-tech weapon gimmicks, i think the re(re-re-re-re in bumblebees case)-iterations of the first movie characters are pretty good.
not that im drooling over them, i still dont think theyre my cup of tea and wont buy except for the large HA and select leaders,(lookin at you Ironhide!) the movie was a huge milestone in the transformers brand IMHO so i wont ignore it.
if you notice, theyre taking on a more blocky appearance with the toys, and i think this is good for two reasons:
1. somebody correct me if im wrong, but hasbro reps thought the ROTF toyline was too complicated for kids, and so theyve made them a bit simpler this go-round. i think this is a step toward more classics-style toys
2. with the movie trilogy complete, all you have to sit through is just one more movie toy blitz, excellent conditions for fat wallet syndrome. more money for when CHUGRtS starts up again in full force!

I believe Crankcase took on the nickname "Dreads" because of his dreadlock like head tentacles. I don't think there was ever any intention of that actually being his name. The name Dreadbox is now being associated with the Ferrari.

Oh, right. Forgot, it was the Ferrari, not the Suburban. My bad. Also, other than Roadbuster, what were the names of the other two Wreckers?

The Lowes car is Topspin and the Target car is Leadfoot.

Ironhide looks promising. He'll be great for [reasonably] in-scale display with HA Bee and Jazz. Wish I had a pack of Chinese smokes to gauge his size.

From what i can tell, I'm pretty positive this is the leader class toy, just severely unfinished.
These pictures actually make me like Crankcase. Too bad the you never looks as good as the box portrays. I'll pick up the Wrecker, and Leader Ironhide.
I think the use of a new Deluxe mold for Ratchet was an extreme waste of plastic. I'm also not sold on bumblebee. Maybe I'll pick him up and do some part swapping with my BB 'Bee.
