I think he'll be blue, like the upcoming voyager Offroad Ironhide from the Allspark Power line. Especially since FAB Brawl got repainted into Desert Brawl, thus representing the normal line's Deep Desert version.

G1 colors seem likely for Prime -- in which case I may pounce on this guy -- but Ironhide is a mystery to me. Will they do him in the classic red? One can only hope...

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Smokescreen being a Bumblebee recolor.

The Nokia-bot got enough screentime to support a toy, there's plenty of wiggle room for designing the X-box 360 robot that we never saw, and a steering wheel and a Mountain Dew machine would cetainlybe new and different. Don't lie, you'd buy a Dew-bot.
I understand why there are redecoes... I just wish the movie line could support some more molds so they could get stuff into it like Shockwave, Mixmaster, Scrapper, and the Chevy Autobots. There's plenty of stuff in the video games, sponsor stuff, etc., that deserves a chance in plastic.

Mold costs.
And sure, many many many people would buy a Dewformer, but seriously who would buy a Steering Wheel-former, and why buy a Nokia-bot when there are the Real Gear phones?
