"BOTCON 2011 MYSTERY: We've already shown you the Dead End (Jazz redeco) slated for release at this years BotCon. Promoters have released a hint that supposedly gives insight into what the next figure in the set will be. The hint is "Axl Foley." Good luck!"
Good luck indeed. We know TF Animated took place in Detroit, Axl Foley was a character played by Eddie Murphy in the film franchise Beverly Hills Cop, who haled from Detroit, so that must mean............well I have no clue.

Which makes no sense as it isn't an Animated figure.

Being an 80's cop-action movie, Beverly Hills Cop had all kinds of 80's sports cars like Porsches and Ferraris.
This may be unrelated, as it has nothing to do with the Eddie Murphy movie, but a Google search for "Beverly Hills Cop Car" turned up this: http://www.lotpro.com/blog/2010/03/25/b ... s-cop-car/

1) The aforementioned Beverly Hills Cop. However, the character's name is off by one letter: It's "Axel", not "Axl".
2) Googling "Axl" gives us Guns 'N Roses bandmember "Axl Rose"
Eep, I think I know... A repaint of Soundwave as... Breakdown? Axel Foley bends the rules a lot, which is Sideswipe's trademark, Breakdown's vehicle mode equivalent. A stretch, I know. But Breakdown uses vibrations to cause mechanical failure around him, and sound is basically that. Axl is a guitarist, among other things, so that aspect totally fits.

I see where you're going with that, the only thing is that none of the original Stunticons were muscle cars.
Doesn't mean the new ones can't be tho'...

That is also workable. Nice idea.

Bots: G1 Bumblebee; Balance of Aerialbots(I have Air Raid)

Good food and good drink can do only half of what their excellent variations can.

1994, 2004 (unofficial) and 2010. That's a record. Which mold tho? Lockdown?

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Axel
That's interesting. Plus Axor is a remold of Lockdown in whatever the current line is.
But just to play this all out ....
Animated has the following unique car molds (not counting repaints/remolds):
Arcee
Blurr
Bumblebee (Deluxe and Hydrodrive)
Ratchet
Jazz (Already used)
Lockdown
Optimus (Deluxe, voyager and Cybertron)
Rodimus
Sentinel Prime
Soundwave
Swindle
Ultra Magnus
Wreck-gar
If we assume they will make all 5 stunticons, the Jazz mold is accounted for and Motormaster will be a Prime remold. Cut out other trucks, that leaves us with :
Arcee
Blurr
Bumblebee (Deluxe and Hydrodrive)
Lockdown
Rodimus
Soundwave
Swindle
If we then say Bee is too small to make a good stunticon, Arcee is too feminine a mold, and lump in swindle with the trucks we are left with:
Blurr
Lockdown
Rodimus
Soundwave
My guess is the last stunticons will be made from Blurr, Lockdown & Rodimus.
And to add to the guessing, I'll say:
Rodimus = Wildrider (since it has been done before)
Blurr = Brakedown (because another yellow repaint of Blurr would be silly)
Lockdown = Dragstrip (OK, I don't like this, he would make a better Brakedown)
Ok, those last 2 could go either way, but I would NOT buy the cheetor repaint if they make Blurr into Dragstrip.
So guessing the next announcement will be a Lockdown repaint is a pretty safe bet.
Classics Magnus/Skywarp 2 pack MIB
Classics Devastator MIP
HA Sideswipe K-Mart exclusive color Loose
Currently looking for:
ROTF Target exclusive Sideswipe from the 2-pack
TFCC Punch/Counterpunch
Alternity Primes, silver & white versions
(opened is OK, to be used for customs)
PM If interested
