Yeah, the top row is fairly obvious. The bottom not in the slightest. I remember someone teasing that there'd be an orange dune-buggy (so that'd be Sandstorm) but the rest I'm drawing a blank on.

The motorcycles could be the "Collectors" (aka the Junkions) they teased a long while back. They were also in Protector's story, if I remember corectly.

I heard the Wreck gar homage was done for, but that the other two were still good.

Decided to pass on this when I first saw the "carrier" mode.

Then this was posted.

I think that comes from one of the later season shots of Broadside. It might be the last seasons of G1 here in the US or the Headmasters series from Japan. I remember seeing the red head, but I just cannot remember where. A quick Google Images search shows a screenshot with Ultra Magnus that I remember, which states it comes from Carnage in C-Minor. I believe that was G1 Season 3 in the US:

You sure? Because the big yellow one looks like Roadbuster, & The 2 green ones look like Rack'n'Ruin.

If Fansproject decides to make a Rack'n'Ruin figure that will kick soooooo much ass. Also Roadbuster I guess

Yeah, you're probably right. I didn't have a big screen when I originally saw this image. Looks like RB and maybe the motorcycle bots-the characters in the sprue that Assulter comes with.

I dont remember this image. Must be Headmasters, but Im not 100 percent sure. I keep trying to watch Headmasters but those lousy voice actors and weak storylines really kill the mood.

Nope, It's Carnage in C Minor, a G1 season 3 episode.

Broadside was shown with two heads in the G1 cartoon; that red one I think was only used once, then replaced with the white helmet which he kept throughout the rest of his G1 and later appearances.

TFWiki wrote:Broadside has the distinction of having two animated character models, one based on a prototype toy that apparently went just short of production for some reason, and one based on the actual toy. The prototype design—which could be seen in a European toy catalog, at right—was rendered in animated form only in "Carnage in C-Minor" and the commercial for the 1986 Triple Changer toys, where it featured a different color scheme that appeared to be derived from the actual finished toy (lacking the prototype toy's blue). The prototype design also appeared in the 1986 package art mural, and was consistently used for Broadside's Marvel Comics appearances, colored to resemble the prototype toy, blue and all. The second model, based on the finished toy, appears in "Grimlock's New Brain" and "The Burden Hardest to Bear".

Well, that's a relief, the red face seems to be behind a movable faceplate. However, there are some other differences like the paint details vs. white parts and the feet. What's up with that and which one are we getting as the final product?

Edit: Unless...this is showing the two robot modes? I can see how some parts would move to get one or the other. If so... sweet.

I think you're right. It looks like the waist or the legs can rotate or panels can flip away or something.

Which means... cool!

Looks like one mode's intended for ranged fire and the other for close combat. Love it.

Not a HUGE fan of the rage face... but I'm sure in-hand, it'll grow on me.

The Helmet can be moved up to reveal the red face.
The legs are turned around to show the stripes or the base color
The plane canopy is turned around from clear blue to opaque white.
The flight deck is basically the blasters that can also be wielded as axes.

One bot, 5 versions.

I like the plane and bot mode, but disappointed with the carrier mode. The figure has a lot of potential but not sure why the creators couldn't figure out a better carrier mode, unless this was the look they were trying to achieve from the start.
