This speaks volumes about the art style. The current form is a muddled mess. At this point, I'd take Wildman over Don's movie-verse style. His alternate covers have looked nice. Look at the Wreckers comic. Why can't IDW stick with that style? That's beautiful work there (both art and writing).
I agree, we should be able to tell which of the characters this is supposed to be without debate. I guess since he is not running in fear, we can assume it's an Autobot. Since Sandstorm was in the list of names of bots in issue #1 (I think), it definitely would make sense to be him, but having it be Dragstrip works too. Dragstrip, however, is moer Mirage like, and has 2 wheels per forearm, so I guess he's out.
My best guess is Scoop (heavy tire on his shoulder), but the picture lacks the orange, and Scoop doesn't have a helmet.
Or maybe Sureshot?
Maybe he's Erector? Is there a full body shot of him or just that one we have here? Cos if there is look at his crotch maybe we can tell it's Erector....

This art style still needs the nametags.
And to think we kept making fun of them for using them every two pages, so idw does seem to have some thought left from the pre AHM times.
