Pete@BotCon has posted this gem over in the Club Forums. It appears to be CGI redo of the opening of the G2 cartoon, to help get the fandom pumped for the "G2 Redux" theme of this year's set.

Maybe you should change your name to GEETWO so you can go.

After this, G2 Ramjet had BETTER be in there!

Hope that counts both as G2 Ramjet and Slipstream.

Agreed, I want that figure! Whether it's Ramjet, Slipstream, Starscream, whatever. I don't care. I want it!

I was expecting something that actually had to do with the events or dealer room. This video doesnt show a first timer anything about the convention to hype him up. It would make a nice intro for a cartoon series though.

Want me to get pumped? lemme register dammit and give you my mOneyZ!!!!!!!

G2 Ramjet looks alot like Darkwind

After taking a good look at this commercial the first thing I noticed was that Ramjets wings were upside down. I then noticed that he looks strangely like the Smokejumper mold from the RID Dreadwind/Smokejumper set that was sold at Target. This leads me to believe that we might actually see Ramjet released as half of that mold. I am also predicting that we will see some form of Optimus Prime as an add on figure.

Could be. Otherwise it's Classics Ramjet with a Starscream head and there was a mistake in the animation.

And having looked at the commercial again, I dunno if that's the case...

We don't make animation "mistakes". The original spot was sans-conehead and upside down wings. It was a tough call knowing the original was "incorrect" and wondering if it should be "corrected", but to stay true to it, those elements remained in that configuration.

Please don't take it the wrong way, just wanted to reassure people it was not an oversight/mistake.

Nothing wrong with that. We cool.

Now that I think of it though, I wouldn't mind too much seeing how a C-Ramjet would come out if he had been retooled with Screamer's head.

I would spell it GEETOO because the spelling is purposfuly mispelled but it still is pretty clever
