Well, they aren't the painted figures, but they are officially on
Hasbro's site.
Sunstreaker, Prowl, Tankor, Powerglide and Onslaught as unpainted prototypes including comments concerning the creation.

This is great! But I thought they were only going to be shown in the club magazine?

The club has the painted version.
Btw, note the date. It's older than the Sunstreaker Club image.
And while we are at it, the link to the
Universe section itself.

WOW. loving the proto's Sunstreaker Looks totally amazing.
I'm totally digging Prowl. and Octane, sorry Tankor, man you can't even tell he's really a triple changer in any mode. Well maybe in robot mode.
Powerglide looks really nice.
Onslaught reminds me more of Groundhsaker's base's vehicle mode.
But still very nice.
It looks Like Suntreaker's and Prowl's wrists can rotate very nice detail there. Very cool.
Can't wait for these to be released.
I'll skip most of Animated and wait for these.

Wow, these look brilliant - that Sunstreaker looks better than the first images we saw.
Onslaught looks fantastic, as do Prowl and Tankor.
Powerglide might have to grow on me a bit.

Interesting that Sunstreaker looks about eleventy billion times better in that photo than in the exclusive one folks got so worked up about. Note to Hasbro: It's been 20 years. You KNOW the line is popular. Please let someone who knows what they're doing transform the damn toys for promotional photos.
They all look so good. Octane is going to make Astrotrain look even worse than he is. Powerglide looks like a fantastic update of the character in both modes, as does Prowl. Just hope Prowl's shoulder launchers are removable. Not totally sold on Onslaught's vehicle mode, but I'll still buy him. That's one of the most impressive lineups I've seen since... well, Classics 1.0.

That's ironic, they pay $40 to see sunstreaker first and just a few days later everyone gets to see the rest at the same time.

Now those are good looking toys, especially Prowl and Powerglide. Looking forward to seeing the finished products once they've gotten their full paints. Definitely buying these.

Sunstreaker looks A LOT better here than he did on TFCC. Tankor is a real mind blower. I think I might be picking most of these up, hah.

Wow! ok I may have been a bit hasty with my total hasbro ban...
Prowl, sunstreaker, Octane/tankor/whatever and onslaught are definately on my list. love that riot shield idea for onslaught.
they truly are getting better and better.

wow, exceeded my expectations. sunstreaker looks better here with his legs correctly transformed. onslaught alt mode is very unique, looks more like something that could be in TF animation, very cool.
