I found this earlier whilst rooting round ebay, from a HK seller, so most likely a KO but interesting that they are ahead fo teh game if it is KO

Nice find! It's not necessarily a KO; in fact, it's probably NOT a KO. New figures are often leaked onto eBay before their release. In fact, often our first look at a new figure comes from eBay listings like this.
Notice that it's loose. If it were a KO, it would probably be packaged in KO packaging. The fact that it's loose is another clue that it was smuggled out of the factory or was a demo version from a toy show or something.
Also, it just seems very unlikely that anyone would KO this figure.

The photo they use was taken from a convention of some kind where it was displayed. I don't remember seeing this at BotCon, so it might have been somewhere else. But that's how they display toys at conventions. Glass case, nameplate. Having said that, this is a pass for me anyway even when it comes out in stores.

the leaked/early released items always seem to sell for way higher than regular retail because you get people who are very antsy and must have the item the moment they see it.
If he's anything like TFA Rodimus and Generations Blurr and Kup he'll be hard to find for a month or so, then he'll be everywhere... at least that was the case with the stores around me.

The bid is already gone, so I can't see pics.
Just curious, was it actually the Wheeljack repaint due next year or the movie version Que?

This picture was taken at NYCC 2011.

Que. Probably a stolen sample, which happens all too often, sadly.

What is he carrying there? Is it a round work table and a three-legged stool? Nice to see he takes his work space with him.

They're still there, you just need to scroll down a bit.
