It looks like they'll be doing most of the Throttlebots along with B and Cliff, cause like, behind Cliff and Goldbug's heads you can see the noggins of Searchlight, Freeway, and I think Chase, not sure about the other heads on the right, they look exactly like B's.

Looks more like a Toyota, I think.
If it ends up being as small as the Bumblebee I'm not really interested.

Rather large square chest and overall blocky appearance is a bit of a turn off. I'm quite happy with Classics Cliffjumper so won't bother with this, but should they do all the Throttlebots with unique alt-modes then I'll certainly bite.
Given PP-05 is voyager size then I'll hazard a guess that this might just be deluxe. Looking at their proposed run of MiniWarriors I really wish they'd stay consistant regarding size. Oh well.

I'd pick these guys up as MP versions of the characters, Bumblebee & CJ that is, if they are scaled right. I have no need for a MP Hubcap or Bumper. I'm interested iGear, show me more.

iGear is tackling all of the minibots including Cosmos.

They're doing Cosmos too? man, if any Minibot deserves an update, it's him. Hope iGear's looks good.

A waste? I completely disagree. I want those other characters as much as anyone. But for many of us, those gaps that Hasbro won't (or can't) fill include a Volkswagen Bumblebee and a non-repaint Cliffjumper. Both of which will stand proudly right next to my Classics and WFC versions.

Cosmo got a great minibot update from Henkei and Universe.

I was thinking the same thing. I had Chase as a kid and he was cool (although would be a lot like Cliffjumper) and Freeway always looked cool...well, in theory. I'd be more inclined to get Goldbug as a VW rather than Bumblebee, since I've made do with Classics Bee for so long now, but don't yet have a Goldbug toy to guilt-trip any Ultra Magnus figures I get into throwing themselves into a volcano.
Too bad there's not yet been any hints at a 3rd party (or Hasbro) Wide Load update.
edit: the heads that look like Bee's could be Glyph, Bugbite and...someone else. Frank? Oooh, ooh, maybe they'll do a Wasp version? I'd prefer he had a new head, but I'd settle for a green and yellow BB repaint.

Since this is I-Gear the only company bold enough to rape hasbro for molds, I propose they use the classics Bumblebee skeleton and mold the correct car parts around it. Hiw hard could it be, They did it with legends bumblebee. Then I would buy it.
And in reference to the upcoming mini-bots coming out, this legends class size sucks. How about scout or deluxe ??? Get it right before CHMS jacks your molds and makes them the right size.
