An exciting piece of Transformers: Age Of Extinction news just crossed the wire thanks to the ”Pop Wars” Instagram account. If you’re not into any sort of possible spoilers, such as possible character confirmations, be safer than sorry and skip the rest.
The one image we have from “Pop Wars” shows three characters, two of which are very recognizable as Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and the third character is mentioned as being

My bad. Didn't read back that far lol.

A pop figure might be good as a birthday present to one of my girlfriends.

Depends on how the final product looks. I might get an Optimus. Though I'm kinda hoping for a Grimlock.

The head is vaguely Drift-ish, so I guess he'll be faithful to his G1/IDW representation.
Dillatron
Is anyone actually going to buy one of them?
LegendAntihero
These pop figures are just silly. Darkseid ain't suppose to be cute
ArmadaSentinel
Actually the abs on that 'Drift' figure look kinda like an upside down Argosy grille… coincidence I'm sure, but I definitely see no Bugatti parts
tonyformer
If not the Bugatti, than I guess I'd go with the Argosy.
kjeevahh
Ah no sorry, what I meant was..
If this third dark grey/light grey pop bot isn't drift/bugatti, which other transformer/vehicle do you think it is?
tonyformer
Idk, I still think if drift is truly in he will be a car an more than likely the Bugatti. It's just I expected the Pop Bot toy to have a but more detail than this one does is all.

Hoping drift starts on decepticons side in AOE would give it some actual truth to drift story if not the original story.
kjeevahh
Tony, if not the bugatti, what would your bet be for him? This?
kjeevahh
Also from those pictures it's easier again to see that protrusion on his chest, it does look very much like the shape of a bugatti grill:
kjeevahh
Not necessarily! They often release prototype shots like that, the plastic colour is sometimes just a rough approximation, and sometimes completely different. Here are some more examples:
and a recent TF example, remember people thinking that beast hunters megatron was actually going to be green and purple?
I'm expecting the bugatti to look very similar to BH megatron's final toy colours. If you take a look at the plastic they used for Dredd's head, that doesn't look too far off what they used for transformer #3.

Found this while looking for new info. The 3 added colored pics look to be all slightly different angles and the light flash is different on the colored pics compared to the non colored pics. These seem to be the base colors for the 3 with no paint aps or other designs added. Something about the "Drift" Pop Bot doesnt look right. If these are legit, and if that is drift, and if Drift is the Bugatti in the movie, the Bugatti is Blue and Black not grey and white.

Again, you really expect Bay of all people to consider that?
I doubt that they'd take "great" offence. I'd expect more like eye roll "Oh you dumb americans." type offence.
No…Stupid, maybe. But not really offensive. I think more then anything they'd just laugh at you.

Read it on 1 of the other forums, I'll try retrace my steps and find the exact article and post the link. Said 30 min in cyberton, 30 min in Hong Kong and rest in USA I believe.
can't say if it's true or just rumours but I've seen it on one of the forums
