Via 2Chan we have a look at some rather interesting Transformers designs in Transformers Generations 2014 Volume 1. Across a two-page spread ten different potential Transformers toys are shown, including an Alpha Trion, a GoShooter from Chojin Masterforce and a set of Omnibots.
Exactly what these are meant for is unclear at this time – one school of thought suggests this is a vote for which of the ten fans would like to see happen. We will update you once more information becomes available.
The ten shown are:
1 – Alpha Trion from Generations Scourge
2 – The Fallen from Fall of Cybertron Onslaught
3 – Sunstreaker Police Type from Universe Sunstreaker
4 – Smokescreen from Universe Smokescreen
5 – Autobot Drift Black Version from Generations Drift (this might well be a toy of Drift’s Decepticon alter-ego Deadlock)
6 – Overdrive from Universe Smokescreen
7 – Camshaft from Generations Wheeljack
8 – Downshift from Universe Ironhide
9 – Beast Wars Silverbolt from Beast Hunters Grimwing
10 – Goshooter from Generations Nightbeat
Necro Prime
Also this: "Camshaft and Downshift had their names swapped for their Japanese Transformers mail-away releases (which were also available in 1985), presumably because the real-life Mazda RX-7 featured a rotary engine that does not actually have a camshaft."
from Camshaft (G1) – Transformers Wiki

Nope, that's the standard head. Every single one of these are simple photoshops. Look at Overdrive, same exact picture. Smokescreen is Classics Smokescreen in G2 Smokescreen/Smokejumper paint job.

Alpha Trion and Silverbolt look the best.
Just what exactly is Smokescreen trying to be? Is that the BotCon Rapido head?
ssjkazer
Nah it makes sense its the only mold that gets close to his cape
LegendAntihero
I want that Alpha Trion as well but it seems to be an odd choice to use the Scourge mold for him since he's a bad guy
Nightrain
Alpha Trion and Silverbolt are the ones that stand out.
G1Prowl
So any word as to HOW the voting happens, or WHEN? Maybe this'll be a subscription service thing and we get… them… all…
Oh, sweet Emperor. I've gotta request some overtime.
Thundershot
It's a mock up. If they do him he'll have the Nightbeat head.
Murasame
Go Shuta has the wrong head. He has a red visor.

A little paint on that Drift's head and a couple of Decepticon symbols, and there be Deadlock.
G1Prowl
So far all we have are photoshops. At least we know there are no production figs ready yet.
Flexx Ark
Silverbolt gets my vote. I like Alpha Trion also.
PoweredConvoy
Hi-Res version.

The details on a lot of these guys vary in the comic from the above image. The comic colors are closer in layout and details than most of the mockups here.

Give me The Fallen.

My initial reaction upon seeing this on the front page was mainly leaning towards Goshooter, in some measure from watching Masterforce a couple of times, and it seemed like a more focused choice than hoping for all of them to pick from.
On reflection though, a Nightbeat toy re-purposed into an emergency service vehicle would normally turn out to be Minerva, or so one might expect. The flip side is that Goshoota was Siren's Japanese counterpart, and I thought that someday down the line it would be neat if the latter accumulated a bit more exposure and character development in MTMTE such that he got his own toy. Fanciful as it seems, that would be the ideal way to get a Goshoota toy, though I understand that this project is reusing Generations figures and the like.

Police sunstreaker with siren and partners and you can take my money now. Whatever happen to clampdown and deepcover? Last three bots i want from that mold and then they should just do away with the thing.
Autovolt 127
That's supposed to be the Fallen from FoC Onslaught.
Oh god….why?
Spiderus Prime
I mush get that Alpha Trion and The Fallen. Maybe the Omnibots.
Flash1087
Uh…so…sirens and a partner? Make the partner Ai-chan, call him Mach Alert, and then name your price, Takara.

I've gotten less and less interested in these. Not sure I'd really want any one of them.
1.) Alpha Trion: I've got the Botcon version, I don't have a need to spend money on another expensive exclusive. The vector sigma partner is an interesting idea. I wonder if instead of one of those keychain sparkbot figures if they'd use Unicron's Dead End minicon
2.) Fallen: I never cared much about the Fallen, and done in such a lackluster mold? No interest.
3.) Police Sunstreaker: Why? He's so easy to kitbash. Get a Sunstreaker head and a Generations Red Alert. Strip some paint, add some black details. Checkpoint might be an okay name, Mach Alert I like better, but if I was making a new character for him I'd probably call him Speedtrap.
4.) "G2" Universe Smokescreen: It is a fun/kooky idea. I'd really love to see the Terradive/Spacecase mold used for G2 Smokescreen though…even if he'd be taller than Generations Dreadwing they'd still pair well together
5.) Black Drift: I was never impressed with Drift, and rarely impressed with drab Black repaints
6-8.) The Omnibots are mostly of interest as a group, getting 1 would seem odd, plus I have Rapido(red Prowl), Wheel-Track's mold been done in white a few times, and that Ironhide mold is horrible. I already use Universe Aveo Swerve as my Overdrive, Downshift's easy to kitbash(get a Wheeljack & a Tracks, strip some paint, switch some parts and you've got Downshift and Slicer …mine are WIPs at the moment)
9.) Silverbolt looks great, but BM colors would seem more fitting.
10.) Go-Shooter… really probably the only one I would consider buying. But I'd rather get a new mold or a repaint of Energon Prowl or Energon Downshift for him. I've got the club Nightbeat and Energon Inferno I use as my pseudo-Classics Hosehead, so a Siren to fit with them would be cool. Hmm… maybe one of the Energon Prowl's is close enough to stand in… if only Energon Prowl was Gray/Blue instead of Blue/Gray…haha!
