Some image are surfacing on the internet, showing what seems to be a new Transformers Legacy Clampdown figure.
As usual, take this with a grain of salt until we find an official or reliable confirmation. The images show a redeco of Kingdom Earthmode Red Alert with using a deco seen in pre-Transformers Diaclone and then as an e-Hobby repaint of the G1 reissue Sideswipe in 2003.
Update: Even more images thanks to Stories from the Toyshelf Facebook. now with comparison shots next to the Kingdom Earthmode Sideswipe and Kingdom Red Alert.
Update 2: Even more more images and a review via Chefatron on YouTube.
Is it an upcoming Legacy figure? Your guess is as good as ours. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images attached to this news post and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Use all parts of the buffalo.

Yes, it's attention to detail. They have options from when they design and plan the mold all the way to when they design and plan the deco. They aren't "boxed in" to anything beyond what they want to box themselves into.

It's not attention to detail, the legs and arms are made from the same piece.

Double check her legs pretty sure you missed a step, but she looks great there.

It's definitely very poor attention to detail that Red Alert got all that red while Clampdown got all that light gray. Everyone on this board knows it would make more sense reversed but apparently the powers that be at Hasbro didn't. Really stupid. This is where we really miss TakaraTomy being able to do their own thing.
And RiD Prowl was not a Countach, he was a Diablo. Next generation Countach basically.

This dude can go up for preorder anytime now, I'm impatiently waiting to click the preorder button. I do love the Lamborghini mode.
Speaking of Lamborghini, why the frag am I just now finding out Robots In Disguise 2001 Prowl has a freaking Countach alt mode?
jamarmiller
Yep ticks me off . They could have at least made these easily swappable by using screws but the
Pins make it way too hard for me . Had they been screws like classics , it would be a fairly easy swap

Oh, I mean compared to Siege Chromia. Is pretty obvious that post-WFC figures are much shorter than anything from Prime Wars but I think the overall quality and engineering compensates for that.
Do you have more pics side to side with Siege Chromia by the way? Is just that perspective is sometimes wonky depending how you pose Elita.
Monari
Yeah, the CW figures especially are noticeably taller than her. But she really is a great figure, a lot better than I was expecting from the photos.
Skreeonk
Just my opinion, but Elita blows the other fembots out of the water; she actually looks like she transforms into something. Definitely excited to see Minerva eventually…
G1Prowl
Because THAT would ever happen…
Starpilot949
XD yeah np! Do you at least have the barcode? If you threw away the box that ok.
Monari
Just to be clear, when I say “local” I mean that it’s a Chinese version of Amazon, and they most likely were indeed pinched from a factory somewhere so I don’t have a DPCI. I wasn’t standing out back behind the factory with a white suit and bowler hat on waiting with cash in hand to swap with the factory worker though. As with most of the stuff I buy, I prefer to remain in ignorant bliss as to exactly how those chicken nuggets made their way onto my plate.
orangeitis
Nope.
Hasbro will just have to redo them all with unique alt modes.
Rakzo
Yeah, thanks.
Again, Elita seems shorter now which is a shame since I wanted her to be the same size as other Fembots.
Monari
Is this ok?
Starpilot949
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. my fault. Sorry! And cool, didn't know amazon selled target exclusives! though doesnt surprise me I saw a lift ticket being selled on amazon, and that was supposed to be an EE exclusive. Would you mind passing me the DPCI code for red cog? And I also twirl my mustache after every TF purchase I make, helps me take my mind off of how much time I have to wait until I get the thing in hand.
Rakzo
Sorry to repeat but do you have more recent Fembots to see how well Elita scales with them?
Monari
Sorry, was asleep. We don’t all live in your time zone.
And sadly it was nothing quite as dastardly as you guys are speculating – they were up for sale on the local version of Amazon.
If it helps, I *did* twirl my moustache and cackle a bit villainously as I clicked the buy button though.
