The race that stops the board is back in 2017 and here is this year's teaser game for everyone to play before race day. This stained glass image above is of the 7 racers that will be competing this year. Members will be allowed one crack at identifying all 7 racers per calendar day and 50 credits will be awarded to the first person to correctly identify a particular racer. The minimum requirements for identifying a racer is a combination of the toyline they belong to (e.g Power Core Combiners) and the name of the racer (e.g Double Clutch). Entries must also be in the format below:



From left to right:
1. PCC Double Clutch
2. Cybertron Kup
3. etc
4. etc
5. etc
6. etc
7. etc


Where there are both Hasbro/Takara versions of a racer either version is acceptable as a correct guess even if they are technically in different toylines and characters may have different names. The exception to this is if the character/colouration/deco of the toy is drastically different between the two versions (e.g United EX Racemaster vs PCC Double Clutch)

Needless to say, neither PCC Double Clutch, United EX Racemaster nor Cybertron Kup are competing this year either. Have fun! :D

a car transformer that is mostly yellow, has dark/black windows and some gray...

Most bumblebee toys of late have some significant amount of black on the bonnet. It's not the obvious sunstreakers.

We have 4 days on the outside before the race starts. get cracking peoples.

Nope!

I'm going to have to do the reveal later tonight, so one final clue:

Only one person has guessed the correct toyline. Multiple persons have guessed the correct character.

I'll also reset everyone's guesses for today.

All guesses so far

Alternity BB

Animated Bumblebee
Beast Hunters BB
Botcon Sunstreaker
Botcon SG Goldbug
Classics/Henkei Susntreaker
Energon Hot Shot
FoC Bumblebee
FoC Swindle

G1 Tigertracks
G1 Sunstreaker
Masterforce Lester
MPM Bumblebee
MP Tigertracks
TFPrime BB
RiD one step BB
RiD BB
ROTF Battleblade BB
TFM Old Camaro BB
TR Bumblebee
Universe/Henkei Hot Shot
CW/UW Sunstreaker


Eliminating all toylines that have appeared at least twice.


Alternity BB
Alternator Sunstreaker
Animated Bumblebee
Beast Hunters BB
Energon Hot Shot
Masterforce Lester
TFPrime BB
ROTF Battleblade BB
TFM Old Camaro BB
TR Bumblebee
CW/UW Sunstreaker

Eliminating characters only guessed once which really only drops out MF Lester.

Alternity BB
Alternator Sunstreaker
Animated Bumblebee
Beast Hunters BB
Energon Hot Shot
TFPrime BB
ROTF Battleblade BB
TFM Old Camaro BB
TR Bumblebee
CW/UW Sunstreaker

This narrows the list to the following. Admittedly not sure how we treat the movie line...

Excluding Alternity b/c only one yellow toy. Excluding Alternators as too big. Excluding Titan returns as not many yellow toys...

Animated Bumblebee
Beast Hunters BB
Energon Hot Shot
TFPrime BB
ROTF Battleblade BB
TFM Old Camaro BB
CW/UW Sunstreaker

Can't think of CW/UW yellow cars other than the Streaker and Dragstrip. So exclude that as well


Animated Bumblebee
Beast Hunters BB
Energon Hot Shot
TFPrime BB
ROTF Battleblade BB
TFM Old Camaro BB

There were so many BBs in the movie line it makes it hard! I'm going by the spirit of the answer so won't guess DoTM Mechtech Deluxe BB, Nitro BB, Age of Extinction etc...

I'm going to use my last guess and go TFM New Camaro BB

EDIT changing to Classics BB. As doesn't appear to be there. Will double check in interim in case the gamesmaster announces answers.

EDIT 2 I guess I overlooked Classics BB b/c I thought he'd be excluded under the only one person has guessed the line. I kind of bundled Classics Sunstreaker / hot Shot into one line but they are technically different lines (Universe). But then that makes it complicated b/c Classics wasn't quite Sunstreaker so it's never been guessed. But the white in the pixellated images make me think its a BB or a BB with grey...

I was being pretty strict with toyline definitions. Even if I knew which toy they meant. You'll notice I didn't award Prime Fracture or Blurr either.

This is to prevent people using unofficial toyline definitions like CHUGRtSULCWUWTRPotP which could potentially cover multiple toys with the same character name.
