Once again Hasbro have been awesome and given us Australians an exclusive reveal of some upcoming toys.
These two are minor remoulds of the Autobots Race Car Patrol Roadhandler and Swindler.

Would have preferred Roadhugger over Blackjack, but no biggie - still sweet.

Loving the micromasters. Hope there are a lot more to come! Thanks to Hasbro for the Aussie exclusive. Might have been forgotten about stock in the major stores but at least not completely forgotten! :)

You can see the heads and chest panels are different from the Autobot versions but otherwise identical.

The loose samples were painted which also shows up a bit in the photos.

Bye-bye to my CW Blackjack.

You wouldn’t keep him for Menasor’s chest?

A production error for this pack has been found in America already (https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-war-for-cybertron-siege-blackjack-variant-located/43524/), with Blackjack being found with Swindler's chest (painted black), instead of the newly sculpted chest that Blackjack is supposed to have.
As you can see in my comparison photos in post #5, both of the Sports Car Patrol toys were redecos of the Autobot Race Car Patro toys, but with a new head/chest piece.
This production error must have had one of those alternate (Swindler) chest pieces get mixed up with the Blackjack chest pieces before the parts were painted in the factory... as the parts would all be in the same mould tree... so it would be interesting if there were more of those parts mixed up at the factory.
