My first thought was that it was just lighting but then I noticed his top-of-cab headlights are unpainted so hopefully this is just photos of a test-run.

Don't mind the marketing and the Hasbro stamp on the stand, it's the TakaraTomy version's colours. The light blue eyes, painted cab lights and blue Roller are the Hasbro colour scheme. Among other paint differences, the blue used on his body and eyes, unpainted cab lights and silver Roller are TakarTomy's colours :) Basically, it's the original TT MP10 with a bonus stand.

e.g.
Bitstream <---repaint of MP Starscream
85 Seekers <--- retooled MP Starscream
Bumblebee ---> Cliffjumper ---> Hubcap (and maybe a ltd exclusive Bumper)
Trailbreaker ---> Hoist
Huffer ---> Pipes
Brawn ---> Outback
Windcharger ---> Tailgate
Gears ---> Swerve
Jazz ---> Stepper (Ltd Ex)
Inferno ---> Grapple ---> Artfire (LE) ---> Hauler (LE)
Wheeljack ---> Slicer (LE)
Mirage ---> Clear "Invisibility" Mirage (LE)
Hound ---> Detritus (LE)
Tracks ---> Road Rage (LE) ---> black Tracks (LE)
Skids ---> Crosscut (LE)

Sunstreaker would be tricky as there's no obvious repaint/retool potential, unless they make him the white police car from Diaclone and give him a new identity. It'd work as an LE (like Tiger Track).

You forgot MP-11 Starscream ---> Thundercraker ---> Skywarp. I'm sure Takara would love to do TC and SW in the new mold to sell a few extra toys to us Seeker fans.:o
