Camshaft looks like a new mould, which is cool. Downshift is a Tracks redeco, which shows us the new Tracks mould. The last guy has the body of Jazz a little bit, but maybe it’s just the Prowl body with a new shell?

Another licensed Transformers item that will be exclusive at SDCC next weekend is this poster for the 1986 Movie.
Nah, they're just new drawings of the original Omnibots. I don't think anything can be taken from these as far as possible toys. Just like the Firecon's, they were unfortunately done just to bump up numbers in character cards.
So much want!
it would be interesting if they do make new toys of these characters, it is just about time. They haven't been touched since the 80''s as far as I'm aware.
Wizards of the Coast have stated that not all character cards are going to be toys, but they also didn't say they could specifically discount any characters either. . . Maybe not this year but some time in the next few years I'd be unsurprised to see new toys of these guys.
Would love a new Overdrive toy.
One of my favourites growing up.
Good clean transformation, nice articulation, wings in the arms and guns in the chest - what's not to love!
One of the SDCC exclusives (the Botbots 10-pack) has already been found in Asia, with someone finding one in a toy store in the Philippines. (not unusual though, as most SDCC exclusives seem to find their way to Hasbro HK countries like Taiwan in the same month of SDCC.
Overdrive was done as a Binaltech (Honda S2000) and Downshift appeared in Transformers Energon and Cybertron. Although it was really Wheeljack bearing Downshift's name. There was also a Camshaft in Alternators (Honda Integra Type R). I've probably left some out... (checks tfwiki) -- oh, there was a Bayformer and Spychanger called Camshaft (repaints of Jolt and WARS respectively).
Wait... so if they're doing Powerdashers and Omnibots as Generations toys... and they've done Reflector... the only mail-away G1 toy left is... TIME WARRIOR.
Somebody hold me as I'm about to cry.
Not that anyone here has easy access to Hasbro Pulse, but the left-over Transformers SDCC items will be on there at the in the first week of next month (apparently they are adding the SDCC items over the next 3-4 weeks, which would be really annoying if you wanted several items and have to keep going back on several different days)... but expect them to sell out before they become visible to the public, as "Pulse Premium" members will get to buy them a day before everyone else, and apparently everyone who joined the site when it launched, has a complimentary membership for the first year, which will cover these items.
Pulse Premium membership is US$50 per year ... and what does it get? It gives them free shipping within Continental US (which most of the big online stores do now over there, often without a huge amount spent), exclusive access to promotions & contests, and early-bird access to items like the SDCC left-overs. It sounds like a licensed club membership, but without any specific exclusive elements other than free shipping on all orders (Amazon Prime is a lot cheaper for free shipping over a certain amount... and Australia Post offers a similar scheme with an annual fee to get free shipping from selected partner businesses).
