Sir, that is genius.

Skystalker was even a cityspeaker for a Titan (Vigilem) in IDW2, so there's canonical precedent too.
Honestly I never quite understood, even back when I had the original as a kid, how Space Shuttle/orange car went together as partners, but they made Mainframe into Tellletraan, so it wouldn't be the oddest repurposing of a character we've seen. It could fit in that narrow forward section as a cockpit, and micromaster car alt mode engineering is well established, so it wouldn't cost much to include. I doubt it will work that way, but we will see!
Crosscut has leaked. Looking like wave 2 is Crosscut, Animated Prowl, bike Junkion, and probably an unseen Decepticon
He's exactly what you think he is, but the silver and red is still quite striking, and I actually dig his character concept.

Legacy Evolution Deluxe Crosscut First Look
Continuing our recent string of Transformers figure leaks is a new one coming to us this morning from Daimchoc, this time of the upcoming Legacy Evolution Deluxe Crosscut! As many had expected, Crosscut is indeed a reuse of the Skids/Burnout mold painted in his OG silver and red color scheme...

And some paint on those red wheels...
Yeah, I like the deco overall, but those wheels...yeesh. I'm sure it has to do with the "all the red pieces have to be made together at the factory, and we can't separate out individual parts because of money and reasons" thing. But come on, find a way to slap some black wheels on him for crying out crackers.
I'd get him to go along with my Road Rage, but I already have Burnout and buying stuff just to fulfill an obscure reference toward a character I like is just trying to convince myself to buy something I don't need.
Also reminds me that it was Road Rage and Nautica in IDW2 and I yet again am annoyed with myself for not buying the Titans Returns boxset.

Would be nice if we got a new Nautica period. They've shown that IDW characters are still a possibility with Tarn.
The red wheels look AWFUL. It's like some cheap knockoff from Sirtoys.
Why would anyone with even half a braincell want this, if it actually comes with red wheels? Every version that's come out before this is better than the new version pictured. I hope that this is just some sort of factory reject/test shot image.

Well, I mean, beyond the red wheels, it does a solid job of what it's supposed to do. It's far from a lost cause.
Time to start looking for a dirt cheap Skids or Burnout for donor wheels.
