Oh, and Drift, apparently. Unicron.com's live updating photo gallery is

As Darkmount? Whatever works, I guess, as long as you can get him to fight Blaster.

YES!!!
Got a pic of his face? If his face doesn't look like Straxus, it ain't Straxus.

Straxus gets released as Darkmount.
Could this mean that, in some not too distant future, Impactor might be released as Debris?

Holy crap! Straxus! This is one of those "never thought I'd see the day" type things.

Can't tell if he has a mouth there or not. Hopefully not.

If Yaya's ability to call it Straxus hangs on the (lack of) mouth, I don't want to know how he'll feel about those horns!

[composite word including 'f*ck'], he's got horns?
The real Straxus has no horns, no mouth, and those things that point down over the sides of where his mouth should be, if he had a mouth. The Official Straxus Handbook states he must have two of the three to properly be called Straxus.
Maybe that's why he's Darkmount?

i think he looks quite a bit like Straxus.
And Darkmount was, like, his house.
It's like having an Action figure of an old woman in a crown called Buckingham and being suprised people refer to it as The Queen.

Could be the Queen Mum.
Maybe this toy is Straxus' mum.

This toy can't arrive to the stores soon enough...
The third mode is kinda like Classics Galvatron's so-called cannon mode, IE forced, but the toy looks awesome. Head is spot-on Straxus with the pharaoh-like helmet and even the Con insignia on his head. And he has his trademark warpick!

Nice! The ankles are a bit funny, but otherwise he keeps looking better and better.

Dammmmmmmn. I need this.
Actually, i need two. One to display as is and one to chop his head off and put it in a green bubble.
Wonder what his stature is compared to Blaster's toy?

Get the new Blaster when it comes out.
It's all about setting up the old UK comic fights with the new toys...
