Mysterious key chains February 19th, 2009

Of the new Trans­form­ers mer­chan­dise at Toy Fair 09 were a set of key chains, with their front designs pix­e­lated out to pre­vent reveal­ing the details of the char­ac­ters. Action Figs have posted a gallery of these with the notice­able Bum­ble­bee, Starscream etc — there are two notable odd­i­ties how­ever, one mys­te­ri­ous unnamed ‘New Char­ac­ter’ and a fig­ure labeled as Opti­mus Prime that doesn’t match his usual robot form. TFW also have a pair of sil­hou­ettes that match these two designs.

The source of these sil­hou­ettes states that the robot form of Opti­mus Prime is in com­bi­na­tion with Jet­fire, look­ing closely you can see the wing out­line, boost­ers and a canon — this com­bi­na­tion has pre­vi­ously been seen on the Leg­ends class toys, although that arrange­ment looks very different.

The unnamed char­ac­ter has claws and is grey, I’d hes­i­tate a guess at Megatron.
