The folks over at TFSource have updated their site with preorder pages for the upcoming Reveal the Shield Legends Class figures: Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Gold Bumblebee, Prowl, and Trailcutter.
All of these are based on their G1 iterations, with some renaming of Goldbug and Trailbreaker as "Gold Bumblebee" and "Trailcutter" going on. Of further note is that Starscream's head seems to be unpainted, when his official Hasbro photos show his head to be painted black. Here's hoping the final product will be the same.
Also, as it appears that figures previously believed to be released in the 2010 main line and the Generations line separately will instead be released in the Reveal the Shield line together, the fate of these two existing lines remains to be known.
*UPDATE*
In addition to the unveiling of the these Legends class figure images, Seibertron.com has images of another gem of Reveal the Shield line: a 2-pack called "Battle in Space". This set contains very show-accurately redecoed versions of Classics Rodimus and Universe Cyclonus w/ Nightstick, both decos bearing a resemblance to those of their Henkei! Henkei! counterparts.
They appear to be practically identical to their releases in the Universe foreign market exclusive "Challenge at Cybertron" 3-pack (which also incuded a Universe Galvatron redeco), with the exception being that these figures include new rubsigns over their insignias so as to fit with this line's gimmick.
Two bonus items are to be included in this set. One is the Matrix of Leadership that was originally included in the Japanese-exclusive "New Year Special Convoy" reissue of the G1 Optimus Prime figure, and again with the purple reisue of the G1 Galvatron toy. The other is a short comic story titled "Rodimus vs. Cyclonus" created by IDW specifically for this figure set.
