Translation of the blurb in the scan: The next new design (MP) figure in line after Ironhide is Cybertron's young warrior. Scale will be in line with the the other realistic car MPs like Prowl, etc
*this is my own translation as I can read Japanese. Not Google translate
So yes, according to the scan, it's 1) new mold/design and 2) scaled with the other recent MP cars.
