Can you identify this item?

Update note: This item has been identified as Brakedown GTS from the Cybertron line. Thanks!
*******************************
I'm stumped on identifying a Transformers item...it is copyright 2004, and is a blue funny-car style vehicle, with two big wheels in the back and small wheels under the vehicle in front. Head is gray, kind of looks like Bluestreak's head, and arms are gary. It has an Autobot logo on it. I'll offer $2 store credit to the first person who can identify it for me! TFU.info is a good resource to identify items, but I didn't find it there. If you know of other thorough reference websites for the newer toys, please let me know!

While I don't intend to make it a sizeable portion of inventory, I do have on hand some random figures from the past 10 years that I am sorting through from Beast Wars, RID, Armada, Energon, etc.. The first of each item I have will get put on the Collection Completers page, and then any duplicates will get posted into regular inventory.

On an unrelated note, there was a good post asking about foreign figures. The person is correct that it hasn't been an area of focus thus far -- a few items can be found on the Collection Completers page, but that's pretty much it. I'll keep an extra eye out for items and see what I can do, but they simply don't come around as often as US figures (of course), and when found it typically is an international transaction which is both riskier and expensive, therefore making it difficult to obtain most items without charging an arm and a leg for them.

One final item I'll mention is regarding our website photos -- I'm slowly working on getting quality photos up that show complete figures for reference, and weed out some of the blurry and incomplete figure photos. I know the ideal would be to have actual pics of each item, but unfortunately that isn't within my time budget. When needed, I can do photos of specific figures on request, if you're willing to wait until a weekend for me to do it.
