Three more EV3 models revealed?

UPDATE: New pictures here [LINK].

Some websites have reported that the new EV3 set comes with instructions for 17 models. We’ve seen the first official 5 models, but I just came across this picture taken at CES, showing the backside of the box. The bottom right of the picture shows three more robots, apparently the first three “Extra” models. It’s a bit hard to see, so can you help identify what they are? Let me know in the comments.

    One on the left looks like Daniele Benedettelli’s turle, 3.0-style of course. Am I mistaken or does it looks like there is a gyro involved in this set? The right bottom corner, maybe a truck like 8479, the programmable truck… IN the middle, yes similar to R2D2.

    The box says have fun a lego.com/mindstorms they might be creations that you will
    be able to find on lego.com this summer.
    The robots you see might be a work in progress for lego.
    It seems like it is like the mindstorms community we have now with extra creations you can
    build on lego.com they might not even have a name.
    If you think about it what was the lego mindstorms nxt 2.0 like when they announced it in
    2009 we might have a clue of what the three robots are and why they are on the box.
    I just can’t find these robots ANY were maby someone can

    I made out a few words (play the fun online games and get to know the programming)
    That was what I made out

    I also saw the words (building instructions and programs (:

    I will keep looking

    Laurens– I think I might try to make a NXT version of one of the EV3 models, too. I’ve already seen the NXT R3PTAR and puppy. I might try a TRACK3R or an EV3RSTORM.
    (Did you see the puppy on NXT log?

    On the lower left corner on the back of the nxt 2.0 there are some models maked by fans. Maby the three robots obove are maked by fans.

    Another extra robot is the gyro boy. It is like a segway.

    Also the top right is like a cool snake and the bottom right looks like something that can hold stuff or catch stuff. Am i right? 🙂
