In the Freedom Fighters: The Ray trailer, the speedster was Barry-X, since he's confirmed to be voice by Grant Gustin. His suit is different from the Reverse-Flash's. His personality and fighting style also felt different from Thawne. However, there are a couple things that may debunk this theory:


 * Overgirl referred to him as Eobard. However, it's possible that she just wanted the team to keep thinking that it was actually Thawne.

There is one detail.... If it's really Barry allen then how could he possibly know the harrison wells face as the tormentor of the flash. There is no way the Earth-X guys could have known the secret identities of the heroes if there isn't any Earth 1 members or most likely Eobard Thawne in disguise of Harrison wells... Overgirl does say Earth-X has been watching them all.
 * Thawne kept his Wells face even when he wasn't fighting Barry and the team. However, it's possible that it's the same situation as Season 1 Thawne, where he apparently could not revert his appearance back to the way it was. (Maybe he could, but his face was reverted only when he was being erased from existence. Though, in LOT Season 2, he was shown to be able to vibrate his appearance back to the way it was.)
