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.

In LOT, he was able to do it, because the device was not lethal to the person, who he used it on.
 * 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.)
