Or maybe he just didn't extend BB's legs all the way, therefore making him shorter.

Man, these are awesome figures. I only hope Canada doesn't get shafted and we see these soon.

Prime is standing an inch or so in front of Bumblebee in the pictures you guys are talking about. The camera is also positioned/angled to achieve that effect as well. It was done intentionally.

i think Prime is SLIGHTLY mistransformed : the kneepad aren't opened, they're supposed to flip up.

Sorry for the double posting, could someone please delete this one ?

Well, camera tricks indeed then! Well done, sir.

I would like to pick up these WFC figures but again I would much rather wait on Takara's versions, hopefully they do the WFC figures.

Was WFC Optimus based on War Within's design for him? Because I can't help but think of WW Optimus when I see WFC Optimus...

Only loosely I suspect

I love both of these figures. Matter of fact, minus a little flaw on Soundwave's robot mode, I cant wait to own them all. I just sooooo wish OP was a voyager!!!

Are the figures really that shiny? Because they look like takara tomy versions.

Great galleries as usual!

OP is looking cool but I really dig BB's WFC design. I think it's funny the figure has what appear to be dimples on the cheeks.

Awesome!!

How soon will they be available in stores?

Am I the only one who think that they had to do something about Bumblebee's underarms? They look kinda weird to me, even thought those blades are cool, those bulky things make them look like pocketknifes. But that's my opinion.

I suspect that's pretty likely as well. I just always think of the War Within design when looking at this new Prime, especially in alt-mode.

I think August. They were available on toys r us online for a brief time 3 weeks back. I'm hoping we see them sooner.

I absolutely love Optimus in Bot mode. That is really one of the toughest Bot modes I have seen in a really long time. It totally makes up for an Alt mode that I just really dislike.

Bumblebee is a total pass for me, but the pictures are really good. Actually, the finish on BB looks amazingly good. His yellow is spot on and it has a really nice sheen to it.

I like both, but leaning towards Prime more. Still can't wait to see Megatron and the rest of the Decepticons!!!

I love both of these guys. It's so nice to see something that isn't connected to the ROTF line.

Prime - his transformation is very detailed and it's been a LONG time since I've actually had FUN transforming one of these guys. Everything just fit perfect and he looks like a BEAST in bot mode. I'm hoping they decide to make a Voyager of this guy down the line...doubtful, but you never know.

Bumblebee - This guy, on the other hand, was a pain in the ass to transform to his alt mode. There were these little tabs that held in his front tire area (not sure if anyone had a problem with these things)...but they did NOT want to stay in an his front tires kept coming off. After pinching the life out of this car I got them to stay in. I'm afraid there is a lot of potential for breaking with this guy so he's staying a robot. It has to be PERFECT for it to all hold together. Having said that, he looks PHENOMENAL as a car and I am tempted at the moment to pick up another one to display in alt mode (because there is no way in HELL I'm going to transform the one I have back and forth...once was enough for me).

I am really looking forward to this line (especially Soundwave) and hopefully they'll release a bit more than we've already heard about...dunno since it's tied into the Generations line. Kinda wished they had their own WFC line so more could get made...maybe even like a "make your own figure" set based off of the game create-a-character. Oh well...we'll see what happens.

they both look good

want....mmmmmmm...need these guys. I can't wait for the game to come out on Tuesday and these figures look sick. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for sure.
