Really? Over 9 minutes and we didn't even see the transformation... I may be in the minority here, but I find the transformation to be about 90% of the whole reason for a video review...otherwise pics can cover most of the other info well enough.

There was a link near the end for the transformation. I didn't watch it because I'd rather find it out for myself. This is one of the few reviews that actually goes in-depth about articulation and shows some poseability.

Does anyone else see a potential for a Cheetor or Tigatron outta this guy?

Guess you actually had to sit through the whole thing to see that there was a link...I kinda stepped through after about 4 or 5 minutes of him just talking.

I'm hoping for a Deadlock repaint. I'd love the Black, Red, and gold look!

They could re-paint and re-mold this figure 4 or 5 different ways, and I think I would buy every single one.

Once the pre-order goes up for the Takomy version of this, I will be getting that too.

Some converting,some not.

I've always like the henkei versions better, but now they are finally hitting ebay more and more loose, I had to pass when they originally came out.

I got Henkei Astrotrain yesterday, puts the hasbro one to shame. I have Henkei V-megs and Cyclonus. I want Prime, Hound, Jetfire, and maybe Inferno, Dinobot and Smokescreen.

I've decided that Ratchet, Ironhide, Prowl, Bluestreak and the twins are not worth getting the Henkei versions, as I don't care for the IH/Ratchet mold, nor do I care much for the Prowl/SS/BS mold.

Anyone selling the above mentioned Henkei's? LMK!

Yo, so on the same page on what I want from the Henkei line and Hasbro.

My current Henkei want list is small, only needing Megs, and Smokescreen which I'll probably get at Botcon. Smokescreen will be the 1st Henkei figure of that mold since I already have Hasbro's Silverstreak and Prowl. I just prefer the paints apps on that. Henkei Hound is awesome and I would've gotten Jetfire if I already didn't own Hasbro's version. It was a store impulse buy.

Every time I pick up a Henkei I have been selling the Hasbro version, and so far I have been making up about 2/3 the cost of the Henkei versions that way. Not too shabby. I did keep both versions of Cyclonus, and my sons will end up with Classics Hound, but classics Jetfire and Prime should do pretty well.

The only downside I can see to this fig is the Soft plastic long sword Other than that he looks stellar. I think they're comming soon. My local Wal-Mart has put RoTF figs on clearence and is empting rows in the Tf isle.

Tigatron, yes - Cheetor, not so much.

Also, don't think this mold will work for Blurr...

No, it does work for me.

Its to bad that he doesn't have a cybertronian mode, that would be bad ass.
