dude, you're not gonna get War Within Prime or whatever the heck you wanted.
if you don't like it then have a drink by yourself.

He's allowed his oppinion, no need to bait him for it.


Heh, well said Mkall (note the lower case "k")

I love this figure! He looks great in both modes! I was very impressed with his transformation sequence, it looked very intricate, So much so that i would consider purchasing an upsized knockoff of it! HINT HINT KOToys!

Even the freaking gun was impressive!! he flicked it and it was already in the robot-mode-weapon-mode! Thats Balls F**king Deep!

This figure looks incredible, I can't say that enough!

This is a must-have for me. This means I'll have to buy the corresponding Megatron even if I don't like him.

I like the heavy armor look, it makes the war seem more serious. The only thing that worries me is the gun looks a little floppy.

I will say that I am getting Jetfire since he is one of the main characters in the game so he should have a toy. :grin:

I will get Shockwave if he has a toy. :grin:

Bumblebee and is a definite maybe.... :-?

Nothing else I have seen YET has persuaded me to get either this figure or the Megatron we have all seen earlier. :roll:

Not bad, it will depend on how many other products will be released at the time, seems like there is a lot coming out at once
( especially when you are hunting for older figures)

I have to disagree with you, I find this incarnation of OP rather nice, his angles, shapes and lines come together almost organically. After seeing the WWI (isn't within one word?) OP from an earlier poster, while I liked it in the comics, I must say I hated it by comparison. I feel if you switched the Primes, they would both look out of place. WWI had a nice form but he seems a bit scrawny for a war hero on the frontlines, where is all the armor? WFC has the bulk and it looks good. In my opinion.

Motto: "Deal with it."
Weapon: Sniper Rifle
In a word: Awesome.

Now on to the details. Overall, he looks great. I'm liking the sculpt. Lots of details, and shaped a little differently than we're used to. It's nice to see something relatively new (yes, ROTF was VERY different).

I also really love the colors, and the quality of the plastic seems good. I dunno if it's just me, but he seemed a lot more sturdy than some of the recent toys. It also seems Hasbro finally realized that pale-almost-white silver plastic is really crappy looking and added some more silver to the mix. The blue is a nice dark shade, and the red even seems to have a metallic and high-gloss look to it. It looks good and high-quality. And I don't mind the pink/neon red at all. I think it looks pretty good, it's something different, and it's a good representation of what's seen in the game.

That transforming gun is absolutely badass. And I love weapon storage, especially if it's functional.

The vehicle mode, while not all that exciting, still looks like a great representation of what Prime's alt mode should be... a big, honking truck. And this time it looks like he could do some serious ramming damage. And it's kind of streamlined at the same time. Even has the iconic smokestacks. Too bad they don't move to his shoulders for bot mode, but I other parts sort of fill that gap.

I guess the only real flaw I could really pick up from this video were that big kibble piece on the back. It makes him look kind of dumpy from the front. He's got a great muscular build, but the back kibble is much wider than the waist, so it ends up not looking as good. Maybe there's a slightly better way to adjust it. Also I'm still not liking the shoulders, they look kind of droopy somehow, but that's pretty minor.

You can tell how excited I am by that big block of text. :grin:

Needless to say, I'm looking forward to Bumblebee, possibly Megatron, and any other future figures we're lucky enough to see from this line.

I like him, but, being a scale-Nazi, I don't really like the fact he is a deluxe and not a voyager.

But I think I'll just trim his ears and use him as Orion Pax. :-)

I'd much rather have the time/budget for this line devoted to Generations so they can get more than flippin' deluxes, thank you very much.

I have no emotional investment in this line. I don't really play video games beyond my old NES, so there's nothing there either. There is nothing to draw me in.

Blurrz is right, we should be thankful. Hasbro decides wether or not to actually make the figures. They didnt even have to make a straxus figure. He came from the COMICS! They didnt have to make toys from this line anyway. Hasbro didnt even have to continue classics after the first year (2006-2007) They even said because of the enormous popularity, they would be continuing it. Its got 2 other continuations. And Mr optimus prime, if you want WWI toys, go out and buy the Titaniums, and then tell us what you think. :P

Going even further, we should be thankful that they bother offering us such intricate designs when they could be offering "lazy" (G1-esque?) engineering at the same price. When things have never been, you don't know what you're missing. After all, that's pretty much what the Power Rangers franchise is doing; today's designs are no more complex than the ones from 20 years ago. Or look at Macross (Bandai & Yamato), more or less rehashing the same designs over and over with very little changes between versions (and apparently, still unable to get it right despite the simplicity of the designs). We're outrageously spoiled.
