This is why Hasbro hates these previews, I think the feet and legs are transformed wrong.
Also...have we seen the CGI of this? Look at 2:55 of this video:

Anyway the set is quite nice. The Shuttle is a little off scale. Should be larger. But I love the little cargo bay where Prime fits.
For robot mode, he looks cool from the knees up. But those legs and feet, I hope its just mistransformed.
Otherwise I actually like him.

I agree about the legs, and NO I think the Legends Op is supposed to be a lot nicer. That Op looks like a cheap KO.
Lots of back kibble, but it kinda looks like an X-wing (if you squint).

It is because Michael Bay believes that the Earth chicken is indeed "alien."

the footage at 2:55 is from a Japanese movie. I can't remember the name but I was blown away when I saw that and thought they could easily make a Transformers movie.

If it is supposed to be a shuttle carrier, then it is a modified boeing 747. Very big plane...
I like this figure...the legs aren't a biggie for me, but the orange arms are kinda meh. I think gold would have gone well there...
Posted by Autobot032 on March 15th, 2009 @ 12:57am CDT
An easy, easy pass for me. The only thing going for it is the cargo bay gimmick, that's kinda cool, actually. That's all it has in the plus side.
...although it does look like he's taking a Prime dump.

His face reminds me of Beast machines Optimus Primal.

I don't think this guy is in the film because he looks too "transformery".
If he is in the movie, and that little Prime is to scale, we might have a contender to go against Devastator... Or there is a seen where Prime drives out the back of a cargo jet and hasbro said, "Great! Mold it, that's an easy $500k."
I believe the little Prime is packaged with the Plane, fits too well.

Seriously, the arms are what vexes me. Can't we work out a better paint palette, maybe more military drab?

In the first one we had a few ones so ... different we didn't even recognized the characters... lets say... Ironhide. But those were somewhat cool in there Michael Bay kind of way. But these guys??? With the exception of Sideswipe and maybe Sideways (still need to see better pictures before making a final opinion about this one) the rest are just so damn! ugly
I don't know how anyone will spend money on this transformers. But I know many will. I know

Seriously, I've seen knockoffs with better engineering.

If Hasbro cannot even be arsed to put some EFFORT into their products them they deserve to not to sell any. That thing is UGLY.
Honestly, its like one of those cheap knock offs that you see in the newsagents for £1.99.

also, they could have just put legends OP there instead of the crappy one.

I'm thnking the plane carries Optimus in the movie, but the plane itself is not a transformer. Hasbro just made it that way like they did to longarm and incinerator in the first movie.
On the other hand, if this bot is in the movie, he's gonna be huge, but Optimus appears to be the same size as that little shuttle on top of the bot, so I don't think optimus comes with him. Unless this is yet another case of terrible disproportionalism.

Posted by zero-kaiser on March 15th, 2009 @ 11:02am CDT
I have to say this is probably the first ROTF I've taken an instant dislike to.
Posted by shadowsfm on March 15th, 2009 @ 12:00pm CDT

And he's still the same sizeas the space-shuttle gun, which I forsee people bitching about. This is not a toyline where scale is a major concern, people, and the sooner you get used to that, the happier you'll be.
For some reson, the head reminds me of Rail Racer. For that matter, the chest looks a little bit Rail Racer-y, too. (The train combiner from RiD, in case you need to look it up. )
The legs? Eh, a little reminiscent of Beas Machines Cheetor, but given that this is a movie-style design, that's par for the course. Not a deal-breaker for me. In general, a nice toy, and it somehow softens the blow of RotF steamrolling the hell out of my beloved Animated toyline and ending the not-as-cool-as-Animated-but-still-pretty-nice Universe line.
(Still, I wish they'd given the shuttle its own robot mode instead of a spring-loaded projectile. I know, I know, budget, but the space shuttle is one of my favorite alt modes.)

Here are some possible names for the figure:
01) Blaster
02) Broadside
03) Bulkhead
04) Cloudburst
05) Cloudraker
06) Cosmos
07) Overload
08) Scattershot
09) Sky Lynx
10) Sky Shadow
11) Strafe
12) Topspin
13) Treadbolt
14) Windrazor
15) Wing Saber
I hoping that they name the figure Sky Lynx!
