As cool as it looks I think I'll wait to see if they repaint it to look like Sky Lynx.

Nope.

It makes me feel old not to be on board with this new stuff, like I'm getting left behind or that I'm being closed minded.

Where is the line that separates those things? I really try to look objectively at new designs and toys, but I can't help but look at this and think (like many other upcoming toys) that Transformers has maybe gone a step too far out of the norm.

I know...I know...Transformers change with time and series. But don't forget that change has at times been rejected. Beast Machines is the strongest example of that. While it was a good show, the vast majority of fans did not like where it took the overall franchise. The course correction was RiD and Armada in place of Transtech. When the movies are through, will we see that again?
