    It's based on a C-5 Galaxy with a modified tail section. It isn't a Antonov An-225, because the An-225 has six turbines and the toy has four. It could be that Hasbro couldn't get a liscence to make an actual model of either of them, so Hasbro made their own design using some details from both planes.

    Meh. Another shining example of the de-evolution of Transformers toy quality brought to us by ROTF. If it isn't chicken legs, it's roller feet. If it isn't roller feet, it's microwaved head sculpts. If it isn't microwaved head sculpts, it's lacking paint apps of any sort. How is this line the next "step up" from Universe and Animated???

    um. DUH. knowing Bay this is probably Omega Supreme. The colors and scale aren't too far off for it, and the shuttle is a dead giveaway IMO. I still think it's kind of fugly, at least proportion-wise. I mean, they could have easily tried a bit harder with those ginormous foot skis.

    It's first and foremost a modified An-225. Aside from number of engines and the second cockpit window set, every aspect of the design is something from the An-225.

    Ugly bot, terrible feet, cool alt mode, nice gimmicks (boring review, btw, sorry)

    Nice size, too. I'll get him, as with the other non-repaint movie voyagers.

    I really dont' want him to be Omega Supreme. Wouldn't mind if he's Sky Lynx.

    I really like the alt mode plus the OP gimmick. But the bot mode doesn't do it for me. gotta say though that that super dark version of blackout looks awesome. too bad it's so hard to see the detail on his vid. I really wanted to see how cool blackout looks.

    Or they could decide to stop bothering doing reviews and leave fans completely in the dark about upcoming figures until the day they're released.

    i really wish ppl would stop bitching about weather its a boeing or an antanov. it has similarities to both. maby its a new type of plane thats just in the movie, built specifically for prime.

    GenZhao and Peaugh are buddies, right? Surely Peaugh can teach him some good camera fu. Also, in the futures, please check facts before you spout off about what's what, and, as always, put in some experience with the toy before you post a review. Nothing's sillier than watching a reviewer try to figure out the toy while filming.

    As you post that, you should realize that that plane looks nothing like a Boeing anything. He simply said Boeing because it's a common name, and he feels that having a toy before everyone else makes him smarter too.

    THIS, sir, is the answer. It looks like it takes the wings from the C-17, the gears from the C-5, and the tail from the An-255. The fuselage stumps me though, it really looks like it's just the artist's design on that.

    I agree, that it'll be in the movie, probably carrying Prime and the Autobots somewhere. Whether it'll actually be a transformer, or if it'll be like Landmine and Incinerator, is anyone's guess at this point.
