    It can be well assumed that we're seeing multiples of each character across many pricepoints, these look like our $40 Leader versions, and I'm suspecting the circuit board is there because these are still prototypes, and will be integrated in the final toys.

    Megatron looks FAR more impressive than the CGI renders, he has a LOT more "beef" and makes him much more intimidating a character in this form, Prime looks beefier, but I'm not sure about the core design, but the BFG is definately cool

    Best...alt modes...ever (in a toy).

    That Prime needs the other Prime's head, though :)

    Megatron looks really good except for the legs tucked up under the wings, they really are poorly done they don't even look like weapons pods or anything just...legs tucked under the wings.

    I like Prime, I really like Prime. But the front wheels down near his feet make them look slightly chunky.

    That being said i'd like to see them transformed right before passing judgment.

    I'm not sure how I feel about this Prime. The other ptoto is mre accurate looking, but it also uses redundant parts like the wind shield and such. This prime, while note nearly as accurate, actually transforms using all the parts, as far as i can tell. So, I appreciate them trying to do it, but I don't know of it works for me.

    Megs looks pretty cool, but I think that's only because he doesn't look like a skeleton unlike his movie model. So in this case, like the Meg toy, not so much the movie Megs.

    I dunno, these seem to be entirely different sub-lines of the movie characters than the Proto Prime in the other thread. Doesn't look to me like this Prime is a newer or revised one from the other mold - just a different version.

    That Megatron is AWESOME. I actually like that more than the movie's CG design.

    The Prime actually pulls off the front windshield transformation, holy crap.

    Going by screw sizes in these pics and on the other Prime, I'd say these are the Leader size ones while the other Prime is Deluxe/Voyager.

    Man, I'm practically seeing the movie toys as their own seperate awesome entity from the movie itself now. I'd be buying these with or without media.

    OK, this is just me but even imagining them as $90 toys has scared the crap out of me. I would not want to pay nearly that much. Even so, Op is nice and I just wish I could see the final products, disambiguated. Can't be sure until then.

    Another cool thing about this Megs toy is that he seems to show off more of a Japanese design vibe than we could see from the CGI shot. I know that was a subject of much debate, in and of itself.

    Hmm. Tough call on which Prime I like more. They both have points that I find stronger than the other.

    Megatron is terrible. The design looks marginally better in toy form, but those huge chunks of kibble underneath the wings horribly detract from the already crappy alt mode.

    Wow Megs looks like that Macross Valkyrie from Macross PLUS. YF 21 I believe...

    Anyone else notice the same basic shape? He definitely looks diffrent from all the past CG pics we've seen. I like it a lot more :)

    It looks like prime has a left hand for a right hand. I f you spin it then the thumb is on the bottom, from what i can make out
