    It's okay, I guess. I'd have preferred Silverbolt or Cloudraker or something.

    It's easier to pronounce a name if you stick "Autobot" in front of it?

    EDIT: LOL lastmaximal for beating me to it.

    I'd assume its another cost cutting measure, as they seem to be cutting corners everywhere possible this year.

    I like the name a lot, but I'm not sure I'm going to bother getting this toy. The robot mode has a huge backpack that's going to make display a pain in the ass, the Optimus Prime mini-figure isn't very impressive and now, apparently, it might not even have a gun.

    The little shuttle is like the best part. Now that it's just another giant-ass airplane Transformers instead of a piggyback shuttle carrier it's not as fun :p

    Well, if they are removing accessories from this guy since we last saw pictures of the figure, it sounds like they toy has been in development still. We'll just have to wait and see new pictures of it. They'll give him some kind of weapon; it just most likely won't be an out of scale space shuttle.

    Only if they want to get into it with Mattel.

    Now, just to get this clear, the OP is saying that the rumor of the shuttle weapon being removed, and then he put canceled in parenthesis.

    So is it yes or a no on the weapon?

    I'd prefer they kept the Prime if they had to drop one or the other. Because with how much engineering went into making the "deployable Prime" gimmick, It'd be terrible if they got rid of it.

    Pronunciation will hardly be a concern, then.

    A somewhat ironic name for such an abysmal toy.

    It's right up there with Tracks, Gears, Dogfight, Cheetor, Backstreet, Rattrap, Dinobot, and Sludge.

    Nice name, but I'll wait for a repaint.

    I doubt it really matters. We might see this plane dropping Optimus off in China and that's it. Seems like a Landmine or Incinerator-type situation to me.

    I'm glad they didn't give him a high ranking characters name, as that could ruin their credibility sharing their name with this....creature

    The name is fine. Quite a few of those little shuttles got out to the public. Hopefully somebody reproduces it

    Why not just call him Stratos?

    he looks a lot like the He-Man character already, screw Mattel they suck anyway.
