    Good looking statue for cartoon accurate version of prime I have no use for statues

    Very boring looking for giant alien robot not enough realism to blocky to cartoony, don't see superheroes in live action movies taking one there cartoon costumes wolverine with mask, hawkeye with big purple mask some things to be made into live action movies change is good batman begins costume, batman and robin costume sequel to Tim burton movie new director gave batman and robin BAT NIPPLES on costume,. Wolverine mask to be have on in movie be big goofy laugh entire time he have it on while fighting something's need change and transformers in live action movies need change of look to look more realistic realism who want see transformer big blocky boring looking that look like giant legos on movie screen because some people want giant alien robots to be more blocky cartoony looking instead realism realistic look in what they would look like in real world standing in front of us now,.

    People don't like how bots look in movies don't watch them don't keep up with movie news, get rid of all movie toys, if every time I get dollar for one person says if movie bots could look more like statues, toy made by third party company I be rich every year someone says this comment some bots look bad others look good let it go complaints about it is not going make it better you cartoon boring blocky transformers watch animated movie and series you want realistic looking alien robots from another planet watch live action movies.

    Generation one scorponock headmaster is same size as grimlock in comics that makes sense

    Very nice, but something tells me this is going to be way out of my price range.

    Man this looks great. Would've been cool if it was an action figure instead, even if it was a non-transforming one.

    Magnificent statue. Modern, high-tech looking, but with enough G1 touches here and there to keep us traditional G1 fans happy. :) 

    After checking the latest pictures, however, I would have changed the base/background a little bit. Some parts remind me way too much of the typical background used for states of the ALIEN saga...(it might be the tail-like things wrapping around the base...perhaps...)

    Why does everything have to look like G1 when there have been so many alternate universes that have not used that look?

    They treat it like its some god. I for one am happy they don't resemble G1 much. G1 isn't the only TF show.

    Maybe because that was what everyone else was thinking when the first bayformer movie was announced. I am a g1 fan, but I do love alternate universe verisons of characters cause change can be good, but changes made for bayformers wasn't good for mostly every single one of the characters all except ironhide and hound who had at least some likeable personality unlike most of the othes.

    Gah, this looks pretty bad. I'm not a fan of the G1 design with Movie level details. That's like saying 343i's Master Chief looks better than Bungie's. I am fully on board for that head though.

    Now why couldn't Bay do something like this for the movie. This is how you do Transformer without looking like a lego building block but yet still look alien.

    I don't know about this one specifically, but some of the other XM releases were well over $1000. Then shipping was going to be about $300 on top of that.
