It's a 6-wheeled taurine machine!
Another scout toy that sort of throws scale to the wind, he's carrying enough ginseng and herbal extracts to leave you far too threatened by his titanic titanium testicles to call him out for it. Transformation
It's very simple. It's based on a fairly advanced flip-change style automorph.
And it's -damn cool-. The entire back panel of the truck pivots to become his chestplate, while the front of the truck folds in on itself. Really glad to see an automorph this cool on a scout-sized toy.
Also, those big side panels have very tight slots that clip around the truck's side-mirrors, so it's an extremely solid transformation. Robot Mode
He'll kick your ass.
This guy's headsculpt does look very Prime-esque. But it also looks like a terrifying robotic football player. His robot mode is really simple, and devoid of any real gimmicks or weaponry.
...but to be perfectly honest, I don't mind. This guy also looks really powerful. The chestplate and backplates are a small hindrance to his arms, but it's really not a big deal. Overall Thoughts
If you were going to skip a scout, I would say this guy would be worth passing over. By no means do I think he's a bad toy, he's just kind of boring compared to the rest. However, if you're into simple, solid transforming robots, I'd say go for him.

It does seem like the most pass-worthy of the ones we've seen so far.  Black Prime...Black Soundwave...Black Incinerator...Black Taco |

I love that Hasbro has no qualms saying, "HEY! THIS GUY TURNS INTO A RED BULL TRUCK. SO THERE."
Man, all 4 of these guys look quite nice. Looks like they'll all be getting purchased by me. JARODIMUS Newest Addition(s): TF:RotF Fearswoop & Soundwave ("Gathering at the Nemesis"). |

If you say Sol is Optimus' cousin, why then--according to Sol's end video monologue--is his mother also Optimus'?
