    Wow. Someone really needed to have fake cheating parts. That hood chest is terrible.

    This. And I already got the Deluxe, at Japanese import prices, just 'cos it's Knock Out. I really like the character and we probably won't get another toy for him since he's a second-stringer Decepticon, but yeesh, if there was ever a TF in need of the Alternity treatment...those colours look horrible, even in person.
    As it is, I'm gonna have to get him prettied up, big-time.

    Sol Fury's one pic makes him look really cool. This picture alone makes me want Knock Out (despite his paint and torso flaws).

    I agree. I think the toy coulda been handled MUCH better [still looks neat though and i WILL be buying it regardless]

    its the curves on the shoulders that i REALLY wish were handled better



    funny story, the look of Knockkouts CGI design [as far as the shoulders go] gives the impression that he's like wearing a fur coat. or has one of those big fur coat collars. [no doubt reinforced by his "always gotta look good" personality]


    i mean, i'm not the only one who sees it am i?

    This guy screams epic reprolabels makeover, but it won't fix the super inaccurate chest.

    Not the best Knock Out design I could have asked for, but I still think he looks like a pretty awesome figure I can't wait to get my hands on! :D

    I think that was definitely intentional. I saw it too.

    I will say, a decent photogallery of this toy does wonders.

    I mean, it's not super-accurate, but I'm not sure you can go from that alt-mode to that robot mode even *with* massive cheating. About the only thing I would have faked is the hood-chest, cause that ironing board he's got on his chest is doing him no favors. Shoulders look better than I first thought though.

    The modified chest transformation makes him look pretty good! I will certainly be picking Knock Out up!

    After seeing good pictures of it, this mold looks way better than I had originally thought it did, and I'll definitely be getting it. The paint job is absolutely horrible, however. At first, I was hoping Reprolabels would be able to take care of it, but now I'm thinking of redoing it entirely, to make it look more like the preliminary pic we saw of SG Drift at Botcon, with white in robot mode, white stripes, only one shade of red, and a purple windscreen. Less show accurate, but I like that paint job a whole lot more.

    I'm not impressed with his paint or the head.

    I'm glad that his chest can get a bit more accurate. That is really nice... and I would pick him up for that if not for the paint.

    The head throws me off because the optic color is too close to the helm color and just looks cheap. And that sucks because he's probably my favorite in the series.

    Just got my hands on this figure and I really like it. It's right up there with Wheeljack and soundwave as the best thus far IMO.

    Transformation is unique and fun. Bot mode has some pretty good articulation and is quite screen accurate if you ask me. He is really small in car mode but folds out into a decent size robot..taller than Wheeljack.

    My complaints are that his parts don't want to stay tabbed in and that he actually has gold paint accents on his hood yet they didn't paint his rims. Unacceptable

    Yeah, that gallery makes him look really good. I'm definitely going to be picking him up.

    just got home in the mail.

    I gotta say, im happy with him from all those previous pictures despite the not so accurate chest and shoulder look. However the first thing i noticed out of the package,,,is how ABSOLUTELY TINY he is as a deluxe cars. Sersiouly I compared him to deluxe movie sideways and DOTM bumblebee,,,and his vehicle mode is two sizes smaller than both of them! I dont know if this was done to make the robot mode scale well with others but if this was done as a economical reason it is absolutely not ok! has anyone also noticed this problem???

    Well, PRiD Cliff's alt mode is downright dinky as well.
