i don't think it looks all that bad. i'll definitely get it. but... how 'bout instead of applying so much photoshopped "shine".. why don't you (hasbro) give us a nice shiny paint job.. god knows we're paying for it.
You scratch my Paint and I'll scratch yours. fantastic looking knockout overall. Hopefully the small problems will be better in hand after the mis-transformation is resolved. But it does look accurate enough to me. considering the weapon ports had to be here for both the Hasbro weapons and the takara microns.
I hate the bad photoshopping but I like the way he looks. As a Hasbro publicity photo, it is Ape Law that the figure is mistransformed. Going off of the prototype, the mold looks great. I'll definitely get this guy, especially as I love character.
It does look weird. I wonder if he's just mistransformed. Seems his head should be a little bit lower, and his shoulder kibble a little bit higher
So sad that they have the "B-TEAM" working on the RID Prime toys. The first edition design team was much stronger in engineering and aesthetics. Man, what wasted opportunity. That photoshop job is horrendus. I truly hope they bring back the First Edition team or else sadly I'm avoiding all Prime main line toys.
I'm sure it's mistransformed, but I can definitely say that Knockout looks like a real...*puts sunglasses on* knockout toy. YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! Sorry. It had to be done.
Well this is a definite buy for me. Obviously parts of the figure are mistransformed (when arent the first pics mistransformed?) but overall I'm liking the look.
I'm actually hoping they show off RID Powerizers/Voyager/whatever BULKHEAD tomorrow, or at least very soon. It would be nice to put the whole FE Bulkhead thing to bed if possible.
Considering the waist, chest and arms all appear to be mistransformed, not horrid, but still I mighty big pass for now. I suppose now's a safe time to say I really don't like Knockout that much. I find the character to be somewhat amusing but otherwise uninteresting and his design does nothing for me. It's just another car TF with a generic Prime-style face. (which is to say long, pointed with a forhead crest) He doesn't even have a cool weapon, just that generic spear.
Even if that's mistransformed, there is no way it ends up as nice looking or accurate as I would like it to be. It's simply not fabulous enough to be Knockout.
Could use some work but it's still...............................................................................................................................................................KICKASS!!!!!!!!
that's a little unfair. voyager prime cliffjumper and bumblebee first editions were better. but the rid vehicon and arcee look better. we have yet to see what bulkhead is going to look like. but also with RiD.. soundwave looks great, wheeljack looks great, if cliffjumper had the first editions arms, he'd be more accurate looking, voyager megatron looks great, same with skyquake. so. like i said, it's just a little unfair to say that they've done a horrendous job.
Could be worse. Could be better. I'll buy it, because I love the character. Wish it was tighter, but It's close enough I guess.
