    Figure looks pretty nice, has a TF Cybertron/GalaxyForce feel to him. His colours are definitely very bright, better for kids i guess.

    However this FACE! What is wrong with his face? Looks like he is scowling and looks kind of evil actually. Could we have closer looks at his face?

    I see the face that everyone thinks their seeing. But I don't honestly believe that's a face. I think it's a trick of the light on a very badly designed faceplate.

    Yeah, I think that's what it looks like, only meant to be a faceplate.

    That's a tired old line, but anyway I really don't think that's the issue here.

    There's plenty of change of course, though it still reflects designs from the past. The problem is that it's just not one of their better efforts. They're not doing anything particularly inventive or original here, and other than that the execution just looks very cheap and second-rate.

    At least it's a step up from the previously released pics.

    Interesting looking toy.

    Lots of weapons to pick from.

    I'll take this over the craptacular weaponizer any day.

    We should soon have more pictures. These dudes from ACToys seem to have a fetish for publishing just a few pics per day. They could've had a very detailed pictorial review already.

    Then we'll know for sure.

    I wonder if it's just Predaking on his cross sell ?

    And if the poor chap has no wrist swivels and his hands are just blue painted extensions of his forearms.

    Takara/Hasbro meeting...

    Exec 1: Hey, you remember those designs for the follow up to Transformers Cybertron/Energon/Armada? Yeah we should tweak those a little and make Prime look like that again... oh and you know what else? We could reformat Prime and then have Gary Chalk replace Peter Cullen.

    Exec 2: Yeah! That's a great idea then we can just cycle this with Beast Wars and Beast Machines and trudge out those old Transtech molds we never used.

    Exec 1: HIGH FIVE!!

    Those Wings. :drool:  Why can't Hasbro get someone to transform them correctly before they make the stock photos.

    This toy is seriously full of epic. The vehicle and chest harken back to Animated so and he's got the Star Saber Sword too. I can forgive the headscuplt and the green tinted windows because this toy is nothing short of epic.

    Hasbro has officially got my wallet.
