    On the fence about this one. Yet, this is only a prototype.

    I'm still going to get this guy, but those legs have me concerned. It's not so much that they are hollow, that's sort of expected given the alt mode. It's more of well those are just two panels folded down with a foot and kneed attached. I kind of wonder how that's actually set up.

    I like it better than Megatron, but it doesn't look like the engineering is that great. I had planned on getting this but now I'm not so sure.

    Looks pretty cool, ill probably pick him up, though I like the look of megatron more for this mold.

    Not digging the weapon for either figure though.

    I think one of this mold will be enough for me, and it looks soooo much better in black. ;)

    I love how he looks so flabbergasted.

    Probably from having a hole shot in his chest.

    Sweet. I might pick this up at retail.

    Looks more fitting as an updated G2 Dreadwing rather than IDW Megatron's temporary body.

    Sorry but dreadwing has been crap since after G1. It should be at least two voyager sized jets, dreadwind and darkwing if memeory serves, (dont need the powermaster thing but it wouldnt hurt) that turn into ONE jet....not this mini crappy thing thats crappy even for megatron(who shoulda been a voyager not a crappy undersized deluxe...way to cheap out hasbro ya chinsey f%$ks). This, along with megs and orion, are EASY passes until they make them properly sized (voyagers at least).

    I'll have to see it in person, but I will more than likely get it.

    As with Megatron, would love to see this in Voyager Size.

    The hollow legs pretty much kill this for me. A simple flap covering that and I would probably be in, but the way that it is just makes it look and feel cheap.

    I believe the phrase "haters gonna hate" applies.

    Then again, if it were complex, (likely the same) people would complain that it should be a simpler transformation.

    Gotta love the internet. Right?

    Wouldn't mind some classic-styled Powermasters.

    Needs a bit of time with a power drill to make it comic-accurate.

    this is the figure in the line (Megs anyway) that I REALLY hope I'm not disappointed with. But...he looks small...
