NIDARAM12:
Awesome. Looks badass now! I still think it's a preview figure, though... but that doesn't mean it's any less cool.
General Tekno:
Why do I get the feeling that these are the pics that Yizhi showed the people who were interested in buying the figure?
Peaugh, can you confirm or deny that?
Bass X0:
Its NOT G1 Soundwave so yes, liberties can be taken with how he looks even his face.
Ash from Carolina:
Looks a little busy in the mask area. Wonder if that's just for the Cybertron mode or if the Earth mode will also look that way?
Bendimus Prime:
Wow, I really like the movie take on the G1 head, very cool. I'm with NIDARAM12 on this being a new Deluxe preview figure, maybe followed up by a Voyager class Earth mode?
Eric:
Dear Fwiffo,
You owe me a new pair of pants. I crapped myself in sheer amazement of this toy.
Sincerely, Eric

Anywho, I have to agree with Nidaram12, this has to be a preview figure of sorts. I mean, it IS the first ROTF toy we've actually seen so far (not counting Universe Superion, that's just a Universe toy in ROTF packaging). If so, then maybe we might see more Preview figures...
eyeballkid:
Hmmm....too much grey, and the sculpted fists are kinda odd. Hopefully he looks better in the movie. His face is also longish, yet reminiscent of Soundwave.
No way in hell I'm buying this.

Nope, these are new to me. And STILL mistransformed, albeit closer to the actual product.
Grimlocka go-go:
Interesting, must have one weird looking altmode, and i agree about an earlier "vector prime" feel to it
joshua:
WOW. i want. now.
i love the movie line. it was a chance to make the TFs be more mecha-human, and less robot...
i like it. but he has closed fists. no weapons.
gonzo23:
Yeah, it looks like a preview toy like the protoforms from the last movie! It just doesnt look very detailed nor a very complex transformation!
NIDARAM12:
Why are those retards on Don Murphy saying he has a mouth already? I mean even Gaogaigar has the same kind of "mouth" except it isn't a mouth.
Baird:
Looking at this, I bet we get a nice insectoid mouth in the film.
Body design is a mess too.
Hound & Mirage:
Wow. Hey. Not as bad as genocide. I guess now I'm cautiously pessimistic.
Brave Magnus:
Aaah! So it wasnt a head what popped out of the vehicle mode. Looks good, it does look like a protoform toy. Could have more blue but right now i like it.
revlimiter:
sigh. do not want.
Bumblejazz:
Can't wait to see a properly transformed picture of it.

How much do you think it's really going to change?

Well, I happen to really like the look of this toy. And it can only get better when TF'd properly!
Julliant:
I think if the top part of his mouth plate is pointing upwards he'd look better.
And damnit Fwiffo you're racking news credits

It's not much. Those big shoulder panels fold down against the shoudlers, that piece with the big spike on this back flips up to cover the missile launcher behind his head, the larger triangular piece behind his waist flips up, and the two smaller triangles on the sides flip up on those black struts, then rotate down to his back at that clear blue circle, and then rotate on a ball joint to sit flat against his back. It's not a huge difference, it's mostly kibble arrangement.
ANDROID PRIME:
way to much kibble for my likeing. you can make anything transform easily if your aloud to have that much kibble. I liked to be amazed by transformerations.
Ravenxl7:
I like how he looks, and honestly, the kibble doesn't bother me one bit. I might end up waiting for his Earth-mode though. Just have to wait and see what his other toys will look like in comparison to this one.

Personally I think the hip plates look way cooler as three-part Five Star Stories hip armor.

Yeah, that's one of the things I'm digging about the figure. I think the general bot mode is fairly solid, and the kibble has the ability to be arranged to individual preference.
shroobmaster:
I love his his chest is still DAMNED larged but not a square like some people wanted it to be.
MBSHOOT:
I like the head, but the body is junk...
Nightrain:
Looks like the one from Cybertron but with very bland colors.

Starscreamer95:
I LOVE THIS FIGURE!!! SOUNDWAVE LOOKS FRIGIN AWESOME!!!!!!!
I just think that that`s his Cybertron mode and his Earth mode is the Satalite.
artiepants:
Yuck.
Seems overly messy even for a movie design.
I do like the head though.
AlphaPrime:
Movie designs still = FAIL
bfarneth:
Great! Clearer pictures of the ugliness!
Prime reason I'll be avoiding any movie toys for the next lineup.
Rhinox555:
Looks good, two points off,one for too much kibble, one for bland-looking plastic. means i'll end up repainting mine.
BustaJesse:
It's not for me.
honcho:
I like it enough to buy it, but I wish it had a better paint job. I hope it's somewhat unfinished.
GrimlockAutobot:
In Grimlock voice: Movie Soundwave robot look bad!!! Head design look good!!
DeceptiKreep:
Hmm .... he looks like a fly!
Is that the look they were going for?
adamthered:
God that's ugly.

Wait, you're getting this/got this? How much did you pay for him & how long until we can get some size comparisons and a review?
dark69:
odd but i like it
Satomiblood:
Too much dull gray. But I'm going to try to withhold my judgment on the toys and character designs because it's still early.
