    Now that's intriguing. I like it. Cross Dimension hasn't let me down yet.

    Very different alt mode, but I dig it

    Bot mode is groovy

    Hard to get good sense of scale from the comic, but looks to be bigger than striker manus

    This looks awesome (and I'm finally getting a good replacement for my classics Jetfire)

    Maketoys is the most innovative company in the business. Everybody else simply does old things in new packaging hence Geewun and even IDW. But this, this actually takes imagination. I am buying this on principle alone.

    Loving it so far. The design of the bot mode is awesome (those heroic proportions tho) and I'm really into the quintet alt mode. Really hope he has a deployable faceplate though, the Jetfire look would be fantastic on this mold.

    Nice, another upgrade from the Classics line.

    This seems to be the trend at the moment. But it is good that Maketoys is tapping into the circa 2005 aesthetics with their Galaxy and CD lines. I am really fond of the simple transformation and don't like the panel formers of real vehicle alt modes.

    Love that alt mode. Seems like it'll be a bad ass design.

    I don't know if I'm digging the alt mode that much, but the robot mode is a thing of beauty.

    If we are going by the Classics lineup, we should expect Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Mirage and Hot Rod. There is also Astrotrain.

    Cool. Alt mode is different, not sure how much I like it now but I'm willing to give it a try.

    Holy moly, that's gorgeous. And his alt mode is still a Quinjet, nice!
    And the bot mode is all kinds of sexy. All the robot proportions I love.

    A little miffed we didn't see CD Seekers, but Buster and Galvatron were enough to distract me from their lack of presence.
