    Regardless, their decision to use the FE Prime Prime transformation scheme was a stroke of genius. I absolutely love the fact that the legs are wheel-less, just like they should be and how all the kibble is tucked away extremely neatly. All in all, I'm quite impressed and excited to see how the final product turns out.

    As I always choose to stick with HasTak whenever possible, I'll be waiting to see what their offering will be like. However, if they drop the ball again, I'm more than happy to fill the gap that HasTak has left empty since ROTF Prime with this 3P figure.

    Looks like manure, oh well it is Hasbro kids stuff anyway.

    The proportions look bad, but the transformation process is neat.

    The shapes are kinda weird looking, but this is just an early render. Im sure the finished product will look better.

    I'll be impressed if anyone can pull of a movie accurate Robot and Vehicle form.

    AoE was a major departure from recognizable vehicle parts on robots in general which I felt was a backward step despite the robots themselves looking pretty cool.

    People always say this and it's rarely the case.

    Though I agree, it looks pretty terrible. Very simplified, awkward proportions, very basic CAD-drawn shapes. The head looks downright awful. Sure, copying the FE Prime's transformation with tweaks gives a more kibble-less robot, but it's at the expense of virtually everything else.
