That thing reminds me of the old Shogun Warriors. Huge chunks of barely-articulated plastic. Their main feature was standing there being huge. Although, to be honest, the Shogun Warriors weren't concave/hollow like that and had way more paint apps.
If your toy can't shoot out your little brother's eye or shoot your cat in the butt, then you don't deserve to be compared to a Shogun Warrior...
Is this a joke? I can go pull a branch off a tree for free that does more interesting things than this. Are people that desperate to spend money?
Ah yes, yet another giant piece of worthless crap that does absolutely nothing interesting that Hasbro is desperate to waste money on and won't get much if any return for it, instead of just using the budget that went to this for toys that would actually be interesting and people would actually care about... *Le Sigh*
Man, I remember when big toys had effort put into them. Unless this thing is $10- fuck that, $5, I don't see the value. Even as a dumbass child I knew I'd rather have a smaller, more interactive, not even like super detailed or painted figure over a giant hollow block.
This thing is incredibl. ..y awful. And before you hit me with the "not the target audience" BS, let me give you legitimate reasons this thing screams giant turd. I won't even complain about the articulation because you can have a giant brick toy that's still awesome as all get out. This doesn't qualify. 1. Paint apps. This thing could be improved immensely by just filling in a few places here or there with some paint. 2. Details. Large areas of smooth plastic without any form of detail become uninteresting really, really quickly. 3. Hollowness. I'm not saying they need to completely fill in every limb here, but put some effort into molding it in such a way that the arms look like something other than a sheet of plastic that's been slightly bent to resemble one and a quarter sides of what should be a four sided object and just leave the rest empty. 4. Boring. This is essentially a combination of all of the above, plus pop on the "yet another Bumblebee" icing. If it were super, SUPER cheap, like $5 cheap, I would consider picking one up just to build onto, paint, and make it interesting just so I could hold it up to Hasbro and go, "See what you could have done with this disaster?" It still wouldn't qualify as a nice toy, but at least it would look better.
Collectors: “Haha, Hasbro you so dumb. Look at that giant piece of garbage”. Hasbro: “Interesting” <Don’t these guys realize we don’t make things we think won’t sell?>
I’m not sure I need to for a number of reasons not the least of which is it is not targeted to me, I don’t work in Hasbro marketing and aren’t privy to the numbers driving the decision to make it.
