    Can someone post a closer lookup of the CGI model above shoulders?

    Lucky you because almost every single piece of official hasbro licensed merchandise had him with the pre-knight arms (even though he still had the sword and shield which doesn't make sense).

    A switchout would be awesome, although very hard to do on a transforming figure. Also after the annoyance of freedom leader's switchout parts I wouldn't trust anyone to do it right.

    Looks too good to be true! The truck looks bit too narrow from front but nevertheless very good, especially from the side! Opening doors and integrated weapons looks nice.

    Wait I just realized that there’s a steering wheel inside the truck and also added details on the calf :eek:

    Dude, I'm nutting. The fact that his arms form the seats and there's even a molded steering wheel, this might possibly be the best alt-mode for aoe/tlk prime ever.
    Sure the front of the truck looks kinda weird, a bit narrow looking, but I think overall the good outweighs the bad.

    Now I just gotta wait patiently for the release date...

    The smoke stack guns makes it little inaccurate but I don’t mind it at all. Now praying for no QC issues.

    Now we see how much they sacrificed for the perfect robot mode :)  MASSIVE partsforming when you can't utilize every component at once (double set of 2 guns and that wonky shield o_O ) and the truck mode somehow looks weirder than Knight Orion's imo

    This reminds me of TW's Shatter's car mode (and she's a tripple changer) :p  Still, a very impressive piece of engineering, the robot mode looks incredible but they're not miracle workers and in the end everything comes at a price...

    They said they’re making changes to the shield ;) 
    Also the truck looks better than Orion IMO. The wheels look too small and truck looks narrow tho.
    But still a worthy sacrifice for this bot mode :lol

    Is this referencing when Optimus gets impaled by his own sword in AOE?

    If the guns can be stored on him somewhere, I can live with it, if not, it's a drawback imo...

    Personally I think this looks much better than Knight Orion. Orion's truck mode looks far too out of proportion to me with the big wheels and sides and small grill and scrunched up windows.
    Plus if the parts forming simply consists of weapon storage, I think that's fine.

    Well, for me KO truck is around 6/10 while TMT is 5/10 so they're both quite unfortunate in my book :D  but for the amount of kibble you can attach and reattach between the modes in TMT I was expecting something better. Fingers crossed that they're still improving him.

    Clearly the best :cool:

    I've analyzed this figure. Looks like both of the guns are turned into smokestacks and the side of the figure, really clever engineering.
    (I hope that the gun engineering isn't like BA Prime guns, I still got a flashback from it)

    Never cared about that one but I heard transforming him was a success itself so probably
