    Looks like its heading in the right direction, and fantastic for a first physical prototype. Expectations are to the moon!

    Right? Like this prototype looks ten times better than their own bumblebee prototypes in terms of quality imo

    The only thing I don't like is they are going with weathered paint on Bot mode and clean paint on alt mode like TC02

    Has this been confirmed? Cause that IS what I want. The movies always show a clean alt mode and a dirty bot mode.

    I think I know why I’m not as hyped as I should be. Posing. Whoever is behind this is horrible at posing and taking pictures of this to make it look amazing. TW and other companies knocked it out of the park when showing off their slim detailed designs.

    I'm actually glad we get to see the "worst" sides of him. Like you said, other companies did a great job with the poses and pictures and their figures looked amazing. When reviewers posted their videos and pictures, we started to the less appealing sides of at least some of those figures. Take Unique Toy's TLK Megatron for example. His initial pictures with dark backrounds and artistic poses were great at hiding gaps and what little kibble he has, but as the reviewer content came out, people started to take note of those things; some to the point that they no longer wanted the figure.

    At least this way, we see the figure for what it really is before getting it in hand. If anything, with the promises of continuing improvements, he will only look better from here on out.

    I hope they have realistic weathering and not TC-02 Bee weathering where it doesn’t look good when close up. I’m also want clean alt mode and weathered bot mode, I’m sure the transformation will allow this as most bot mode components are not vesible the vehicle mode.

    These prototypes are insanely delicate. Plus they are still making improvements so it's not even a final product. If anything this makes it MORE impressive because it just feels like it's some guys in their house or something making these amazing things that look better than anything else available (which is exactly what's happening!). Like someone making a custom work except we actually get to purchase it someday!
    I completely agree (although Dragoon is a great figure). TW has amazing-looking pictures that are designed to hype you up but they're photoshopping the shit out of them and adding backgrounds and choosing specific angles that make the figure look good and even sometimes showing off paint apps and things that aren't even there on the final product! Why would you want a company to have to use photoshop to make their shit look good? Because you lack imagination?
    Yeah I'm hoping for this as well and good point with this design it's more possible since the bot mode has almost zero truck parts.

    The Neck looks so Horrible.
    Someone tell this TMT Guy to fix that!
    The Head seems like it is floating in the Air. Not good.

    Otherwise all Weapons are there.
    But no Energon Blades??
    I want to see those.

    I’m kinda worried the plug in energon swords won’t show up, did someone ask him if they were still gonna be with the figure?
