    It still has a flat blue surface trying to be clean and not look like a leg, Hasbro's truck bed has the entire shin area just sitting there, and the bottoms of the feet sticking up. TW is at least clean and not cluttered looking.

    I'll probably get this but I can't say I'm enthralled with it. I'm in the minority that just didn't really even care for the g1 looking bots in the Bee film and between how exciting MPM10 was and the excitement of new G1 Seekers (I'm a nut; sorry) this just kind of.....is. As long as it isn't hot garbage like MPM4 was though I'm sure I'll enjoy it in hand. MPM10 while I do have some gripes with was a solid figure and a very cool one that feels nice and hefty to hold. If this has that kind of vibe I'm down and I'm always up for displaying more MP trucks side by side.

    I passed on Toyworld... largely due to the visible legs and feet... so I have no skin here but Toyworld’s still looks better. And TW has no truck ears either.

    I like this...but the two pegs on the right leg are murder on my eyes...they just look so bad.

    Probably going to get it regardless, but I'm baffled that they couldn't find a better solution that isn't a complete eyesore, even from a distance.

    And kudos to any designer who can hide the rifle between the legs in truck mode and not fold the rifle in half and stick it on the back of the truck.

    I like it. I missed out on the Studio series, so I will pick this up as long as its not crazy expensive.

    My favorite take on G1 prime, and it looks good for an official figure without the need of black magic? Sign me in. Would prefer darker blues; but it's going to be awesome regardless.

    Hope the truck cab is not truly cursed to have bunny ears...

    People keep saying this looks better than any 3P versions.... When it doesn’t even look better than the studio series one.

    This doesn't look better than any of the 3P versions lol Not sure what people are seeing.

    This looks like a studio class figure in comparison to some of them.

    That is the best truck mode of any Voyager figure though. But the bot mode suffered in a few areas. If they had made the feet thinner, the Voyager would be close to perfect.

    Since no one's answered me I'll assume the glass is going to be blue on the final model.

    Once again, Bee Prime is not an FL86 when he is in robot mode. Blame the production team.

    Why do they always make Prime's alt mode wheels so small compared to a real big rig. It's like making the carbots rolling on 10 inch rims.

    This is simply a fact. The official version simply isn't as good, in terms of aesthetics, as either the official SS, OSKO or 3P versions already out.

    Nice try though, kid.

    Looking good given the price point.
