    Why isn't he a pleasant little number. He's mine when he comes out.

    It's not really arabic shoes, though. He has some sort of stopper on the wheel that acts like his 'toes', but on the toy they are a bit too far off the wheel (probably so they won't jam the wheels).

    I can see why people would say that he has, though.

    Ah well, Aladdin-toes Bumblebee it is then. Not sure I dig that as it always puts me in mind of a sinister character, but whatever.

    dredging up an almost 30 year old toy doesn't excuse bad proportions IMHO. I really in general am liking the design, but yeah, the bulky torso with almost no waist and really skinny arms and legs is just not working for me. the over-detailed head looks a little off too.

    I am kind of hoping the pose is making him look "dumpier' than he actually is...

    I've been less then thrilled with the overall design aesthetic of the game though, so i'd be fairly surprised if i did like the toys. (Soundwave looks good though, hope his toy is killer)

    It's alright, but not as amazing as I thought it would be. The head is absolutely G1, and the torso also has a blocky look - but then the arms and especially legs are very movie-style insect-like and spindly. The design just doesn't flow together as well as the game model.

    I do like that they took out all the crazy red lining, though.

    Just got my issue today. He looks pretty good. I'm not sure he's one I'll pick up, but he's decent anyway. His torso looks oddly wide & a bit large for the rest of him (head, arms, legs). Arm stingers are a nice thought, blades look pimp. Yellow or yellowish energy for the blades would have been cleaner, imo. Very decent head design. I dig it. Face doesn't look all that impressive, but it doesn't look horrible either. Vehicle mode looks kickass, and it reminds me of Bayformers Bee's mask.

    You know if I had seen the toy before the game model, I may have liked it better.
    Course I still eventually would have seen the in game model, and then I'd be all like "Hey wait a minute..."

    I donno. I just really like the design of the game model, and the figure just seems to lack a lot of that visual personality the in game character has.

    Oh yeah...I can kinda see it.
