    I won't be surprised if they don't. Would have been nice, but it's not a deal breaker for me. Though looking at Prime's gun, it looks as though it could become the handle for his axe. Megatron could still, theoretically, have his mace.

    On a side note, it'll be interesting to see what repaints we get from the four WfC figures. I'll be surprised if we don't see a Nemesis Prime themed repaint from Prime's figure.

    I am personaly satisfied with my Prime and not interested in picking up this one unless its bigger which would make it better for, megs i might get only cause I am not satisfied with galvatron as a leader, I do hope they come out with more of the cast especially soundwave. Are they to be released all over or just at certain sites? Also, when do they get released?

    Regardless of personal opinion, it's pretty clear they either chose not to make the toy game accurate or couldn't make it game accurate b/c the game uses "anime magic" to help with the transformation.

    But again, I like the bigger head. I don't like the tiny wheels and the sharply angled chest (which I can't see a reason for other than the designers personal taste).

    We haven't seen pictures, but we do know Soundwave is getting released. Beyond that, we don't know if any others will be made.

    From what we know, they should be wide releases (aka everywhere TF's are usually sold). Though we don't know if Takara is releasing them too or not.

    Not sure, though it's a safe bet it'll be sometime this year.

    This isn't a limited line is it? They're not going to release a few figures only are they? If not then we should expect voyagers presumably with their melee weapons

    It's been described as a limited line. In fact, from what we know, it isn't even an entire line on it's own, just a part of the continuation of Universe under the name TF:Generations. Not that we won't be getting more than the four we know about, just that I'm not expecting many, if any at all, more.

    The more pictures I see of Prime I'm really digging him. Are there pictures anywhere on the net of Bumblebee's vehicle mode? Not liking the Megatron at all.

    Hey guys it has been a while since I have posted here at TFW2005 so for starters...hello.

    I think that these figures are awsome and I am really looking foward to getting the game. For x-mas I got a PS3 so now it is a must have. I didn't get a chance to read this thread throughly but if they mass realease these that would be great. Hasbro needs something to keep up collectors buying. now that ROTF had it run and Animated being pretty much done this may be a new line to threaten our wallets ;)

    OP looks OK-ish, if rather bland.

    Megatron is a mess... again. So many toylines where Megs doesn't get a decent mold...

    Cybertron modes never really appealed to me, they're not really 'robots in disguise' if they all turn into mechanical housebricks!

    Seems like Optimus toy is based in an early concept:

    Notice the gun, the wheels and the silver windshield

    He's actually a hover tank similar to those that the droids from the Star Wars prequel trilogy drove around.

    Man that Optimus rocked. Very cool looking besides his legs looking a bit stubby for me? However I like how his head is now proportionate to his body where in the trailers it was really really small lol

    I wish we could see this Optimus from a different angle. All that crap sticking out the sides of his torso just makes him look all fat and dumpy.

    Since I decided to give up on ROTF stuff (excluding what can pass as Classics/Universe) this will be the only line I'll be collecting until Generations kicks off.

    Of course, it all depends on what the new series will be. If it's tied to WfC as a sequel, then I'll have to take a serious look at it.

    And I think these guys look great despite the idiots who mistransformed them.

    Pretty awesome looking figures, especially the Prime. Megs could be better, but I think I might get these at some point.

    I hate to disagree with anyone on the Internet... but if you look at the arms again more closely I think the pieces inside his arm are the parts that latch his forarms together... the sticky up bit near the edge is a pin that's not been pushed in all the way. the other peices marked with arrow are castors for the vehicle mode.

    Half of his hand and thumb (on the left side) has been swung out the other half of his hand is inside the other 'tread' and the curve can be seen in the tread where it rotates out so he'd have quite small hands Possibly weapons might also be able to be plugged onto him some how (perhaps onto a hole or slider bar on the other side of his arm we can not see in the current pics).

    It looks like his hand is designed to hold 5mm type weapon hafts. which can be judged by the curvature of his thumb and visible fingers.

    I think the piece inside his forarm serves no function in robot mode other than to hold his arms together but might also be a latch used in vehicle mode as I think his treads are spread out when he's in that mode.

    I think the slight misallignments seems to suggest his elbow can swivel above the join and that when his arms spread out to become treads they also rotate below the split 180 degree each so the split is inside the inner part of the treads and the piece inside his forearms would face inwards. and possible what is used to link it to the vehicle body at another point to add stability. so you then have one thin long skinny track on each side of the tank with possibly a slight gap half way along so he's got 4 tracks really like so many Tank Transformers now do. though the edges of the tracks look quite straight so it might look like one track not 4.

    So despite the CGI model looking like he's a hover tank it seems he does have treads on the underside after all.
