    I dunno, it looks pretty rotten from where I'm sitting. One too many gimmicks being shoved in. Maybe it's the colours. It just looks like a KO to me.

    I can't believe how much he looks like the shot in bot mode. I hope the Jet is mistransformed.

    Nice looking. Really digging the robot mode, but the jet mode looks like it could give movie SS a run for it's money. Still, looks kind of mistransformed... also looks like it could very well be a deluxe.

    Another pass for me. Is that the finished jet mode or is it mistransformed? The jet mode would be cool except for the tank treads on it. The robot mode looks terrible but that was expected. Hopefully the tank mode is cool looking but regardless no dice for me.

    Love his 'bot mode, but the jet kinda sucks. Those big tank treads intrude too much and ruin the look for me. The jet seems very bulky. I hope it's only mistransformed.

    Crazy how its still hard to tell if its a Voyager or Deluxe. Just shows how great of a job Hasbro has done with the Deluxe line of Animated and the value they filled them with.

    I really don't think that's mistransformed. Or if it is, it's not by much. There's no place to hide all that crap!

    But after twenty-odd years of awful jet modes, we should really be used to them sucking at this point. If this one is worse than the others it's only because it has to turn into a tank and a cartoony robot also. I'll buy him if his tank mode is halfway credible.

    triple changers will always have some compromises, in G1 the compromise could arguably be seen in the robot mode, of course a robo mode can look like anything it wants but the two vehicles are quite amazingly done. G1 blitzwing has the most compromised bot mode (althought the other diaclone that didnt become a TF, plane/coptor has an even weaker bot mode)astrotrain compromises the shuttle mode the most, so maybe in this case less so teh robo mode.

    Anyway my point is that an accurate robot mode was made here with the most compromised made to the plane, something has to give although weve not yet seen the tank, have we? I know a man who has and its less compromised than the jet, the wings make the nice tank plating, and you want cannon fire/flames? wait and see.

    Robot is cool. Jet could be better. Wonder if this will be the same deal as Lockdown, deluxe size vehicle, but transforms to almost voyager size.

    I think they were going for that "puffy Gestapo pants" look.

    in this case i think the chicken drumstick thighs might work better than the more typical skinny thighs in the animated line.
