    I guess if he's gonna be always standing, might as well look cool doing it.

    These are supposed to be $20, right? I think I'm sold. I'm pretty confident I can customize some knees on him.

    Need more comparison pics.

    Ankle tilts without knees???

    OK HasTak, now you are just trolling us, first it was waist swivel, then wrist swivel, then AoE aka "gorilla arms in the mist", and now this?

    What is your logic? You end up with more paint on this, which is ok I guess, but articulation is way more important IMO

    Whatever, just another line I can safely say I will most likely pass on...

    ...well maybe just one, but only on clearance, and I'm still gonna bitch about it...

    ...well maybe not on clearance, and maybe ill only complain a little...

    ...screw it! I'm going on eBay NOW, buying it at an inflated rate, and proclaiming it the best thing ever!!!




    No not really, I have very little interest in this line, however if I see a grimlock for 10$ or lower, I might bite

    Not bad. Obviously these are intended more for younger fans, so while the lack of knee joints is odd, I'm guessing he'll still be a lot of fun for the intended demographic.

    If these replace Titans and One-Step Changers, I will be truly happy.

    Its a nice figure and I'll get him when he's on sale. Not going to get him new as I'm not going to pay full price on kneeless Transformers.

    He'll probably be a better pair for CW Megatron than CW or Classics Prime simply for the height.

    i'm a sucker for Prime and this looks fun. The lack of knees is regrettable, but whatever.
    Thanks for the photos!

    I can live without knees but those hollowed out forearms look terrible.

    No knees=no purchase.

    i think i've figured it out. this is hasbro's way of getting people to buy Hero mashers. because if you release a transformer without basic articulation, people will buy the heavily jointed action figures to use as parts fodder to custom rig SOME GODDAMNED KNEES ONTO A 20 DOLLAR TOY!

    Hopefully they make a proper transforming version of this. Hopefully. Hopefully. Hopefully.

    Looks awesome, even better if it's just as sturdy as the 2014 beast hunters voyager Optimus.

    I don't understand why this one lacks knees yet has ankles. That doesn't make sense to me. Hollow parts I can overlook due to the target market and price point. Lack of knees on an otherwise fully articulated figure confuses me. Even moreso when the smaller 7" figures seem like they might have more articulation.
