    No bowing. Only goose-stepping. And every chair is a recliner for him!

    So kid's toys are infallible? No matter how shit you make them, they're just kid's toys so by definition they have to be fine?

    Next thing you know, they'll start having no articulation at all.
    The quality is dropping and the prices are rising. Glad I stopped collecting.
    Seriously, was it really too hard to add knees?
    Who is hiring these toy designers? Peter Griffin?

    I wish Hasblo would stop wasting time on making toys for kids, and get back to making toys that will look good in my parents basement. I will likely pick up 2 of these Primes, one for me and one for my 4 yr old nephew. The truck is a little rough, but I think the bot mode actually looks better than the combiner wars voyager Prime.

    To me, this thing blows away Titan Hero 10" figures and those rid 3 step changers and the AOE twist and change/flip and change figures. It's just... KNEE JOINTS! Add knees and I would be all over this!

    I am actually kind of excited about this line. I don't know how it goes for your kids, but my daughter and nephews just can't handle the little parts and complex transformations of the figs we love and are too old for the little kid ones. I love seeing bots that look good, but are simplified enough and strong enough to be played with.

    This would make a great base for an awesome Toxitron.

    I used to be a Transformer like you, then I took a Hasbarrow to the Knee.

    Looks pretty sweet otherwise. More interested in the Starscream tobehonest.

    My thoughts exactly, though it looks nice for what it is. Not extremely detailed but not without merit. If I was a young fan looking for a big Optimus that was easy to transform, this is the one I would want.

    I wonder what these will retail for? Around $35 maybe?
