    It's not bad, however it's a clear step back from the other core class figures in my opinion.

    Yeah, after getting the Commander class version nothing can compare to that one. This one looks like crap.

    I'm just saying that is a weird cut. They could hollow out basically every other part of the figure with better results. I assume there must be a transformation step involved.

    He looked so much cooler from the packaging's blurry stock photos.

    I don't care about size classes. ....in NO world should a head be hollowed out from the back like that.
    This is, in my opinion, the lowest Hasbro has ever gone.

    I thought the wheel debacle from a few lines back was bad, with blatant holes in them, and mismatched colored pegs they snap onto......DAMN, THIS BEATS the by miles.

    (unless of course, there is some odd transformation step that warrants it, but still)

    hollow head you are not going to see is not a problem so don't understand that. I'm more perplexed by these wank ass clip on wheels they keep going back to. why didn't they do them like core class primes!

    I’ve been a big fan of what we’ve seen so far, but I also think that hollowed-out back of head is really unsightly. All the Core Class figures of G1 characters have hollow heads with holes in the back, but none have taken it to this level (Megatron’s even makes for a creepy alternate face).

    Still excited for it overall but agree that barring some kind transformation requirement the head is a disappointment.
