    It's also messed up that the box it comes in says "Freedom is the right of all sentient being".

    I think context is important though

    The toy turns into a Nazi car because that's what Bumblebee turned into in the film for the express purpose of infiltrating and fighting Nazis

    This just seems tasteless

    Very fair.

    Yah know if it was bigger, the original version of that mold could pass as a serviceable MPM. Would need some corrected hand blasters though.

    Seeing my 2007 cast, almost complete Constructicons, and Wreckers, it just instills childlike happiness into me haha.

    If I was collecting WFC the amount of exclusives will drive me nuts. Thankfully for SS the only exclusive we have that is needed to complete a team is Leadfoot.

    it os the OS KO, I repainted many of these, they are perfect scale for the SS deluxe cars.

    If you want bigger, you could consider blie circus BC-02 and get BMB prime and Ironhide and be in great scale shape with the HA bots

    On this variation of the original scene of the film, I would have many doubts... ! First, the Wreckers were the only Autobots not to be taken hostage (because they are too bad and too armed to give up...); second, Shockwave himself had to protect himself from the "hail of bullets" of the Wreckers, shielding himself with a car found on the street...! In short, even for Shockwave... the Wreckers are too dangerous!

    Wow. I have so much to say. All my issues with this thing are still there for sure. The transformation looks super over-engineered and the end result in both modes looks compromised but just the fact that it's different than all the other knight primes I have makes me want to experience the transformation for myself. Not enough to buy it though. I think I could transform Challenger three times in the time it takes to do this one once and it'd be more fun too. There are some clever and fun tricks though. I also just hate how TW wants to cover every single square inch with layers and layers of paint. The truck mode especially looks so bad paint-wise, not to mention that the complex transformation leads to way more gaps in weird places on the truck mode than necessary.

    I can't believe people thought this would replace Challenger. I knew from the beginning that this was going to look bad. I mean, bot mode is OK, but truck mode is a disaster, and the transformation looks way more complex than it needed to be. Challenger looks better in both modes and with a quarter of the steps.

    I wanna like this thing just cause I want a more accurate looking Knight Prime, and this one succeeds in the feet, legs and arms, but everything else is trash.

    I could careless if it was just the alt mode that sucked, but they sacrificed both modes, just to sell it at an incredibly absurd price.
    I know you got answers, but I figured I'd give some comparison shots. Forgive the crappy lighting.

    If you want your MPMs to scale together, LS03 won't work, he's absurdly big.

    Agreed. It's the same thing they did with freedom leader: shitloads of paint, compromised alt mode, overly complex transformation and a crapton of accessories to distract you from the other stuff. At least FL looked awesome in bot mode. This one just looks wonky.

    Does anyone know if there's any sort of lego Cade Yeager or lego humans from bayverse to go with studio series scale? I'd love to have a bunch of those black ops soldiers from AOE for my Evasion Optimus to knock around especially that Agent Savoy and Attinger

    I was considering to buy Challenger (more precisely Destroyer variant in purple or green), but its price skyrocketed... not it is more expensive than this Toyworld... and it's way out of my budget :( ((

    Trust me, Ultimate Bumblebee is absolutely worth buying. He was the first Transformer I ever got, and sparked my passion for TFs that continues to this day. I still display him on my shelf and he fits right in. He has a really cool-looking (and gigantic) Camaro mode too, as big as my ls06 megatron. His lights and sounds are really fun, and the transformation is involved yet rewarding.
