Found on Mr_Elljay's Weibo, no good front shots yet. 1 pic from behind, and one lurking in a Springer pic.

Just ... so so so bad  

 

I will agree with you on the Kup version, not interested at all. I've been wanting this mold to be Pax from day one. If they show an awesome head sculpt, there's a sale right there.

Edit: my mistake, this is the DX9 legends scale Orion

 

That's the DX9 version, but if I collected legends, I'd be all over it.

 

Oh, you're right... I see the Dino now. Silly me, I saw those photos earlier and didn't even register

 

Outside of their coneheads and combiners, I just have no interest in anything else Toyworld does. Sorry but every design just aesthetically misses. Everything is so damn blocky with sharp lines over detailing every square inch of the bot. No concept of curves or giving the characters any life. I applaud their ability to get to market quicker than others but they just have lousy designs. They need to stick to combiners and study shapes other than rectangles. Discovering paint versus carved lines wouldn't hurt either.

 

Once we get some actual color photos of him as opposed to a back view and a small front view of a test shot, I'll give me opinion on this.

For now, I think we know too little to be accurately judging it.

 

More CICF fun from Weibo, unpainted test shot:

 

And now PRIME has butt tires. Robot mode is interesting, but the cab is kinda boring. Do we know yet how tall that Prime is compared to MP-10?

Not too keen on that Orion, but I'm not really liking their Kup either. Springer looks really good, though.

 

Not very interesred in orion, I'd get him if he's on slae or something.

 

Agree. Their stuff is pretty terrible honestly. I mean like, really really *really* bad.

I enjoy IDW. If I want a stylized Orion Pax/Optimus, then I'll just get a IDW based figure (which I have).

This figure is neither here nor there. It just looks so terrible. A mish mash of ugly.

Well, that head/face leave a lot to be desired, but I'll assume it's a very early test head.

 

I'm guessing swapable faces and that's the screaming face? Proportions don't look bad actually, will wait and see what he looks like in color.

 

Yeah I'm happy with the general figure, happy it's being made. I think the head could be a bit bigger, but that may be limited by transformation.

 

The chest is a complete miss.
