• "Dear Hasbro, I would totally like a mediocre G1 Transformers game. That will totally show Michael Bay!" Dude get over it.

• Optimus is pretty good, not as good as G1 but a far better than Bayformers. Megatron is OK, but I'd have preferred a big fucking fusion cannon on his arm. Still, this shits all over Bayformers, and I can't wait for the game, even if it's just average the Transformers licence alone should make it worth it (like the Ghostbusters game).

• The problem is that these are supposed to be pre-G1 toys, so you're stuck with Megatron needing to have a giant cannon on one arm. Which limits the alt-modes possible, and it's further limited because they just came out of three lines of him being some sort of air vehicle.

• I see what you did there.

• They're fusions of Transformers Animated and DreamWave's War Within versions,but both were variations on the G1 forms so that didn't make them look like Bionicles. Either way: Better than Bayformers. =D

• I see that I am not the only one that is tired of megatron being a shitty tank with a big ass cannon.

• Amen

• Is that Megatron mis-transformed? There's detail on the alt-mode that looks like tracks but aligned wrongly. Also on his robot mode there's no sign of the big gun, and his forearms are split open.

• I like Prime's bot mode, need to see more pics of his alt mode. Megatron isn't doing for it me. Boring alt mode and his robot mode is a lot like Animated. I loved Animated but hated the Megs figure. That said, I will, of course, buy them both. Anything that ain't movie-related is ok by me.

• I didn't mean it in a bad way, it was just an observation. G1 Megatron is my favorite, then equally Armada and Animated. He's epic badass no matter what universe. Off topic: I would give up my right arm for a Megatron Origin figure.

• Dino-Megatron: This one has an eye for quality, yeeeeeeeeeess

• which kinda bugs me: was there a real imminent need for the bots to transform other than just to travel somewhere faster? i mean, seriously, are there REALLY red-and-blue trucks and flying tanks OTHER than prime and megs zipping around in cybertron that we didn't know about? the point of "robot in disguise" kinda gets moot when everybody knows your color-scheme, doesn't it? the mind boggles...

• ...i...i had a nerdgasm... ...but then i saw the cybertron vehicle mode and go "meh" and had enough time to change my pants. guess they need mecha-futurtastic-trucks in cybertron to tow...stuff, m i rite? ...but then i saw the screen with optimus' robo mode...and had ANOTHER nerdgasm...

• I think the thing that seems to throw the vehicle modes off is the noticeable lack of any cockpit or windshield that we so often associate with vehicles--though a tank is somewhat different in this respect. It's an interesting approach considering that's always been a logical hangup when it comes to the Cybertronian modes of Transformers.

• they don't release just one line at a time. take a look at hasbro's site. it's a cluster fuck of series'

• I don't think I'll ever put Optimus into that vehicle mode... ever. WFC Optimus' Bot-mode is like Hasbro performed a vigorous act of fellatio to my eyes.

• "Megatron looks a little too similar to the Animated version." You say that as if it's bad. Animated Megs was the second-best Megatron ever (only Beast Wars Megatron is better)...

• Thing is, it takes ~ 1 year to design and make a toy. Any further figures wouldn't come out until a year after the game, and at that point the line for TF3 will be in full swing. Anything beyond the initial wave is a maybe, and doubtful nothing above the deluxe, maybe voyager, pricepoint.

• only for the initial release. if the game and first wave sell well they'll make more. just look at all the new molds and repaints they just released from the past movie.

• That was actually the Roll Out Command Animated Optimus Prime that's out now...these guys aren't in stores yet.

• Well played, Hasbro. You have come up with yet another way to separate me from my money.

• Not real impressed with Megatron's vehicle mode there. It looks rather generic and indiscriminate, as if it was having an identity crisis.The robot mode is good, though.

• Sorry, but UGO wasn't the first to show off Optimus. Of all places, I saw him in the hands of Pee-Wee Herman on the Tonight show in a skit in which the new Prime was Conan O'Brien's lawyer. (Conan was a giraffe).

• Loving Optimus, alright on Megatron... but I still want a Starscream figure! D:

• Nah, it was a different issue. It's been fixed since I've posted.

• Megatron looks a little too similar to the Animated version. But I am fapping to that Optimus Prime.

• Which means "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

• Eh, looks pretty generic. I don't really see any reason to buy one when I've got Classics Optimus on my shelf already.

• Had the same issue, then noticed there's a link to the right of optimus for the next photo. Hope that helps. These look ridiculously awesome btw.

• Supposedly this line is going to be only 4 figures - Prime, Megs, Bumblebee and Soundwave. Which means "no" on the big guys.

• Love the Prime. Meh on Megs. His robot mode is sorta ok, I have no idea what the hell his vehicle is supposed to be apart from a blob with a big gun on it. Still, with Prime and Bumblebee as wins and Megs as a sorta ok, it bodes big possibilities for this toyline.

• I read this on Shortpacked last night, who posted it from UGO... ...YOU JUST RIPPED OFF DAVID WILLIS YOU BASTARD HOW DARE YOUUOUOUOUOUOUOU! *nerdfroth* Loving Optimus...not sold on the "flying Cybertronian tank" that Megs is sporting. Then again, I didn't like his Cybertronian Animated model (which this reminds me of) either. The bot mode is "teh s3x" however.

• Yeah I'm buying this and the game when it comes out. I read the article game informer had in it and it looks friggin sweet.

• I am absolutely loving these new figures and will definitely lay out the scratch for them. And the best thing about them is that when I buy these figures, <I>Micheal Bay won't get on fucking red cent of my money!<?I> It's a double win.

• This is a good day for nerds.

• Love the robot modes, don't care much for the vehicle modes.

• The links aren't working right. They keep just going to the Optimus pic. Which looks awesome, btw.

• New G1 Omega Supreme and Trypticon figures? I'd have a pure seizure of joy.
