Wow.. I will usually defend the movie toys, but theese look like a huge step backwards. Why make a craptastic voyager Prime when they have the vastly superior BB Optimus from the RotF line? The only thing I can think of is it coming with the trailer. Man I hope the trailer works with my Battle Blades Prime. As for the leader Bumblebee, i'm hoping for it being slightly mistransformed. To me, something just looks a little off about it.

Thank you so much Hasbro, so far all the DOTM toys have looked like total crap. I can save money and buy the figs I really want. Bumblebee looks like he overstuffed his shoulder pads and Optimus, what did you do to your chest? I applaud Hasbro for trying to make Voyager Prime different from the last mold but at least make it better please.

I'm disgusted. The first movie brought me back. I got many of those toys and loved them. The second movie blew me away. Buster Prime is like a cherished possession to me. Strictly hands off for everyone. But this new round, I have not seen a single thing I'm willing to spend money on yet. This coming from someone that has 6!!! Optimi's (plural??) from the last movie, three of which are of the fantastic leader mold and one of which was the new BB Optimus.

This Prime has fake wheels on his legs for christ sake. And they didn't even color them, they are grey plastic like the rest of the legs. Then he looks like his hood and cab roof are covered in diamond plate or something. And it looks awful. Surely those fuel tanks were put on steroids, because they've outgrown poor Prime. His chest is just a mess. It looks like one solid piece of... crap. Also, it's weird that his rear tires now become the tires around his ankles in bot mode. Previously it was always the front tires, wasn't it? So you could reasonably say this Prime is ass backwards from the start!

The only thing I can think of is that they created this monster with the idea of it being more simplistic and cheaper because he's rumored to have his trailer and they didn't want to retool the more complicated Battle Blades and raise the price to what they think the customer is unwilling to pay. Because this mold looks far less complicated to assemble.

Ok, I usually defend pretty much everything, but that prime is just plain bad, even his kibble isn´t accurate, 07 voyager Prime wasn´t exactly accurate, but it was a very good figure and it was released 4 years ago! :BANG_HEAD:

and about Bumblebee...he looks like Battle ops BB but without the "fixed" blaster arm, down-sized (and even then he´s EXTREMELY out of scale), and with a freaking huge lump of kibble meant to be a gun :BANG_HEAD:

seriously, WTF hasbro??? :BANG_HEAD:

Wow these are the worst looking figures I've seen in a very long time. Just stunningly bad.

by **OptiMagnus** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 7:30 pm

These all look so awesome! I'm buying them all!

Let's see how pissed off they'll all be at me.

Megs and Ironhide are both definitely buy on site for me.
Does anyone know if this is the same Optimus as the one with the trailer in the listing we got recently? Or will the trailer be Takara only?

by **Catalyst_Prime** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 7:36 pm

The bumblebee is okay is guess but it is un necessary. Optimus is just horendous it looks like an oversized fast action battler. although is has the mech tech weapon i still believe it is a replacment for the fab's because if it were an actual voyager prime that is a huge STEP DOWN from the HFTD prime so i'm hopeful this is not the real prime :BOOM:

by **MagnaBlade** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 7:39 pm

The tarp/cloak on Megatron is interesting. I'm not sure exactly what I think of it yet.

by **OptiMagnus** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 7:53 pm

I think Hasbro should redo the BB Prime mold with Takara's hooks. That mold is just too good not to get another version.

By the way guys, no one is forcing you to buy these toys. Chillax.

by **prowl123** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 8:24 pm

That may be the worst Optimus figure ever made. We knew he was gonna get a makeover, but this is just complete $#!^. The only good thing about him are the solar panels. I like those. :BOOM:

I am ashamed to say that I like that BB, but WHY THE #3!! IS HE A LEADER? :BANG_HEAD:

I hate these Mechtech things. They're so big and make the figure look like even bigger $#!^ than it already... wait a second. :-?

What if all of the Mechtech weapons combined in some way to form the Ark that we saw in the preview? Then, maybe this line wouldn't be as much of a prison riot. :lol:

That Megatron and that Ironhide are the only good figs that have come out of this line so far.

Hasbro has officially lost their mind. I should go tell them a thing or two...

well i'm sold. optimus looks ok....no matter what i think of them i'm gonna end up buying them. transformers are my plastic crack!! =P~

Only thing I can think of why Megs has the cloak is due to his face getting jacked up at the end of ROTF. (Maybe he didn't want any of Scalpels plastic surgery?) I'm hopeing the movie does it justice. But if he is the full tanker truck in the movie, I'd say he's a bit out of scale..... if the tanker truck is really Megs.

Prime, pass unless w/ trailer he looks ok.

DIE BEE DIE. wheres my giant can of bug spray

It's all good, we know we don't have to buy these. We're just venting on the boards because we know the powers that be are watching to see what our reactions are. We all just want to make darn good and certain that there is no misunderstanding as to how the majority of us feel about these.

And no, we aren't pissed about your first post. In fact, I'll even be a nice guy and hold the angry mob off for oh, let's say a good solid minute just to give you a head start.

Just messing with ya. If you like them, cool. You can have the one that I'll be passing up.

I was kind of joking buddy. I've been attacked and interrogated as to what was wrong with me a few times for saying positive things about rather unpopular figures. And I've got my BB Prime, and I'm getting the Takara version possibly, so I probably won't get that hunk of slag on May 16th (and watch me eat my words on May 16th :roll:

). I'm rather extremely disappointed with the new Optimus, so I hope we get more than just this one. He is Optimus prime, after all.

....not sure I like Megatron's cape. He looks like General Grievous.

by **Beericade** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 11:00 pm

I'm not digging the new line at all. Even the wife is a bit happy that I'll be saving some money this time around. Darn shame.

this toyline is looking pretty bad so far, i now see why hasbro changes the characters every year. Why dont they take a page from beast wars and keep the story going but give a reason as to why their forms change, it would be alot better than trying to take a character that never changes and try to make a toy thats different but the same as well. Wow i just confused myself with that sentence but im sure you get what i mean.

by **TheDownshift** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 12:11 am

Damn, first it was G2, then Beast Machines, then Energon, THEN the movie-verse, THEN PCC, and now this.

I think Hasbro might be the GREATEST trolls in the toy industry *applause*

But related to the topic, that Optimus is ugly as hell, Battle Blade Bee is the only one anyone needs, Hide's legs look anorexic, but nothing too bad, and I'm digging Meg's "Evil Bandito" look.

I...don't understand. Why is this Prime so vastly inferior to the last one? For this Mechtech feature? I just don't get it. Oh well, at least I don't have to spend my money on it.

Actually I could care less about the cannon arm.
I think it's perfectly fine when they don't have a cannon arm, however.
Megatruck is a bad idea.
It might work in the movie, but Why did they not go with a tank or space plane.
Planes, I can understand, I mean, it's a decepticon thing to be able to fly.
Tanks, I can understand, because they have a big cannon by nature.
But why a truck.
Megatron is not supposed to be a clone of optimus, like a twisted twin brother, He might have been an ally or co-leader once, but Megatron is supposed to be war like (not in the Freddy Krueger just became a truck driver sort of way), or atleast, look nothing like optimus.
The MegaTruck just looks like it came from madmax, but I see no practicallity in a giant Semi covered with a tarp.
"OH BUT HE HAS A CAPE"
Megatron doesn't need a cape, He isn't batman, and he isn't from assasins creed, Who needs a knife when you sometimes have a BFG.
transformers Cybertron megatron worked fine, if only because the race car mode was cool, and he was a triple changer, so the plane mode pretty much covered the decepticon angle.
RID Megatron was just weird, but he had plenty of different modes so it's not like it mattered, because it was an import, and the vehicle mode "could" maybe pass of as a tank, a wierd alien tank that could give a child nightmares, but a tank nonetheless.
That's just my opinion.
