Not bad. I assume they will color the squares. I also hope this may spawn other Tf chess sets. I would have a hard time passing this up unless it's ridiculously expensive.

It's strange to see that the board does not have light and dark spaces. Everything is the same tone.

How is this a Chesss set?? There are no pawns!

As previously stated, Bumblebee and Kickback are the pawns. Dumb, yes. Crap, I know.

Kickback? It should have been Rumble!

So who's the Queen? Magnus or Rodimus?

that isnt worth the price... i expected something bigger and made of something like pewter or perhaps glass

Exactly what I was thinking. This set looks like it is made of plastic. I wouldn't pay $250 for something that looks like a cheap childrens toy. An expensive high quality chess set should look like an expensive high quality chess set. Something you display proudly. I would hide this thing in shame.

Rumble? It should have been Reflector!

I bet we could keep this up.

Um, they are pewter. However, I do agree that it's way too expensive.

if they are Pewter they are using the HOC / SFC molds. There is no real original work here, no new sculpts. I've seen some beautiful chess sets and I always thought a tf one would have been wonderful. This is not a chess set I would take out to wow another chess player. I agree with koloth when he says:

This is not what I consider high quality. It is expensive though, but for what? As I have said, I am pretty certaan they are having a reuse of the HOC figures.

I probably won't be getting this unless I see changes, or maybe there'll be one I like somewhere else. Glad I did not preorder it myself..I thought about it.

I have seen wonderful sets for 200 canadian, detailed peices, amazing board...
