where did you get those?! and how can we get our hands on some?

He doesn't have them. They were posted on a chinese board.

I like em.

Me too. It's certainly something different. I wonder if any of the other characters will get protoform versions?

I just don't like that the alt modes look so similar between the two. I'm REALLY hoping they don't make every character a protoform version that look near identical. Other than that, yea, they look great. Could use a little more paint, but the molds are pritty slick. Never had a protoform toy before.

WTF??????? they look like reject power ranger villains

No they don't. They look like transformers.

Umm.... then why does screamer's bio use the 'm'-word instead of saying he transformed? To the G1 fan in me, they're just not right.

Still, some nice design work. I had my doubts hasbro could make movie style designs that transformed. It'll be interesting to see the ones with Earth alt-modes.

The ?morphing? is referring to what the comics and cartoons have referred to as reformatting. If you remember, often times, when the characters take on a new vehicle mode for the first time, their robot mode appearance also changes. in the first two episodes of Armada for example, when Prime is first introduced, he looks more like his G1 incarnation?Windows for a chest, small "grill" for an abdomen, pipes on his shoulders, etc. Then, after he scans that passing semi, his entire appearance changes to reflect his new transformation.?the windows are gon, as are the pipes from his shoulders, and the ?grill? is huge and covers his entire upper torso from the waist up. It?s the same thing here.

It says he morphs into re-entry mode. Then after landing on earth he scans for a new alt-mode. Granted they're probably just using the word morph cause it sells better with their target demographic. I haven't really followed a transformers show since beast machines.
Also, that Prime chest looks really Armada (Or is it energon, the one where he's a firetruck) influenced for a movie that was supposed to be G1 inspired.

And is that giving away a fair chunk of the movie plot on those bios? Guess Bay isn't going to be too happy...

Sorry if I'm taking things a little OT.
