Oh boy, all these people raging about a toy engineered for children.

Don't like it? Shut up and go buy a Masterpiece instead.

Now that I think of it, I might buy two of these guys. One so that I can have a green star saber, and another I'll paint blue with a sharpie and put with PRiD Optimus FE Optimus my other Optimus.

Don't like the raging? Shut up and go away

Seriously though, I've never been a fan of this variety of Fisher Price/Playskool aesthetic, but he's growing on me. I still don't plan on picking him up unless OP appears this way in the Beast Hunters show, but who knows? I might need to cave for that sword.

Ok, I have to admit that I am kind of digging this.. I can see where some will gripe but when it boils down to it, the thing is a kids toy.. I'll nab one when I find one..

Crap like this makes me wonder if Peaugh has... inside sources...

The amount of rage about something as small as the color of windows is funny to me. Chill out peoples, it's nothing a blue Sharpie can't fix.

We're missing something important here though. It's a solid and beefy mold without an overly ridiculous and impractical weapon gimmick!

But we already knew they were dropping the Powerizer gimmick.

I'm liking this more and more, but I wish the wings were detachable. Not a fan of the head, either. I'm actually thinking of modding him a little. Panel up the windscreens for a more FOC-ish look, and replacing the head with one from, say, and MG Gundam Exia kit if possible.

I really wish people would stop using the 'it's a child's toy' excuse. Plenty of TF figs over the years have been simple and child friendly and they are not this poor excuse for a design.

And stop childishly pointing the finger at MP collectors as well. Sure, I have some MPs, why the hell shouldn't I? But in the last 2 months I've bought Prid Arcee, Knockout, and Rumble, and plan on getting Voyager Bulkhead and they are all nice looking, cleverly engineered figures that sit comfortably waiting for kids to play with. I love the lot of them (Let down a bit by plastic quality, but that's a different issue and just a sign of the times)A good chunk of the Unicron trilogy are fantastic toys, still some of my favourites, and maybe I'm being to Gee wunner or 'adult collector' with this one-but Battle Convoy (laser OP)? What, it doesn't get any simpler and child's toy than that without being a G1 brick or a Go-Bot, and there is nothing wrong with him, again a fave of mine, So please try and be objective to an opinion that is against this ONE figure.

I don't like this thing. neither do some others, I've given it a go with looking at the reviews, but it isn't happening-it looks ridiculous for so many reasons and whether the rest of you like it or not it's a concern for us that our hobby may be turning sour if this becomes the acceptable standard. And don't jump on me for sounding childish as an adult collector of toys- because unless the rest of you are between the ages of 5-10, we're in the same boat just by being here and discussing a toy we just saw on Youtube.

Hah, I love the alt mode. I love how it's something of a nod to animated Optimus. I love that it's a simple big weapon. Not a fan of the simplistic transformation (or the big backpack), but like how sturdy he looks, too. This is the first Beast Hunters figure I like.
