I was hoping for a more beast, raw, organic look.

Why would you hope for that? The Insecticons in Prime don't look like organic insects.

Quick answer: Because I wanted to.
More elaborate answer: I´m talking about this particular toy not being as organic as I would like it to be, not about the Prime Insecticons being the most organic robots ever. I think Hasbro can do a lot better, even for a Cyberverse toy. They don´t look terribly mechanic either in the show, they´re more like monsters or creatures, that´s the kind of toy I want. I guess I should also clarify that I had the BW Robot Modes in mind, not the beast modes.

By the way, thanks for sharing those images, they´re pretty cool.

I didn't say that, but what did you honestly expect? This is a Transformers: Prime toyline; they're made to look like the show. And, some of the paint aside, this is an accurate Insecticon. Making it any more "organic" would result in an inaccurate figure.




Also note that the figure is standing upward. The head is popped up (because there's a gap) and the pelvis is out. Lining up the legs with the pelvis and pushing the head down further gets the figure the show accurate hunch.

That's the kind of toy we've got.

Not monster looking enough for me. It´s like the skeleton from Scary Movie 2, it´s fine if it´s disturbing or gruesome for you, but I just want to kick it and laugh.

It was a rhetorical question.

Because Hasbro stood him up straight like a humanoid.

It doesn't have to be disturbing or gruesome. It's show accurate. I don't ask for anything more than show accuracy.

Good for you.

Maybe.

Great, but I do.

[PrymeStriker]

Great, but I do.

Maybe in another toyline. But this is Transformers Prime, not Beast Wars.

Moving on.

They definitely did a great job with him, I can't wait to see it in a proper pose.

Ha ha, don´t tell me you´re one of those guys who have to say the last word. That´s all right, you can have that luxury in the Internet.

Surprised the horn isn't a gun like on the show, but don't particularly care. Figure looks badass in both modes, and seems decently articulated, plus it's an Insecticon figure, which I was worried we wouldn't get. Will definitely buy it and any recolors that come out (I can't justify to myself buying multiples of the same toy, so I don't troop-build, but I count redecoes as new toys... well, new enough.)
