Dinobot Swoop of Cybertron.ca has posted a review of the upcoming Wal-Mart exclusive "Allspark Power" Big Daddy figure from the Transformers Movie toyline.

Big Daddy is a repaint of Cybertron Downshift and an homage to the Generation 1 Micromaster Big Daddy

This guy is great! He’ll make a good classics Bigdaddy to go along with the rest of my not, but still classics collection.

[Lord T]

I love the mold but I can't stand the orangeness in the legs and the purple faceplate. I guess the character design just wouldn't suit me.

[Wheelimus Prime]

those flaps are esally noticable
i couldnt stop staring at them

[Megatron Wolf]

Why do I have the feeling that they were going to use him as a Decepticon then at the last minute made him an Autobot? I like the mold and the look so its a buy for me. And i need a few more Autobots. The movie line released way to many Decepticons at one time.

[Autobot032]

Wow that looks even worse in these pictures. I never saw the allure of Big Daddy, either.

[Randomflyingtransformer]

I'm not fond of the name, but I like the mold so I probably will buy it anyway. From the looks of it, the majority of my movie collection will be repaints. :<

[Skowl]

I love it! The choice of mold for the character is great, and I love those homages to obscure characters.

They even got his face purple like on the original Micromaster! Love it, A+!

[Solrac333]

The car mode looks great! It's the robot mode that doesn't look right. I just have to wait and see.

[Ultra Prime]

This guy is great! He’ll make a good classics Bigdaddy to go along with the rest of my not, but still classics collection.

I must agree with you Nekoman. I've been dying to add to my Classics Autobot ranks. I don't want to do that with just any homage so this beeing a very cool homage to an obscure character works very well for me too!

I second Skowl's sentiments!

[bran10]

Ehh, once again, it's a pass, not really feeling it.

[Blurrz]

Man, that thing is pretty sweet. A most have for me.

[NuclearConvoy]

Nice review and I want that toy!

[Sabrblade]

Why does his engine look so much like that of RiD Side Burn?

[i_amtrunks]

I may be tempted to purchase this guy if and when I see him, which makes him rare amongst all the movie repaints.

[No Death for Prowl]

I'm going to say this is a must for me, especially since I never was able to get a Downshift.

The bright orange might be a little goofy, but I really like the overall blend of the black, orange, and purple face plate. It has a futuristic nightmare-ish feel to it, as if this is the kind of character you only need to see once to never forget. I wasn't a big fan of Downshift's color scheme, so all the better since the figure seems pretty good overall.

[Air Commander Starscream]

As far as repaints go, they have done a really nice job on this figure. I Can't wait to be able to ass this guy to my collection, the homage is just straight on.

[dragons]

looks good dont like the orange or purple head looks alot like wheeljack good looking figure but im just interested in the main movie figures them selves

[Samsonator]

Y'know, Big Daddy was always one of my favourite micromasters, my whole reason for reading DW's Micromaster comics, and why I agreed once to play the role of "Big Daddy" in a local production of "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof". Couple that with the fact that I love the Cybertron Downshift mold, and you've got me wanting one of these REAL bad.

[Mandamus]

I love the alt mode paint scheme. Def picking this up when i see it.

[olokin]

I'm buying this. Even though I don't like the orange head, I like the idea of owning a TF named "Big Daddy." I like the mold too. A nice review.

[TFBuyer]

Just as in the first release as Downshift, the fact that Big Daddy is a muscle car makes this almost a no-brainer... Heck, I almost even bought another Downshift when I saw one this weekend two-packed with Cannonball!

[Craven Knight]

Awesome, I really want this guy for my classics shelf.

I hope BBTS will get some of these because Wal-mart doesn't ship internationally.

What's the release date of this wave?

[BOTS and CONS]

I'm gonna get this Autobot! He kicks Decepti-ass hehe!

I love the old-school muscle car mode.. some Autobots can be soooo MEAN!

[woosh]

(looks at the colours) EWWWWW!
i'd better save some money for downshift.
