This is the first figure that we've seen that I think looks halfway decent. It has great proportions, distinguishable features, and a really nice alt. mode. It is exciting to anticipate all of the mods and re-paints that are sure to come of this mold...it doesn't look like a Mc Donalds toy, or just a collection of hyper detailed limbs squished together to make a fictional vehicle or w/e (Jeeze...can't you tell??? It's a satellite!). Very few Bayformers from the last movie made it into my display...I think Blackout, Barricade, and Nightwatch Prime are the only 3 that I find in any way pleasing to the eye...the rest ended up as re-paints and fodder for extra ball joints and hinges. Especially Voyager Megatron...I mean, that has got to be the most useless Transformer EVER...can't mod it into anything recognizable, no useful parts for kitbashing...I put mine back into the box and tossed it into a closet...Couldn't even give that sucker away.
Let's hope this is the start of a trend towards halfway decent looking robots.
