Not bad, still it has the same perhaps less detail than the leader class figure. I thought that unleashed were highly detailed statues...

Nah, i'll pass. I can probably get that same pose with Leader Class Prime and as a bonus leader class prime, can transform. Woh!

Worse.
More non-transforming junk.

Think of them as statues, unless you don't like the idea of statues either.
I don't mind the idea of affordable Transformers statues, but I wish they'd thought to do Unleashed figures of some G1 characters too, preferably designed by Don Figueroa. Maybe after the movie merchandising blitz is over.

Do statues transform?
No. They don't. They go into the non-transforming junk category as well.
It's just my personal philosophy. Transformers = things that transform. Sure the statues are nice to look at, but that's all you can do with them.

Looks like crap compared to the Bumblebee one. This reminds me more of a 3" version instead of the 10" version.

nice to look at but something I will pass on. By the way do they form a bigger diorama like the marvel and star wars ones do?

Not bad, I like the idea of having the truck mode on the back side.
However, still a pass for me.

Reminds me of the Naruto figure with the orange chakra going around him, but with Prime.

Ill pass on this, the modelling is fairly ordinary in robot mode, the flames look terrible, and the "rockface" looks like it was molded out of playdoh.

For what it is I think it looks great and a must have for me!
I don't care if its plastic, it still makes a nice statue and only a fraction of the cost of those Hard Hero, Palisades, etc. ones.

I've collected a lot of the Unleashed Star Wars "statues" so I'm excited about picking up Unleashed Transformers when they come out.

oh, this thing is awful...
Yeah, just what the noble, dignified Optimus Prime needs... more X-treme flames!!!1eleventy-one
and the truck on the reverse side, driving off a cliff with flames in the background and flames painted on the truck itself... I mean, come on, it's so over-the-top and ridiculous it's laughable.

I agree. They know the flames are already controversial and yet they add even more on this.
So cheesy.

Crap!! Crap!!! Crap!! Crap!!! its like some cheap ass thing you'd find in the streets of Korea for sale as an "official" Transformer type toy.. what a piece of wasted plasic.. and those god aweful flames!!! I mean he's crouching flamer - hidden truck Prime!!! if he had a slot in there to place money it would make a good kids bank, but not a high end plastic statue.. No Way!!!

That is kinda nice I guess.
But I don't do non-transforming transformers merchandise.

I always thought the SW Unleashed looked great. I never bought any because I wasn't that into SW anymore. Large, realistically detailed statues based on less detailed figures.
And then we get this...
I'm not one that believes that it needs to transform to be a transformer, transformers are a race not a gimmick. I also could care less about the design they chose to use, there was a new Prime design in every series ever made, so why care?
But when you put out an "Unleashed" figure that has less detail and action then the DELUXE Prime?
"SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW!"
Meh... I really don't care for these either, or those damn Nike's...

And I hoped we get a movie hig acurat figure with lots of detail, even if wuolden't transform but that isn't detailed inuf for me.
