NICE FIND FENDER BENDER! So I guess you're gonna front page yourself?

Prowl looks like one of the pick ups for me, and bumblebee!

thanks for sharing!

i really don't like this packaging. looks too cheap and kiddy (i know, its a toy, but still) i wish they went with the more "high-tech" look of the movie packages. im also not feeling the "back to the future" logo. but the toy looks good!

probably a trademark or copyright symbol if you are talking about the small symbol on the lower right-hand side.

They should have a galvatron one

Not the best looking figure I've ever seen.
Looks very similar to ransack.
Also looks like scout size but package says deluxe, but maybe that's not accurate since this is a Production sample.

Movie Packaging looks way better

Though That is incredible
Why?
Because the figure has Very little vehicle kibble but still transforms inti a beleivable bike mode.

HAHA that's what I was thinking, what the hell is that thing? whats that thing on the top right?... did they ever say accesories would come with the figure? so like bumblebee would get a stop sign, and grimlock would get a palm tree for props.

Looks nice. I really REALLY don't want to buy this line though. I probably will

The packaging is nice. It represents what its supposed to, but I think it's not Transformery enough. It could be for any simple animated toy line. Reminds me of baseball for some reason.

because of how popular bumblebee is in the movie, I bet you the kids are gonna geet those flying off the shelves!! NOO there goes my transformer! :MAD:
