LOL! Sometimes silluhettes are not the way to go, this looks awsome in full view.

Still not sold on it, however. Mainly because there's just too much coming out.

Looking a lot better than before, but at this point... for the price it's going for... I'll have to wait on reviews before I throw down that kind of cash.

Still, very very nice.

Agreed on this. Apparently Captured Prey is in talks to get these stateside, so we'll see what happens.

I would if I could get 12 of them and repaint them Animated style. Oh dear...

ok. yeah, that looks flippin' good. Still a bit pricey, but at least I can see where it went now.

Well this just went from "I can settle for the Year of the Snake repaint" to "Who really needs both kidneys?"

I'll get this one way or another, hope Captured Prey can secure a pre-order domestically.

After seeing this I think I'll pass up on the Energon repaint... no clue how I'll ever justify affording this though. It just doesn't have the playability of equally expensive items like Giant or the Stuntinots... especially since the alt-mode is boring as heck. If I owned it, it might get transformed once and that's that. He's massive and awesome and glowy though.

I want it... just not sure how bad yet.

I'm not interested in the WFC and FOC toy lines, but wouldn't mind getting this after a few reviews have come out. Not sure it is right for my Classics set and keep wondering if one with more of a Classics feel will be released later.

Maybe these guys will do a remold in the near future?

Still too rich for my blood. Going with YOTS.

Goddammit!!! That actually looks pretty good. It's possible it still looks like crap from directly head on, but it's not too bad at all. I'd like the claw and blaster hands to be a little smaller. They look a little over the top as they are. Not a fan of the alt mode unless they've got some better pictures to fool me with. It's a stupid expensive first outing, but I have to admit I'm very tempted.

Looks pretty amazing. The price is the only thing keeping me away at the moment.

How about some reviews of a finished product? I'd rather someone else be a $300 guinea pig, and I hope some e-tailers would reconsider stocking the item after hearing positive things about it.

My good sir, I do believe you have me confused with someone much more rational than myself.

I think you already know the answer to that.

Hmm, if that claw is any indication of size he might be too big for my collection as I originally feared. I need something that'll make for an epic battle pose near Giant, not something that looks like it could bully Giant for his school milk money.

Yep, this guy's definitely not Classics scale. He's WfC scale, which means he's supposed to tower over the WfC/FoC toys, which he clearly will. I'm still tempted to get him, but I'll have to wait and see how it goes. I had him preordered on BBTS until they pulled the plug. If I can scrounge up the funds, I'll get him at one of the other etailers possibly. I hope these guys do a Trypticon too. That would be epic.

Hmm, a Trypticon... Now that is something I would have an easier time investing in at this size (or more by a small margin). Or any of the city-formers for that matter.

Just remember that WFC Trypticon turns into a space cannon. His alt mode isn't visually much more appealing than Omega's.

Yep, too true. I'm a fan of both their alt modes myself, but that's probably just because I've played the games and I enjoyed them, so I actually prefer that they be game-accurate. I'm not looking for this (or any other 3rd party or Hasbro WfC/FoC figure) to fit into my Classics/Neo-G1 etc. collection. I've got an entire shelf devoted to the toys from the games, and that's where this guy (and Trypticon if they make one, please please please :PRAY:
