I know that these are directed for younger fans, but I just cannot get over how weird they look to me. Prime looks OK, Heatwave's a meh, but Bumblebee looks like a midgit in an Animated Bumblebee costume. /:)

at last, an optimus WITHOUT a mock grill! :D Though it appears optimus and heatwave transform exactly the same way.....
WHO CARES?
It may be embarassing, being an adult and all, but I will buy these when they hit shelves! :KREMZEEK:

He does look a little bit like Rodimus, but I'm not so sure.

Eh why not. After all, Rodimus could have been a fire truck at one time:

Neat! I'll be grabbing Optimus for sure!

Awww man. You had to throw that awesome Powermaster Rodimus photo in there. That would have been a freakin' sweet brick.

Hmm neat little figures. I might consider buying this for my lil cousins who likes to play rough with toys :D.

Optimus looks really nice :D. Heck I think he looks better than RTS Legends Optimus xP.

Bumblebee...Fat.All I can seem to think when I see him is the word "Fat" or something similar like "chubby","pudgy","midget" or "blob"...Nuff' said.

Heatwave...I hate the huge fists and I dislike his head >.>...

So after thinking I'm going to get to skip DOTM Optimus entirely, thus not adding to an already unwieldy OP collection, I now have Kre-O, Rescue Bots, :Prime (that's the shorthand I'm using for the Hub's series) and an entirely new Masterpiece?

1 step ahead, 5 steps back!

This is totally random, but can one of you guys please clear this up for me?
Recently, I aquired a robot.
It's no transformer.
It looks very gorilla like, has claws for hands, tank treads on the back of his feet, a visor that covers his face, a torso that pops up to reveal twin cannons, rotating shoulder mounted machine guns, a flip out missile launcher on one inner shoulder, a flip out rocket pod on the other, he's a combination of light and dark blue, has an opening cockpit on his head, and has a number written on his chest in yellow, can't remember what. he's very round and kinda has a whatever year in 2000 go bot feel to him, even though he's not a transformer. anyone recognize the description? if so, please let me know! It's been killing me, and I didnt wanna ask. I figured sabrblade or someone would know. it says TAKARA on it. thats all.

No, that's transmetal optimus primal.
the bot I got has a cockpit and is a total mech suit. it looks kinda like the girl in the mech suit from megaman. but it's not her bot or anything megaman at all.
He's just a round grunty mech suit.

I actually.. like that Optimus Prime.

I'm prolly gonna have to pick him up even though I generally stay away from the kiddie-transformer toys.
