Cool looking (for a bayformer) but it doesn't transform... pass.

I'm sure the final piece is going to be beautiful... but pricy. I'd rather have Buster Prime occupying the corner of my desk-and I will.

Sideshow making TFs=pure win. The thing is going to be so detailed and articulated itll probably be the best non-transforming TF figure ever. Expensive as hell but worth it. Want to see more.

A small warining on the coupon. I got there $50 dollar coupon from the IronMan BestBuy Edtion and it was only good on select INSTOCK items. After having many dealings with SS im sure this coupon is the same.

actually as it is a maquette, it will only be like a statue, and Not poseable at all..

however if Sideshow gets the rights to do a fully articulated action figure of just the robot mode of prime, then I'd definitely buy that.. but as it stands, this thing is just a glorified statue..

Trust me, what SW2 is thinking is way better than any Robot Replica. Sideshow are known for crazy detail in both their action figures and maquettes. Ask a Joe fan, they'll tell you the same.
