But many Primes/ Convoys don't have the truck windows as his chest. Alternity and Alternators/Binaltech for starters. Yet you can still see the alt mode within the robot mode. Same for Armada Prime.
Battle Convoy, The G2 'hero' Prime (best way to describe him, dunno if it's accurate) and Fire Convoy have chests that look like windows, but they're not 'cheats' like say, FE Prime. It's just to give it that Prime look, which I personally don't feel is needed. If it's not there in the transformation then no truck window chest.
I'm not crying over the lack of truck windows specifically...just why can't we see certain parts of the alt mode? Is that such a crime to want? Sorry if it is. I think from those full body early renders he maybe has wheels near his feet? But It's just...look I know what I mean. Sorry if it's not coming across...I thought my above comment about 'Bee was enough to explain what I meant about how this Prime looks to me but I obviously didn't do a very good job.
Sorry folks.

Stop apologising, you really don't owe anyone one.
To add to what hinomars19 just said, anyone who takes my example of chest windows that far is completely missing the point (reasons are irrelevant). It was an example of a robot body that has visible alt mode parts. Lets make this extremely simple. If you take a look at the bot in any pose and from any direction, and you cannot see a wing, or a wheel, or treads, or some animal legs, or a tank barrel, or SOMETHING that lets you know its more than just a robot, then it fails to look like a Transformer. Now, there might be exceptions like Alpha Trion, but we only saw him first in G1 (to my knowledge) and he never transformed. When we all know about a character thats being featured, and we see barely any of the things that suggest that alt mode, it can't help but feel like a huge step back.
BTW, yea, since when is prowls door kibble "kibble"? Kibble has always been this negative term about excessive anything in either form that detracts from that form, and generally applied to toys, since that "kibble" detracted from show accuracy. Prowl's door wings aren't kibble anymore than Predakings wings, or Tarantulas's insect leg guns.

For what it's worth we have seen this Prime design in full. All we are seeing here is the final polished render (and yes, Sabrblade, I know animation, so please no know-it-all comments about final renders and whatever else you feel I need to know. Your above comments do nothing but belittle the breadth of knowledge you have for this franchise in an attempt to yet again be on top of any hint of a debate) I sincerely doubt his final movie model has grown a wealth of truck parts from the waist down, therefore mindvipes opinion is valid and I happen to agree with him. If reading my comments honestly makes you believe I hate on these movies, I fear for your ability to read, much less process information.
But whatever, feel free to post whatever makes you the hardest.
I felt like discussing something I actually enjoy. My apologies. I'll be sure not to make the same mistake again.

In my personal opinion, I like the design. I liked the old one better, but I still like this on as well. So please by all means, post your opinion. It just seems a bit harsh calling other people out for no reason.

And, come on, the Pacific Rim robot designs were a lot more simplistic than this.

'Outrages' happen when civil rights are trampled on, blatant and horrible acts of racism are dicovered and so on. Moments when the public as a whole are wrongfully being dimished in their quality of life. None of these apply to movies. You mean 'nerdrage'.
