Not diggin' it if I'm honest. If it was for the wing design on his chest then I wouldn't know who it was.

Looks like every other design with clown feet.

Might look better in color.

I love the alt mode. We really do need more multi-axled TFs like that. There just aren't enough and you can do so much with that much vehicle to make very beefy bot modes.

I like it. Incorporates the best elements of TC, his mysterious commander Hyperdrive, and War Within Op, with just a dash of Crosshairs.

Yep! That nails it perfectly.

This is awesome..truly awesome. I'd take a single Voyager or Leader class toy based off of this one design over absolutely EVERYTHING that has been done for TF:Prime or will be done for the BH series. Just this one concept/preliminary design shows more inspiration, more attention to detail than everything Hasbro has come up with so far with the exception of a few of the Generations/WFC designs and that's only because Milne and co. are responsible for some of those as well. This one design, should it ever see life as a toy, would far and away kick ass over every AoE toy that's due to hit the shelves next year, no doubt about it.
His art and designs are half the reason I've been enjoying the IDW books so much.
Way to go Alex! Once again, great design job! :APPLAUSE:
