He kind of reminds me of Cybertron Crumplezone...
And I loved that figure (well the Dark version) so I'll be getting me one of these.

Red sure is not his colour.

Not one of my favorites of the animated bots,
but I'll still get him.

It's funny to me that it seems that people don't get that this design is imitating the build of other cartoon characters like Looney Toons Foghorn Leghorn, or even more like the bulldog from Tom and Jerry.
This guy isn't suppose to look trim and sleek...
(I wonder if his name was influenced by this????)

Not my fave, but still pretty fresh.

I love all these toys from the new cartoon. They've pulled something off that they've never been able to do before, make the toys look exactly the same in both modes as they do in the cartoon. The aesthetic is unique, that's for sure, but I like it. They're moving it down from having too much detail in them for the designers to accurately portray in the toys, and giving them something good to work with.

But, these are toys, made for children, of characters in a cartoon, made for children. And as such, I will not be buying them, but will give them a thumbs up.

I don't like him, but a lot of the other ones look really cool. Like Optimus Prime, Starscream Blitzwing, Megatron, and Blackarachnia. She's definitely on my must-have list.

I think I will get the ones from this line that I especially like - I won't be a completist. I'm looking forward to seeing if the Voyager classes are worth the money.

He looks like Ironhide and Rhinox tried to do the fusion technique from DBZ and failed...horribly.

Normally I'd be all over it like I was for movie test shots, but $120 for an unpainted not-that-popular character is wayyyy over the top. $40 shipping is even more ridiculous. I could have gotten a Leader Brawl test shot for much less than that.

Whoa. Hasbro really did a number on this figure, but I'll get him anyways... but I won't like him as much as other figures in the TF: Animated line.

Nope wont be getting. Thing looks stupid. Horrid piece of crap. Just means more money to be saved.

he is supposed to be some sort of futuristic army transport vehicle so looking at from that standpoint he looks allright.

Bulkhead needs to call Jenny Craig FAST! How can he even walk with them stubby little legs? Grimlock could run circles around in his his slow T-Rex mode. :grin:

I've seen enough iterations of TF toylines come and go to know more thank half of you WILL buy this figure despite your protests this far in advance. You will also love him. You will also never acknowledge that you blasted this figure based on one crappy photogragh That shows nothing of its details or articulation. Hell, we've all done it at some point. I'm coming out of the gate saying I WILL buy him and will most likely love him. I have faith.

it looks like a big red kidney bean

Well from what I saw at ComicCon it looks slightly miss transformed. I’m getting this figure. People who says this looks childish and flames on another of the figure then this figure is right for you because your acting childish as well of deciding how good the figure is before it is gotten and played with. Next to tformers this place has the most negative comment i have ever seen. This is a 100% Buy for me

by **Docpoppe** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 3:15 pm

Looks pretty cool. My kids will definitely like it as well

by **Dispensor** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 11:01 pm

This is a really good looking figure --- and it's actual paint scheme looks so much cooler. If the wrecking ball things are on bendable wire, then it will be even better.

Yuck.

Definetly a year for me to spend filling in collection holes.

But I'll get Prime and Megs. They look pretty decent.

You can bookmark this post and quote me on it a year from now. I think he's ugly in both bot and alt mode. There are a few of the animated toys that I like and this definately isn't one of them. I'd say my dislike meter reads just a shade under hate at the moment.
