I hate those drone heads.

I hate drone TFs.

They have a chance to create some cool "supporting" movie characters, but no, they cheap out and give them all the same head and make the just mindless minions.

I have to believe this is a mix of bad posing and mistransformation in the legs. His penis for lack of a better word seems to fold up to make a decent waist. and his entire lower half looks like it should slide upwards and lock in. Then of course his arms are in the most blatant "I want a hug" pose. To be honest I think he might look cool if posed and transformed right. Look at Bonecrusher. Everyone bitched about him until I put up a picture of him posed well so his head wasn't standing up on a pin.

How are these images any clearer than what we had last week?

wait there's drone abutobots and decepticons? thats THE dumbest thing I have heard yet...

Anyone noticed how any of the jet forms of the movie toys are really bad? They all have things hanging on them that are very unjetlike.

Oddly enough, the Shockwave/Whirl style head does not bother me, nor really does the lack of hands (b/c the flame effect is really good enough to make up for it).

The reason I don't want it is b/c his proportions are all wonky. Especially the lower body.

If you're right then he may yet join my short list of movie figures that I'll grab.

Drone Autobots?
Only drons I know of are this one and Swindle, and I asumed that Swindle is a Con too.

This does look VERY SWTF...

Mutant Megatron... Starscream the Ape... Trashcan Scorponok... and now we have a Johnny Bravo Dreadwing. Man, I tell you, if this one certainly doesn't make me laugh, I don't know what will. Ha.

autobot drone was just an assumption....but if you are going to make drones for one side why not both? (I can think of plenty of reason why not, but maybe others can't). Anyways I am getting OT.

I have not seen one bayformer toy that actually looked like a jet when transformed. This one, like bayscream toy doesn't look like good as a robot, and doesn't look like a jet when transformed.

I hope you're right. I actually like the design, and wouldn't mind picking this guy up (or 2, or 3) to stand in the decep airforce back row. But only if that's a 'mistransformation' and not "I'm really happy to be a decepticon".
