And no, you don't have to be registered to see the clip.

Ten minutes or so (I got bored out of my skull...some of it is absolutely boring as sin. It needs an infusion of "Wow, that's interesting" STAT!) but it does show the transformation, which is more intricate than I had imagined. I'm impressed. Not enough to buy him, but impressed.

For a toy that is not even released yet he was pretty rough with the little guy. The video definatly could have used a little more zazz though.

I did like however when he was putting the "axe 3 mode" together wrong :lol:

I noticed that a lot of fans are rough with their figures, and then when they break, they've got the nerve to say "Oh it's crap plastic! They don't make 'em like they used to!"

Or those that transform without instructions. *WHAP*

That's good news.

I can't wait to see 'em.

I haven't really thought about it much, but if I ever did buy any Animated figures, they'd be just the main Autobots (Voyager Prime though...) and Cybertron version Megatron. The rest are just a lose in the book, to me.

But I just...just can't get my wallet to open for this. I'd love to (because I want to support almost all things TransFormers) but I just can't get the gumption for these. =\

It sucks too.

That dude was suuuuper rough with the figure ouch.
But moving forward, the transformation was f'ing amazing.
I loved how the legs looked, I wasn't sure of how it worked originally, but now I see obviously.
And lastly...THE AXE...Oh my it was orgasmic.

I hate the guy that does these reviews. he's just so rough and plain. and he's talking about the colour scheme. I don't get it. Why? WE CAN SEE!!

Yeah. His transformation tactic was excessive. And it was bore-o-riffic.

But...at least he's trying, so I can't complain too much. (Though I probably will. lol)

at least we have a review of Prime.
i'd buy him if he didn't have that stupid face.

If you haven't noticed a lot of the modern instructions really don't help. I normally try to transform a new toy by myself, and if I get stuck somewhere I either. Look at the instructions to see IF it can help me, and if it is unreadable I try to find a review of it.

edit: and with the color thing.
I do find it a little boring when they talk about every little bit of color, but when they mention what the colors are and then comment on how they think the colors look is cool.

Persumably kids are going to be a lot rougher with these than some dude in his twenties. They oughta be able to take it.

Sure. However, it's expected to break with kids past a certain point. That's just the norm because kids are rough, but that doesn't excuse the dudes in their twenties.

They start having the mindset of "it oughta be able to take it...." and then it breaks because they just pushed it too far...they actually have the nerve to complain and say it's Hasbro's fault.

I still say the fans are the problem.

When is this series of toys coming out? He says June in the video. Is that right?

He is correct. They were originally slated for March, but postponed and the entire line was pushed back to June. Which pushed Classics/Universe 2.0 to the Fall. (We're speculating an August/September time frame.)
