Going to intresting to see how the animated series turns out. Like plane mode not sure about robot mode.

by **Ramtough** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 2:54 pm

It actually looks pretty cool! I'm excited about this figure.

Plane mode looks pretty good, robot mode not so much. It kind of reminds me a little of Armada Starscream.

I know right? On what legal basis does he have against linking from one forum to another forum? we're not stealing pics and all links are credited to that website and author... nobody's stealing anything, and all credit is given where it's due...

Yeah, looks like Megatroptimus is taking another one of his trademark temper tantrums.

Remove the photos? On what legal grounds?

There is no basis for legal action. I was quite amused by that myself.

Starscream certainly does look like Thundercracker however. It's all a bit odd.

Ah well, give me a black version with purple trim and no lipstick, and I will be happy.

i'm pretty excited from these pics. they paint might not be final but still not bad. his hands look awesome. not some random claw. the fingers look posable. yay!

Very nice, but I'm still undecided on the head sculpt.

by **DorkimusPrime** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:12 pm

dude, that alt mode is pretty ace.

by **mineralblue** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:13 pm

If he really only wanted cybertron members to see the thread, maybe he should learn how to use bulletin board software and close his forums only to registered members...

(rolls eyes)

Canadians... eh.

lol @ big yella message. hahahaahh..

Thanks to Hasbro for making the first animated figures since BW/G1 that I will actually buy, instead of skipping over rid/cybertron/armada/whatever.

woohoo!!!! excited.

So they post stuff on the internet but don't want people from other sites looking at it. How rediculous.

They have no legal protection. Like they would spend money to try to take legal action anyway. Sounds like a temper tantrum with some empty threats mixed in.

I say leave the links up and front paged.

by **Bugbite** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:16 pm

I gonna sound like I just started collecting yesterday, but because I can't read....

When is the Animated line scheduled to come out? :lol:

I'd have to say that so far, I'm with you on this one.

Classics will satisfy me just fine.

But jeez, what's the deal with that anyway? Weird guy, seemed alright on A3U.

by **ElSnarfo** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:26 pm

really digging the 'bot mode.. he'll do fine with a headswap

News Credits: 2 · by **Tekka** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:27 pm

Looking at it closer, he does seem good to pose. Honestly he doesn't look all that bad despite the cartoony head design. I'd give this mold a thumbs up. ;)^

I don't get why the wings point the wrong way when in plane mode. Overall it looks ok - but I don't think I'll be getting it in a mad rush when it's released.
