Nice pictures! thanks for posting. His Alt mode looks really small. Also does the paint on his face gets scratch easily when putting the gun on his face?

Nope. The paint on his face doesn't scratch easily. His robot mode does look very small compared to the rest.

Gotta say it, that looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Shame about him being rather small... Could I bother you to take a few size comparison pictures (with the Classics or FoC Seeker mold, if you have it handy)?

Can't wait, Deluxe cars are my weakness, must have them all.

Wish he wasn't so brown, though. It's like Hasbro gets that plastic for free.

Can always get the Takara Tomy one, I think it has a darker paint job compared with Hasbro. I don't have Classics or FoC Seeker mold for the size comparison pictures.

It doesn't necessarily have to be either of those, they're just the first things I saw and had at hand, lol.

This figure sux ass IMO and though I will get select few figures from this line this one could have been so much cooler had they scraped this head sculpt. Yeah I'm sure all the movie fans are just spewing at the movie accuracy but so what.

If they chose to use that awesome looking green mask head on "Flip and Change" and "One Step" Lockdown then WTF keep it the same. I feel what they should have done was make a multi-face gimmick like voyager Blitzwing or a flip down mask like movie BB.

I dunno all the answers, but what do know is this could have been better and I know what I like and this I don't like...way to go Hasbro! :APPLAUSE:

I'm surprised that Hasbro didn't have a Human Alliance line....... :-?

I think Hasbro is trying to avoid bloating out the line again with too many products at once, which may have been one of the problems the retail outlets had with the DOTM line a few years back. Although, I think Hasbro's going to have the same problem with the glut of "alternate" lines for AoE. The "Robots in Disguise" figures are not moving that I can see. Only the Generations movie stuff seems to sell steadily from what I can see at stores, and only then at the deluxe price point, primarily. Voyager stuff is harder to move through, and the leaders don't seem to sell much at all.
