I think there are two automorph features. When you put his shoulders into place, it moves his arms and head into place. The gun that's on top of the vehicle mode moves the gun in the middle of his torso into place as well.

I guess automorph is the new gimik then. Well its still better than cyberkeys and minicons.

Sweeeeeeet

this guy looks super poseable, I have a feeling I'm gonna love the "non-movie" movie characters!

And typical, TFormers.com or TFW2005 doesn't post this as 'news' - they'll consider an unpainted prototype on eBay news but when Ryan posts an entire gallery of 1000 photos, it's not enough to warrant a front page mention.

yeah bb has see thoughish windows everybody. isn't that good news.

Very nice. Definately shelling out for him. The only question that comes to mind is why do those swords have such a jagged look to them?

BUMBLEBEE HAS TRANSPARENT WINDOWS. DOES ANYBODY CARE BECAUSE I REMEMBER MOST OF YOU DID.

A) The image is too small to tell if the windows are indeed translucent

B) If they are indeed translucent it could have just been photoshopped

C) The images on the packaging are not guaranteed accurate representations of the product (I believe the current disclaimer Hasbro uses is "product and colors may vary")

Wow. That is a very, very nice figure. Just like in Cybertron, it seems that the designers have gone the extra mile to make the non-show characters (this chap and the Real Gears) excellent figures in their own right to compensate for their lack of screentime. I've been impressed by all the movie-line figures so far seen (with the possible exception of Scorponok- what the hell were they thinking?) but this chap just looks like a step up *again*. Pretty chilling bio on the back, too.

Ryan- nice work on the photos. I especially like the ones where he's gorilla pressing Ratchet

did you look at the pics in large image form and if you did look again. it is 75% possible that it is true and the other pics we saw were prototypes and the painted one had less parts then the real one will have and it would be dumb of them to let the other figures have painted windows then the rest. just look and think positive

You're right, they do look see-through when enlarged. But you do realize they weren't actually photographed in front of that icon, don't you? They were placed there digitally and so if the background shows through the windows it's because the package designer made the windows transparent. 75% possible? You got this statistic where? All the painted test-shots and hardcopies we've seen have had the windows painted in metallic blue.

Also, see the cardback of protoform Starscream. The figure doesn't even have the same head mould as the one that was released.



The photos on the packaging don't mean squat.

This guy should ahve been named "Megatron"! Or maybe he's actually Megatron earth mode...renamed to keep the secret!

great work

Okey I see were you are geting. I compleatly agree. but the packaging pics of preview starscream aren't even real. it looks more like art then plastic. but test shots are usually prototypes. I got the 75% by guess. every figure depends on the look of it. wreckage looks the same prime lokks the ssme. iron hide has more paint aps to it but is still the same thing

gorgeous!

I was finally able to check the gallery out and I am really digging this figure.

the bio for this guy is a little too sinister for kids IMO

This figure is nice, I wouder why they didn't want this as Megatron? Fits more like a Megatron. As for Starscream, he's a hopeless crap in movie for me, so to each their own.

I think megatron looks fine as he is. megatron is to be the most evil robot of all time he he really fits the part. and the robots don't look like bugs.

starscream is good too.........

starscream is good too.........

starscream is good too.........

Thanks Chief, I appreciate you posting the instructions. I was hoping it would have pointed out his Automorph feature, but it's not the end of the world that it didn't include it. I'm sure kiddies would be more interested in the twin tin roof switch blades that things packin'

I agree that this would have been a better choice for Megatron.

Looks pretty good. Shame he won't be in the movie. Definetly looks good, I am just sorta thrown off by his "rack" but meh, the datsun bro's (prowl, bluestreak, smokescreen) had a "rack" too.

cydrohorn: LAME!!! (and it looks like Starscream.)

Dracori: Doth show that my brother and I fail to agree upon anything. Personally, I am not a large fan of Transformers. However, I must confess that this one is mildly cool, which is just about the best thing I can say about giant fighting robots.
