One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!

The concept art makes the shoulder panels much larger than would be possible from the movie CG and that would have meant them being even bigger in bot mode. What they did was try to find the sweet spot in between and I think they did a good job working it out. Only alternative would have been to use fake parts.

Well then I would have preferred they just make them smaller then and more like the 3D model. At least then 1 of the two modes would look really good.

It's pretty standard fare that the CGI model cannot perfectly match the toy. Especially with the live action movie lines.
Best example is in AoE where the filmmakers didn't even bother to figure out how the hell can this:
transform into this:
I almost raged when I saw this crap on the silver screen way back then:
Unique Toys did what the initial designers couldn't. Making AoE Galvatron properly transform.
Seriously.
Granted, it's MP sized and is nearly 300$ but still, a 3P company figured it out:
Now the real question is. Will Hasbro / Takara figure out the transformation as a voyager with the budget that go with it without a "folding table" as a backpack like the original? We know it's in the work and is relatively soon to be revealed. Will they succeed?

I feel the opposite, I think the face looks way better now that we're seeing it close up. I love all the details and the way the eyes look, she looks less like a marionette now.

But this is at Target.
