Part of me wants to jump the gun (in both directions), but I will restrain myself here. I will be patient, and wait until we receive a great many more pictures, detailing exactly what we're getting here, before making a final decision on how I feel about the design and whatnot.
I might be less impressed than I hope, or I might be pleasantly surprised and shocked. I must be patient and wait for the final product to be shown before I go and waste precious energy, whining on a messageboard. (Sad but true, for all of us. lol)
In fact, I will refrain from commenting at the present time, other than to say "Wow, I never expected that prototype to be Optimus." and it's true.
But, this does bring up one point I'd like to make...
I realize that pictures can easily fool the best of us, but to me, that screams "Deluxe Class!" and you know what? I'd be FINE with that. If we had Legends Class giving us gems like Bumblebee, etc (Legends Brawn was a really nice figure, honestly.), while some of the smaller grunts could fill up the Scout Class, while Megatron, Optimus, and other big bruisers could take the Deluxe Class size. Voyager or Leader (If they decide to use Leader outside of Bayverse) would be suitable for the larger robots (seen in the trailer).
Plus, it would bring costs down, as well. Mom, Dad, and your fellow collectors only having one or two big robots to buy, while the rest are all under the most affordable price points? Yeah, I think we'd all buy into that.
Don't get me wrong, I loves me some Voyager and Leader Class goodness, but if it's not part of the line from the getgo, we won't miss it anyway, plus it'll save us some dough.
Hasbro should take note from Bandai on this one...downsize, just make it worth it, and put some real work into it. (Unlike Bandai who downsizes, but didn't put a great deal of effort into the final product.)

s250 is our informer.. it's not worth $250.
Heh. That depends on the buyer, and you'd be surprised.
