Wouldn't call this much of a reveal since it was seen in that Argos calendar last month...

Looking good, just wish they'd stick to one shade of purple and add some silver on the hands and thighs, but whatevs.

I don't buy this image for a second. How could that possibly transform into a car?
I see the trunk and the spoiler on the back, and the legs clearly become the hood, but there's no midsection..

I'll reserve judgment on this one, at least until real pics are available. This one smells fishy to me. #-o

If you look closely at the back of the calves, you can see the top of the car and windshield...

This is the only "RID" thats better then First Edition.

When I saw earlier pics of this figure I thought it transformed into the plane vehicon, but now the wheels are clearly visible. It looks a lot better than the FE one for sure.

Whats great is that it looks like the front wheels aren't wierdly centered like the FE version is in alt mode.

For what it's worth, I really don't like light piping. It's a neat enough gimmick, but my own humble opinion is that paint looks better than a bifurcated head who's backside is a separate color made of clear plastic.

A final thought; if Hasbro really loved us, they'd start putting SMD LED's inside Transformer heads.

Looks like the only RID figure worth buying...now when will I actually see the PRIME lineup in my area?!?!?!

Hey, what do you know? Something actually IMPROVED from first edition! Well, done, HasTak! :APPLAUSE:

by **crazyjeffy** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 1:16 am

I'm curious as to what the car mode will look like, because if the FE version did something amazing it was the way the car looked.

I shall buy many of these!

Transformers needs more armybuilders.

What would be REALLY cool is if these has the same/similar robot modes, but different alt modes.
