Alt mode is nice ... but ... robot mode is a bit ... odd.

Kinda looks like an upscaled Cyberverse toy. Never seen that before. Nope. :HEADHURTS:

Fake chest and gargantuan amounts of truck just hanging off the back. Awful.

The actual robot design seems kinda interesting, though, from what I can tell. Kinda like a knight.

I think a Cyberverse would've incorporated the truck kibble better, actually.

Nice, but I kind of wish it was the CGI model

And for a few minutes I was worried I might like it. I'm glad I don't. This movie line will once again allow me to save my money.

I know why they did it like this; to make it simpler for children to play with. But the whole thing seems off.

Does his shield/key thing have the blade of Voltron's blazing sword in between the yellow halves?

Regardless, the Bayniverse crushed my completism long, loooong ago. I assumed I'd be buying little beyond the Dinobots anyway.

Look how skinny his arms are! I swear this is C3PO dressing up for Botcon!

At first I thought it was cool, but the more I look at him all I see is all the panels hanging off him. Defo getting lazy up in Pawtucket.

Optimus Prime figures don't usually have that much kibble on them. At least not like that. It almost appears as if he has a cape in this movie. The robot and vehicle modes look nice. Hearing that he looks smaller bothers me. Definitely waiting for a more screen accurate paint job this time. It is nice to finally see Prime's new robot mode though.

The robot mode actually resembles PRID Ultra Magnus.

Since this is Hasbro, it could be mistransformed.

I must say, I'm impressed. I like it.

Also, nobody seems to have mentioned on big detail. CHROME IS BACK!

Chromey.

B'aww, that reminded me of the current IDW universe.

Anyway, back on topic: Nice truck mode, if they keep the chrome. Bot mode is a meh and a pass, but at least it's better than Ultimate OP.

Hmmm... it looks like they are very much funneling design cues from TF: Prime back into the movie figures. Neat-o!

The kibble is somewhat depressing. However, I'm still eager to get more pics of this guy, and I'm curious to see if that nice chrome carries over to the final product.

If they(as in Hasbro)think that I would shell out $40+ for this,then they're high!!!!

It doesn't even look passable enough to be deluxe class. This line and film shall be an easy skip for me.

Looks like an Alpha Trion body with a Prime head. Dunk him in purple dye and make a 3rd party AT head and we might have something worth buying...

Agreed!

While I'm not terribly impressed with the excessive amount of kibble hanging off the back, nor the fake chest, the robot mode is fairly cool, and I do like all the chromed plastic. The truck mode looks sweet, and a lot less blingtastic than the photos we've seen of it so far. Thank Primus they toned down the size of the exhaust pipes....they were starting to remind me of organ pipes in a church.

Overall, I like the design. The massive amounts of chrome is also welcomed.
