Do you get off hating on Bayformers or what? Because like clockwork, for every featured articles, you MUST let the world know that you hate bayformers. The movieverse is now 12 years old and it's NOT over. About time you get over it.

I'm wondering if he is going to have waist problems and breakage there... Too soon still?

I think if you dig through either the NYCC or the Wonder(winter?)Fest coverage... one of those had shots of his back... if I recall correctly it was pretty clean, with the rear end/spoiler back there, which was an aspect we never saw much. I don't remember seeing any "hood backpack" which was traditionally the issue.

There is no back kibble, although the tail lights on his back may be faux parts. Otherwise, it's a very clean back, like with MPM-3 Bee.

IIRC, TFWIKI says that he locks at the waist, so there may be a locking mechanism that prevents easy separation. As for breakage, it's probably too soon, but I wouldn't expect any, considering the quality of the past 2 car Baybots

Aww man. I was making a joke about Megatron ripping him in half. Haha oh well. Maybe next time my joke will be better!

Not quite: MP takes robot mode scale, but HA took vehicle mode scale (I believe it's roughly 1:24 like the Alternators and Binaltech) and the two haven't always aligned exactly. HA's main selling point was interaction with included human figurines (Hence the name), so accuracy was compromised for the sake of the gimmick, as cool as it is. Also, HA began when MP was still in its infancy somewhat, between MP-8 Grimlock and MP-9 Rodimus Convoy, long before new-mold Movie MP was even thought of.

Dunno if this is news or not, but YouTube reviewer Optibotimus reviews the new MPM-8 Movie Megatron. Here's a link:

Uh? Why? The guy don't want extra views?

They could have trimmed down Human Alluance Jazz and called it a day. I half expected it tbh. He was definitely the least encumbered by human gimmicks

They basically did that with Movie the Best Soundwave, it's just the HA figure with all the human interaction parts removed. It looks pretty good next to MPM-3, too, thanks to the movie accurate deco.
