*Holds up a military-grade Flame Shield*
Well, I think he's a great fig, and I like how such a boxy, compact, slow vehicle designed for creating buildings turns into a thin-bodied, lithe and fast destroyer. I have him as my first '09 movie figure just before getting Voyager Megatron and Starscream (awesome toys too, latter's really an improvement over his predecessor) and he doesn't disappoint, especially once I found how to stand him up in various ways (having one wheel for a foot's probably the biggest gripe about him from the fandom if I may say so myself).

I was hoping that this guy was capable of the sort of motorcycle-mode you see him in a few shots in the trailer, but no pics like that were shown. Does the mold not "support" that look?
It does, You can bend his wheels backwards and forwards and rotate his head upwards to simulate the motorcycle-mode, though the head might be abit obstructed by the front wheel. His large wheels roll as well, albeit on a wobbly ratchet joint. Not a bad figure at all, no siree.

I must admitt it could have been finished better, I'm not blind, or, even better, it could have been given the leader class treatmente, but I like it after all. It just leaves the same unfinished taste that had blackout and bonecrusher from the 1st movie - the latter are also my favourite from their line. I hope justice will be done to these 3 models; meanwhile I cherish the original design that makes it a pretty impressive character when in the right size (see trailer). I like it so much that I'd rather skip the preview figures (they've yet to come out here in Italy) and jump forward to this one!
True, he's not exactly in-scale given his massive size in the trailer but he can still be a fun figure - I find his Mech-alive Gimmick more noticeable (and hence more interesting) than Starscream's - just be careful of his brown handrails - made of rigid plastic, a small bend can cause the things to get stress-marks.
