I've never been a fan of the movie line figures, but this looks like the worst of a bad bunch. Does this apeal to ANYONE? People have argued that, as aliens, Transformers would not neccessarily be humanoid, but a bad design is a bad design, surely?

I know it is fairly accurate to the movie, but that is THE UGLIEST bot mode I have seen on a transformer in quite some time.

Ohhhhh. I just tasted my dinner from three hours ago. Excuse me while I go hug my toilet and throw up. Before I go though this has my vote for the biggest shelf warmer of the line. Watch this be in a case assortment of 4 figures and there are two of these wastes of plastic out of the 4.

If the arms could rotate at the elbows and maybe even the hands too, it would make the fig much much better. I'd probably have no complaints if it had that [and combination].

With it lacking those two things, it's hard to justify that it's a good fig, but Id still say the worst fig is Armada Sideswipe

yeah looks pretty crappy but you gotta give ryan photog props, i mean in a couple of the shots the fig doesnt look too bad.

edit: does hasbro pay you Ryan to do these galleries? if not they should becasue i think your pics are decision making helpers and help hasbro make a lot of sales. like if im on the fence about a certin fig i look up their gallery here and see that if posed right it can make a nice display piece i'll get it.

Props where props are due, I now appreciate Armada Sideswipe for the engineering marvel that he is...

And Hasbro needs to re-evaluate their conversion level ratings, I'm sure that Demolishor is barely a level 1 toy, whereas the deluxes will be closer to levels 3 and 4...

What a waste of plastic. The Earth hates you, Demolishor.

Great photos as always.

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?

If they are alien and dont have to have humanoid bodies then why do they all have fairly humanoid heads/faces?

This is possibly the most laughable attempt at a Transformer ever. It must have been designed by the work placement lad.

I'm predicting the shelves will be nice and warm this summer.

Demolishor is one (if not THE ONE) of my favourite and most anticipated figure from the ROTF line. 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!

*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).

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.

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.

:shock: You, my friend, are a lone onion in a sea of spuds. :shock:

This has to be the worst figure of the line. I like the look of the CGI model, as I think it looks quite menacing. But this is just embarassing.
