Feels like a Voyager-class.

Feels like a Voyager-class. ...Yet sadly this is a Leader class, which is now the size of a Voyager-class.

GG, Hasbro, GG.

I will accept this ONLY IF Grimlock is a significantly bigger figure.

i'll completely agree it

i'll completely agree it doesn't look very good, but calling it a Voyager would be doing it a disservice, since it appears to be quite a bit bigger (over 10 inch tall, i read on seibertron)

I don't care how neat it is

I don't care how neat it is in the movie, I am NOT getting this figure because the transformation and paint apps ar WAY TOO SIMPLE for a "Leader-class" figure.

WTF, Hasbro. Seriously.

More from less less from more

Well, it can't really be helped considering that ILM's gone to the "F*CK IT" stage of the designs, that we're getting more fleshed out looking giant robots that they didn't focus on producing something that will transform into a toy.

Watching the trailer last night it's going to be amazing to see how it all works on screen, but what this figure is all about is getting a transformable robot out of a shell of a vehicle.

Speaking of the trailer, was

Speaking of the trailer, was it just me or was there a Neo-from-The-Maxrix moment in there with a bot duel-wiedling SMGs and wearing a trench coat while riding on two parachutes?

Bad ass, regardless.

Well they ARE doing a leader

Well they ARE doing a leader class Grimlock.

I just want a Prime with a ridable Grimlock because that's the coolest thing I've seen in Transformers in years.

I for one love the bayformer

I for one love the bayformer optimus.
Just finished my Takara dual model kit and it's one of my best looking pieces .
Even Hasbro's versions were really nice. That said.... This thing is a horrendous mess and screams cheap KO Bootleg.
My god the garish chrome .....
What have they done... That chest looks like it came from a 1990s b grade power rangers robot.
Sigh...

For guys complaining about

For guys complaining about this piece, give it time. They'll usually have improved version way after the movie's been released.
