heres the way I see windows of all sorts on TFs, especialy prearth, they're all part of thier sensor array.

 

Think about it. in robot mode they have eyes and what not, but what about in alt?

 

The ironic part with this figure is that the windows seem to get covored up in alt. However then it's just a matter of imagineering that all those plates and pannels are ment to both protect and expand the array.

 

Thats how it all works for me though. Headlights, windshields, canopies, they're all just giant eyes to me.

Thats a pretty good idea, never really thought about how they see in altmode. At least this one is just two windows instead of the slighty ridiculous cockpit canopy of the war within version.

I'm thinking the grey truck-ish proto is somehow related to Prime in the upcoming game. Maybe a tie in toy or something.

 

Thinking the front of the truck becomes a backpack and his chest has fake out windows.

 

How awesome would it be if the Special Edition came with a figure? Not very plausible, but still...

 

Actually i been looking at the grey proto in upscaled picture, and there is a fold right above the windows that make me believe that this IS the chest and they wont "fake it out". If you look right above the crease where the windows are, you will see a break in the plastic. Im betting that you pop that out, flip the wheels back and his bumper becomes his crotch/waist, and the the back flips up for his feet and arms are inside. Im ALSO thinking this is a dlx toy due to the pencil liness and papers behind him.

 

They better release that megatron. Prime looks good, a nice sucessor to titanium but again-why does the pre-earth mode have windows? I'm sick of the "tradition" of prime with window chest, espicially b4 he came to earth. Armada prime did just fine without em.

 

Armada Prime b4 he arrived on earth looked like Generation One prime WITH Windows. Dont you remember? He looked of all kinds of awesome! And my theory of windows are they look out them to see, their optics are right behind them when in alt mode, and all beings need visual, correct?

Here is a tidbit... the Drift in the photos is a power core combiner, you can see the power master type gimmick on his hood.

 

Also @deceptikhan, if you think about it pre-earth armada prime looked alot like the prime from the new game. It kinda makes me wonder if the new game prime was not based on him.
