these particular pictures don't really make this figure look any good.. but i'm still very excited for it.

 

i'm still kind of bummed about his half fake chest.. i really think they could've figured out a way to have his whole chest made from the front of his vehicle mode.

 

oh.. and i wish that the wheels on his back were a bit thicker.

I wouldn't necessarily call that a "half fake" chest. I believe that may be the way the actual character transforms. IF you notice, it's not just a matter of size, but rather, the entire shape of the chest changes when in vehicle mode by additional armor enclosing it to complete the cockpit exterior. The only thing that I feel hurts this design is the size of the front fenders. They completely block the peripheral view like he's got blinders on in vehicle mode. If this were an actual vehicle, the driver can only see straight ahead, not side to side.

ah, but who would the driver be????

 

For me a TF is alt mode sees through it's lights, windows, and canopies like a giant sensor array. Especialy with this being a preearth mode, there is alot of room for interpitation.

actually. i believe you are right.

 

for some reason i had the video game robot mode look differently in my head.

cant wait I'm going to buy him and bumblebee first then the other ones

I love this figure and I think it may get a little more height since the heads missing and even in vehicle mode there are decent size parts missing....so far out of the three figure's we've seen prime is my favorite. I hope we get to see starscream and even skywarp!

yay cool transformers to buy again, also it makes sense that earth prime would be a bit bigger seeing how the human compartment would add a lil extra

Even in his Cybertronian form, he had a cockpit capable of carrying a human sized passenger/driver. They all did.
