Some times I hate to see the concepts. They look sweeter than what you wind up with.

Shame we didn't get the swords for Evac, would have been much better than the way the rotor blades did happen.

the pics arnt new but thier far higher quality then befor

 

man prime looks cool i wonder why the rear section looks so different

 

im happy we got evac rather then any of those concepts

 

 

 

man i wish i could work for them

i am hoping for more variations on the concepts!

 

Evac is great - lets get some more Awsomeness Helicopter Transformers!

 

 

Hunter

That would have been cool. I coincidentally Brought Evac to work today. I forgot he didn't have any practical weapons.

Hasbro probably had trouble keeping the blades in place while spinning them.

That is so true. I have trouble with the current blades shooting off.

Personally, I like the way Prime turned out to be. That flightmode isn't as good as the present one. As for Evac, it seems they designed the TF from a character POV. They wanted a TF with powerful close-quarters fighting capabilities, something akin to a martial-arts fighter: "Slim, but powerful". They managed quite well in the toy, as well as for the story of Cybertron/GF. Good job, I say.
