Unlike Arcee I'm really not feeling this at all. Front end of the jet looks like a mess. Tiny feet look like balance nightmare. Blocky underkibble.

Staying away from this.

Also that looks like an apallingly simple transformation (unclip legs from bottom of jet and point them forward, rotate waist 180 degrees - swivel for that is in the cockpit, the arms are the body of the jet and fold down... fin)

To be fair, jets are always hard to do and given the design of the cartoon's robot mode, it was always going to be an ambitious toy design. But yeah, doesn't look as appealing as the other Prime figures we've seen so far.

Yeah, Bot mode is ok, Alt mode is going to be a Kibble-tastic piece that's for sure. :(
Looking at it though, it looks to be of a smaller scale than that of Arcee and Bumblebee? :confused:

Unlike Animated, this line feels like a complete pass for me.

Right there with ya buddy. Prime is trying so hard to be Animated, but without the genius that is Derrick Wyatt, it falls way short of the mark.

If they wanted to combine Animated with the Movie-verse, why didn't they go with designs like RotF Lockdown & United Lugnut?

I sure hope that's a scout toy, otherwise it looks sucktackular.
