It says that it's a sample for photography purposes, so it's not the final product. Keep calm and duly enforce the Tyrest Accord

That's going to be soooo top heavy and floppy. I can just tell.

Those shoulder joints look really, really small.

I was thinking the same thing, the one we can see looks way too small to hold that arm over time.

Paintjob looks a bit sparse to me, like the shins ought to have the touch of red seen in some illustrations (admittedly not the cartoon). I think his inner legs would have been better white and blue on one side perhaps? Maybe the red works in vehicle mode though.... and it's maybe early/hand painted so i guess it could change. The buttflap is barely noticeable though :)

The prototype also looks like it's becoming a bit worse for wear (shoulder joint, should missile panel) resulting in the dodgy posing. Here's hoping there's no real issues or they have time to iron them out before release!

yup... he definitely looks fat.... maybe they made him look fat because he's short....? really hard to tell on photos....

if he comes out that fat on release date i'll definitely be put off..... dont really want a fat bot on my display :) I'm surprised that glass didnt crack.....

One pic through a phone camera can't be considered a good representation, I agree.

There's got to be more paintwork on him. The chest, waist and shins all look unfinished. I think placement in the display limiting photo ops (this one looks much like the crap one from before) and floppy prototype is all that is causing the fuss.

I still say BRING ON THE MAGNUS!

agree agree agree.

Considering how well they've replicated the "brick" look, the articulation and posing is quite impressive.

I'm getting a Motormaster vibe from the "uncoloured" prototype behind it though... which would be an interesting redeco if they did one.
