That's a very astute observation, a very high age rating for a Transformers toy. maybe the result of feedback from the ROTF line.

Is it just the backpack people can't stand, or is there some other element of the toy that's turning everyone off that I'm missing?
The pictures I've seen of it out of packet look very much like the silouette is a rectangle, there is a lot of backpack, and it's not just on the back it goes right down the legs and the arms are restricted by it as well. It looks to me like there will be kibble in the way of everything.

I guess I'm getting used to more recent transformers designs where the robot is streamlined and articulate. Where the silouette is recognizable.
